How has The Queen helped men with impotence?

No Google or Wikipedia

There are klaxons, naturally, so be bold, preferably interesting, but never obvious.

How dare you Sir. I will get my seconds to call on your seconds to arrange a time and a place.

Hint. If you are ever challenged to a duel take note from an expert Isaac Brock, the Guernseyman who saved Canada from becoming part of the US. He was challenged by a crack shot and chose pistols against the advice of every sane man in his regiment.

As the challenged (some might say mentally so) Brock also got to choose the conditions of the duel, 20 paces turn and shoot etc, and he chose "handkerchief" a duelling term that apparently means face to face!

At that distance even a blind man wasn't going to miss and his opponent who was obviously not insane declined to continue the challenge!!!!!!!!

"face to face!"

"a crack shot"

"going blind"

Is there something on your mind, pebble?

but I'll give that a QI bonus afterall. +6

Thanks for the bonus

And thanks for the welcome to "Carry On H2G2"

Interesting = good.
Klaxons = bad.

Taff got Pavloved at at early age, and hasn't been the same since!

So about 'our Liz' and the men in her life?

How has The Queen helped men with impotence?


Reading it as a crossword clue hopefully avoids dealing with impotent men, and looking at The Queen as the source of impotence. And that suggests the impotence as a general inability to act which has helped men.

Or

Is The Queen a different entity to the Queen? The reference to "our Liz" and the men in her life seems a rather over familiar reference to HM.

So are we looking for another Liz?

Such as Elizabeth Taylor and her many husbands?

>Reading it as a crossword clue hopefully avoids dealing with impotent men

There's no getting away from it, I'm afraid.

>that suggests the impotence as a general inability to act which has helped men.

Ditto.

>Is The Queen a different entity to the Queen?
Unless you know of any other Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windors, knocking about the place, then I think not.

>The reference to "our Liz" and the men in her life seems a rather over familiar reference to HM.<

I am, shall we say, not a monarchist.

>Elizabeth Taylor?<

Nope.

That was like running through a minefield blindfold.

The good news: nothing went bang.

The bad news: I turned 180 degrees and arrived back at the beginning.

Yes and not a single klaxon tripped. Impressive. Most Impressive.

In the middle ages, legend had it that Kings of France had the power of healing scrofula by simply touching the sick. Maybe the Queen inherited (a modified version of) this power?

I will suggest that the queen has perhaps removed the requirement for the wearing of some sort of garment that caused overheating the men's genitals.

An interesting thought TB, but that's not it.

I am the very model of a modern major general?

Nope.

You can get treatment for impotence on the NHS, and because the Queen regularly pays huge amounts of tax and national insurance on her earnings, she is therefore....oh. Perhaps not.

Has HM just raised the emoluments of the Royal Knob Polishers.

Cue Kenneth Williams.

A pragmatic answer hd.

No...perhaps not.

Just my joke Pebble.

A clue I feel is in order:

She is personally recommended by gynaecologists.

Royal Jelly ?

which of course is made for the queen in a hive
