Oh Mike, you nearly had me believing you until you added those last two words! It's a myth, the Monarch ( or her representative) never utter the words "Arise Sir" .......... Thus it's over and out Mr IndoMike! ;):D
Damn it. Caught out ! J thought I'd got away with it..

Her Majesty is never referred to as "She."

"Her Majesty mentioned it" would be more proper.

Things are going to the dogs in the Colonies. (n)

They might go to the dogs where I am within a couple of days. I'm practicing my ducking and diving already

This very day, I queued behind the half-man, half god that is Steve Flack: in Santander in the High Street. I went to the same cashier he did and asked her if she felt privileged to have been in the presence of greatness. (I think she thought I was losing my marbles!).

Forgot the best one. When my wife was pregnant with our first, no less than the God that was Tony Kellow (whose wife Jackie was also pregnant) patted her bump. Regrettably his unequalled footballing talents did not transfer with the pat...(nor skill at pint lifting, it seems).
