Queen drops Slayer song titles into speech

THE Queen’s Speech is littered with song titles from thrash metal act Slayer, it has emerged. 

Following a bet with Prince Harry, the Queen has seamlessly incorporated the names of 23 different songs from the band, unnoticed by the assembled MPs. 

Denys Finch Hatton, Conservative MP for Hampshire North East, said: “I must say, she picked the perfect band for it. 

“When she opened with ‘Here Comes The Pain,’ from the God Hates Us All LP, nobody blinked an eyelid, and when she followed up with ‘Evil Has No Boundaries’ everyone just thought how refreshingly honest we can be now we’ve got a majority. 

“Our prison policy was described as an ‘Altar of Sacrifice’ and ‘Expendable Youth’, which again raised no eyebrows, and referring to the years of Labour rule as ‘Seasons in the Abyss’ is basic common sense. 

“I only spotted the references because I spent four years as tour drummer for Lawnmower Deth. She’d never have got away with Mariah Carey songs.”

Your astrological week ahead, with Psychic Bob

Taurus (20 APRIL–20 MAY)
Good news as the letter with your work tribunal outcome is delivered tomorrow. The good news being that your postman has stopped stealing your letters.

Gemini (21 MAY-20 JUN)
Your star sign is named Gemini, the twins, after a constellation where two stars look like twins because they’re both white and sparkly. It was a Friday and the astronomers had had a heavy night.

Cancer (21 JUN-22 JUL)
It’s been a really negative time for Cancer over the last eight months. Still, halfway there.

Leo (23 JUL-22 AUG)
When you get that feeling, you want sexual healing. And a course of antibiotics.

Virgo (23 AUG-22 SEP)
By changing electricity provider you’ve managed to save a theoretical £75 a year if you ever paid your bill.

Libra (23 SEP-23 OCT)
It’s time to tackle that difficult issue at work you’ve been avoiding for so long – exactly how to kill the person in the next cubicle and make it look like an accident.

Scorpio (24 OCT-21 NOV)
Excellent news on the work front when your new restaurant We Shove Cookie Dough Into Anything finds a huge clientele tired of food that doesn’t contain cookie dough. Particularly popular are the Cookie Dough Meatballs.

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)
People are always surprised when you reveal you’ve named your son Wolfgang, not after the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but because he looks just like a group of wolves.

Capricorn (22 DEC-19 JAN)
You can’t wait until Friday, when you see the latest instalment of a movie franchise based on intellectual property mainly familiar from toy lines. Ah, the magic and romance of cinema.

Aquarius (20 JAN-19 FEB)
This week you’ll regret purchasing a replica Mrs Potts teapot from the Disney film Beauty and The Beast, mainly because of her mounting screams of agony when you fill her with boiling water.

Pisces (20 FEB-20 MAR)
A tough week for you as you’re sent to prison. Yeah, various crimes obviously, every Pisces is different, but ultimately a custodial sentence is the only option.

Aries (21 MAR-19 APRIL)
On Saturday, you admit you have portion control issues when your takeaway order requires two mopeds.
