The Queen

Re: The Queen

It is one of the reasons god save the queen is such a bad anthem.

It is basically a song asking an imaginary friend to keep an old lady alive! I am sure the queen is lovely and don't wish ill on her, but if I had to list in order people I don't want to die, she would be considerably down the list when compared to family, friends, loved ones, scientists, doctors, etc.

I suppose once upon a time, when a monarch died, there would often be various competing parties trying to be the next in power - which could sometimes lead to us ordinary folk getting caught in their machinations, so there may have been good reason to hope the reigning monarch kept on clinging on.

On the downside, we'll be unable to watch anything on tv other than funeral coverage, and endless interviews of people who knew her..or met her... or saw her once when she was driven past some obscure village..

Dont watch it.

Re: The Queen

Dont watch it.

When the Duke of Ed died, the BBC hijacked Radio stations 1 to 5 and simultaneously broadcast the identical hours-long eulogy on each of the stations. That was very much OTT and this Taunton-based 'gammon' wrote in to the broadcasting organisation (that I actually have a lot of respect for). It's fair enough that some people want to consume that stuff but there are millions who are ambivalent, old fruit :-)

Philip is dead?
I must have kept flicking channels
I don't think Absolute radio have a news department.
I would have caught up watching the The Crown.
Netflix somehow manage to make the royal family interesting.

When she dies we will all get a day off work.

I am predicting she departs this mortal coil on December 24th purely out of spite. Selfish.

Will her Christmas day message to the Empire still be shown at 3pm? I reckon she's already recorded it just in case.

She'll die on November 11th and certain elements of the country will go into meltdown
