Festive Fun: The Queen's Christmas Speech Not-So Serious Drinking Game

*Sings* God save our gracious Queen, long live our noble Queen... Yes, it's that time of year again - CHRISTMAS time - and soon we'll all be settling down with our tubes of giant Galaxy Minstrels and sour cream and onion Pringles to watch the Queen's speech.

We're sure she'll be chatting all about the Diamond Jubilee, as well as the Olympic games and, of course, the Royal baby-on-the-way... BUT you know how it is, the festive monologue can be a little bit dull. Here's how to pass the time MyDaily style...

When she wishes us a merry Christmas
Take a slug of mulled wine
When you hear the National Anthem
Place your hand on your heart and take three generous sips of a gin and tonic
Any mention of the Royal baby
Wet the baby's head with an elegant sip of non-alcoholic wine
Any mention of Prince Philip
A generous glug from a pint of Boddingtons, it <em>is</em> his favourite tipple after all
When she refers to her Diamond Jubilee
Wash down a scone with a glug of Pimm's
When Queenie refers to the Commonwealth
Take a little sip of an extravagantly polished off pina colada (umbrella and everything)
Any mention of the London 2012 Olympic Games
Two sips of port. For best results, team with cheese and crackers
When Queenie talks about family
Take a glug of your family's fave tipple
When she refers to Prince Charles
One shot of brandy. That'll bring a spot of colour to those cheeks
When she INEVITABLY mentions Prince Harry's naughty behaviour
Down the drink which is closest to hand. It's what Harry would want
