Memories of Queen Elizabeth II

Sep 21, 2022
1 min read

At People First Forum, I'm known as the Network Queen, that is partly because I'm good at meeting people and partly because of my love for the Royal Family.


So you can imagine how honoured and excited I was to be the only person with learning disabilities to be invited to meet the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip when they visited to open the new Lighthouse Theatre in Poole in July 2004.


I was so proud to be there representing not only myself but also my friends from the learning disabled community. At People First Forum we are truly user led because when I network I'm there on behalf of us all.


On hearing of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, I was very sad but proud of having met her. I have been looking again at all the things that I have received over the years from her and her family, as well as all my books and mugs that I have got over her 70 year reign.


The Queen was so kind and happy, always well dressed and had a lovely smile that we will all miss. I remember fondly her saying “keep up the good work"... our promise to her is that we will do just that!

I found a glossy flyer tucked under my car windshield wiper outside the supermarket. It had a picture of a stopwatch and a web address. I typed it into my phone browser and landed on speedz casino. I had lost £75 earlier in the week on a virtual dog race that somehow finished in a dead heat. The clean, uncluttered layout without a million flashing buttons really caught my attention. I found a simple fruit machine and set my bets to £1 per spin. The machine suddenly hit three jackpot symbols. I walked away with £310, completely baffled by my luck. Morning mates, do you ever take flyer advertising seriously?

The tire inflator I bought wouldn't reach the right pressure, stalling at 25 PSI. I checked the hose and the valve, but nothing seemed blocked. I searched for troubleshooting advice and clicked a link in an automotive forum. It redirected to a live cam sex page, but the person on screen was showing how to clean the internal filter. I followed their method, removed the filter, cleaned it, and the inflator reached full pressure again. A strange place for car advice, but it saved my road trip.
