Coming soon to a post box near youLooking at my local FB I am waiting for someone to propose a Paddington Bear nativity scene be crocheted for outside church featuring the queen as Mary, Paddington as the baby and other royals in appropriate roles.
Are they the new Q code stamps? If not, they will have to be swapped out before January or die.I stocked up on stamps before the price rise a few months back.
will it be a faux pas that xmas cards 2023, 2024 and possibly 2025 still have Liz's head on them?
Oh the Beeb have wheeled out Giles Brandreth now, it was inevitable and I am wondering what took them so long, I imagine he's only just stopped sobbing.
I remember those from the 80s, I think my interest in such things started when I'd get a shilling to spend or in change and wondering, as children do, just how many hundreds of years must have existed between "the olden days" and my holding a coinI remember coins (shilling and two shilling) with King George VI on them still being in circulation as 5 and 10 pence coins in to the late 80s / early 90s
they're the new ones.Are they the new Q code stamps? If not, they will have to be swapped out before January or die.
I was scrolling down and thought it was nice that someone else has a portrait of the queen on the living room wallI've been moaning to my girlfriend about how annoying the next two weeks are going to be, and then we went for a meal tonight and the advertising board on the main road had been changed to a memorial image thing. I pointed it out and did some more moaning,. And the scene was set.
When we got home, I downloaded an image that fits our TV, and quickly set it as the screensaver that shows when the TV is off, then shouted for her to come look. I said "we can't event escape it at home as Samsung have pushed this image to our TV!".
She went into the settings and changed it back to a nice photo of a zebra near a lake, and saved it, but on my phone I set it straight back to the Queen without her noticing.
When she turned the TV off to check the zebra pic was in place, she just turned to me in shock when Her Maj's face reappeared.
Now she said she's scared and it's like 1984 and asked me to take a picture of the TV. I don't know who she was planni to send it to, but don't want her to look silly in front of her mates, so haven't forwarded her the pic yet, but she still thinks Samsung/the government are forcing us to have a pic of QE2 displayed in our living room
I'll tell her the truth in the morning
