Condolences Here are my favourite extracts from…

Condolences

Here are my favourite extracts from the online Book of Condolences to the Royal Family following the death of the Queen Mother:

“She was a trooper and she never gave up. I remember one time she was visiting a school and I asked her if she would like to make a visit to the cloakroom before she left. ‘No’ she replied, ‘I didn’t give in to the Nazis and I won’t give in to the bladder’. That’s how she was, a fighter, who refused to be beaten by anything. She pissed herself later though, it was sickening”. B. Forrester, North Yorkshire.

“Once again the Queen is not upset enough for my liking, the woman should have a bit more compassion, how would she feel if it was her mother?” W.Waugh, Richmond.

“She was one of the old school, all the remaining royals are shit.”

J.Clement. Grantham.

“No matter how she felt, no matter the situation, she always wore a smile. Just like a retard.”

G. Hollins, East Sussex.

Genius.
