We had a visit from the queen today.

I had to work out of town so I didnt get any photos. She got a free Blackberry phone. Everyone says she was her usual pleasant self and still very witty.

I like her ominous stare at the latest Blackberry... :)

Another article assuming all Blackberrys are the same.

This one appears to be the Bold 9700. She should've got the Storm 2  ;)  ;D

King's and Queen's. Ooh's and aah's are heard when they drive by. Frantic waving crowds of common folks stare at them in disbelieve.

Then it becomes all clear to you; the queen has to go to the crapper too after coffee in the morning...

Just curious, but what do you Australians and Canadians think of the Queen, bearing in mind she's British and is head of your states?

Does she actually do anything?  :-?

I thought her position was more of a figure head at this point, kind of like a state bird or something?   :-/
