Queen playing dead

[Timbeez]

Hi All, is it common practice for the queen after being marked to play dead, I honestly s@@t my pants when I put her back and she just fell to the floor, picked up off floor and put on frames see attached vid.

I think David Evans wrote a piece about this. She should recover fairly quickly I believe.

Yes ... very common - they usually come round quite quickly. It may be a defence mechanism or just shock ...

Thanks J, two fold for your prompt reply and it’s an interesting read, she wasn’t as bad as his at least she’s marked and I won’t have to touch her again, I have the same affect on the Mrs, her new Nic name is Cat from now on

Hi J, you were bang on, I checked her today and she’s alive and kicking
