But of all that stuff, the thing Britain saw get under its new king's skin was a leaky pen. Or we can pitch in to be betterNow honestly, which of us can't think of something that irritates us "every stinking time?" But as royal clichés go, I'm not sure "every stinking time" ranks near the top. It's early to judge, of course, but the late queen seemed to be a little more clever with the quip. When Henry VIII decided he couldn't bear the bloody courtier, said vassal was whisked away to the block faster than you can say "off with his bloody head."
