Sir Rols Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Queen graciously sits through Heaven’s excruciating 3-hour opening ceremony Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has politely smiled and clapped through a mind-numbing 3-hour opening ceremony to mark her arrival in the afterlife. The performance – a combination of kitsch cultural references and agonising contemporary dance routines – at times seemed as if it was never going to end. But the Queen respectfully watched the whole thing, not even once glancing down to look at her phone. After the ceremony, the Queen politely thanked those involved, before meeting with the performers. Prince Philip, who was also there, said it was the most boring piece of sh!t he had ever witnessed.

Shame more like - whilst he and his cronies where partying and breaking their own COVID rules, he maj had to sit alone at her husband of over 70 years funeral. That man is nothing but a monster - who plays the fool, but is cunning and as evil as other world dictators. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 ALright, another question: so when do the older Windsor children (Charles, Anne & the 2 brothers -- and all the other older marchers) stop for a drink of water? How come that's never shown? Are they perfect physical specimens that they DON'T need hydration? And all those 8-hour vigils from now until Monday -- and I guess all men, I guess they all have to visit the loo before their 8-hour duties. Don't they get stiff-legged standing there for 8 hours, with their necks bent? Gosh, QE2 is really a tough task-mistress . . . putting her enlisted servicemen to such rigors!!

baron-pierreIV Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) /\/\ Oh, so a royal already fainted before this member of the Archers. So, Gabriella Windsor was the first to faint -- but it doesn't say where or when. Of course, this occasion cannot go on without a drama QUEEN or two displaying his/her stuff!
