You are addressing Her Majesty, the past poster herself!
Ignoring the fact my original post was a throwaway joke Anyway, I think when people are compiling joke lists, they, being jokes, are not strictly rooted in chronology. People are going to be putting, for example, Aragorn from Lord of the Rings on lists for years, but only 10 years on, the actor who played him looks quite different.
I can understand the being disturbed. I remember being quite disturbed when helping with a house clearance after an elderly relative's death, and finding condoms in the bedroom. My aunt gently explained that "old people have sex too". 
lauranorder actually, when I had my first polyphonic ringtone-capable phone, I had Queen, silly. A Kind Of Magic, to be precise.
I will make sure to tell my own mother that "grown-ups" don't watch Friends.
I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
I am intrigued that you know it had canned laughter- I can't bloody remember whether it did or not!
