Has the Queen died?

[littlebabyjesus]

Two weeks? Really?? I'm bored already and I don't do tv or radio Thankfully after about 10 posts my FB feed went back to missing cats

It's what I did with Diana, but that was pre-Urban, pre-Netflix, etc. Did me good. I read a lot of books.

That was worse than I could possibly have imagined from truss.

I'm not going to watch it, give me the two-line summary?

Charlie Brooker was on HIGNFY tmoz night. Was looking forward to that

 

[Pickman's model]

My partner put that on a mates group WhatsApp and a friend of a friend immediately left. Never knew they were a monarchist, or a minor royal.

Years back when diana died and we were all chuckling about it in cw one of the members left because of the way we took the piss. That was really strange, it's not like we'd kept our anti-monarchism under a bushel

Jesus that would be a hard wank to keep going

"There will be plenty of time to debate the monarchy’s future. For now, we must respect the family's personal loss and allow them and others to mourn the loss of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother."

Carboard waffle, rabbit headlights. God Save the king.

Can we all take a moment to think of the life..........of all the fucking trees that will be pulped for tomorrow's 278 page Daily Mail

You’d rather have Charles as king ?

I'd rather not have anyone

 

[not-bono-ever]

I have just a little dance as I was walking to the toilet. Mrs NBE has told the boy to chill some champers for dad, srsly

 

[friedaweed]

so do the offie's close for 10 days asking for a friend

Already shut here in Wales. Out of stock apparently

I would, yes. The queen was rather popular for some reason I don't entirely understand. I reckon this new bloke will be much less popular, which is good.

So do we know when the funeral is yet?

 

[Dystopiary]

No doubt many full-throated defenders of Freedom Of Speech(TM) are going to have their principles put to the test over the coming days/weeks....

Spoiler: Laurence Fox warning

eta Thought it only fair to add spoilers as he's so vile.

 

[Epona]

Always good to know that the Beeb isn't beyond hyperbole...

 

[marty21]

Clearly, BBC reporters have had a carry bag containing a black suit /black tie for this event . They certainly didn't start the day like that.

Due to the passage of time and various events its not going to turn out quite like the 2nd series of the BBC version of House of Cards, but maybe some of the plotlines might still be recycled and reimagined.

Tonight's football is still on. Hoping Roy Keane is in the studio, always thought he was a cunt, but he could redeem himself tonight.

 

[dessiato]

I'm getting a hard time from my sister because, although I feel for the pain the family is feeling, I don't give a shit about the loss of the queen. After all 96 year old people die.

 

[Chilli.s]

I dont suppose anyones mentioned death duties yet, could be a nice little earner

Given how long it took them to admit she was dead already I think you might have to wait a while for that news.

Liberals.

 

[bimble]

Have all the telly news people put black clothes on ? That they’ve had there for years hanging up ready.

 

[dessiato]

Watching BBC interviews, I wonder if they'll broadcast any anti-royalist comments.

 

[Bingoman]

RIP your Majesty
You can now stand down you've done your duty

Yep the inheritance tax could pay all our winter fuel bills as a final act of her love for her serfs

They'll need to give it a while for Charles to stop grinning.

Shithouses. Don't get me wrong they'd get plenty of stick if they said anything, but you've got to stick to your guns.
