Driving Her Majesty

The listing on the official website of the British Monarchy specifies that the job in question – based at the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace – entails working "as part of a busy and supportive team tasked with driving members of the Royal Family, Household officials, guests and official visitors." That means being around some highly distinguished individuals, for what it's worth, but also getting access to some very rare machinery, the likes of which most people will never get close to: namely, the Bentley State Limousine, a vehicle designed and crafted in Crewe, based on the Arnage, specifically for use by Her Majesty and members of the royal household.
Don't think that the proximity to one of the wealthiest families and heads of state in the world means the job would be what you might call "lucrative," though: it pays around $35k per year, which includes meals but not the mandatory lodging, the cost of which is deducted from the salary. Of course it is a government job, of sorts, so it comes with full benefits. And then Queen Elizabeth II has been known to drive herself around from time to time, when the mood strikes (and with impunity), so there could be a lot of downtime, too.

She looks like she had a bad lunch....
Queen Elizabeth II looks just like my Mother , not the other way around
And...she promptly drove through the front door of the laundromat.
$35K isn’t nearly enough considering the terrorist risks. No, I wouldn’t zip through the streets of London to escape paparazzi. She signed up for the job which includes smiling for the camera, so smile and we’ll get to our destination in one piece.
Maybe that’s why they are having to advertise the job opening?

Obama Depression Jobs PING!
Hey! Dis here's da Queen! Outta da way!!!!
and to think if there were ever a job opening in USA, it would be to drive Hillary around to fundraisers
I thought that was Elton John.
My mistake, wrong queen!
Obie can talk to his pals in the Brotherhood....and make certain that EVERYBODY WIns on this one.
The Queen can have a whole stable of drives
The Mooselim Terrorists get JOBS..and the Queen gets treated like a New York Taxicab Passenger...
what could be better
imagine... a hundred drivers all named Mohammed
Hill's probably a tougher taskmaster, second only to Queen Sheila Jackson Lee.
Hillary Clinton hasn’t driven a car since 1996

Officer Dymond was mannning a security checkpoint at Westchester County Airport when Clinton's driver, rushing to get her to a Syracuse fund-raiser, sped by at 35 mph and failed to stop for another 100 yards...
Put the windows down, someone fatwaed.
we saw Hillary suddenly start screaming at volunteer aides at one of her fundraisers....very abusive...
her hubby was so obviously embarrassed he quickly went over to hugging the wall and appeared to be trying to morph himself through it, it was quite weird really
made us all feel really sorry for him
that was the FUSE on that dud bomb mohammed was carrying
