And congrats on 90 years!
(I hope I am that fit at 90)
Get up off your knees serf!
The sooner we take the French approach to royalty, the better....

If you can guarantee a stress-free existence with the absolute best of everything and an army of attendants seeing to your every need at the tax payers expense then you will increase your chances immeasurably.
Has she brought cakes in?

Though not an absolute pre-req as my 95 yr old neighbour living in a council house just round the corner from me proves!

As long as there not bloody cupcakes...!
I understand the tax burden argument and have no idea if the following is true, but I'd imagine that every penny spent is earned back multiple times over in tourist/media revenue. Not to mention the vast sums raised for charity by the royal family. If nothing else, they serve as a living Tussauds type cash cow.
I'm hardly pro Royal, but I think calling for their heads is a little far fetched.
Regardless of treatment, the old bird is doing incredibly well for 90.
Happy Birthday to all, especially public servants like Mrs Saxo-Coburg-Gotha. ( or whatever)
Enough of this royal wheeze now though and no we are going to fight for you and stuff.

Oh god not this again
My kids are going to school in red, white and blue today to celebrate the queens birthday. They were well excited about it. So for that reason, Happy Birthday Ma'am!

when they are no longer useful to our cause, we take them to Paris and murder them?
I thought we already did that?
Happy Birthday Ma'am ....you're a Star!

Apparently she is grooming her son to succeed her, with the support of senior state clerics.
Yes, well done. You've done a fantastic job.

Not a Royalist, but you can't deny Liz has put one hell of a shift in.
Remarkable individual.

Vive la République !
90 and still working. She must have the same pension plan I do.

All the more remarkable for an inbred. Gawd bless 'er
90 and still working. She must have the same pension plan I do.
Could be. Did you get your job via a hereditary process? Or did you have to demonstrate aptitude at some point?
She must have the same pension plan I do
Yes the poor wee lamb is really struggling to make ends meet
I am not sure what she has done is a job - its more a sycophantic fawning lifestyle
Interesting to see those who are sucked in by her "majesty".
Your choice.

90 and still working.
Working. Yeah, right. Working.
If she's got all this money, why doesn't she spend of it on worthy causes? why sit on a vast fortune? many people are suffering every day, many desperate and homeless in the world, if you care about the people then show it.
did you have to demonstrate aptitude at some point?
Not so far - no. 😀
Edukator - some photo!!!
As every PM who has served her notes, she hardly works at all....no really. : wink:
Love the H8!!!!!
Quick spin round swinley, back to Windsor for a bit of cake and a glass of chilled retsina with good old Phil. What a day ahead....
Working. Yeah, right. Working.
Those corgis don't feed themselves you know.
Forelock tuggers be tuggin'.
Love the H8!!!!!
You would not have started the thread but for this

Wasn't She and Uncle Phil off [url= http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/in-pictures-the-queen-visits-windsor-delivery-office-on-the-eve-of-her-90th-birthday-a3229731.html ]visiting a Royal Mail delivery office yesterday[/url]?
Okay it may not be the back-breaking manual labour we all have planned for our 90s, but it is still a day on her feet, flirting with postal workers, and trying to fake an interested smile for hours on end as people show you some stamps.

Such obsequiousness!
Binners has nailed it .
We need to get shot of these parasites once and for all .
Vive La Republique !!

There is an outside chance our esteemed Monarch and Defender of the Faith will survive longer than the Guardian.

I wonder if she can tell me what happened to my Amazon order.

Just to be clear, by overwhelmingly jambalaya means 54.87% in favour.

45 v 55 is not quite overwhelming.
It would have been if they had won 😉
Not sure about the Union Jack bunting all around the blue trail at Swinley - as nice as it is that the Crown Estate allows us to ride there for free, this might be going too far, birthday or no birthday.

Interesting that the Queen is involved in weekly meetings of the Joint Intelligence Committee, [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Relationship ]which also attended by the Local head of the CIA[/url]:
This agreement brought together the SIGINT organizations of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and is still in place today (see: Five Eyes). The head of the CIA station in London attends each weekly meeting of the British Joint Intelligence Committee
Makes you wonder on whose behalf Special Branch and the intelligence services were keeping files on Prominent people abusing children, then intervening in police investigations... why was it Jimmy Savile was so well protected?

Aside from that, imagine all the secrets she has tucked away from her myriad dominions...
Being as she is head of state of many various countries and territories, how many other leaders is she in regular contact with?

Must be feeling the heat a bit after the Panama Papers mind, what with presiding over more tax havens than anyone else on Earth
