The robotic arm Quin is fine but Islam managed to perfect the art years ago: the Jamarat Bridge is designed for crowd flow of 500,000 people an hour with no robots or moving walkways involved. Admittedly large numbers of people have traditionally died on that part of the Hajj, but these would be Monarchists so I don't really forsee any massive loss.

You got to include ritual stoning of the anti-semite Joremy Crobyn in the royal pilgrimage itinerary.

They should cremate her and sell off the ashes and bone fragments as relics.

The Catholic Church already figured out how to one up that, you just rub one of her bones on a bit of cloth and then hole punch circles out of the cloth. Some people say that's not really a relic, but it's better than the previous situation where there were enough fragments of the True Cross to make a house, Jesus was crucified using 1,500 nails, and St Peter had six legs.

I always liked the question 'If the stuff that was used to kill Jesus is still around these days, where are all the carpentry things he made.'

The word in the Bible used to describe Jesus was "tekton" which is probably better translated builder than carpenter. Nearly nothing round there was made of wood because there weren't many decent trees. Basically he was a brickie - fair play to him.

Cooking up a contrived "hollow plinth" theory about how they're keeping the Queen safe while she's nominally on display. Think the earthquake bed.

I think local councils might be responsible for arranging funerals for those with no relatives or friends to do it. Actually I have a friend who does funerals (non religious ones) she may know. I'll ask her if you like. Just remembered I have another friend who does the same. But you're in Northern Ireland right? Maybe it's different over there.

BBC Scotland were meant to show Pollok vs Huntly Scottish Cup game tonight but apparently didn't have enough outside broadcasting units so just didn't bother. Instead they didn't Of course, the Beeb do have enough OBUs to go to some English FA Cup Qualifying game. Terrific stuff.

I think you mean disgraceful and disrespectful (that football is allowed to exist while the queen is dead (did you know the queen died?)) They should have all learned to play cricket instead.

"Go from Huntly to Glasgow on Friday coz your game is on the telly, oh wait no, Queen died but it's too little notice to move the game to Saturday afternoon. Huntly players are part-time, they'll have had to take the day off work for this nonsense. How many OBUs does one death need?
