I'm going to drink through a straw now. I know how my victims feel when I'm done putting an MMA clinic on.

 

Fucking hell! Did the kid from the taxi carry on catch up with you, AH? :whistling:

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck, mate! :good:

:lol: Thanks everyone. Feeling sorry for myself won't help owt and, having looked at it in the mirror, you honestly wouldn't know if I wasn't smiling. I can shut my eye too so I don't think I'll have to tape it shut while sleeping. Seeing a specialist at the Freeman through the week though so I'll see what they say. Have to take 12 steroid tablets in one whack is ridiculous, mind. I'll come out of this like Hulk Hogan.

Based on my limited experience of knowing one person who had it, you've nothing to worry about, neither medically or appearance wise. I think we humans over-estimate how much notice people take of us, at least amongst our close associates anyway. Strangers might think you look wierd, but fuck 'em, they don't know you so why should you give a shit? I took more notice of the humungous cist the size of a tennis ball on his neck, that fucker looked ready to burst and shower anyone within 10 feet with pus. But I'm pretty sure that one wasn't caused by the other.....

Mrs. F. just asked a question that I'm not 100% sure of the answer.

If a ruling UK (male) monarch died whilst his wife was, say, 5 mths pregnant with their first child, who would be next in line- the unborn child or the next living person in succession, like a younger brother?

I said it'd be the next living person, but not sure if that's correct?

Aye, having read up on it, there's a couple of months of this then it should recover. I can't underestimate how little it's changed though. I've gotten very lucky in that sense. Just don't ask me to smile in photos.

Would go to a fight off. The next in line versus the champion of the unborn child picked by the mother. Full WWE hell in a cell hardcore rules.

Would it not become the wife until the child was born and came of age?

The right answer of course seems to be this:

 

Assuming the monarchy uses male line succession, then the eldest male brother would become King, as unborn children have no legal rights, which is as true today as it was in the middle ages - the right to succeed to the throne being a legal issue after all. The same would be true if the child only has sisters, assuming a UK style succession (pre-George).

 

However, as soon as the child was born, he or she becomes King or Queen by virtue of now being a person with legal rights and now being in the correct position in the established line of succession - the sibling would have to relinquish the Crown in the exact same manner as if a previously unknown but legitimate claimant to the throne came to light.

Would pass to the person alive* I think. Succession is decided by an act of Parliament anyway though so the law could be changed to fit circumstances. Which just underlines the silliness of the whole process.

Edit: *Already born I mean.

in the good old days there'd be zero chance of the child being born. It'd be red hot poker time...

The boy king would probably be murdered at his own wedding, everyone would blame his uncle, but really it was the chancellor of the exchequer.
