Prince Charles may rule in two years: Journalist
- Thread starter spaminator
- Start date
The next monarch is decided by the Line of Succession, something which predates the United States.
The next monarch has already been decided, you idiot. It's Prince Charles.
It's called the Line of Succession, which goes back to 1485, before North America was even discovered.
I wonder if he'll be at Lord's to watch England beat New Zealand in the World Cup final on Sunday.
I know cricket fan May will be there.
I don't mind the All Blacks. When it comes to rugby union they have no equal. Jonah Lomu was like a tank.
I don't like the Argies, thought. Not after the war and Maradona's Hand of God. It's just disgraceful stuff. And they are all ugly, brown-skinned, buck-toothed inbreds who were so terrified of British soldiers they actually thought the Gurkhas would eat them (which they probably would have done, actually, had the Argies not run away. The Gurkhas would have slit their throats with their kukris and roasted them on spits in Port Stanley harbour).
Too bad about all the decrepit old wartubs they sank.

Breaking news. The Royal Navy just sent a similarly under-armed Type 23 Frigate to the Persian theatre.
Warships gonna sink unless US fighter aircraft on Diego Garcia protect her.
Those things should sail in piars/threes for mutual protection.

Usual guff.
The Iranian Navy is no match for the Royal Navy.
In a war between the Royal Navy and the Iranian Navy, there's only going to be one winner - the Royal Navy.
The Iranian Navy, as far as I'm aware, doesn't have any destroyers, whereas the Royal Navy has destroyers that are almost indestructible. They can shoot down objects heading for them that are the size of golf balls travelling faster than sound.
Most of the rest of Iran's ships date from the 1970s, many of which are British-made. The Royal Navy, though, is 21 Century hi-tech and powerful.
Iran should fear Britain sending HMS Montrose.
The Argentian naval aviators were no match for the Total Navy either, until ships started to sink. Then the British stated to remember "Ahhh, yes! Argentina produces more Formula One drivers than we do!"
Beware of assumptions. Beware of Hubris.

Britain has produced 173 F1 drivers.
Argentina has produced 25.
F1 is a sport created - like most others - by those clever British and is largely dominated by them.
I do have to remind you again that the greatest nation in history is Great Britain.
Those Argentinian F1 drivers sank a lot of more of your ships than yours did of their's.
Make haste, Duncan and don't spare the hamsters! Get thee to the Gulf before Montrose ends up at the bottom, like an aquarium decoration.

Clearly, the RN is worried about Montrose' safety and rightly so.
She's somewhere between a patrol boat and a Frigate.
The British lost seven ships during the Falklands War, including an LCU craft. The Argies lost nine ships.
Type 23 Frigates are essential all-rounders, fast, adaptable and ready to take on tasks from antipiracy patrols to providing humanitarian aid.
HMS Montrose – the 5th of the frigate fleet – has a highly sensitive suite of radars which allows the ship to track aircraft and missiles up to 120 miles, and a missile system with a 20+ mile range.
She is equipped with sonar to detect submarines and a helicopter armed with torpedoes and depth charges, which means – if we have to – she can take the fight to submarines many miles away from the ship.
The ship’s motto is “Mare ditat rosa decorat”: the sea enriched but the rose adorns.
In 2012 the ship acted as the escort vessel for Queen Elizabeth II during her Diamond Jubilee visit to Cowes, Isle of Wight.
Before entering her most recent refit, HMS Montrose was awarded the Fleet Effectiveness Trophy for best frigate in the Royal Navy in 2014.

They are undergunned, obsolete and out-classed by every other frigate on the planet (including ours) but other than that, they're nice little ships.The British lost seven ships during the Falklands War, including an LCU craft. The Argies lost nine ships.
