I'm cursing and spitting because I wanted to be working when the QM snuffed it so I got a day off. Mind you, we'll get weeks of Diana-type grizzling drivel on the telly...

The first time I was told to have my Queen Mum Obituary tape 'on standby' was in 1992. So don't hold your breath. (Or better still, get her to hold hers, and then I'll not have to update the bloody thing again).

there are about four of these amber alerts every year. i was in bbc radio glasgow recently and as well as having lights in each studio for 'on air,' 'fire' and something else, they had a fourth marked 'obit.'

such an fuss over a old lady...

The Yorkshire Evening Post accidentally posted the Queen Mum's obituary on their Web site recently:
