Oh, ffs, 

A lemon and Swiss roll amaretti trifle is to be the official pudding for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee after winning a competition to find a new dessert.

That actually sounds pretty good TBF. Is there a recipe anywhere?

Why do I get a vision of Leonardo Di Caprio's character in "Django Unchained" when I read that headline? 

Pretty much what i was thinking. I fully expected it to be about dickie-bowed hooray henry's betting on a thunderdome full of tramps.

That sounds lovely, but can I buy all the ingredients and serve a hearty portion of it to her Ma'am for 30p?

I was in Bangkok a few years ago at the temples and security was really tight, one of the princesses was there and I witnessed her handmaids around her on their hands and knees, appalling.

Howling at this story from the Inverness Courier about a guy renaming his chip shop in honour of Tyson Fury.

Someone needs to get Fury up to get his dinner from there. 

My local chipper. It's not as good as it was under the previous owners, when it was a lovely chipper, but the name is better than "Westhill Chip Shop".

He used to own my local chippie too, ‘The Codfather’

I'll give you. After the last Kings death(which they did like). There was a months mourning, there was 1 day dedicated for everyone to head to the Royal Temple of Singburi province. Wat Pranon Chacksi

What we all had to do was stand in a queue (only queue I've every seen here) for 4 hours, in the splitting heat to lay a paper flower next a photo of the said dead King.  I went along in respect of my wife and her family.

When we got to about 50m of the duties (flower drop) I noticed that everyone was going up the 5 stairs to the photo on their knees. I was thinking no fucking way I'm doing that. I got to the point of being handed a flower and then the local paper wanted a photo of me placing the flower, so they quickened me up just to to top of the stairs, then the snap shot of me bowing and placing the flower.

I was not to sure what was worse.

Fairly sure any trifle recipe, as long as it has a cocktail stick with a wee Union Jack on it, will please Her Maj.

All available at your local food bank - and you don't even have to cook it. If no exotic Italian biscuits, digestives will do.

ETA - the king of Thailand story

My wife Buddha bless her. Knows I didn't own clothesso jumped out at the local village market to buy me a black shirt (I still wear) and a pair of dressed shoes(2nd hand).

These shoes had the toe length as a clown. I was like I can't wear them, ok. Let's go.....jumped in the car and can't drive as the shoes were too big, laughter (not her), we move on. I drive with my flip flops and then chance.  

Half way round the queue, the glue on the soles of these shoes were giving way, and become more a flipper than a shoe.

Here's me big stepping (but only normal step length)........Whole day was great, for me and the son at least. hilarious day.

I'm bad. I know

No wonder the internet scammers have pictures of you with your tackle out.

If you're a naturist, just say so. This is a supportive, understanding space. Nobody will mock you here.

Not me sir, only 1 photo of me on the internet. American agent ask we about 10 years ago for a photo of me so they can sent to there clients.

I sent a photo of me in front of the White House, giving them the vicky.  They stuck up on their website....'God bless America'
