Re: The Queen
Dunno, my granny was pretty frail by 96, needed to go everywhere in a wheelchair and got dementia, but still made it to over 100.
Not sure how much it's fair to expect from somebody that old. She's 30 years past retirement age ffs. If I were her I'd happily just sit around in a mansion under a blanket drinking gin. I'd happily do that anyway, tbh.

I wonder what the queen's favourite crisps are? Can't say I've ever spotted one of those "by appointment" thingies on a bag of quavers.

I can’t see any crisp-related Royal Warrant holders , unless one counts Waitrose. HM appears to be (or have been) more of a chocolate kind of a woman.

Presumably the queen could just get some lackey to cook up a batch of hot, fresh crisps on demand. Possibly in an air fryer, though that c.nt tom p never got back to us about it.

- family now assembled

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Good news. The sooner we move on the better. f.ck knows what the cultural implications will be but we might as well get on with it.

What happened to that crook Johnson’s resignation honours? I thought he was going to go out with his pay backs. Mad Nads to the Lords, knighthoods to wallpaper suppliers, and that sort of thing?
I assume that can't happen now?

Re: The Queen
I've been off the booze lately because I got bored of it and it costs money but this seems as good a time as any to get stuck in. (I haven't yet by the way, this is still normal me)
