i guess those were the only two people on the seats outside the castle on Breakfast this morning...
(i did wonder about the security of windsor castle this morning when i saw it - there's nothing but a lawn between the road and the castle. then i realised IT'S A CASTLE, how much more secure do you get?)

Theresa May's dad was one of them Anglo-Catholic freaks which might explain a lot. I once worked on the Anglican Monastery were he trained. The monks there were absolutely loaded and much freakier than any priests I've ever met, and that is saying something.

My friend is one of the lay staff of St Paul’s Cathedral and she goes to Mirfield every year for what she calls ‘an STFU retreat’ - she is very High Church.

she goes to the Community of the Resurrection? it's a beautiful building and they spent a fortune on the refurb. The granite fonts they had installed must have cost a small fortune, looked pretty cool though.

I’m sure that’s the place but I’ve never heard it called anything but ‘Mirfield’.

QEII died of old age: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/29/queen-elizabeth-died-of-old-age-death-certificate-says
― StanM, Friday, 30 September 2022 01:03 (one year ago) link
Nobody dies of 'old age', though. No commoner ever has that on their death certificate. My father who died at the age of 83 had about four different things. Even in death, QE2 ends up hiding stuff from those of us who were her subjects, even though the thing that is being hidden is probably completely innocuous, like heart failure or whatever.
And in a way it could really backfire, as now, out will come the conspiracy theorists - "She was murdered!" "She's still alive!" She really is a 9ft lizard!" Take your pick.
Meanwhile, the world's only reigning queen (there are, of course, quite a few consorts) Denmark's Queen Margrethe II, has announced she is stripping four of her grandkids of the title Prince or Princess. It's not all smelling of roses in Scandi-land right now, with several governments lurching to the right in this mainstay of social democracy, most notably Sweden. But clearly, it's not all rotten in the state of Denmark, as the monarchy there demonstrates (once again, for those paying attention) that it is possible to keep a monarchy and do it in a better way than the UK.

the pick i take is that she's still alive (bcz she is)
it isn't a conspiracy theory if it's true

Wait, it's not that drastic. They are all kids of the youngest child. The son and heir, Crown Prince Frederik, and his four children, Christian (born 15 October 2005), Isabella (born 21 April 2007) and twins Vincent and Josephine (born 8 January 2011), are unaffected by the change.
It contrasts with here, when even when one prince is a philanderer and paedophile and another says he doesn't want to do the duties anymore, goes to his wife's country "in search of privacy" and yet we hear more about him and his missus than ever before, *they* don't get stripped of their titles. Possibly Chuck will revisit this, I mean, why shouldn't they be Mr Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Mr Harry Mountbatten-Windsor, respectively? What's he got to lose by doing that? But I have heard no rumours to that effect.

Could be a Scottish thing. My mother's death certificate said frailty and old age, iirc.

Guardian link has this:
Old age is acceptable if the doctor certifying death has cared for the patient for a long time, was not aware of any disease or injury that contributed to death and had observed a gradual decline in the person’s general health and functioning.
― StanM, Friday, 30 September 2022 11:21 (one year ago) link
they can only put human illnesses on death certificates afaik
― link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 30 September 2022 11:24 (one year ago) link
"failed the ultimate test" as defined by Dr Richard Pryor. I suppose putting common illnesses on the death certificate wasn't considered appropriate for a monarch.
