i suppose that's what happens when you spend too long on the throne.

She's not doing too badly considering her age. 86!

Doonhamer · 3 Mar 2013 at 16:36

I hope she doesn't die before July, I'm off to the garden party at Holyrood.

She can't die now, it's too close to Easter and May's bank holidays. She should at least wait till June or July so we can get a bank holiday for the funeral then.

The headline should read :

Queen sharted, taken to hospital as a precaution.

twist3d0n3 · 3 Mar 2013 at 17:25

do you think she has a gold bedpan?

Nah. Observing that 2011 was because of the wedding and 2012 was because of the Jubilee, this year's extra bank holiday will be from the birth of the newly-wed's child. Due in June IIRC. Ok, date can't be 100% confirmed as a birth can be premature, but it could be fixed around a Christening date can't it?

Speed recovery H M Elizabeth II.

Wonder how much of the hospital was closed for her arrival?

Cosimo · 3 Mar 2013 at 17:30

I hope that her visit is a short one and she comes back home in good health.

I hope Australian Radio Presenters don't ring the hospital

I'd say it wasn't closed, if it was she wouldn't have gone there.

It's different when you're 86 though. Something as routine as a cold or flu can kill you at that age.

Have you ever had gastroenteritis? It really isn't much fun, and I can't imagine it's much better if you're 86 years old.

I hope she's gone private & is paying & not taking a bed away from some poor person of the general public who is suffering due to austerity measures & NHS cut backs?

Not sure if serious......

Should I get takeaway for dinner or should I do the chicken I have in the fridge? I reckon I could scrape together a couple of Kievs with the ingredients lying around.

Sounds like a good way to join her in hospital
