when dining formally at Buckingham Palace (Her Majesty just will not leave me alone

) the tines of the forks point towards the diner. this is due to an historical event where somebody was injured. who?

re. Queenie Mum there is a brilliant game on viz's website, you get a virtual pet called the queen mamgotchi. also download the kleptomania game, i challenge you to find it anything other than hilarious.

Sorry. That was sheer impatience. I didn't even have a question lined up, I was just spoiling everyone else's fun.

ops:

'Allo 'Allo question...

What was the name of the fat balding pompous and stupid German officer? (not von Klinkerhoffen)

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 4:35 pm

i can picture him, fat fella. can't think of his name though.
even though i think it's the other one i'll go for lt grüber (the one who fancies rene)

Yes, every one can remember Lieutenant Gruber and von Klinkerhoffen, but it's a lot harder to think of the fat guy.

I'll give you a clue, he's a colonel.
