I don't like to break it to you, mate, but the Queen did not attain her
present position in the way you describe above, nor did any previous
monarch. "The King is dead; long live the King!" - or Queen, but you
will notice there is no mention of knife-like objects nor of sexually
aroused Egyptian women.

Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here that, eh?
That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me, you saw it
didn't you?

Wasn't it the Lady of the Lake who handed over Excalibur? Ah, but that
was probably for the Welsh throne.

P.S. We (in AUE) have had a terrible spate of cross-posting lately,
leading to the reappearance of people we thought had died and gone to
Hell. It's good to see that there's at least one sane group out there.
