To the citizens of the United States of America from

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen... Elizabeth II:
12 May 2016 at 1200 GMT


(Not meant for those lacking a sense of humour, and or those that refuse to read a note in its entirety before making a comment)

In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
(You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy).
Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.
A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.'
Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'
Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').
(I love that one)

Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
There is no such thing as U.S. English.
We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' '
(I love that one too)
3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists.
The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent.
Guns should only be used for shooting grouse.
If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.
5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler.
Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect.
At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables.
Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol
(which you have been calling gasoline)
of roughly $10/US gallon.
Get used to it.)
8.You will learn to make real chips.
Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all.
Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. New Zealand beer is also acceptable, as New Zealand is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer.
They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them.
American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys.
Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters.
Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
11. You will cease playing American football.
There are only two kinds of proper football; one you call soccer, and rugby
(dominated by the New Zealanders).
Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America .
Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians (World dominators) first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.





God Save the Queen!

hahahaha,

i see a problem though,
Mr. Trump may send her a bill for WWII.

You kill me! I couldn't wait for the end!

We've been friends for so long ...!

Should we send the Bill with interest or a flat rate ?

And BTW.....Looking for a rematch ¿¿

So Let it be Written: http://youtu.be/2O8gTIr4lys/.

Ahhh British humor,,,,, I still don't get it.

Ah the Brits, ya gotta love em. Their "beer" still sucks though.

To be fair, Mr. Trump may send a similar bill to France
and again to be fair, to his new friend in Russia also.
(collector, remember?)

i see a slight problem though,
Fox News, "Donald has sunk to a new low."

Link please...



But they make great fish and chips...







Thank you I chuckled all the way through this I love
British Humour...

huh!!
you mean 'back to the future?'

Jai,
You love I lust you
* Private joke.. Shut up people *

But you are suffering from Trump-phobia .
You rarely post, & when you do, most are about Trump.
I know he has said, long ago, about pulling jobs out of India. And that concerns you.
'Putting American first', for Americans, those things are going to happen.

So make a thread called " I resent Donald & Vladimir's Bromance "
And me any my dancing banana will make a pit stop.

The class of jobs i think you are referring to is 'back-office and call centers'. No problem, in fact, muddled up our culture.
check out our India forum, haha

The next level: C++ & C# programming, companies that need people with zero social life; young Indians fit in very well.

next higher demanding MIT equivalents, negotiable.

not all people fit in stereotypes you know.

not all people fit in stereotypes you know.

Of course not. Where did that come from?
Americans, as a people, don't want to change India or any other country.
Every culture is battling to keep it's identify & uniqueness.
And IMO they should.

The queen got 3 things right.
1. The USA doesn't have real beer.
2. Real football is played with a completely round ball.
3. The World Series is misnamed.

Hilarious British humour, (note the u).

Guess that's why I don't like British humour. Can't stand the accent! Ho ho govnah! Fancy a bagel and mashers. Long London ice teas and London brisket. Lol.

pretty sure the UK paid off its WWII-Debt to the US!
Might be the only ones who did!

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/britain-pays-off-final-instalment-of-us-loan-after-61-years-430118.html

"Debts may have been paid off, but we were still losing lives to so called 'Friendly fire'incidents in Iraq and elsewhere could be construed as debts. So I think the debts owing tag are reversed and they can never be repaid.

We don't want the UK's money.
But everyone else's.. So we can pay China.

hahaha, good try UK
that was the loan. what about 'cost of war'
less deductibles for Iraq

Cost for Titanic - Bill to Germany
Cost for saving China - 1 trillion
(the Chinese may forward it to the Japanese)

but i don't think there's a Portia who can save you from the Collector.
hahaha
--xxx---

your jokes are like those pretty BA hostesses passing by...,
so the whistles.
