God save the Queen

So our Queen is recovering in hospital from the flu . Fair enough at her age ... so she is to miss her planned trip to Rome to visit the out going Pope . Bummer . The fact that the head of our Roman Catholic Church has resigned over gay sex  claims  has nothing to do with it then ?  He  has forfited his chance to vote for the new  Pope and will leave Great Britain with no say in the matter . That must be embaressing for the queen surely !!! Well we can all come up with good excuses when we want to avoid someone...
