Not many speak it in the UK either! 
No, what I am mgetting at is your use of English and the Queens head on Canadian money is a relic of the British Empire so I wondered what you feel about it?

I feel the use of English is fine. It's not really considered a UK-ish thing these days. Not sure if I feel the same about having the queen's picture on currency. They don't do it in the States though. Nor do they do it in former colonies like India.

I guess the language has got so global its become divorced from its roots.
India isn't part of the Commonwealth then? I don't remember if it is or isn't, if it is she will be the head of state.

India is a Commonwealth nation, but India has a President and Prime Minister.

In the past maybe, but not any more. Looks like a subset of the Commonwealth nations have the queen as head of state.

Talking of English and its modern usage I had a meeting with some Indians and one of them used the word 'upgradation' which is a most awful use of English.

I doubt that there would be much resentment towards Liz II, because she's an amazing woman.
Once Charlie the Idiot takes over, though, I imagine that countries will be petitioning to leave the commonwealth in droves.

Now I do not normally care too much about the latest smart phone, however I recently decided to look for an older model. Looked on Thursday last week and decided to think about it.
So I went to the store yesterday. Wow, people out the door. I was told the new iPhone came out.
What do I care?
So I guess I will stick with my "dumb" phone for a while.

Older iPhones are basically free with a 2 year contract with most major wireless providers in the country. Buying it online through sites like Amazon may get you better deals (like cash back or gift cards).

Now we are all going to need bigger pockets in our pants. Or maybe we'll need to go all European and start carrying man-purses around to hold our phones.

Not sure if this has been posted before, especially since I haven't been patrolling The Lounge very much these days.
I think these are pretty accurate for the most part. Anyone have any others to add?
