Madge is now the world's longest reigning living monarch. In a few years' time, if she doesn't pop her clogs first, she'll be the longest ever. I'd prefer it if she was the last ever.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Me three!
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

And me!
Sometimes I wish my first word was 'quote,' so that on my death bed, my last words could be 'end quote.'
