Me wrist-deep trying to find the King of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms (Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu)’s prostate
Field Marshal Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the 14 realms, Lord of Mann, Master of the Arts, defender of the faith, Admiral of the Fleet, is what his friends call him.
Well actually they call him Old Sausage-Fingers but not to his face
Thank you
King of Britain is ok too tho
Eh, we don't really use Britain. UK is more inclusive
You say "we" but there are an awful, awful lot of people in NI who would disagree with you
If UK is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, wouldn't UK be inclusive of NI?
As someone who is a UK national I did have to google this as I never remember the differences between GB / UK.
Ahh, on rereading perhaps you're talking about NI people who don't want to be part of the UK!
Well certainly but the Brits tend to ignore that part of the UK - it's a little uncomfortable so we just pretend that NI doesn't exist
So I should call it Britain so colonies are reminded they're conquered by a foreign parasite.
Sweet joke, have you got any from after the 19th century?
Yeah it's England
Are you suggesting Scotland isn't a joke? Because I have a Glenrothes to tell you about
