SylvainThe story doesn't say if the aquatic ceremony was farcical or not.
Mat BThis is Britain. We tried other methods, this is the best one. I'll wait 😉

@MuffelKanuffel @kolya @cmconseils You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Depends on the lawyer. And perhaps on the lobby of the metalworking companies. I've heard that the arms industry is pretty well positioned in this respect.
@MuffelKanuffel @kolya @cmconseils I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
