I think mikey was making a joke along the lines of Private Eye's 'woman has baby' which appeared at the time that Kate Middleton gave birth to George,

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, he said it was a joke.


Hmmm.

[DTCwordfan]

Private Eye can be very good at these....

When Princess Margaret went, the question was which member of the R-Family was last burnt?

They published a b&w photo of Slough Crem, the chimney saying 'one last smoke' to which the bubble above the building said 'it's what she would have wanted.'

Mikey just got his pitch/timing wrong.....

[mikey4444]

Thanks Jo....thought it was obvious !

[Lie-in King]

It was obvious, just not funny.

[Prudie]

It was obvious, making fun of a death is not in the same league as making fun of a birth. I presume you did it because she had royal connections. I'll remember to post something similar next time you do a RIP thread for someone I've never heard of like that Leon Russell bloke(or whatever his name was???)

[Orderlimit]

Disgusted

[Cloverjo]

This reminds me of of a local paper headline when they must have had a slow day. "Woman, aged 96 dies".

I'm sorry, I'm not laughing about the woman 's death, just the headlines that papers have to fill.

Then to compound the sick op BA is given, as a "get out of jail free card", to woman has baby. He knows not the difference. Truly insensitive and Private Eye he isn't. Jaundiced eyes more like. This thread was generated by an infamous virtue signaller and social conscience claimant. Meehh.

[Baldric]

Well said togo.

[melv16]

Put the op in the tower!:-)

[237SJ]

I`m sorry that to you, she is just an 'old lady' I`m sure there was much more to her than that.

[Togo]

237 He just thinks that there is more to his self. Not right there either.

[DTCwordfan]

Mikey, your way out of this is to write your own epitaph, P_Eye style now....

'Old Kinnockite dyes'.....?

[douglas9401]

While I can't claim to be at the point of apoplexy like some on here, I'm definitely standing here with my arms folded so and tutting, TUTTING I say, at such insensitivity.
Especially on a Sunday!
Is there no limit to your depths, Mikey?


Will this do, comrades?

[237SJ]

Not really Douglas. I admire your flippancy though.

[zebo]

Even if the name is not immediately recognisable, anyone who has seen any of the plethora of programmes about the Queen's Jubilee and birthday over the last couple of years would remember her as a lovely lady who likes to tell behind the scenes stories, some of which were a little indiscreet and all the better for it. Her daughter has a lovely deli in Cley too!

[Jackdaw33]

I don't know if the Queen has any cousins left now on her mother's side. She still has four on her father's side, the Dukes of Gloucester, Kent, Prince Michael and Princess Alexandra.

[mikey4444]

Dougie....what possible difference does it make that its Sunday ?

[Jackdaw33]

I'll leave that one for others to explain.
