Happy And Glorious ! On her Majesties Service !

I just had to share this .

It is the acting début of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland where I have been informed by a reliable source , a palace insider no less that " she performed all her own stunts " It is also believed that " she received a seven figure sum and a share of the aptly named Royalties "
Apparently Licences to kill ( previously known as letters of marque )are also available in limited numbers ( prefixed with 00 ) from the palace website .
Rumours that the Duke of Edinburgh handed Mr. Bond a long list of names starting with Mohamed Al-Fayed are being downplayed though with a look at his website it would seem to be a logical thing for him to do !

No animals were harmed in the making of this film though her corgis were apparently tickled without mercy !

I would also like to point out that Mr. Bond has an excellent RAF trained pilot and you are advised not to try to copy his flightpath through Tower Bridge with your own helicopter without first obtaining the necessary flight clearance - A covering letter from HRH goes a long way !

Reports that HRH will leave the show using a jet pack and accompanied by Ziggy Stardust have been neither confirmed or , more interestingly , not denied either - Watch this space !

The S.T.EN. Gun

“ We will never surrender !” France fell to the German Blitzkrieg in May 1940 . The retreating British Army ended up being rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk by a flotilla of little ships leaving behind much of their equipment . A German invasion was expected ! Winston Churchill the British prime minister made his famous “ we will fight them on the beaches – we will never surrender ! “ speech and the Battle of Britain was on ! The UK desperately needed submachineguns . The Government ordered well made expensive Thompsons from the still neutral United States but there was never enough available . In order to rapidly equip a sufficient fighting force to counter the threat of invasion , the Royal Small Arms Factory , Enfield ( North London ) was commissioned to produce an alternative quickly and in large numbers . Whats in a name S.T.En. There Major R. V. Shepherd OBE and Mr. Harold John Turpin came up with the Design which became

Six Month Service - Vav Simon Chiropractor !

Every so often I visit a chiropractor to keep my bones - especially my back - on the straight and narrow . This stems back quite a few years ago when I was having problems with it . I was fine working but if i stayed in the same position for more than a few minutes my back started to hurt . I could not sit down , I could not stand up , I could not ignore the pain ! I asked around and went to my Doctor . A few people told me Vav Simon got lame horses to gallop , The doctor said it was quack useless and unnecessary treatment . I rejected his advice and booked an appointment . She asked questions and examined me . told me my pelvis was tipped to one side and trapping nerves ! This was not a supprise but sounded bad ! She told me she could fix it in two or three visits - this did suprise me and sounded good ! She tapped me about and stretched things very gently , told me to get dressed and walk about . Really weird - I walked like a drunk swaying to one side ! Then I understood - my legs w

Bonny and Clyde and the Browning Automatic Rifle

Bonnie and Clyde and the BAR ! Clyde Barrow, holding a Browning automatic rifle. BAR's could fire a twenty-shot magazine loaded with armor-piercing ammunition in under three seconds. During the depression of the 1930's in the USA criminals were looked at in a different way by many of the people who had been victimized and impoverished by the rich bankers and the emerging powerful corporations. Many people saw them as people driven to the edge that were only taking back what was stolen from them and striking back at a society and Government that let the Depression cause so much harm to so many . Two of the most famous criminals of that time were Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow . They were known to be quite skilled with their weapons, and unlike most criminals, they practiced with them and maintained them . Sadly they are considered to be responsible for the deaths of at least Nine law enforcement officers and five civilians during
