Do you guys end daylight savings on the last sunday of october?

because i don't care if they fudge it a little, let the queen formally pass during the phantom hour of october 31st

"sorry chuck, her madge was alive at 1:59 and at 2 AM she had been dead for half an hour, so we cannot specify the time at which the title should have passed to her heir. It's all sorta up in the air. We'll get this sorted out before you pop your clogs for sure *wink*"

This duplicates all her titles within the GMT zone, necessitating they build another mace to defend Parliament against royal spiritual influence.

Can you guys please keep her alive so us yanks don't have to suffer from 24/7 coverage of whether or not Harry and Meghan are going to the coronation?

Harry's gonna land in Wales, proclaim himself King, then lead an army into the Midlands and consolidate his position, before advancing on London. Charles, finding his support evaporating, will attempt to flee to the Continent but will be detained by the London militias, before being handing over to Harry as he enters the city in triumph. Imprisoned in the Tower, he will conveniently die shortly afterwards, as Harry is crowned at Westminister Abbey, among popular acclaim.

God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the King!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On him be pleased to pour;
Long may he reign:
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King!

it owned when the poets were ex soldiers who were like gently caress this loving sucks what poem can I do to make nobody want to ever do this again

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Not possible. You can't be an American citizen and have noble titles. If you ascend to the throne you forfeit your citizenship, rendering you ineligible for the Presidency.
