Pomp, Pageantry, and a Prat of a Prince?
Onan,
Vietnam was not a declared war....but I can assure you with 58,000+ dead....it sure seemed like one to us that were there. When soldiers are dying....does it matter to the individual squaddie what the bosses are calling it?

Green for the grass he never walked on,
Red for the blood he never shed,
Blue for the sea he never sailed on,
Yellow for the streak a mile wide up his back.
Sure looks RM to me, by the way, what instrument did he play?

Look here and you will find this:

Have to say he gets a pass though. Look carefully and you'll see he has the red above the yellow with equal width stripes, ...and he might even have a dark green background.
(he's also wearing one of thosed deuced blue shirts with the white collar
)

Good God! is nothing sacred? American Universities?

I will stick to my Confederate Cotton Brokers Tie thank you very much. Quite the rage in London around 1861-1865 but then went out of vogue for some reason.

At the risk of being accused of taking this off thread again can you please tell me who would succeed if Prince Charles was to pre-decease HRH.
Would the line of succession pass to Prince Andrew and his heirs and assigns?
The query is prompted after seeing some silly twit on TV calling for him to stand down in favour of Prince William. The thought arose that if he did Prince Andrew would get the ermine etc.

Just to get back off-topic, I've always tested those of a republican bent with the words 'President Thatcher'.
If they shout, "Hurrah!", I respond with the words 'President Kinnock'.
They can't have it both ways.

Timex, your post has contributed nothing to this thread. If it isn't a RM tie (I'm sure it is), then what is it?
Probably if you'd read Onan's thread you would have seen this explaned already...........

Line of Succession
errr - if the first 10 in line should snuff it (God forbid) then Zara Phillips would be the next in line. Not too bad - a bit of a looker on the throne (with a stud in her tongue) and knocking around with a Rugby World Cup winner 
Sorry drifted off topic again

Interesting Royal fact: If Edward VIII had not abdicated, but everything else had remained the same, The Duke of Gloucester (currently running 18th in the line of succession) would now be King. Such is the fickle hand of fate.
I don't suppose it matters much. Do we really care what kind of person our Monarch is, provided they remain dignified and impartial? In which case, The Duke of Gloucester would have fitted the bill perfectly well.

Okay, timex, let's look at your first post again:
You're right, the thread was started because I thought HRH was wearing a RM tie (remember? I started the thread!). Your post contributed nothing because you didn't propose an alternative or support your argument. Anyone can claim someone else is wrong, but without submitting evidence to support this they make a very poor argument.
And:
Yes indeed, maybe if you'd care to read his post again you'll notice he posted AFTER me. I am not telepathic, so whether he has explained it or not this does not affect the veracity of my recent post pointing out how little you've contributed.
So don't try being sarcastic to me unless you can back up your arguments.
Its [sic] not a Royal Marine [sic] tie.

Actually I have to retract my earlier posting. I've realised that the picture I posted wasn't in fact a Royal Marine tie. You can tell that if you look closely...because there are no food stains on it

Reminds one of the closing song from Blackadder Back and Forth...
"At last a king who is a king,
at last a Queen who looks good naked..."
then Zara Phillips would be the next in line.
