Has the Queen died?

[Cloo]

It's going to get a bit tedious if everyone gets 'Oooh, maybe she's died' every time she doesn't make an appearance. For the last two years or so of his life after he hit 90, my granddad could never be sure if he could make it our or not on a given day - and he wasn't especially frail. It's entirely plausible Madge won't be able to attend things a lot of the time.

Yeh she'll send one of her doppelgangers

On the 'Oooh, maybe she's died' thread!

Has she ducked again? Philips death has hit her, it is affecting her mentally and physically. When someone has lived with their spouse for as long as this and they die, they often go downhill fast afterwards.

Difficult to say...

Bahnhof Strasse As U75’s official resident travel agent, I hope you are working on a range of last minute holidays that you can offer us when the tragic event happens. I for one would be willing to take a week break to anywhere departing the morning after the sad news, and weather the displeasure of my employer for the lack of notice.

Yeah, I am already preparing a number of breaks to nations that have violently deposed of their royals. There will of course be a “mourning levy” attached to such trips, but it’s once in a lifetime, or until Chaz croaks in three or four years when, hopefully you’ll have saved up enough for another trip…

could just go to Sligo

Narodnaya Volya tours?

The Queen did say that she was angered by people who dont do anything all their lives but sit around and give well-meaning speeches.

That’s okay. I’ll offset the extra cost by selling a story to the Daily Mail of the missus and I going on holiday, packaged as ‘Sick ‘mourning dodging’ holidaymakers brag about enjoying a beach break to avoid national mourning period’. Extra money paid due to my being a foreigner, I am sure. You might as well upgrade us to the Presidential suite, come to think of it.

They never lived as a normal couple though. They probably spent more time living apart. Even the kids had to book an appointment to visit Mummy.

One of the gardeners saw Philip carrying a rolled up carpet out of Sandringham with one of his Butlers early one morning, and there was an arm hanging out of it.
OK I made that up.

 

[ddraig]

Nah, I was in London and that was bad enough...

I was in France and the hotel people were well shocked we weren't dressed in black and crying!

Probably Margaret, after a good night out.

My company is German so not sure how this ^ will go. I mean I can invoke the Saxe-Coburg thing and they may think we're more upset about it than a UK employer would*... Holding onto that anyway.

*I was working in France when the Queen Morher died. My French colleagues were really surprised/shocked that me/other British people were like . They all kept giving me their condolences. Which was...weird.

It'll be big in Hanover.

 

[Cloo]

Even if they did hold back the news of the Queen's death for a few days (which they won't) it'd hardly be a conspiracy - hiding it for months or years might be, but has been pointed out elsewhere, all mainstream news media has had a plan for this for years and there's no reason not to release it ASAP when it happens. Sure, now would be a particularly poor time for national morale, but that's going to remain the case for a period of years so it's not as if they can wait for a 'better moment' to announce it.

Sentimental tosh! She didn't really live with him. Separate bedrooms in different wings; the occasional conception via sterling silver Turkey baster; twenty minutes every morning sneering at each other over Earl Grey Tea and a wall of Tupperware boxes filled with cereals; different itineraries most days and blanking each other at official banquets. She sent him off to live in a squalid shed in Norfolk for the last five years of his life.

When he crashed his Range Rover a few years back, he got the Queen to ask Tony Blair to take the points for him. He had asked the Queen to take the points, but that wouldnt have worked as she only drives dangerously on private roads.

The crash was the end of his last failed bid for freedom. He was heading for a Greek safe-house in Islington where he would be issued with false papers and smuggled back to his Corfuviot homeland.

British King George V (1865 to 1936, left) was terminally bronchitic, bedridden, and passing repeatedly in and out of consciousness. Shortly after 11 pm on January 20, 1936, the Physician-in-Ordinary to the King administered a pair of lethal doses intravenously, to hasten the struggling monarch’s demise. This regicide was only revealed a half century later in the diary of the euthanizer, Lord Dawson of Penn (1864 to 1945), who penned: “I therefore decided to determine the end and injected (myself) morphia gr. 3/4 and shortly afterwards cocaine gr. 1 into the [King’s] distended jugular vein….”

She was directing it from her bedroom

I’m sure at her age you can easily sprain your back sneezing.
I’m half her age and manage to pick up random sleeping injuries.

Aah a whole thread where the zero self awareness woke crowd show their true shitehawk colours
Nasty fuckers

30 years ago we'd have been called 'lefties'. Than it was 'politically correct' and nowadays it's the 'woke crowd', though I'm sure I'm missing a few of the intervening terms used by gurgling twatblankets like Spanner.

Jade Goody died on Mothering Sunday which always struck me as being narratively convenient, so there's always a chance with Lizzy "going down with the setting of the sun"

Is there an Arid Dry Nonce Day for her son to meet his maker on?

Was the squalid shed in Norfolk where they do the turkey basting?

he was danish - the greeks got rid of the cunts decades ago and he landed on his feet marrying brenda - there’s no homeland

Although 'zero self-awareness' is more politically neutral.
