Black bunting all over my nearest town I reckon. Probably crocheting it furiously now whoever they are.

Those are dog shit bags

Operation London Bridge is fully revved up.

Also featuring Operation Unicorn because of the death happening in Scotland.

This could be like the death of Tito. Civil war within 10 years.

Well I hope its not a comfortable death. One so wracked with pain that the passing leaves a lasting depression on the loved ones.

Off-topic, but I've just realised, looking for the lyrics to make some inappropriate pun with, that I've been getting them wrong all my life. I thought it was:

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you

Royal Rimmer, ' she's not feeling a hundred percent, but I bet she still wants updates on her horses' !

BBC6 going with Halleluljah.

HM Queen Elizabeth’s health looks like death if one glances over without one’s specs on

 

[billy_bob]

Statement from official saying she is “comfortable” that definitely means done game over doesn’t it.

It's not as sinister as 'not in pain any more' but it's pretty conclusive.

Now now, the BBC have just been going on about how even republicans can respect her due to her ability to transcend all barriers and spread infinite joy and comfort to the rascal multitude.

Monarchists are worse than idiots. |et this death mark the end of this shit. No more.

 

[Winot]

Almost fell for that

 

[Looby]

Do sporting events get cancelled if a monarch dies?

Like say….The Great North Run?

Mr Looby reckons 10 days. He’s a bit pissed he’ll miss his home match on Saturday.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but there's a sillier example in waiting.

 

[Dystopiary]

Although part of the reason they are making a big deal of that aspect is that this is how they indicate to people that she is dead/going to die without having to say it explicitly. Well that and the black underpants and wall to wall coverage.

I can't stand the weird euphemisms.

The statement from Buckingham Palace is significant because it is a contrast to the last couple of months, when Buckingham Palace said as little as possible.

It said she remains comfortable at Balmoral.

But the fact that Buckingham Palace felt it necessary to issue a statement, and the fact that family members are travelling there, says everything.

As the prime minister has said, the whole country will be deeply concerned and I think that we must assume that there are reasons for that.

I dunno after the use of the word comfortable I give it 48 hours. Can we take bets?
