Pwned Berusconi

Into the poorhouse. Oh wait.

Palace officials have complained that they lack funds to properly maintain some royal residences. They once claimed that part of the facade of Buckingham Palace was in such bad repair that a chunk fell off, narrowly missing Princess Anne.

two words: REALITY TELEVISION

Name/theme song of the show?

UK Big Brother is currently in progress and suffering poor ratings - kill two birds with one stone and bung the whole family in there.

Oi Nedley, you need to ask?

I mean, it's not like they haven't been involved in similar japery in the past...

surely it can't be THAT hard to monetize being the royal family

I mean even apart from the fact that they're all well-educated and wholly employable

Can you imagine a recruitment being condescending to Prince Charles because he doesn't have up to date IT skills?

Haha, I remember that. Why didn't Rowan Atkinson go into Blackadder mode...

"Prince, you're getting a Dell!"

I would pay Liz W. to train my dog.

I'd employ the Duke of Edinburgh as a supermarket security guard.

He's already got a jacket with a bit of gold braid/piping on it.

Can't deny I derived LOLz from this

Some LOLz but nothing substantial

I like the queen, she rules.

Some LOLz also.

On September 9th Queen Elizabeth will break the record held by her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, and become Britain’s longest-ruling monarch.

Elizabeth only became queen due to a quirk of history after her uncle Edward VIII abdicated because of his love for American divorcee Wallis Simpson and Nazis

she aint goin'

I attend this charity trivia contest every year with a team of eight people. Questions cover everything.

I thought the best one last night was "Name the only president who did not meet face-to-face with the Queen." (During her reign, obviously--Abraham Lincoln wouldn't count.) We missed it.

rip

LBJ (xpost)

xpost So weird, I went to a charity trivia night last night, too, and we also had a QE2 question ... only it was about the boat! Turns out it is currently being used as a floating hotel in Dubai. Who knew? (Not us.)

Synchronicity...Stan has mine right. We guessed Nixon. LBJ made sense when I thought about it afterwards--post-assassination year, campaign, massive legislative drive, then he spends the last couple of years immobilized by Vietnam and unpopularity.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s monarch for the past 70 years, has died aged 96 https://t.co/nuFdc3PV49

deid

It's true, the BBC talking about the King and the Queen Consort is weird.

ok the monarchy was fun for a while (was it?) but it's time to pack it in

it's one thing when a doddering old lady is the national mascot but when it's a 70+-year-old bat-eared divorcee, it might be more accurate, but less inspiring

at least she got to watch herself portrayed in a TV show

Louis XIV still the champ!!!

(xp) By Oscar winner Olivia Colman too.

Morrissey heard shouting the words, "Ka-Ching!" and pumping his arms.

I'd rather he'd died than the Queen tbh.

bless her, she learnt the importance of being strictly politically neutral at an early age.

Oh well QE II virtually same age as my Mother; glad she (Q) made it a couple years longer & still on the job earlier this week, never mind carry on.

xpost yeah seemed to mostly make the best or the okay of being born into weirdass situation.

here comes charlie big ears to clear the room

she just wanted to live long enough to see Boris back on the dole
