Queen makes history by selling unwanted gifts on Ebay

THE Queen has listed 60 place mats, a gift to commemorate her attendance of a cabinet meeting, on eBay.

She had smiled weakly on receiving them and said they were just the ticket.

The Queen later said: “They think I don’t have table mats? What kind of operation do they think I’m running? Dickheads.”

Bidding on the place mats has already reached £17.29. The Queen has since listed a ‘Rare fertility idol from some island’ and ‘Cracker DVD box set signed by cast’.

 

Your astrological week ahead, with Psychic Bob

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)
One of the boxes under the Christmas tree may be what you’ve been hoping for all year, but it looks a bit bulky to be a set of divorce papers.

Capricorn (22 DEC-19 JAN)
After Instagram has made millions from all your brilliant photos, iTunes will cash in on recordings of you singing in the shower. Course they will.

The fertility clinic aren’t happy that you designed their website with ‘Placenta To Continue’ on the home page.

Your first date with a mental health worker goes downhill after you realise they’re stressing the first rather than the second word.

Your work at the Cockney Trouser Research Centre is going really well. You’re making great strides.

Scorpio (24 OCT-21 NOV)
Christmas is a time for remembering those less fortunate than you. Which in your case is basically nobody.
