Are we just too cowardly to try and wear braces? We think Serge from Kasabian could probably pull it off, as could Tom Waits or someone equally cool. The guy on the left looks quite cool but the guy on the right looks like a right wally; but wait - is it the same guy? Are they just a bit crap?

Earlier in the week, Firebox spoke to the Queen backstage after her annual address to the parliament; pictured above is our man asking the questions.

She spoke to us enthusiastically about “economic growth, justice and constutional reform” and other things like “devolved institutions” and some sort of “Green Investment Bank”.
