I had expected a turnout of dignitaries similar to that for Emperor Hirohito. I really missed the mark there. No representative from the Philippines or did I miss it?Originally Posted by fedssocr

Unfortunately I have to agree with A447. The post I deleted was a very clear, albeit subtle, breach of the rules on this board and the well known laws of Thailand. If we cannot post simple information without the risk of members trying to cause trouble then it's a problem, and it's a problem that A447, Christian and myself will not allow.
Notwithstanding the deleted post.
Christian?
Really?
He's far too sensible to take any of your moderator nonsense seriously.
Nor should he.
If you say so Scottish. I suspect that when you were mod for about 30 seconds you pomped and preened like a delirious cock. Probably even had a badge made.

Apposite
Is apposite the new word of the day, or something?
Speaking of words, FRM, I'd never heard the word obsequies before. Thanks for the education

I think it's the appropriate term for this occasion.
Obsequies: I Googled it to get the origin/history. Interesting to see a graph indicating that during the past 200 years it has become almost obsolete.
As has Len
Indeed, it has a very respectful ring to it.
Being just a wee bit pedantic though (as is my wont) in the thread title you describe HM as the "former" King. In my mind, King Juan Carlos of Spain is the former king. HM would be better described as the "late" King. What say you, good sir?
