Down here in the colonies we can respect what she's accomplished and the length of time she's held the throne, but we're not too big on kings, queens, and so-called aristocrats. So while I think she's a fine lady she's far too old-school stuffy for my taste. I wouldn't be inviting her home for supper any time soon.

But her grand-kids are a different kettle of fish. They've inherited their mothers charm and her love of life and probably represent a new direction for the monarchy.

Next time the vote for an Australian republic is mooted -- and there's a good chance that will happen in the next five years -- I'll be voting to break away.

I think the first Elizabeth was a lot better.  But of course, the first one had much more political power, and probably more brains to boot.

I like her a damned sight more than most of the Presidents the US has had in my lifetime.
