To the majority of THE RED LION’s erstwhile philosophers and amateur astrophysicists, Midnight was when one day ended and the next began. I suppose we should’ve known better.

You forgot “willing to do things that normal people think are insane.”
Like posting in this thread? 
You’ve highlighted the flaw in your own reasoning: You’re assuming it’s logical. As you said, consider the other systems that the British have invented*.
I’m not defending the system — I don’t claim it’s brilliant or sensical — I’m just stating what it is.
[size=85]*To be fair to the Brits, they’ve made a decent go at democracy, but this is tempered but their insistence on a democratic monarchy. [/size]
I can’t speak for Canadia or Nomstralia, but in the UK is we actually don’t have a monarchy, constitutionally speaking.
They barrow your non-monarchy as their own.
Don’t mess with me at this late hour of the evening. You have a queen as head of state. Ergo, you have a monarchy.
I’m getting too old for this… <end of sentence obscured by David Sanborn’s “Murtaugh” saxophone riff from Lethal Weapon>
Forget the logic then. It’s all a question of art!
Vindicated!!
No, we don’t. Not constitutionally speaking. A monarchy relies on the monarch acting as the Executive function. The Crown doesn’t fill that role, it’s just a ceremonial function in the UK, paid for by American tourists.
HEY!
I resemble that remark…
Yes you do, just like Sweden. A constitutional monarchy. But maybe this is, like midnight, an unsolvable issue? 
Ouch! That sounds almost as painful a castigation 
12:00 am, aka 00:00 can’t be midnight, meaning the middle of the night. I’ve hardly gone to bed yet! 
And if it’s not a monarchy, is it perhaps a diarchy? 
… or constipation.
Or … an oilygarchy? A slippery philosopher king?
Or… maybe it’s all a big misunderstanding?
Mayby monarchy is just short for Archy without Mehitabel?
(Mehitabel should’ve used Scrivener…)
I’ve been to England (much to the dismay of the citizenry…), there are many arches. I would say there are many arches. So aren’t the really multi-archy?
Agent lunk! The task before you, is to discover whether or not, Jack Kerouac (I refer you to an earlier thread) https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/cool-gifts-received-for-graduation/30627/1 received the inspiritment for the Scroll Version of his novel On The Road, from Archy’s obvious scrolling literary endeavours.
Agent lunk, this post will self-desruct, in two minutes
Good Luck
Controller
Sounds like a veritable M.I. *)
