Queen is exposed to Highland game
By Anil Dawar, Daily Mail 10 November 2004
Having one's picture taken sitting next to the Queen is usually no sniggering matter.
Particularly when it's an official photograph of the battalion in full uniform and Her Majesty is there in her role as commander of the armed forces.
But Colonel Simon West didn't appear to be taking the occasion too seriously yesterday.
********
Click for bigger image the picture will be a bit too revealing for the Queen's liking
In his cap, jacket and spats, his hands on his knees and his ankles crossed, he sat proudly in the front row of the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, next to the Queen.
But unlike his comrades, he hadn't taken the time to adjust his sporran and kilt for decency.
So the kilt flapped about for all the world to see. And judging by the grin on his face, the colonel knew exactly what he was doing.
Pip! Pip! And "Oh, Boy!!
You know they don't wear underwear under those kilts!
Nuthin to say about the queen but I sure think the guys around her could stand to bolt their legs together.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Queen:"My what a cheeky monkey this boy is on my left! Maybe the Queen does want a bit of the crumpet!"
with what he got, he shouldn't be smiling. i'd be embarassed.
what a maroon. must be a democrat to be that immature.
Who's gonna 'splain it to Phil an' Charlie?
the queen's the one without the red and white socks
God save the Queen!
Tally (whacker) ho!
Queen: "I can clearly see your nuts."
Final, irrefutable, convincing proof that the sun has permanently set on the British Empire.
ping to queen and crumpet pic!
Geeze! I thought my legs were white!
Yes I agree AND....you can see how he is holding the kilt up somewhat. He knew what he was doing in my mind and actually had I been him...I would have made sure the kilt covered everything cause he looks stupid. Some people never mature and never have any class no matter how badly you try to teach it. You either have class and manners or you dont. Obviously, this dolt doesn't possess either.
The sun never sets on the British empire because god doesn't trust an englishman in the dark.
(just funnin our British friends)
I'd say the Colonel is probably a Capt about now ...
:-)
Wonder what he was thinking? He'll probably be OUT OF A JOB when the Queen sees this. Tells you how stupid he must be.
