>
> Rule #2 ~ Always keep your armour on & be At-The-Ready - you never know

> & shoe shop (we Royals realize that armour can be a bit difficult at

>
> Rule #3 ~ There is no Rule #3.
>
> Rule #4 ~ Squeak only when squoken to. Get free tube of Armour-Lube at
> Trivington Garage.
>
> Rule #5 ~ No clanking after 10 pm (3-1/2 hours earlier in Newfoundland
> but they don't care as long as you're not after their codfish).
>
> Rule #6 ~ The Queen's colours are Turquoise & Parple, so be sure you
> carry them on your lance at all jousting tournaments and tea-parties.
>
> Rule #7 ~ Remember you are a Knight of the Realm (which now includes
> Trivington). Sleep in your armour so that you don't bump your head
> should you fall out of your four-poster and frighten your Blue Charger.
>
> Rule #8 ~ Do not frighten the Trivington children with any of your
> Knightly Pranks. Our children are our Future (not my fault - I read it
> on the back of a matchbox) and you mustn't damage their little psyches.
>
> Rule #9 ~ No smoking when armour faceplate is in the down position,
> unless this ploy is used to confuse dragons in combat, by having smoke
> come out of your nose.
>
> Rule #10 ~ I never met this person before and claim no

> try to be, say, shout, eat, drink or leave in front of your door.
