Really? Nobody here has fuck all to say, good or bad, about the most notable and longest serving head of state of any country for millennia? A woman that has seen a dozen scum sucking lying piece of shit prime ministers and presidents along with several popes come and go? Wow.

One thing I was told before I went to Thailand is you don't say shit about the king. If the topic comes up, it is best to tactfully avoid addressing it.

I said "notable". I doubt you even knew where Thailand was or that it is a monarchy until you googled it.

If this "money-sucking" you're refering to is the civil list then the royal family costs us absolutly nothing. The monies received by the exchequer via the crown estate duties to the treasury, pays more into the exchequer than it costs to run.
That doesen't even begin to address the value in trade and goodwill that the royal family drums up worldwide.
Anachronistic as it may seem, the monarchy do useful service for this country. I wonder how many republicunt pricks, that like to mock the monarchy, will be working into their late eighties.

Srsly, who doesn't know where Thailand is? 
And @ deucedbi9 - The duties do -not- cover the costs of the crown, and the costs are much higher than 'advertized' by the British Govt. and are of course designed to not make your citizens mad about supporting a bunch of useless royals with hundreds of millions a year... The actual costs of which are estimated to be over 300 million a year.
It's not huge money by any means, but I think it's pretty fucking stupid these people get a free and very luxurious ride - exempt from all work - from your citizens just because of having special inbred blood

I never said there was one more notable... You said head of state for any country.. I showed you where you were incorrect.. You replied "I said notable". I replied showing you that you said "most notable" originally (I was never disputing that (notability), I was showing you that your little fact wasn't correct)

If notability is tied to how much you've actually done - than any leader is more notable Hell Obama was more notable when he was in the US Senate. There's nothing notable about your reign being nothing but flying around the world visiting formerly subjugated countries and taking pictures with their leaders.

He's first cousin one removed of his wife - It's difficult in a sense not to inbreed for them, as they are forbidden to marry non-thai nationals and marrying plebians is a big no no... it would seem most of the royals are probably in his family

It's been the reality probably a lot more times than this wikipedia article has mentioned 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mentally_ill_monarchs
A lot of times if its extreme enough almost all 'duties' would be taken over by a reagent however. It's the ones who are there enough to demand their rightful authority but insane enough to wreck havoc with it that are the best/worst
Hell Ivan the Terrible wasn't even considered 'mentally ill' but damn was he an insane motherfucker.

Forty fifth time I've noticed deficiencies in your powers of observation. I mention eels at least 400,000 times a day. I've actually met Queen Elizabeth, for real and she's incredibly boring but seems pretty humble for a person given masses of importance for no fucking reason.

Genuinely, yes. A relative got an OBE and I had like 15 seconds speaking to her. She's far less of a bad person than anyone in such a position can be expected to be. The inside of Buckingham Palace is like a fucking Zelda dungeon. 10,000 identical things in a row but with all sorts of winds and turns apparently designed to throw you off. Without a guide you could probably starve to death in there.
But yeah, based on 14 year old memories, she was a perfectly decent person and seemed to find it kind of amusing that she had to knight people and shit, but I may have just been projecting my own views.
If by lollipop man/woman you meant the people who guide children across the road and have giant stop signs, I'd know exactly what you meant, but they're really rare now. If you meant something else, I don't have a clue.

Yeah buckingham/windsor are so complex and like 99% of the rooms are goofy ass vestigial rooms no one would ever use for anything, and each probably has about a million to 5 put into it. Some of the rooms are just completely obnoxiously gilded with gold

So.. When she dies what happens? Charles and then William? And if both die, who is next? Harry or William's child?
And she has a husband, right?

lol. Yeah he has the freedom to party a little as he is not likely (sans some calamity) to have to ascend the throne.
If everyone in this country took their duties as seriously as the Queen, and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, this country wouldn't be quite so far down the shitter as it is.

Land ownership in Canada is held by governments, Native groups, corporations, and individuals. Canada is the second largest country in the world by area; at 9,093,507 km² or 3,511,085 mi² of land (and more if fresh water is included) it occupies more than 6% of the Earth's surface. Since Canada uses primarily English-derived common law, the holders of the land actually have land tenure (permission to hold land from the Crown) rather than absolute ownership

Canada's national anthem is "O Canada," that's what's sung in the morning in schools (often they go through the whole thing twice, in English and French.) "God Save The Queen" was the official national anthem before 1980, not sure if they sang that in schools instead of or along with "O Canada."

When I was young we sang O Canada and said the Lord's Prayer. When I got older, we stood and listened to an instrumental version of O Canada on the intercom.
Queen was just a face on money though.

Not in my part of the UK, England. We don't have any form of the 'pledge of allegiance' either.
They used to play the national anthem on the close of programming on BBC television broadcasts. I havn't had a television licence in over ten years... (more quaintness eh?) so I don't know if they still do, or, if programming ever ends, I believe it's like 24/7 these days.
They do still play the national anthem on the BBC's radio 4 before it goes over to the BBC world service at 1am.

So what if the queen were to die, would God Save The Queen still be sung, or would it be changed to something about the King (Charles)?

Yeah. Unless Charles comes out of the closet and announces that he's a raving queen, it will become 'God Save The king'. It would be fun though to sing, 'God Save our raving queen'.

Tell us more of this license to watch television. I have not heard about it before.

The licence-fee pays for a shit-load of advert free television, national and regional radio stations.

There's nothing stopping you from watching, but, until recently it was a criminal offence subject to a £1000 fine or imprisonment, rarely used, as a last resort, to watch without one.
Every two years I still get a letter from the 'Beeb' telling me to contact them to affirm that I don't require a licence. But they can obtain a search warrent to varify the fact.
I have a television but it hasn't ben 'plugged in' for over ten years, and wouldn't work if I did as the whole of British broadcasting went digital some time ago.
I can watch online as long as I don't watch 'live broadcasts'. Slightly concerning is that on the odd occasion that I have clicked on a live broadcast you get this warning: "Don't forget, to watch TV online as it's being broadcast, you still need to be covered by a TV Licence." I thought they were tracking me via 'cookies' tracing my ip address and cross-referencing with their licence holder data-base. I'm assured that that isn't the case.
