Interesting article on how bbc.co.uk has grown in the ten years it has been online:

I don't like the BBC, I prefer Fox News cause they're fair and balanced.:lol:

Wow - I've just found out the Queen Mother is dead - I totally missed that one :confused:

That's Queen Elizabeth the 1st, you rarely heard anything about her.

the one at moment, Queen Elizabeth II is still alive.. right?

But that does raise the point, why do they have a (powerless?) monarchy.

Ha Ha Queen Elizabeth 1 lived 1533 – 1603.

The Queen Mother was married to George VI, the previous King. (She still died a while ago though)

Well that would make more sense, I just read the tagline on the photo on the bbc page, and deduced wrongly that it was the elizabeth the first, haha.
