Did you all get sick eating Easter Eggs or something, surprised no-one
has mentioned the news event of the weekend...

<forwarded from somewhere else>

>LONDON. 30/03/2002

>The British government has announced the death in combat of Elizabeth Bowes
>Lyon, mother of Her Majesty the Queen and crack commando in The War Against
>Terrorism. Bowes Lyon had been in the forefront of the battle in the remote
>Ooga Booga mountains of Afghanistan when she died in controversial
>circumstances. The official wall of silence was finally broken by a
>Pentagon spokesman who admitted that 'a M1287-B Raghead seeking missile'
>had 'undergone a sudden decomfractitude' and impacted on the mother of the
>present sovereign. The US military cannot explain the incident, but did
>stress the difficulty of distinguishing between 'one privileged
>multimillionaire who hasn't been seen since late last year and another'. A
>number of servants were also killed in the alcohol-fueled conflagration
>which could be seen from Karachi.

>A LIFE OF ACTION
>Bowes Lyon had a long and distinguished military career, mostly undertaken
>in secrecy and flowing chintz with matching hats. She was responsible for
>the surrender of the South African Boers in 1902 and personally escorted
>the Kaiser into exile in 1918. With peace she sought new challenges,
>beginning a career as a stunt Zeppelin pilot between the wars. This skill
>came in useful when leading the RAF's thousand bomber raid on Hamburg in
>1943. Bowes Lyon had sworn to destroy Hitler after an exploding V2 slightly
>chipped a Ming vase belonging to Queen Mary.

>Postwar, she settled down into retirement, but continued to undertake
>hazardous missions, including the siege of the Iranian embassy. It can now
>be revealed that Bowes Lyon led the assault on the terrorists; knocking on
>the door and calling out 'Cooee! I just popped over for some tonic water'
>before shooting three men dead.

>Bowes Lyon was commander in chief of approximately half of the British
>Army's regiments. Her death leaves a considerable gap in the organisation.
>'Finding someone with the appropriate right-wing, out-dated views at short
>notice is going to be tricky,' admitted the MoD, 'but we understand Jim
>Davidson is leaving 'The Generation Game'.

>A NATION IN SHOCK
>Already the death of Bowes Lyon has led to the calls for Martyrs Brigades.
>Hundreds of elderly women in ill-fitting, drip dry clothes are gathering in
>London professing to be willing to follow their leader to Paradise. Mrs
>Edith Deathwatchbeetle spoke for many when she gave an oath to go on and on
>about The Blitz until her family put her in a home. Police are already
>reporting outbreaks of powdered egg recollection in retirement homes across
>the South East.

>The Royal Jubilee was already looking like a bit of a non-event with the
>death of Princess Margaret and the World Cup, this can only add to the
>strain. However special black bunting is already being imported and the
>government is expected to issue compulsory street party cards within a week.

>The recent influx of immigrants through the Channel Tunnel has been
>reversed as millions of Britons make a desperate break for a country where
>they can't understand the news. Eurotunnel is so busy that it is having to
>fit turnstiles to the Folkstone end of the Channel Tunnel.

>Following a vote in Cabinet, the ITV woolly monkey has been made the
>official loveable symbol of Britain. The monkey will have the same birthday
>as the late Queen Mother which means that the news will have something to
>report in August. No place was found for Johnny Vegas who will remain as
>John Prescott's stunt double.

>Amongst the sadness, faith provides some comfort; workers are quietly
>praying that the funeral will get them half a day off work.

>'SHOCKED'
>Naturally politicians can't keep their mouths shut at a time like this.
>President Tony Blair made the following dignified, yet strangely trite
>statement. 'She was in a very real sense the nation's Queen Mother and it
>is her lasting testament that the nation follows in her footsteps. Today,
>the average Briton drinks more, gambles more and owes more than ever before
>- - this is how we should remember her.' Pausing to make a very photogenic
>swallow, Blair continued, 'we should remember that without the Queen Mother
>there would be no peace in the Middle East, which is why I say to Prime
>Minister Sharon and Chairman Arafat - what would Elizabeth Bowes Lyon do?

>'As part of the nation's commemoration of a dearly departed royal I am
>proud to announce that the War Against Terror has been re branded as the
>Queen Mother Memorial Thermonuclear Holocaust - there could be no fitter
>way of remembering her contribution to public life than a few thousand dead
>Iraqis.'

>Blair mustered the nation, 'we are British and there is nothing the British
>do better than self-indulgent synthetic grief.' Already informed
>commentators are speculating that Britain could reclaim the title of most
>self-pitying country in the World. Their hold on the title was only
>reinforced with the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, but it was awarded
>to the Americans following the events of September 11th. It is hoped that
>sufficient footage of weeping children could snatch the title, but the
>Americans are expected to hold on after announcing that a white kitten, Mr
>Sniggles, was killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center.

>Iain Duncan Wossisname, leader of the Conservative Party was 'shocked'.
>Speaking from his top secret lair under Smith Square he said 'This is a
>bolt from the blue! How many of us expect a hundred and one year old lady
>to just drop dead? This is clearly the fault of Steven Byers and the
>incompetence of the present government.'

>Crowds gathered outside the home of Margaret Thatcher. After her
>announcement that she was giving up speaking on health grounds, thousands
>were hoping for her to say a few words. 'We live in hope,' was a common
>sentiment.

>WORLD RESPONSE
>The sadness has spread from Britain. President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe
>has already said that his days of being a fascistic tyrant are over. 'I
>will devote my life to big flowery hats and strong liquor' he told his
>ruined nation. African leaders are hopeful that Mugabe could reinvent
>himself as a much-loved national figure despite his past: it worked for the
>Queen Mother.

>In America, President George Bush gave up trying to do up his tie to
>declare, 'I was choked when I heard the news, but that was just a pretzel.
>America has no truer friend than Tony Blair and we share the grief of
>Englandistanis everywhere. I am therefore pleased to say that we will be
>commemorating a great figure when we unveil the Fylingdales Queen Mother
>Memorial X-Band Radar Death Ray Missile Intercept Station.' Americans
>formed long queues to sign books of remembrance

>'DELIGHTED'
>'This is fabulous news,' said the head of BBC programming. 'Just yesterday
>I saw we had fuck all on over the bank holiday weekend and I knew I'd have
>to resign. Now this - naturally we're delighted.' Also 'delighted' was
>Jenny Bond, royal correspondent who had been missing from the air for some
>time. Royal Correspondent Watchers say that Jenny will be unmissable for
>the next few months, 'no matter how hard you try.'

>As always in times of crisis the nation turns to the BBC and the
>corporation is keen to show its commitment to serious, informed journalism.
>'We have Dale Winton, Barbara Windsor, Vanessa Feltz and the tall one off
>'Birds of a Feather'' confided the head of BBC1. 'Trust me, Diana's do was
>nothing compared to this!'

>The mournathon kicked off within moments of the official announcement from
>Buckingham Palace as the BBC weather presenters wowed the nation with a
>heartfelt rendition of Mozart's Requiem. Donations to the fund to pay off
>the Queen Mother's overdraft have soared in the last few hours. The BBC is
>showing the mournathon on all channels until everyone has at least given a
>tenner. The name of the show remains controversial with some commentators
>saying that 'The Queen Mum on Ice' is in poor taste.

>Media commentators are less sure of the prospects, pointing out that the
>BBC's recent coverage of Princess Margaret was not a ratings winner. The
>BBC remains bullish, 'This is the big one!' squealed a factual programming
>editor, 'I smell BAFTAs all round for this one. Especially if we can get
>pictures of one of them crying.' Sky is quietly confident that its
>multi-angle digital coverage will attract loyal audiences, whilst Channel 5
>will have a film with Chuck Norris.

>NEWSPAPERS
>Tomorrow's Mirror has been printed in black ink on black paper. When asked
>if this will cause some readability problems the editor said, 'Most of our
>buyers can't read and those that can wouldn't be able to read the words
>through their tears.' The Murdoch papers have gone big on the story with
>the Sunday Times coming in 17 volumes, a glossy coffee table book, CD-ROM
>and commemorative 'Innovations' catalogue. Naturally the Mail is open about
>its feelings with the headline 'WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO LIVE FOR?'. The paper
>is also running a competition to win a cloned Queen Mother.

"11/09- Taking his time, George W. Bush formulates a measured
response - which turns out to be the most expensive bollocking
ever unleashed against shepherds." Chris Morris
Is there another word for synonym?

I thought it already was.

Mind you the company it advertised died recently as well.

Amusing though the post was, I think it undoes itself, as
it was by far the most about the death of the old dear on any
medium that I have endured.

No Mark and Lard amusement because it's body shifting day.
Sheesh. I think we should do away with the monarchy on these
grounds alone.

Now that, I might have found in bad taste - on a national broadcast
medium anyway. I was pretty numb to the whole thing anyway as my
mum had just died.

The involvement of Iran’s Germany-based diplomats in inappropriate activities are the strongest in any European or Western country. Not only are they involved directly – as in the case of the Mykonos massacre in Munich, or as in the case of a death from the consulate in Munich against a German-Iranian rapper Shahin Najafi last year.
