Has the Queen died?

[Flavour]

yeah she's definitely dead isn't she. calling it for a 6pm announcement.

 

[Petcha]

On the Queen, Cricinfo report that “an ECB spokesperson has said ‘there is no mandate from DCMS to cancel sporting events, and it is left to individual sports to decide on appropriate steps.’”

Truss gave her covid?

Given Truss past comments on the monarchist I assume this is just what happens when an anti-Queen touches a Queen.

 

[brogdale]

So if London Bridge really was down already...isn't all this guff in the media exactly how they'd soften up the masses for the news?

 

[Buddy Bradley]

yeah she's definitely dead isn't she. calling it for a 6pm announcement.

Nah, they'll announce it as soon as they get the news. Don't want to get beaten to it by the competition, do they.

When it Cookie Monster it’ll be serious

Just turned on the TV and found that the BBC are doing a BBC News Special until 18:00 today. I might just throw my TV out of the window.

I turn 50 tomorrow, she better not die on Friday and spoil that

geting kicked out of a helicopter by daniel craig in the olympic opening ceremony

Helicopter based funerals can be quite tricky.

The crowd, much of it made up of Revolutionary Guards detailed to maintain order, pulled the coffin from the helicopter and began parading it around the makeshift compound surrounding the gravesite. As the excitement grew, the body of the Ayatollah, wrapped in a white burial shroud, fell out of the flimsy wooden coffin, and in a mad scene people in the crowd reached to touch the shroud. The soldiers pushed and wrestled, finally firing warning shots, to get the body back. Ayatollah Khomeini's son, Ahmad, was knocked from his feet. But even as the soldiers pushed the body back into the helicopter, the crowd swarmed over the craft, dragging it back down as it tried to take off. Others jumped into the hole dug for the Ayatollah's body. The troops drove the crowd back, finally clearing the compound enough to allow the helicopter to take off, its rotors scattering more mourners.[14]

They really better not cancel the test.

meghan made sure she was far away when her poison took effect

Beeb just announced Paedipus Rex is on his way to Balmoral with the rest of them. Can imagine there'll be a few icy stares when she calls him in to her bedside first, as favourite son.

She's probably named him as her successor.

Already being blamed for not visiting when they were around this week.

If you bear the words this is the BBC from London then you will know

 

[extra dry]

View attachment 341553

some of us are not too trusting of the papers. This may end the UK as we know it, won't it trigger scotish independence and welsh independence votes and the new King Charles 4th?

 

[Petcha]

Well the ECB being what they are, the level of competence, I wouldn't be surprised.

Still, it's not even raining here north of the river so we might get a little bit of play. Checked the forecast and the next four days look ok. Let's hope the Saffas opt for a full strength attack this time after the debacle of the second test.

Looking forward to Brooks' debut. Poor dude if it's overshadowed by this nonsense.

House of the Dragon - lizard based family, unexpected successor named., House of Windsor...

Don't think he's going to use Charles, is he?
