Default You're worth millions and someone nicks your nuts

The Queen was “furious” after royal protection officers helped themselves to Bombay mix and nuts left out for her around Buckingham Palace, a court heard today.

"Furious" is better than having them racked, or hung, drawn & quartered though

I read about that on the BBC earlier. I have this great image of her going round marking the bowls. I'm sure she would mark the gin bottles too but I'm guessing it would only get two marks.

Doesn't paint a very flattering picture of her really. Not surprised though.. she strikes me as a tad dour.

I can imagine the conversation which started this. Someone probably asked why there was bowls of nuts all over the place, and some prankster replied "Her Maj leaves those out for us to nibble on at night".

she is actually a very nice lady with a wicked sense of humour, they just hate the cameras....The Dooke , is so protective of her, but get a drink inside of him in private company and he is a real laugh.

And you would know this because...? Honestly wouldn't cost her to smile a bit. She looked miserable all through the Olympics and such.
