Toast 16,129 Posted December 24, 2016 "Queen's Granddaughter has lost her baby" - http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/queens-granddaughter-mike-tindall-lost-12368726 You have to read down through the article a bit to discover the baby hadn't actually been born yet. Still, what does losing an expected great grandchild do for a 90-something? The phrase "losing the baby" in this context usually implies miscarriage. Devastating for the parents especially the mother, but less so for relatives. Sad of course, but not like grieving for a child you have actually seen and held. Or perhaps I'm just a hard-hearted bitch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted December 24, 2016 Well, both Lady FN and myself have not had an invite to Sandringham for drinkies, even though we are a 10 min brisk drive away. If I find out that we, the taxpayers, paid for their helicopter journey, I will personally go up there and do a shit on their lawn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted December 25, 2016 If it was that serious, she wouldn't have gone to Sandringham in the first place. She went by helicopter, virtually unheard of as they always take the train. She will have a place that's preferable for her to die, her father died at Sandringham. She is 90, she has a 'heavy cold' she has decided to relinquish her many many patron roles. Phil will possibly out live her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,129 Posted December 25, 2016 Her lifelong best friend has just died too. She's probably feeling a bit crap, to say the least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,436 Posted December 25, 2016 It's a ploy. The annual Deathlist 50 are read by the Queen every January 1st (she compares it to her DDP team), and she's been getting pissed off at not being there, clearly.

Sean 6,310 Posted December 25, 2016 As. Toast said a heavy cold can affect anyone badly.I dont think there is much to be concerned about.My 62 year old Dad cancelled all his plans for two weeks when he had a cold this month and he isnt one to do that lightly.He is fine now.

I know he was a president, but is he really deathlisty? Well, he's on history books as the most important Portuguese politician of the last 40 years. He is considered a legend in Portugal and his death would get obits from all the world. But he'll die before New Year's Eve, so no problem here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Between that and the old folks home on the other side blaring out Mantovani and James Last records in the early hours of the afternoon, it's a wonder I got any sleep. They would only ring the bells that early for Christmas Day. Any regular Sunday service it was about 9am, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
