What's the difference between the temperature and a joke?

A nurse can take a temperature....

Very true. The best humour seems to be people taking the piss out of themselves.

Yes, this would be a possible....but I don't know how Royalty communicate?

No, I don't think this is the death of comedy...or hopefully the sick joke, we need those sometimes to put things Into perspective, this was evidently just a dreadful set of circumstances.

It's all very sad....but Jings's joke is still funny!

Unless, of course, the bullying is performed by posters on this site; then it is hilarious

That's right, nothing happens in isolation.

The prank was cruel but the DJs can't be held responsible for her suicide. They certainly showed a crass sense of humour but that's what they were paid to do. The radio station's managers and lawyers approved the broadcast, it wasn't live, so they have some responsibility too.

The hospital should not allow anyone to work switchboard, or do any task, without ensuring that they know procedures. If they didn't have procedures then they are at fault, they say that the nurses were not being disciplined then This hospital is well used to having royals as patients and visitors so really should have this down pat.

I don't like the witch hunt that's happening now, have a look at the tabloids, especially the Mail, they're hounding the DJs.

So how do you deal with a call like this.
I believe the call was made at 5.30 am in the morning.
Did the number show up on call display or is Liz blocking her number?
Now I know its hindsight but surely most people might be thinking would Liz make a call at that time in the morning.
Knowing some of the people I work with the call would have been answered something like this
Hello/Bonjour Canada Border Services can I help you
Hi this is the Queen and Prince Phillip calling about Kate
Can I have a number and I will get the Dr to call you back or
Really do you know my name?
No
Well **** off and stop messing around click
Unfortunately section 107 of the Customs Act does not allow me to give out those details however if you would like to fax me a written request I will forward that on to the appropriate officer.
Hold on for one moment while I get a supervisor (after all thats why they get paid the big bucks).

Whats the betting now that protocols are in place to deal with phone calls allegedly made by the PM or any Royals.

Career limiting moves maybe but even hanging up on the Queen isnt a sacking offence.

Didn't a prankster in Canada once have a conversation with the Queen, in french, about the potential separation of Quebec?

Im betting even Liz knows how to say **** off in French

There's a bit to much hysteria about this story if you ask me.

In what way....

The call from what I heard on 1010 wasn't cruel in any way... bad accents maybe... but cruel no.........

This is an after the fact spin on the call in order to load the argument

Yup the Queen and the Pope. Scroll to the bottom of the story

I can't believe there's talk of charging the two Aussies. If me and my friends got jailtime for pranks we played we'd be lifers.

I believe the story goes that she carried on the conversation thinking Mr Chrétien had had a few drinks..

So even coppers cant have a sense of humour. I found this article to be rather amusing and by doing this has probably made more people aware of the road conditions rather than the usual warnings given.
FFS some people just need to lighten up.
Kudos to the copper(s) who thought this up however some surprise that a copper would know the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby

Although it is Surrey so one could expect the range rover berber jacket crowd not to be amused.

depends on how you view practical jokes. I think they are all cruel as the humour depends on humiliating someone.

What argument do you think I am loading BTW?

Justfication for the outrage and the desire for finding someone to blame...

With out the cruelty it would become pointless even futile....
