    'Like' British queen on Facebook

    You can 'Like' British queen on Facebook
    Users will be able to receive news on monarchy but no 'friends' allowed

    You can "like" the U.K.'s queen beginning Monday, but you can't be "friends" with her, according to British media reports.

    And you certainly won't be able to "poke" her...

    I'd think that poking the Queen would get you sent directly to the stocks or the gallows.

    Maybe they would go "old school" and send you to Australia!

    HRM does like to stay with the times. I think I can remember her taking place in an internet chat some years back, can't I? And her Christmas message was posted on MySpace last year at least.

    I don't use MyFace or SpaceBook or SpaceFace or any of those things, but I do believe I would like HRM if I were to meet her in person. She's my grandmother's age, and I like my granny.

    I suspect instead, you might be held indefinitely "at her Majesty's pleasure." Another word for locking you up and throwing away the key.

    Gentlemen, may I ask for some clarification?

    Who exactly is "HRM"?

    I know that the various princes and princesses get "HRH", and the Queen herself is "HM", but "HRM" is a new one to me.
