Somewhat symbolically we're soon getting Churchill on one of our notes, it'll be on the fiver. 

I think he should have been saved for the 2040s, not the centenary of WWI...

If Charles becomes King, do you guys have to swap out all the currency?

Not swap out but they'll design new ones with his face, yes.

There's still Georgy coins around.

Whereas here, only the queen now figures on all legal tender, in large part due to decimalisation in the first third of her reign.

Eventually. I actually think the Queen only came onto the notes in the 60s, prior to that it was just Britannia.

Fuck i'm bored.

Pfft, do what I do and masturbate.

Between the post-orgasmic drowsiness and the crying, you'll be asleep in no time.

Lots of insects and humidity.  What's there not to like?

From Gilbert's "The Second World War", an episode from May 13th:

At five o'clock that morning King George VI, asleep in Buckingham Palace, was woken by a police sergeant to be told that the Dutch Queen, Wilhelmina, wished to speak to him. "I did not believe him," the King wrote in his diary, "but went to the telephone and it was her. She begged me to send aircraft for the defence of Holland. I passed the message on to everyone concerned and went back to bed." The King commented: "It is not often that one is rung up at that hour, and especially by a Queen. But in these days anything may happen, and far worse things, too."

In 45 minutes the police will be testing the warning system installed in every city in Denmark, as they do every year on the first wednesday in may. Each year the news are running stories about how thousands of people call the police telling them there's a strange loud noise. And each year I'm surprised by how stupid some people are. My memory sucks too.

Looks like it simply stalled and dropped.  7 fatalities.
