Warm and hearty congratulations to our supreme leader, who today became the longest 'serving' monarch in our nation's history.
Granted, she has not had to win re-election during that time, or re-interview for her position, or avoid a wave of redundancies, or survive a coup d'etat.
Actually, now that I think about it, all she has had to do to fulfil this wonderful accomplishment is to not die.
So congratulations to QEII for not dying!
Though actually, if most of us had access to the best healthcare that taxpayers' money can buy, and had never had to do a day's work in our lives, I reckon the majority could have not died for just as long as Liz.
So perhaps this is not such a wonderful achievement after all.
And perhaps the endless hours of sycophantic forelock-tugging coverage on the Beeb and elsewhere ought to make mention of the fact that all she has done is not die. Just a thought....
