That entirely depends on your employer. In most cases, I'd imagine none.

As long as the premaires of Iron Fist-Punisher and Defenders aren't pushed back they can push it all they want.

Exactly. Most are miserable shits.

I really don't want the Queen to die.

I see people on here asking this quite a bit, and a thread in the showbiz forum where someone is predicting her death on New years eve!

all the money with her head on it will be nulled and voided, anyone hoarding lots of cash is in for a shock

Yeah, I keep getting it recommended to me even though I have absolutely no interest in the monarchy.

Just printed all those new Fivers to.

When are the new £10 notes out will she be on them as it will be a waste to do any if she pops off just after.

I hope she dies one day, she will get really bored if she lives forever, she will even start hating horse racing

To be fair, it does become a greater certainty with every passing year, so if you're the type of person who wants to pretend they can predict the future then it's definitely a good idea to pick things with a higher probability of happening, like old people dying.

Suppose the "rare" ones with old Lizzy on will be going on Ebay and FB selling sites.

New £1 coin coming in March to is it worth putting it out.

I'm going to predict that Charles goes before his mum.

You saw it here first.

By the way, if the police are looking at this afterwards I had nothing to do with it.

Charles kicking the bucket the night before his coronation would be amusing, I am sure he would see the funny side

TBH I think one reason she's hanging on (To the Crown not life) is she just doesn't trust Charlie with the role.


Also if I was her I wouldn't be eating any breakfast he cooked especially if it had mushrooms from his own garden in it.

The shock of finally getting it could very well do him in.

If I were his son I'd be pointing out that he's already past the retirement age. He could always use the austerity excuse and say the country just can't afford to have two coronations within a decade or so of each other .

I think we should just hand it to the chavvy George, he would get a chance to break the Queens record, and it would be great to have a child King, imagine the Kings speech and him moaning Father christmas didn't get him enough stuff ?

Isn't Charles planning on being crowned as George or maybe Shirley? The name Charles doesn't have a great history as far as British kings are concerned.

Can't say I would care particularly. Never met her, don't know her, means nothing to me.

That would mean CNBC and Bloomberg would have to black out their UK feed, but would probably continue on as normal for the rest of Europe. I guess they would just show continuous US programming or maybe have someone in the studios for reports for Europe. I'm in Ireland so her death might not have the same effect as it would in the UK (in that business and education would continue on as normal - I was doing exams the day of William and Kate's wedding) and shops will remain open but I guess a lot of people would be shocked and maybe upset. It's hard to know really.

There will be people on this forum wondering why anybody is grieving for someone they don't know personally. That much is totally predictable.

I hope they don't expect shops to close and the country to grind to a halt. It's the modern day, there is no need for that kind of thing. My workplace won't close down, so I don't see why a shop should, if people are too sad to shop then it's them who shouldn't bother going shopping, but some of us still need to eat, we can't all survive on grief porn and a 25 part Daily Mail pullout about her life. I just hope the country doesn't go fully mental like they did when Diana died. It's the fakeness and all the crap about "the nation is in mourning" and "she had great respect from the entire nation" and "the whole country needs to pay their respects" that I can't stand. It's the assumption we all have to somehow care and acknowledge the event.

When she dies, I'll do the same thing I do every day. Go to work, come home, eat, watch TV (unless it's all pointlessly cancelled-you can't force people to be sad) and then go to bed. I may even leave the country for a week or so to miss out the initial tidal wave of tears which will practically flow out of the media.

If what has happened in the past is anything to go by, in the immediate aftermath of an announcement, hundreds of copies of a manual that few know of, but has been ready for decades but constantly updated, will be distributed to all parties that have any part to play in the funeral arrangements.
This manual outlines in great detail every facet of the procedures involved in the death of a sovereign from the moment she dies to after her interment in Frogmore.
Previously, military motor-cycle dispatch riders have been tasked with the job of getting the copies to the intended recipients but I would wonder if there are enough couriers for the task, these days
