[bearman]

Hi

Please could we have some commemorative items for this weekend? It's not often one of our royals get
to spend 60 years on the throne

thx

Hear, hear!

It's fun to get a new cool item in game, so I like this idea. However I personally really detest the royals and the fact that they are on our currency here in Canada, get rid of that and the Govener General as well. If they are a good fit for the Brits then so be it but let's have an end to Imperialism across the world.

Feel better now?

Didnt take long for this thread to turn into a political rant.

[bearman]

Yes off with his head

All I want is a Gold plated chocolate crown, Jubilee coin, a big diamond and a scepter
and a flag and a pony........ Wait perhaps not the pony

[Draconomicon]

So we would be getting something for the Queen but not all the veterans on Memorial Day?

[bearman]

Do you know what? I wish I could delete this post. It's just not worth it.

Troll away.

[Dramoor]

Bearman, I thought it was a good suggestion.

Afterall, we did get memorial day flags last year draco *pulls out sword with troll slayer*

Please don't take my post as a troll, I agree, an item would be nice. And like I said, if the brits like their monarchy, then so be it, it's their business. I'm just expressing my personal frustration that, among other things, any law that the Canadian parliament passes, is not law until the Queen's appointed governor general approves it. True it's more of a formality, but still, it irritates me.

Side note, I'd like to get a Canada Day item from the shard too, but it never happened, to my knowledge.

It's us colonials' fault for not taking Quebec in the way back. We're sorry.

But look on the bright side. We didn't take Quebec.

lol thanks I could use a laugh today.

I dunno guys, I'm not myself today, I've been on strike for a month and the union bargaining team just walked away from the table again, so i'm looking at another at least two weeks.

So, in an attempt for good spirits, and for Bearman

"Long Live the Queen"

unions aren't all there cracked up to be. 2008 was on strike for 3 months and united steel workers ended up not getting anything for us. except being out in cold without pay for that long and a at a boy. so we have no confidence in out union. good luck with yours though. live on border with Canada so long live the queen

Ok this is my life/view on the game.

I work all the hours I can for very little money, I struggle from one bill to the next day after day.

But that's the real world, then there is my escapism world Ultima online. I come here to have fun and forget about the nasty side of life and hang out with my mates. The MOST important thing for me is that this is not the real bad world, I play for fun. I don't want all the political, religious drama I just want to have with fun with friends and forget.
The original post by me was me just trying to inject more fun into the game.

ok it's 4:20am and I've probably drunkenly rambled on too much.

Please stop taking things so seriously and try to have fun. But if trolling for trolling sake is how you get you kicks
then please just go away and leave me alone I'm far too busy in real for it

[mojo jojo]

cheers to playing uo when you have been drinking
