Has the Queen died?

[N_igma]

She'll be alright.

Wouldn’t be so sure about that I heard she’s already coughed up about 12 million…

[Epona]

Well I've had a mild case of Covid (which I wouldn't have caught if OH hadn't been repeatedly exposed to anti-vaxx, anti-mask, anti-test morons at his workplace) and have been holed up in a shitty damp flat where we can't afford to put the heating on for 2 weeks and I still feel completely gak (not a real word but sums up how my state of health feels right now).

OH has had to go back to work (night shifts in a factory 2 hours travel from where we live, thankfully he has recovered better than me) the day his mandatory self-isolation ended and only got bare minimum sick pay for the 10 days he was off work rather than his full wages, which has been really shitty and we can't now pay our electricity bill and have had a disconnection notice.

I am sure her maj probably doesn't feel great with her mild case but at least she is not going to have those additional challenges that some of the rest of us have to deal with.

Also fuck Boris, fuck the Tories, fuck the Government, fuck capitalism.

 

[moochedit]

I bet the pope reads this thread for example.

What username is he?

 

[platinumsage]

What username is he?

Looking at the lurkers, I could be wrong but I suspect vinegar strokes

 

[weltweit]

That is shitty Epona and tough for your OH that he has to travel so far to work. Hope you manage to find the funds to pay the electric bill. And hope you get well soon.

Can they actually disconnect you? I thought these days they had to offer you a pre-payment meter, still shit of course but not quite as shit as sat there in the dark.

You're probably right. I'm too frit to open the letter

 

[bellaozzydog]

You're probably right. I'm too frit to open the letter

I always feel better once I’ve opened the bills and started fighting back

 

[stavros]

So if she's got Covid are her staff having to keep their distance? Is she wiping herself whilst sat on the throne?

 

[MickiQ]

You're probably right. I'm too frit to open the letter

Before you do quote Moby Disk (and The Wrath of Khan) "From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee." then you open it.

 

[PR1Berske]

Her Maj has cancelled some Zoom calls today. Light duties not light enough.

 

[magneze]

If she can't even turn off video and pretend to attend it must be serious!

 

[pesh]

Just stick a stamp in front of the webcam.

She is probably as fed up with hearing Boris's denials of partying as everyone else is.

 

[T & P]

Still unwell...

Queen postpones more engagements after Covid test

The 95-year-old is continuing with "light duties", four days after her positive Covid test was announced.

[Artaxerxes]

She’s 95, aside from winning at Rummy or scrabble she shouldn’t have any fucking duties.

well then she should retire instead of clinging on like a power-mad monarch

 

[Artaxerxes]

What and lose access to those raffle prizes?

 

[brogdale]

She doesn't; we pay for tens of folk to tell her she has.

 

[not a trot]

Thrown a sickie twice in a week. Coffin makers on standby.

 

[Elpenor]

Surely it’s time for a sickness absence review meeting to be triggered by HRH-HR as per the attendance policy.

 

[Riklet]

No news is good news.

 

[Badgers]

If her long overdue death happens the same time as David Attenborough I will go postal.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Her dying right now, in the middle of the Ukraine crisis, would be pretty spectacular.

 

[tim]

I find it difficult to imagine Brenda having a spectacular death under any circumstances.

 

[Pickman's model]

I find it difficult to imagine Brenda having a spectacular death under any circumstances.

You can hope. An alien exploding from her stomach as she reads the queen's speech, for example

 

[Sprocket.]

She will do anything to avoid driving a lorry again, as she did in WW2.

Royal Mail?

The Azov battalion can teach her how to use a rifle?
