It's That Man Again!

[Humph Warden Bennett]

Hi all, just to let you know that our old friend "Royalist" is back from Outer Space/the Thirteenth Dimension/ Tir Na Nog , & he is posting on the Indy as "Charles". His contribution to the Brexit debates is to suggest that Brenda rule as an absolute monarch, assisted by a council of twenty four elders.

[floo]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh?

[Robbie]

Floo, Private Eye nicknamed the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, "Brenda and Brian", a long time ago, because they looked so middle class.

I don't know the Indy or Royalist though, sounds a hoot.

[Nearly Sane]

Indy is The Independent. Royalist was a poster on the BBC boards.

I don't remember them.

[Robbie]

Oh thanks, I'll look at the Independent site.

[Humph Warden Bennett]

I don't remember them.

He was the one who ended all his rambling posts with "PRAISE TO OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJA".

Remember him now?

[Anchorman]

Ohhhh....one of those?

[Robbie]

I couldn't find it (plenty about Indy car racing, Indiannapolis and even Queens Park Rangers FC  ),even though I googled Independent Newspaper discussion forum.

I don't think there is separate one, I think Humph means they are posting in the Comments section following on from stories. Probably easiest if he linked to the story where the comment is.

[Robbie]

Oh I get it, thanks. I don't know if you have to pay to read it online but I'll have a look.

I think it fair to say that he was unique. I did ask him once if he practised some kind od neo Rastafarianism, with QE II replacing Haile Selassie, he sent back a charming but incomprehensible reply.

I have been trying to find it, its one of their many Brexit articles.

Incidentally there is another poster on that site who uses the moniker "Vlad the Impala" who may or may not be somebody else we know. Another former BBC poster, "Nice Chappie" is there, at the weekend he made an acrimonious response to one of my postings, so I of course replied that it was nice to meet him again & sent a kiss.

Did he cross swords with the poster that thought she was the proper heir to the throne?

Indy isn't paywalled

I don't think they were posting at the same time. I do remember that at one time he was being slagged by a Christian Fundamentalist ("Gigantic Freddie"), an agnostic ("Toby Jugg"), and an anti theist ("Karl"), all on the same thread for entirely different reasons.

Emily?

Was Gigantic Freddie,  one of the many aliases, of the Hexagons of Lightning chap?

[Nearly Sane]

Emily?

Indeed, also believed that the Moon was much smaller and much closer.

Emily?

Hell's bells - don't even go there.....

How horrible!

Yes that's the one.

Possibly. He came across as being a sincere, if rather unpleasant individual.

[Robbie]

How horrible!

It wasn't meant to be nasty, floo, I read it many years ago at work. It wasjust gentle joshing about the appearance of the royal pair going about their day time duties, visiting places and meeting people, the Queen always neat and hatted with handbag rather like a middle class lady at a wedding. Lots of people commented on the ordinariness of her dress but her working clothes had to be unostentatious and comfortable. When dressed up for a big occasion she was quite different!
Nobody would think of saying things like that about her now but it was never vicious.

I do know a little about HM, probably more than most on this forum, but I won't say anymore.
