The Queen is still fuming about my Corgi jokes, so I expect to still be "on the outs" with the House of Windsor.

My father once owned a Chrysler Windsor, so I'm hoping that connection will be enough to wrangle an invite.

Get a life :p

If Fergie isn't there it won't be much of a party anyway.

will.i.am may show up in her place.

I'm getting my hair did on that day.

That would be a great car to own!

Pushbutton automatic transmission, but no "Park" provision, so keep the parking brake in good order.

I cant make it so we are sending our mad cow leader instead. she comes from over that way. With a bit of luck they might decide to keep her or we can all wish for a hijacking.

Well sure. YOU guys are invited. I mean, you're still part of the Commonwealth and all. They (the Royal Family) are still miffed at us over that bit of a "to do" we had back in the 1700's. I would have thought their burning of our capital would have made up for it but noooo!

I'm hearing that Obama and retinue are NOT invited - perhaps payback for him and the prez of France stiffing the Queen out of the D-Day Memorial ceremonies back in 09?
