Will the Queen die this year?

Now first off, I don't wish it on her. I don't like her heirs. But, considering how everyone is dying this year, might ole Lizzie die?

I hope she doesn't die. She is pimp.

I hope so. Her funeral will be grand, and we'll hear no end of it....

Wait, did I say I hope so? I actually meant I hope not.

I'm anti-death-penalty, but sometimes I do miss the guillotine and how it handled the monarchy...

I don't particularly care about the queen, but I'm not betting on a random person's death. Feeling kinda like a decent, upstanding person today. I'm sure it'll pass.

She's lived this long - odds are she'll last the next 3 1/2 months, which will put us comfortably into next year.

And then we get to have King Charles III. Hopefully he'll do better than the first two British kings named Charles did.

:p

I sincerely hope so, Charles reminds me of Edward II a little at times.

Well, i don't really care, but when she does, the monarchy goes down the toilet. So i suppose as an anti-monarchist i should vote "yes", but she seems lik an inoffensive old biddy (unlike her mother, the evil fascist bitch). So i don't care. I can stand a few more years of them before Charlie sends it tits up.

My guess is she will die soon, but not this year. But I have another matter to discuss -

Listen... you brits don't like the heirs in general, so I have a proposal. Now I have a free bloc of time from about now till 2060 or so - so how about when the Queen, God save her, passes on, I become King. I promise not to get in any sex scandals, get a princess killed, dissolve Parliament, spend extravagently, show up at ANY parties in a Nazi uniform, get drunk all the time or make Britain look bad.

In exchange I'll need the title of King of course, and whatever property comes with that. Especially that pimp-ass carriage.

So, what do you think? Sounds like a sweet deal to me. I can start immediately...

Nice try, but there's probably about 200 million ahead of you in the line of succession.

I believe President Bush is somewhere around 12,000. I know he's very vaguely related anyway. Which is worrying...

Yea, but I'm not talking line of sucession. I mean come on... line of sucession will give you crap. I'm offering GOLD. I'd reconsider if I were you. :p

If she's anything like her mum, she should keep going for a good while yet. I even reckon the Queen Mum would still be alive if it hadn't been for Margaret's death.

I fear you may have to discuss that with Czardas. :p

It handled the masses quite well before - "Celebrate the Red Mass", as it was called.
As for the Queen, well, anyone who has handled that cantakorous bunch of royal brats deserves every erg of life she can get, so I wish her longer life. She's not my ruler, so my preferences are slight.

I was looking at the line of succession (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_Succession_to_the_British_throne) after her and well they have 883 people, including the royal families of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands. Also, if the Spanish were not Catholic. In addition, several Germans, Russians and Greeks are also in the line. It's quite interesting what Victoria did.
