Has the Queen died?

[maomao]

There is a 25% chance we won’t be celebrating according to Actuarial rates

Does that mean there's a 75% chance she'll die first?

Best result would be if she popped her clogs a couple of days after for maximum day-offage.

Today it has been confirmed that this time next year we will have a double bank holiday for the Queen’s platinum jubilee, which of course can only be celebrated if she doesn’t die first.

What's meant by a double bank holiday? A new two day bank holiday or tacking an extra day onto an existing bank holiday, presumably a Friday onto one of the May bank holidays?

Lets cut to the chase are we getting one extra day off or two?

 

[Elpenor]

I think it’s Thursday and Friday before the last weekend in May (so no late May Bank Holiday Monday).

Could we rename this thread why hasn't the queen died yet?

Yes, you appear to be right. UK bank holidays

All they've done is moved the late May bank holiday to early June and tacked an extra day onto it. So we are only getting one extra day holiday.

This doesn't work for me, if it had been two extra days I would have no doubt become a born again patriot monarchist. Now its only one extra day she can fucking die in her sleep tonight for all I care.

Now its only one extra day she can fucking die tomorrow for all I care.

we'll probably get some days off for that too

She's going to die on a Friday and then, in a really original twist, rise from the dead on the Sunday.

Protocol dictates 2 for when she snuffs it. Its a win win.

if she times it right we could have a solid 6 day holiday in May/June next year

 

[Teaboy]

If she is a true servant of the nation as she claims to be she will have the decency to die in the second half of next year. Three extra bank holidays is exactly what we need for what will hopefully be a largely post covid world.

A bit OT, but I note that Mayday is referred to as ‘Early May Bank Holiday’ on that page, like the Tories can’t actually call it by the proper name with all its socialist/pagan tradition lest they burst into flames or something, the pathetic fucks.

 

[Elpenor]

I think it’s always been called that?

I don't mean to be thick, but how can you die approximately?

Her husband seemed to be approximately dead for several years

She will live forever

True but I suspect that most places will expected to be shut since the nation will be grieving. She needs to pop off over summer so we can at least have a barbecue

She will live forever

in our hearts, in the ventricle not occupied by Diana.

Just like Boxing Day has always been before Christmas Day, as it will be next year

26 December	Monday	Boxing Day
27 December	Tuesday	Christmas Day (substitute day)

She can no longer wield a sword effectively without assistance from her daughter-in-law, which is a sure sign she is in her twilight years. On this evidence I reckon we can expect a double bank holiday in 2038:

If she's been on the throne 69 years, with two birthdays a year, and is 95 in Earth years, does that mean she's 164 on her own planet?

Her age varies depending on which of her planets you are talking about. Have you never read the Little Prince?
