Encounters with RoyaltyMy good friend Jonathan once had to entertain the Queen whilst she had her portrait painted. The night before he was panicking as he didn't know any clean jokes.
Have you met someone royal? Are you royal? We'd like your story...

raining plasterIm guessing we're taking royalty to mean leaders in general,as some countries dont have royal families
A few years ago,I was really into a band called The Others,who were well known for their 'guerilla gigging'. One time,they were meant to be doing a gig at the V&A museum,which was cancelled at the last minute cos they V&A realised The Others fans are known to be a bit rowdy. The lead singer was (and still is) a really decent guy,so he texted all the fans and said "Meet us at the V&A and we'll have the gig elsewhere.
Well,it turned out the gig was at the Polish Club. Im not sure how they had persuaded them to let 100 scruffy indie oiks in,but they did. However,throughout the gig,the band were getting messages to stop the fans jumping and to quieten down. Eventually the clubs people threw us all out
The reason: the ex-Polish prime minister was having dinner downstairs and the jumping was making plaster from the ceiling rain down into his food.
We then all went and broke into Hyde Park and sat about smoking,drinking and singing.
