I can't imagine it really going that well. People would just nickname it The "Big Lizzy"
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;36186376]I think it's fun having a Queen, the country would be ever so much more boring without her.[/QUOTE] Well, since I'm an American, it's probably something I will never fully understand. At least you guys don't have an absolute monarchy, I guess.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;36185280]The word "lolly" makes me giggle.[/QUOTE] I got into a conversation once with a Brit on Omegle. She talked about how "tee" was the informal word for urination, and thought it was incredibly silly that Americans say "pee" instead. I'll not argue either way is superior, I don't even know if Brits really do say "tee". But it goes to show that a lot of words just seem silly unless we use them regularly.

I'd like to see how many millions they pumped into that procession earlier today that could've been invested in things that, y'know, [I]actually matter[/I].
Although I'm all for the Queen and what she represents, this just seems pointless. Why would you fuck with the most universally known and recognized British landmark? Renaming literally any other building would make more sense.
