    Yes, but they all went on the wrong side... Congratulations on your 500th post Lady G! Two special ladies celebrating a significant milestone on the same day.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Not where I live, we're saving that for when she dies I really am surprised Lady G. I had no idea that you were such a big fan of Charles...(The Queen is dead, God save the King) and all that)). 71% of the British population want the monarchy to continue after her death. As long as the Union survives, that means Scotland as well. Windsor, 'you rotten swine you' You know I hate Charlie, and can't stand the thought of him being king, God if it means keeping Brenda alive till she's 150 I am all for it, the 71% is a straw pole drawn from regions (perhaps the Scottish one may be Aberdeenshire? where she has a home that employs a lot of the locals, without Balmoral they would be adding to the dole queue, I can't imagine any votes were drawn from Glasgow, were they W?) you should come to Clydebank and do your own straw poll, we will be happy to put you up and help you out as you ask the locals their opinions of the RF, I'm sure it would differ from yours, plus we will supply, food, water, alcohol and first aid as required I believe there was only one vote from Scotland and...yes...it appears to be from my house. They were trying for 100% but some of the Aristocracy got a bit confused over the question... Me - in Clydebank - I wouldn't last 5 minutes. People in Aberdeenshire find it hard to stomach me. I'd be the first to admit that the monarchy would be ousted if there was a referendum for Scotland only. I could lean towards scare-mongering and utter that dreaded phrase. "President Blair and the First Lady Cherie". I wouldn't dare to say 'President Thatcher', that would be suicide.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Fern Britton (or what ever she calls herself) from 'This Morning' thought she'd cramp my style and rattle off those very facts. Except she claimed George III and Queen Victoria died aged 82 when, infact, they were only 81 but in their 82 year. (Some of my dates may be a bit off because I didn't count the days). DDT - The King of Samoa is the world's oldest living monarch but has only been on the throne since the 60's (1962 I think). So the Queen will still be the worlds longest reigning living monarch when the King of Thailand dies. He celebrates his Diamond Jubilee this year.

    Long Life

    I don't think this is the article you were thinking of, http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/1/hi/health/2036002.stm But even so it is quite interesting. Oh well, thats me screwed. The oldest member of my bloodline managed to live to 83 - that was in 1904. After that they started dying younger and younger - hope its not a trend...

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Ten years at the very least. Anyway - a time table of events: -2007: The Queen will become the oldest reigning monarch in British history. -2008: Prince Charles turns 60. -2011: The Duke of Edinburgh will turn 90 (if he doesn't fall off his carriage). -2012: The Queen will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. -2016: The Queen will become the longest reigning monarch in British hisory. -2016: The Queen will turn 90. Whenever the King of Thailand dies, she will become the worlds longest reigning living monarch. I bet you feel a whole lot better knowing that...

    'A Tower of London Spokesperson commented, ''Before the visit we were advised to reinforce the glass and are rather glad we did''. The Prince of Wales left the tower in a stretcher knocked out, with a broken nose after attempting to make a grab for the crown'.

    When Deathlisters Go Shopping

    Which remeinds me, I was out doing actual shopping today at Argos. The reason I tell you is that something rather odd happened in the shop. I was waiting in line to pay for my goods and was listening to the person being served infront of me. Get this, they didn't want to buy the item, but just see it. Bloody Eastern Europeans. It wouldn't be so bad but as I went to collect my item I noticed that everybody else had their items out the boxes to look before they bought. Is this normal. Does everybody do this at Argos? Personally I just look at the catalogue image.

    Not Totally Off Topic... (?)

    This reminds me of Fraserburgh's own Chinese Scandal. One of the Chinese carryout places were serving sea gull in place of chicken and goose. Yummy. Beebee, how were their spare ribs? Large?

    Princess Diana

    Shame really. We were getting on so well. Well, it's rather strongly worded, but there's nothing actually incorrect about it. Except maybe the maggots if the coffin has a lead lining, and anyway she was embalmed so who knows what condition she's in. Have you been given any warnings about it? Not yet - although Geraldine is probably on my side as the Diana fans will not let the subject go. Everybody is getting fed up with the Charles/Diana/Camilla relationship and so I spoke out. Last night someone commented on how Diana was looking down on Harry from heaven during his 'passing out' parade. So I suggested that for being an adulterer like Camilla, she must surely be burning in hell. I haven't checked my email since...

    You mean like the one who tried to sign you up at the Royal Forums nice and stealthily by giving your occupation as "male prostitute"? No - that was my friend who is currently studying at Edinburgh University...one of the brighter ones. No comment.

    Congratulations on your 2000th post, and congratulations on your first deathlist anniversary. I have a feeling that the 9th of April 2005 will stick in my mind for the rest of my life.

    What Are You Doing For Easter

    I would imagine that I'll be getting round to writing the essays I've been going to do for two weeks now.

    Maybe one day it will. The days of the Knight and Dame are comming to end along with the racist Order of the British Empire. This falls in both categories and thus may be out of production soon enough. So hopefully it will work well as an investment. A wise idea Windsor, I really hope it works out for you, don't forget your fellow DL'rs when it pays off ! My Mum has kept 2 commemorative magazines/newspapers (well the equivalent off, I supose they would be the 'Hello' of their day) celebrating Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and her Death that she found in my great grandparents house when she had to empty it after my great aunts death 10 years ago, they are in pristine condition having been kept in a wardrobe for 90 years, we have often wondered if they would be worth anything, but I reckon the secret royalist in her stops her selling them! She also has some china celebrating Edward VIII's coronation which never happened, but I guess that may be very common. This was the same house that when they emptied the attic during WW2 (it was in London) they found it full of Mills Bombs that my Great Grandmothers younger brothers had brought back during WWI, a veritable arsenal in the middle of Wood Green. If they are in good condition there's a good chance the Victorian magazines may be worth something. As it goes, over on the unofficial Royal Forums some guy treasures a Queen Victoria 1901 newspaper (I think he framed it). By his own admission, it was falling apart. Speak to him and I'm sure you'll be quids in. Edward VIII coronation stuff sells because of the novelty. It's not unlike last years gimmick for the 8th April wedding that never happend. The value of these pieces will depend on the maker name at the bottom of the item. If you get a felt tip pen and write 'Abdicated 11th December 1936', it will treble in value as an Abdication piece (some factories literally did that in 1936 (but not felt tip)). Deathware's for Edward are also popular. I treasure my bright pink mourning plate. I find all old royal 'tat' facinating (and no I'm not reffering to the Queen).
