I have to be seen to be believed 22nd March 2022 Hello Hello and Happy Tuesday The below is a piece of faction, my favourite blend of fact and fiction! **Will you be able to spot the facts in there?**
*source from a mural I took a picture of in Belfast, Northern Ireland* I have to be seen to be believed. Queen Elizabeth II *Eddie Wildlife was sat in a small oak room in Windsor Castle about to meet someone, this is their conversation.* **HRH** Come away in you wee rascal, how are you Eddie? My, look at how much you have grown! **Me** I am fantastic Your Majesty, how are you? **HRH** I am well. You know, my mama used to call me Lilibeth but I allow my family to call me mama and as you are family Eddie, you may call me mama as well. **Me** Yes Your ~~maj~~ I mean yes mama. **HRH** Come and sit beside me, Muick get down. *A young corgi dog gets off the sofa and lays down on the floor, meanwhile Eddie sits on the sofa* **Me** That's better **HRH** For goodness sake Muick will you stop that. **Me** Oh it's okay mama I am sure he will stop *Eddie is moving his leg trying to stop Muick humping it.* *Normality is restored as the door opens and in walks a butler carrying a silver tray.* **HRH** Now then, what have you been up to these past few years since we last met? Oh look, you still have your scar I see. *Eddie looks down at his left thumb.* **Me** How did you know about that? **HRH** We don't have the best secret service for nothing you know. I actually called your Matron just to check you that were okay. *Not being prone to being easily embarrassed Eddie's cheeks turned a faint pink.* **Me** Ah you are a sneaky so and so mama **HRH** I have worked every day of the year for the past 69 years, can you imagine that Eddie, anyway you don't work that long without learning a trick or two. How is your singing voice? You simply must sing for me right now! **Me** It has been many years since I sang to you, and of course I am now an adult, so my voice is deeper. Let me see what I can do. *Eddie gets up and sings the first couple of verses of God Save The Queen.* **HRH** Stop Stop Stop, do you know how bored I am of hearing that Eddie! Sing me something fun. **Me** Yes mama, let's try again. ** Eddie grabs the sugar shaker and cradles it like a microphone, then starts belting out his rendition of **Under Pressure** the timeless classic by Queen/David Bowie.** **HRH** Yes yes yes, how clever singing Queen for the Queen, Eddie. I love it, now sit down before Muick steals your seat again. **Me** Sure thing mama, I hope you liked it. **HRH** I did, but you never answered why you are down in this neck of the woods Eddie. **Me** Well, I was hoping to do this at Balmoral, but I know since you caught Covid you are not keen on leaving Windsor Castle, so we are doing it here. **HRH** I know that, but why come to see me now? **Me** Blame that blooming Aussie fella @galenkp , I had to write a post about who I would like to meet for his community. Although I am cheating, I would like to meet you again, and have a wee chat, as last time I was still a wee bairn. https://ecency.com/@galenkp **HRH** Oh good and Eddie, have you been watching on Thursday nights the football? My Queens XI really are amazing, they destroyed the Germans, and then gave the Serbians a doing over too. I do love it. **Me** Hehe Rangers are doing amazing mama, if we are lucky the Queens XI could win the Europa League for you. **HRH** Oh I hope they do, let's show that Sturgeon women that **we are the people**! **Me** You know it mama, No Surrender, we are the people. **HRH** Let's drink to that. **Me** Let's do and then I have one question to ask you if I may. *The both take sips of their Jade Fire Tea.* **HRH** So what does the young rascal want to ask me? **Me** What is your one regret whilst you have been Queen? **HRH** Oh that is a tough one, but what makes me the most sad you know. Is the fact that I was unable to help foster world peace. Just when it looks like humans start to learn to live in harmony with each other, something happens. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine just as it does to the ordinary people involved in every other war conflict or skirmish that is ongoing at the moment. **Me** Yes I am agree, it breaks my heart too. **HRH** That is the time for my nap. **Me** Of course mama, thank you for taking the time to see me. I will let myself out.

Well, you used to sing for the Queen when you were I think if I remember it right, 12 po sir Ed and that you did drink Jade Fire tea. You ordered that tea last Feb- if my memory serves me right.
oh I love your memory, you are simply awesome oo the Jade Fire I did order and drink some, hehe pp to the Queen but was 10, well done you thought! Respect
Thank you po :)
I still remember the you have met the queen when she visited in your school. Your hand is filled with paint back then. Was it paint? Haha welcome back UncleEd!
hehe it was blood from my cutting my thumb and salamat for the welcome wee teacher, I appreciate that 😁
This reminded me of your story that you meet the queen and you were kind've messy...😅.. Not sure though
yes one as a child this as an adult :)
Lol. This is really an interesting conversation. I guess there's never a full moment with the great mama, despite her age 😁
Yes mama is one remarkable lady, almost 100 and still working !
Just another full on factional piece by you.. You can't just have enough of it, can you?
hehe yeah it is fun for me 🤣
Holaaaaaa Thiru, we should have a conversation too haha
haha oh we should 😂
Just like the wee kuya Eddie back in school when he met the queen and accidentally cut his hand. I can't figure our which part is the fiction because it sounds so real kuya Ed hahaha. Oh I miss reading this faction stories of yours kuya Eddie
Oh youre back after a week Kuya! Seems you've been busy or you lost your appetite again😂. You written it well, seems the conversation was real😁
Hellooo, uncle EM! I love the conversation you had 😆 can't spot the facts, it seems all of it. Haha.
I enjoy reading your conversation with the majesty. I actually thought it was real. But really? Have you actually met the queen before?
Hello, teacher Ed! Please say my regards to the queen, once you get to sing for her again! 😌😂
Ukraine for sure is a fact. Maybe Muick too and the years of her reign. Of course, the band Queen and Jade Fire Tea? Good to you are back, kuya!
Like it was real... Amazing faction story! 😊 I think "mama" would be thrilled to read it! 🤣 I laughed when Eddie looked down at his thumb, I remembered that story hahah. I agree with "mama" in the conclusion about peace, that is a fact. By the way, when I see your photo here and her photo I notice similar facial features, as if she really is your mama or grandmother... 😊 Or great-grandmother. 😀
I liked this story, although I still have doubts with the photo, it has a great similarity to Eddie.
