One even claims it goes back to antiquity and Rome. Is this one if those origins that sounds like it should be right but is in fact apocryphal perhaps? Either way, the credit still lies with you.

Bentrovato 1,088 Posted December 24, 2020 If this turns out to be even halfway realistic then we will never be told if she dies. They will just roll out TV reports with the deepfake version meeting the plebs. No point in putting her or her hubby on the deathlist.

Toast 16,144 Posted December 24, 2020 2 minutes ago, One shot Paddy said: Oh, it'll be all how marvellous all the key workers have been, and praising the NHS (she won't know how shit our local GP practice has been with its disappearing doctors and refusal to join in the vaccination programme). But quite rightly she will praise our scientists and there is a lot to be proud of on that side of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 25, 2020 I watched the speech from my queen (temporarily), and I have no opinions other than she looks good for her age and has no business on the 2021 DP. She won’t be on any of mine. Prince Philip OTOH... SCunto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
