The appearance was delayed by two weeks after bugs in the RoboQueen's software caused her to make obscene gestures whenever she saw a swan, proving calamitous at breakfast.
"It went well. Very well," said lead designer of the RoboQueen, Dr Eleanor Gay.
"We surveyed the credulous simpletons who line the street to stare at her and the majority were convinced it was the Queen and not a soulless, uncaring automaton."
The RoboQueen is the beginning of an ambitious project to replace the entire royal family with robots so that the real royals can spend their time shooting animals and doing Ali G impressions.
Simon Williams witnessed the RoboQueen.
"Really convincing. I'd never have guessed it was a robot," he declared.
However, as he is the sort of person who stands in a road to look at an old lady going to church, his judgement is questionable.
He was supportive of the RoboRoyal program, though.
"Yeah, that's fair enough. I mean, they have a hard life with all that waving and going on State visits to the Caribbean.
"Why not get robots to do the boring bits, like going to church or meeting that Prime Minister and that."
It is understood that instead of attending church, the Queen spent Sunday morning lying on her sofa with a family bag of Maltesers on her chest watching 'Jenny Bond's 100 funniest Glorious Goodwood bloopers.'

After watching a few episodes of "The Crown" on Netflix, i am even more in agreement with the French philosopher Denis Diderot, who said "Man will never be free until the last King is strangled with the entrails of the last Priest"
@Agnosco:
I really like your icon or whatchamacallit..
I like crows, sometimes.
Animals talk to me, I talk back. Actually we 'whisper'. I am very old school on this. Very old, ancient. I believe I am getting even older. Technology seem to be whizzing me by.
Also, I had a friend named jtree (a human). This is back in the days when I commented at Smirking Chimp and before I was kicked off from there. Ol' jtree was very fond of that Denis Diderot quote. jtree lived in California, a place I am from (so to speak) but will never go back to--it isn't there.
ned, out
Funny comments everyone. Ned... you're tops!

She's 'just doing her job' performing like a plastic doll in her own pantomime on behalf of the family Firm, regardless of right or wrong. The Firm is worth a fortune so her entertainment and financial extraction tactics have been incredibly rewarding to date.
the Queen does not watch Jenny Bond...Bond is a gypsy...if the Queen wanted to watch a gypsy, she would go and visit Kate. Honestly, I wonder at the reporting sometimes...sigh........
