men who would be king

Have you ever considered trying to be king either in this country by a coup , or going to a distant land and getting rid of the evil tyrant and getting yourself made king .

If you were going to do it where would you go , Ive always fancied helping the cachins in burma, is it possible to do, do you think .

Whats wrong with going to say iraq and pitting faction against faction and making yourself the new king of iraq , for all you know you might make a very fine king of Iraq

Do we need more individual empire builders, with plenty of pluck and a few cases of rifles and a few shaggie ponys

Anyway this is a career maybe some of you have thought of but not thought possible ,maybe you should give it some thought

 

Oh no, not the Cachins again. I was forced to dream of them, just to get you to stop talking and let me go to sleep. You always do this at festivals. And you wake me up really early in the morning, come into my tent and insist on telling me stories. And when I fall asleep you hit me. Shocking!


Anyway, Iraq wouldn't be the best choice I don't think. Even the Americans can't control it. Colombia, or maybe Afghanistan would be better. Plenty of competing factions and warlords there to pit against one another.

 

you may have a point on iraq , on the other hand when the yanks withdraw the factions will start fighting then there might be a chance

I have silk maps of cachin land fine place to be king of

Fine people the kachins backbone of the old burmese army just need the right leadership, I feel its a land just waiting for the right people

 

We're probably all far to stoned.

 

Isle Of Mann. I would gain a great run for my Royal Enfield... If I split the Island in two with vicious rhumours concerning lineage or boot perhaps... don't know, anyway, that's not the point! I could pit them against each-other thereby maintaining a paranoiac structure of... yes, the Breens against the Monicans, we shall have technological rule, if anyone tries to cross the boundary lines I'll cut off all their assets... Just cut them off...
And maybe some Welsh Corgis for tea.

 

must be something with you brits about monarchs... maggie thatcher's son tried to be a king in some african country

 

Maggie would have managed it , but still he was showing the way to go although he was crap at it

 

There's an island in the English Channel called Sark. It is, perhaps, the last feudal system left in the world. They have no cars there, and probably no guns either. In the 1960s a man tried to take over the island armed with one rifle. He failed, but that's because he did it alone. In numbers it could be done. However the island is nominally British, and such actions may incur the wrath of the army.


There is, however, a less bloody way to go about taking over Sark. The island is divided up into 40 plots of land. Each land owner takes in tenants, but only the land lords can vote in council and they have their own pew in church. Each plot costs around £1m. So if 40 of us each got £1m, or more to convince the buggers to sell, we could each buy ourselves a plot of land on Sark. Thus unified in intent, we could be kings....

 

pah a petty kingdom compred to kachin land a land full of drugs and jade and such like , with jungles and mountains

 

And you have heard what then happened to the other 39.

 

oh and theres gold there too , really i bet someone reading this will go there and be made kings before us its such a fine prospect

 

We would buy one plot each, and thus rule all the land on the island. Or we could buy 21 plots, get a controlling vote on the council, and pass an Act calling for the deaths of the other 19....

 

There can only ever be one King surely, otherwise it is a parliament.

 

Must I divulge all of my brilliant plan to you? Oh all right, I was planning on stabbing the rest of you in the back when you'd outlived your usefulness....

I nominate The Island of Cuba.
After The Cubans bearing up with the current administration for so long, our regime would seem a model.

Hey didn't The Brits take Cuba during the Anuls Miricalus? But than traded it back.

 

Actually the Cubans love the Castro government. And despite being a dictator, he was a marked improvement on Batista, their last dictator. Besides, I'm a socialist anyway, so Cuba would still be red....

 

Sark... cool name

 

Love to be King of England.

So I can then command a whole fleet of army men back to Britain as they are fighting on a lie. Surely they realise that now but they have no choice of getting out cause if you try to leave the army,you get shot for deserting. Tradition that.

 

Yeah, then we can send them to France. Don't know why we're picking on the poor Iraqis. The frogs have always been the enemy....
