Hmm. "The monarch has also continued to enjoy her late-night television pastime, particularly at the weekends, and reportedly stayed up to watch 18-year-old tennis star Emma Raducanu win the US Open. " The Queen famously certainly used to find tennis boring, the 1977 Wimbledon Championships were a particular chore of the Silver Jubilee engagements, so I'd take that with a pinch of salt. I think she'll see 100, but I'm probably going to be adding her to my teams from 2022 onwards. I have a funny feeling both her and David Attenborough will go around the same time, which will be a huge blow to public morale and everything we hold sacred. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miranda lass 105 Posted November 1, 2021 Any person will eventually die so it would be too easy to say right umm they'll go on my list every year. On my list this year but deffo not on another one until 2023 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,615 Posted November 1, 2021 I think we are extrapolating from a very poor data set. However the fact that this is the most active thread at the moment means that in terms of interest and public recognition her "fame" test outstrips her "ill" test. I think she will survive 2022 and probably won't add her to my personal shadow list unless there is a lot of people who will die between now and the New Year but I now think she is a permanent fixture on the main list until her demise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,356 Posted November 1, 2021 Long time royal author and royal commentator on YouTube Lady Colin Campbell seems to strongly hint that the Queens health issue is something of an embarrassing nature ie toilet related and not a health matter serious enough to cause alarm. It is the first topic discussed in the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the enema will still deliver some success and surprises including on the deathlist but I think most of its energy this year will be in the direction of a record number of hits on the Derby Dead Pool.....

I suppose to highlight the positives the hotel and hospitality trade in Glasgow will be booming for the next two weeks and feel like a god sent after the past 18 months. I have previously stayed in one of the Hilton hotels, The Crowne Plaza, The Malmaison and a bed and breakfast near the Mackintosh art school. I reckon there's a good chance that at least one world leader or media news bigwig is sleeping on a mattress tonight that my backside has slept on! What a thought! Oh I'm not sure how similar the tales we would have to tell about our time in the hotel bedroom would be .. .but thats another story..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
