Silly Colonials
Fourth of July or no, today I feel just a bit of pity for our poor republican readers, for behold …
Yes, we have a monarch. And through her benificence, we have the Congratulatory Message Service. Should one of us poor serfs survive 100 years (or 60 married years) as Her Majesty’s loyal subjects, we can apply for a congratulatory certificate signed by our local member of parliament, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Prime Minister, His Excellency The Governer-General and of course, HM The Queen. It’s been rumoured to even include an autographed photo of the Queen. She’s so dreamy….
Sadly, by the time either Anna or I reach the requisite milestones, we’re much more likely to get a message from King William V, which is somehow not nearly as cool.
