Lizzie's in a Box!

So here will things like money and stamps be changed?

 

It's easy to just forget these things and get on with yer life, but when you think properly about them it's just infuriating. * *.

 

Her and her mother had a real good innings tbf. Amazing what the best health care in the world can do. Look after the old un’s this winter folks, because no * else is going to do it.

 

Would have been better if it was the tune of Living in a box.

 

A very interesting life to say the least. The last remaining head of state to have been a veteran of WW2, could have fled to Canada during our nations darkest hour but stayed and served her country with honour.

She was born into a privileged position, that is undeniable, all of us are privileged to somebody in a worse position than us and none of us choose the circumstances we are born into, did she ever go hungry, no. Did she ever live in poverty? No, but despite this I think she lived a pretty sad life in a golden cage - she escaped all that comes with that once in her life, on VE day when she walked the streets of whitehall without being noticed and its no surprise that this was one of her fondest memories.

Other than that for the rest of her life she was an unfortunate puppet to a plethora of outdated rules and traditions that her family and advisors drilled into her from an early age, she ultimately had no chance to escape her 'duty' and live a normal life. Every interaction she had with other people was with the realisation from both sides that she was the Queen, that must have been difficult psychologically not only to build connections but to also trust people's intentions.
I mean look at how everybody's reacting, they're either worshipping her or making jokes about her, I don't think it's right to do either - she was thrust into a position for 70 years and in the 1000 year history of monarchs she caused remarkable little controversy relative to her predecessors, she managed to keep her ego pretty much in check as best as a King or Queen of a country can, so in terms of how monarchs go, she could have been a lot worse.

 

Not quite the same satisfaction as when Thatcher croaked it, but I'll settle for the point.

 

Very well spoken sir.now top up my brandy and pass me my cuban cigars my old friend

 

Yep, theyre non tender now, Ill give you an address to send all monies to. Ill get rid of them for you.

 

Why are there hundreds of folk standing outside buckingham palace in the pishin rain... why?????

 

Just think of the costs, every coin,bank note, post box, government letter and every single article ,building and embassy around the world with ER on it.
All this for a group off people who have done nothing but cost us time and time again.
The people that peddle the myth that the royal family are loved by the common man are only licking the arses of the royals in the hope of getting some wee tribute like an OBE or a Knighthood

 

Nothing on the telly I suppose

 

Local chipper from a town with a population of about 2500 absolutely *. Posted a video with a bottle of champagne celebrating. Getting 6k views every 5min for a while. now at 120K views, Lynch mob outside it on twitter. Windows since panned in after the video below was taken. Business down the * over the choice to share a 30 second video....going to be a mad few weeks

Should have thought ahead and named the toff Eric…. at least it would save a few quid on the signs and letterheads.

 

A right few fireworks lighting up the sky here in West Belfast anyway

 

Tbf when you’re posting videos on Facebook with champagne and a sign saying liz the lizard is dead or whatever it was, you’re probably going to have to deal with the consequences when the psychos see it.

If you’ve got a business it’s a stupid move.

Both extremes are as bad as each other. I couldn’t care less, a 96 year old woman died and that’s it. I feel nothing.

 

* all on the telly, all the channels have been taken over by the death of this old boot. I want the same when i die.
