Has the Queen died?

Begins with w...

Led by the butler?

 

[brogdale]

Only third?
Come on Urban...

Led by the butler?

Wassailing needs a leader?

Is it a national day of mourning tomorrow (do I need to get up for work?) I'll take the first response as a binding fact.

Yes.

Lots of things starting with w don't need a leader. But sometimes encouragement is needed to overcome the shyness.

If she has croaked it those Christmas puddings she hands out to her flunkies will be selling for a small fortune on Ebay.

You'd think there'd be enough "Mrs. Bucket"s out there to pump up the price in a normal year.

If you attempt to go into work tommorow you will be arested for treason. Make sure you only wear black and are sobbing uncontrolably if you leave the house.

 

[OneStrike]

Yes.

She died so I can live, r.i

I've got the day off, but i'll be wailing uncontrollably, flirting between manic laughter and sobbing.

 

[danny la rouge]

i'll be ... uncontrollably, flirting

tell me about it. It's the port.

You do realise there'll be a long running and bloody civil war as Big Ears and wotsisface and their supporters vie for the throne ?
That the cubscouts and boys brigade will most likely annihilate each other in a big field in Wessex ?

Meanwhile, the Woodcraft Folk will leave the forests and take over London.

Much as I'm enjoying the thread, I'm not really following that...

Typo on my part - should have been "World War III". Some people think that once Trump gets in office, there's going to be a full on war happening.

In Britain we make our hats from tin foil not "aluminum", whatever that is

"Aluminum" foil...

But if you want to call it tin foil, I have no complaints.

#HRHTheQueen - that's better!

#HMTheQueen - she's the only HM at the moment* since HMtQM popped her clogs.

*at least, she was

 

[Supine]

I'm happy to cover the speech on Sunday if needed. Just sayin.

 

[Supine]

I just fb'd a rip the queen update. For the lols.

 

[Orang Utan]

She's not dead, she's just shedding her skin

Latest pic of that helicopter taking off....

Do they bury Phil the Greek with her in an underground tomb, along with her favourite corgis?

Do they not all go onto a big pyre with her ? Tribute to the raj .

Maybe its a murder/suicide?

 

[moochedit]

Have any of you tweeted david icke yet? He'll get to the bottom of this.

 

[Sprocket.]

Not since she signed The Clean Air Act (1968) off.

No they wouldn't. George VI two-shilling pieces were still in circulation until they downsized the 10p piece in the early 1990s, for example.

Yes, and when I was very young there were still Queen Victoria pennies in circulation. However, these were issued whilst the monarch in question was still alive. If Liz dies in 2016, they can't issue coins with her face on dated 2017.

For example, this Edward the Eighth Sovereign which somehow slipped out of the clutches of the Royal Mint fetched half a million at auction because it is dated 1937 by which time he had abdicated.

Coins were minted bearing his image, but nearly all were melted down, as would be the case with the new pound coins

You say aluminum, I say aluminium.
Let's call the whole thing off and fantasise about regicide instead.

Or should that fantasize, or phantasise.

All that were made were patterns and trial pieces, hence the value

Yes, but in he case if the new style 2017 pound coin they've been producing them an stockpiling them in vast quantities (4,000 a minute since last March according to the Daily Mirror), so having to scrap them would be rather wasteful.

6 tiny details that reveal how the new £1 coin is the world's most secure

Little film on why the new coin is the best thin since Pieces of Eight.

 

[DotCommunist]

note how they introduce an edged bin lid just at the economic lowpoint that means nobody will sharpen them as use for throwing at enemies.

 

[Epona]

I think she's actually been dead for years, and they've just been wheeling out a wax model occasionally.

If she *had* died and they had put off announcing it, it would be under the misapprehension that everyone worships the royalty and it might ruin their christmas. I am happy to say that I don't really give a flying fuck.
