Also, a country is run by a count or earl, though in modern times it is of course a mayor... :)

Oh yes I miss read that. In which case the sign is wrong ;) I think they mean a soverign state since "country" is a bit of an issue c.f. Black Country and West Country neither of which are "run" as neither are geopolitical states. Amateurs.

I like it! Very stylish. And I do like my non-round coins for some reason.

Competition to devise the design for it's flipside. Shotgun entering the crudely drawn male genitals!

Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith

Though obviously in other realms she is styled slightly differently...

ok thanks didn't realize that was still official... especially the Defensor Fidei went ad absurdum pretty quickly anyway, at least from the perspective of the one who bestowed the title in the first place...

defensatrix ;)

Actually, I do not know if that would change with the gender...

The RC title was obviously stripped on the excommunication of Henry VIII, however, parilament elected to bestow it again as governor of the Anglican Church and it is as that position why they still maintain the fid def

yeah that's what came of it... though originally when the Pope gave that title to a certain Henry VIII of many wives (for writing a book in defence of the Sacraments and generally staying loyal to Rome despite the Reformation going on...) there was no Church of England yet. That was founded a couple of years later when the selfsame Henry VIII broke with the pope over a divorce and general discord and thought it would be neat to have his own church where no old man from Rome could tell him which girl he could marry... Kept the title though, because it sounds nice... So yeah, Defender of the Faith? Kinda, but not the one he was originally intended to defend :)

Our top reporter, Mr Mystery had this to say.

This does not necessarily, ipso facto, mean I will spend more money on beer. Once I hit 10 pints, that's about it. I'm ready for bed, or too drunk to coordinate further drinking. And that money I'm not spending on pop, because the duty has gone down? That can toward like, more veg or something. So sod off, Hippie do-gooder!

Yes exactly! The price doesn't effect how much I drink on a night out, just how much change I bring home :D

Damn hippies. Why do they want to force their religion on everyone else?

Not what you'd call sudden, or unexpected, but bummer all the same.

It's not great, but she'd been teetering for literally years.

At least she's now at peace, and happy memories remain.

I know the Lone Ranger was a flop commercially, but I rather enjoyed it. Just watched it now and I think it was good fun. Strongly influenced by Once Upon Time in the West, with a good pinch of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Tesco uses picture of beef cows rather than milk cows for ad. I think it is quite funny, a few farmers seem to have taken it as some sort of personal attack.
"Farmer Richard Yates, who has a herd of 100 Friesian cows near Bridgnorth, told the Shropshire Star that Tesco was using cows that "would never have been milked in their lives".
"That shows how out of touch they are and what they think of dairy farmers.""
or that the people who do tesco ads are not farmers maybe?
