The Queen of Britain

What happened ?

Here you go: Link. ( http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page1.asp)

(shaking in pants) king george... 1917-(whenever elizabeth took over)

Now I see! But what if for example, there come a time when the Queen of England has no sons? That means the daughter will become Queen and there will be no king, right?

However...what happens if the Queen has no kids at all? Will the nephew/niece take over? :D:cool:

Like during WW II, there was Queen Victoria.
:D :D
Xeon, don't get me wrong, I mean no offence, but that was the highlight of my day so far... Queen Victoria during the WWII?!! Have you never heard about the victorian age? The 19th century bears the mark of Queen Victoria, who ruled over the British empire between 1837 - 1901. I believe that is the second longest reign after Lois XIV (1643 - 1715), 72 years, and Ramses II (1279-1213 BC), 66 years. (Lois was only 5 when he became king.)

There were just a few queens on the throne of England\Britan:

Empress Matilda (1141)
Lady Jane Grey (1553)
Mary I, Tudor (1553-58)
Elizabeth I (1558-1603)
Mary II (1689-1702)
Anne (1702-1714)
Victoria (1837-1901)

That, along with Elisabeth II, makes 8 queens.

Here (http://www.britannia.com/history/h6f.html) is a list of all kings of queens of England.

Now I see! But what if for example, there come a time when the Queen of England has no sons? That means the daughter will become Queen and there will be no king, right?

However...what happens if the Queen has no kids at all? Will the nephew/niece take over? :D:cool:

Yes, there is a line of predecessors who are heir to the throne. If there are no children then depending on that line the next will become king or queen.

Why all these questions xeon, were you thinking of faxing your resume in to apply to become heir?

-Deniz
92,538,267th in line for the throne.

The throne of britain maybe, but everyone reckons that they have some relative in some obscure monarchy somewhere.

Actually as it just so happens my great grandfather was the equivilent of a duke in the Ottoman Empire. (True!)

So if the Ottoman Empire were to ever rule again... who knows...? :o

My first decree would be 150 days of games in the great arena... No wait that was a different empire... :D

This happens to me when I really need to go.

Well... I thought the Britain throne line is know for it's incest... :rolleyes:

Long posts make me sleepy and I truely dont want to sleep. being around sometimes much better, still.

U mean Winston Churchill? This guy is even tougher than Sir Alex Ferguson! He once said to the British people during WW II when German planes bombed London 24/7. He said "We will fight on the land, we will fight on the sea, we will fight in the air. We will never surrender."

Hitlet got freaked out in the end that Britain doesn't wanna surrender regardless of how much bombs they used. So they moved on to Russia. :)

Yeah and he brakes his neck here :D . So any way from all foreign leaders of the 20th century Churchill is the greatest.So Queen was very lucky that she got such primeminister. Any way I think that monarchy is the best form of rulership

(er....this is a serious thread. if you wanna hi-jack this thread, do it on other threads, or on the "Happy Birthday, Xeon!" thread. OR ELSE. Nobody dares to offend me here, kid. :thumbd: )

Thanks!

U only have 1 ounce of Reputation box and just 44 posts? Look at me now, son. Who's closer to God-Mode?

Me of course :D

However, it must be noted that I'm slightly closer to dev-archive God-Mode than you
Stay in line... :D

From NoHero:

No way. You may have lots of Reputation boxes, but your post count is way more than pathetic. On the other hand, you are closer to God-Mode than Ree.
However, it must be noted that I'm slightly closer to dev-archive God-Mode than you, because post count is more important and creditable than Reputation boxes. :D:thumbd:

Who told you that? You really think a person with higher post count and less knowlegde is worthful (offcourse by asking questions he'll be increasing his post count) or the person with higher reputation point with lower post count (by helping others offcourse)?

Hmmm, how fast are you Xeon? Unfortuantely the posts in Chit/Chat doesn't add in post count, neither in reputation. The last post that you did (which incrased your post count) was on 07-10-2005, 08:26 PM ( Software for mobile phones (http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348368)), next to it was 06-28-2005, 06:21 PM (Re: Dictionary!!!

With this rate, how long it will take you to reach the mark? Hmmm...may be 2012. I guess thats the reason why Queen is holding back, :rolleyes: or unless you start spamming :p

The closest to the god mode is her majesty Queen of Britain, and Winston Churchil, Iosif Stalin :D :D , and well Jackie Chan

I've got a question:

Why does it matter if a Queen rules or a King? To me, this thread topic is a mute point...

//I'll take some new pictures of my little girl this weekend and see if they resize well into an avatar.

If you're trying to make fun of my signature you're not making any sense...:D...nope...what I actually meant is...the monarchy system like the 2nd mouse...they get fatter by pushing the 1st mouse to the the cheese first...then after the 1st mouse get killed by the mousetrap...the 2nd mouse a.k.a monatchy leaders happily take the cheese without sharing with the 1st mouse relatives...so we must be live like birds...the more we work, the more we get...and the monarchy live like mouse...the more citizens, the more the taxes,and they doesn't have to do anything instead of wasting the taxes...

wooh...it's rather long... :eek:

Nah! Wrong. Should be either "Texan flag" or "Texas's flag". Not "Texas' flag". :cool:
Nah... Wrong. When a word ends with 's', the termination we are talking about is no longer 's, but just '.

I believe that the correct line from Rod Stewart's song is

:D

PS: Well, probably you were not thinking at the "Have I Told You Lately" song...

Actually, I was thinking of that song. :D But I didn't want my little Florian to be jealous! I must respect my CG engagement. ;)

You do realise that if Rod Stewart had been a rapper instead of singing "Have I told you lately that I love you" he'd have sung "I'm poppin' to slap my ho every nizzle".

Oh... how cute, thank you
Idiots! What do u take dev-archive for? How dare the three of you flirt openly in public and tease each other in such a gross and sexual manner?
I don't care if the three of you are in a triangle-relationship or 2-guys-1-girl kind of thing.

THIS IS CODEGURU, not some dating chat-room for singles etc.
Brad wouldn't like it, and the moderators are pretending not to know because I begged them to give the three of you one last chance.
If you three wanna flirt, go register a Yahoo! ID, log-in to the chat rooms and do it there.
You WILL get banned for doing this despite my warnings.

In the far past, before the three of you teenage kids came here, there was a girl in dev-archive by the name of Nana. She was always acting cute and bouncy, and keep flirting and teasing and clinging to one particular dev-archive member. Guess who's that? Andreas Masur? Gabriel Fleseriu? Xeon? Brad Jones? Simon666? SolarFlare? NONE OF THESE!
The guy she targetted was none other than MiCk!!!!

In the end, she got banned for such flirtatious and desperado-clinger acts here. She returned sometime later, under different user names like HomeTown and several others, until Brad got sick of it and banned her IP address altogether, which means that she can't enter dev-archive again, unless she change ISP and use another new computer.

The three of you are matured enough to know what's right, what's not. Again, this is a general chit-chat room, not some flirting/hot sex message board. If the three of you behave in this childish and utterly disgusting manner again, I'll report to the moderators.
Oh yes, one good message board to discuss love and flirting etc. is http://members.lovingyou.com. :rolleyes:

You have been warned.

Actually I do see a point to a monarchy which is above reproach.

However, with recent events (i.e. Prince Charles marrying in a registry office) I think it's about time we got rid of them.

I think they've out-lived their usefulness. However romantic it may be, it appears they've lost sight that they are, in fact, payed for by the tax-payers of the UK and living in the wealth that they flash about has to have its drawbacks.

I have to say, I think it's about time we stopped having a monarchy.

Darwen.

Xeon - the way it works is this... the Head of State in a kingdom is the monarch - who may be a king or a queen. There is only ever one monarch. Kings are automatically monarchs but this isn't necessarily true of a queen. A queen may or may not be a monarch, depending upon whether or not there's a king (kings always take precedence over queens). To become a monarch, you must be related to the reigning monarch by blood - not by marriage. That's why Prince Phillip is only a prince and not a king. Most of the queen's blood relatives have some sort of claim on the throne but men take precedence over women. For example, Princess Anne is the eldest of the queen's children - but because she's a woman she's way down the pecking order. Men take priority over women - but more improtantly, children take priority over siblings (brothers & sisters).

Therefore, Charles is first in line. Next in line is his first born son (William). Then his second born son (Harry). Then Charles's eldest brother (Andrew). Then his next eldest brother (Edward). I'm a bit hazy after that but I reckon that next in line will be Andrew's daughters - then Edward's daughter, then Charles's sister (Anne). However, if Charles had a daughter, she'd take precedence over Andrew, Edward and Anne (+ their offspring) and if Andrew had a son he'd probably take precedence over Edward. Anyway, Princess Anne is way down the pecking order which is a bit of a shame - since she's probably the most sensible out of the lot of them!!

[Edit...] PS - it used to be the case that neither the monarch nor the immediate heir to the throne could marry a divorcee but that seems to have been relaxed in Charles's case. However, Camilla won't be allowed to call herself queen. The wife of a king can usually call herself queen but she isn't a monarch and - being related only by marriage - she has no claim to the throne. On the other hand, the husband of a queen can never call himself king because a king is automatically a monarch.

Simple, isn't it?? :confused:

Actually, I was thinking of that song.
Well, that means we are on the same wave length.. ;)

In the end, she got banned for such flirtatious and desperado-clinger acts here. She returned sometime later, under different user names like HomeTown and several others, until Brad got sick of it and banned her IP address altogether, which means that she can't enter dev-archive again, unless she change ISP and use another new computer.

I have to say, I think it's about time we stopped having a monarchy.[/qoute]
I can't imagine Britain without the monarchy, kings, queens, etc. etc. Probably they don't have any real power, mostly symbolic, but that's the key, the symbol, the romantism. And I find it so "cool" that the head of state of Britain is also the head of state of Canada, Australia and New Zeeland.

[quote=Darwen]There is a pecking-order of cars in the country.

Only the Queen is allowed to drive around in a Rolls Royce.

The Prime Minister has to be driven around in a Jaguar because he can't up-stage the Queen.

Similarly lower ministers are driven around in cars considered of lower status than a Jaguar.

Next time you see Tony Blair on TV getting out of a Jaguar, now you know why he's not getting out of a Rolls Royce.
:ehh: Wow! Enlightening... But this order involves only the officialities.

Simple, isn't it??
Yeah, right. But enlightening again.

But not knowing the song mentioned above, just makes me feel... to young... and a little bit misplaced...
I'm not that old, and you're never too young to listen the greatest songs of all times.

Here's an interesting fact :

Similarly lower ministers are driven around in cars considered of lower status than a Jaguar.

Darwen.

That is totally interesting!! Isn't it funny how seriously some people take things? Like the car you drive... Could you imagine the Parliament hearing on this one? "John Smith would like to bring to the floor a discussion about Her Royal Highness' mode of transportation and how much better it should be than yours..." Why then isn't she toottling around in a Bently or something? :D

And why isn't Tony Blair using a skateboard?
POINT!
Question: Is anyone else in the UK allowed a Roll or Jaguar?

And why isn't Tony Blair using a skateboard?

Because he bailed three times while trying a fakie ollie 180 varial kickflip of the funbox. :rolleyes:

It's funnier when you assume otherwise...
What do I assume otherwise?

What do I assume otherwise?
That nobody else in the UK is allowed a Rolls or Jaguar.
Well... I think it's funny... <ahem> oookaaay... :blush: :D

LOL!!! :D

Ah-hem! Of course I know Roman A. isn't the boss of Manchester United, kid! I'm just not sure which team he's boss of. Anyway, no. I don't watch football cos' it really sucks. Dunno why. In this aspect, I'm just like most girls....football and basketball really sucks.
Actually, basketball is much better than football, cos' with basketball, there's all kinda real-cool and gravity-defying dunking techniques, like the back-flip slam-dunk, the scissors-leg dunk, the one-hand slam-dunk and Michael Jordan's airwalk.
In football, the most spectacular skill I can ever see is the bicycle/overhead kick and no more than that. Sigh.

.are u a Singaporian
No. I'm not a Singaporian or a SingapOrnrean. I'm a Singaporean. And the girls are cute. Most of them. :cool:

Our John E is back! Oh my! :D
Actually, I don't think much of Anne...just another pampered royalty who has nothing better to do than to walk the dog and ferry the doggie to the hairdresser for a dog-haircut that costs 540 pounds, right?
At this rate she's going, the poor girl's gonna gain pounds very soon indeed.

On the other hand, I personally think William would be the best choice for king, assuming he can oust Charles. Charles seems to be another scandal-filled guy, no offence. At least William is doing something good and sensible for himself, at least compared to his brother Harry, who always get into fights, do drugs and girls, and worse of all....so immature enouh, in his position as a Prince of Britain.....to wear the NAZI uniform to a party?!!!

football is a combination of all sports...tossing like basketball, kicking like muai Thai, running like marathon, formationing like chess, you just name it, and you can find it in one holy sport->football...but one thing for sure, they're not farting around and cudling their teddy bear to ensure they are in the winnign team!...basketball is all about size; big guy, big bulls, big junk, big publicity but small brain, small ground, small small... :eek:

//and the Queen also loved football:rolleyes:
EDIT: and the Reds is the best..

From United Ree Devil:
when you throw a ball to 22 men, they start thinking how to 'scoring'...
I cringe in total disgust when I see the footballers display their own $%*&# pose when they get a goal. U saw them before? Like Alan Shearer or Ronaldo, Michael Owen etc. Running around in circles with all kinda winning poses. Is that sick or what? Trying to act cute?
And what's this about footballers invovled in all kinda sex scandals?
Kobe Bryant is one bad basketballer, but the ratio of naughty basketballers to naughty footballers is 1 : 25. Pathetic, kid?

Also, a pack of 22 idiots running madly across the large field chasing a ball which has no IQ at all. How insulting to us humans is that?
At least in basketball, the players jump up and that simply shows that they aspire in life. They soar high for the stars, their dreams! Footballers? My foot! They run horizontally here and there, mind they don't crash into walls like crash dummies.

do you know how great in 'scoring'...yes, I can see you grin in sensual lust...it's just the same feeling of what you just imagined..
I feel like whacking the sheet out of those b--ta--s whenever I hear them roar like lunatics when a goal is in, even the coolest and calmest ones...they lose all their sense. Barbarians, pal. Barbarians.

Even if David Beckham or Ronaldo score 2 goals in 4 seconds by executing the bicycle kicks...what does it mean to you? Will u get rich? Get 20 girlfriends? Get promoted? Get a Ferrari? NOOO!!!
If no, what business is it of yours that those footballers score?
I don't understand! It's not like they just caught Osama or something. My god. What the...

sometimes it's even more...and the graceful move to passing, shooting, heading, lobbing, et cetring...nah, u can't picture it in your brain, you already left it in the stinky basket full of rubbish
Waita min....what's that news about that drunk footballer who pisses into a beer bottle, right on a bartop at a club, in front of the girls?
U want gangsters, Man Utd has it. Chelsea has it. So has many other teams. Wayne Rooney, anyone?

football is a combination of all sports...tossing like basketball, kicking like muai Thai, running like marathon, formationing like chess, you just name it, and you can find it in one holy sport->football
Tossing like basketball? Where's that? They just kick the ball, chase it, kick the ball, chase it. Chase what? Is there gold in the $%*#@ ball? NO!!!

Kicking like Muay Thai? Not even close! Go watch the football shows. All the kicks are the same types and can be classified into groups, with a couple of variations here and there. U compare this to Muay Thai? Muay Thai's kickings are far more stylish and if applied to the football itself, the nut will burst into dust.

Running like marathon? Hmmm....in a way, that's true. But there's no finishing line and these idiots don't even know it. When will they stop? When the skies crashes down?

Formation like chess? This is getting crazier! These team managers are plain crappy, I tell you. Besides, which sports doesn't talk about formation?
Formations and strategies are cool on paper, but in practical, they are useless. How in the he|| do u know where your opponent will stand and when he'll strike? U don't.
These football fools always rely on formations and that's why the score is always 1 : 0, 0 :0, 0 : 1, 2 : 0.....
If these fools love binaries and assembly figures so much, why not join dev-archive in programming?
Same old boring football scores....(yawns)

and the Queen also loved football
Nah, she doesn't.
She just wanna hype up the sport. America's main sport is basketball and the NBA, not football. That's why the US very very very seldom win any world cup etc.
In Britain and most of Europe, the main sport is football, and you've hyped-up and fully commercial entities like Chelsea(Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill Clinton?), Man U(as they love to call it), Real Madrid(Fake Madrid, anyone?) and Liverpool(Liverpool? Heartpool? Kidneypool? IntestinePool?) etc.

Good day,
Xeon.

Also, a pack of 22 idiots running madly across the large field chasing a ball which has no IQ at all. How insulting to us humans is that?
At least in basketball, the players jump up and that simply shows that they aspire in life. They soar high for the stars, their dreams! Footballers? My foot! They run horizontally here and there, mind they don't crash into walls like crash dummies.

What would happen if each fellow was given a ball each?.. Atleast they would stop fighting Support Peace! (http://www.supportpeace.org/) :p

From United Ree Devil:Woop..stop there kid...the Reds is not the Red Devils...this is the real Reds I talking about...and I kind of dizzy to read your long post...got a lot to spit it out, eh...;)
Also, a pack of 22 idiots running madly across the large field chasing a ball which has no IQ at all. chasing?..so i think basketballer din't cahsing, they just loved running:D
I feel like whacking the sheet out of those b--ta--s whenever I hear them roar like lunatics when a goal is in, even the coolest and calmest ones...they lose all their sense. Barbarians, pal. Barbarians. and don't tell me you just stood there watching your big guy dunking...do you really watching basketball?... or chess?..
If no, what business is it of yours that those footballers score?Do you ever heard about betting...this sounds like business to me :rolleyes:...even if you're the mr.nice guy who do not do betting, still you must know this-> THEY SCORED MAN!!...

after this point, I can clearly see you do not love neither football nor basketball :D...

but you can see my point from my posts when you quote this:
...I tell you. Besides, which sports doesn't talk about formation?yup..you're right...each sport have their own beauty...that was I try to realoze you when you start confusing ;)...

but I want to tell this...that's a great feeling when we can hang around with bunch of our friends while watching somethign we loved...but when you watching it alone, it can't give you the right feeling...when I said watching, not just watching...there's a load of side-activites...be it football or basketball or anything, boost your enjoyment of watching the sports by playing it yourself..;)

//the Queen loved football is just to make sure I still in the right thread:D

I was born in Liverpool...! :D :Dand you live in Manchester...when the Reds meets the Red Devils...which is your stand...or you are the Man City folk..or you just don't care:D...

to bijuabrahamp: there are only two types of sport when involve with ball:
1) they want the ball (e.g: football, basketball, etc)
2) they don't want the ball (e.g: tennis, bowling, besball, etc)

How strange way has human thinking and mind. We begin to talk about mohnarchy and British monarchy at all, and now it`s about football, I think that will be my new topic for new psychological research :D
no need to research..just involve in any topic with your colleagues and see how the topic grows from one to another...and most of the topic is off-topic:D

//and looks like we were now tend to off-topic if I continue to psychological topics...unfortunately, i'm no brain doc :rolleyes:

//what the Queen eat today :rolleyes: (yes I still in this thread)

Neither. I don't watch sports and I prefer documentaries....<words in vain>...and....reality TV...<another words in vain:D>so my prediction was true...no need to explain then about the 'weird but good' feelings while watching sports;)...

documentaries sounds useful, but reality tv?...maybe you're the big fan of William Hung...the wacky guy from the-latest-Greenday-album's-title...can't say it here, 'cause you know the law here after that bang stuff:D..

reality tv is just another polution to our world...moreover the kind that hunger for your SMS to support your choosen ome... just like election via SMS...big money for producer, big :thumbd: for viewer...
I hope everyday is a World Cup 2006;..<vain stuff, must neglect:)>if you easily get something, you'll never appreciate it, kid...everyday with chopped chickens, someday you'll want to chop roasters...

//Queen, Queen, QUeen...there..me, still in the topic..

to Skoons: your avatar suits the waving smiley...same color...;)..
