Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

[pogofish]

Am I remembering correctly that Tony impregnated Cherie at Balmoral?

I have heard that, yes.

If you don't like hunting, shooting and fishing etc, it would seem a fair enough thing to do.

 

[Sprocket.]

Do the Express like him now? I seem the remember, under the management of Richard Desmond, they printed all kinds of conspiratorial bollocks about Phil scheming to make Spencer deliberately get into a limo with a pissed driver and not wear a seatbelt.

And I had always expected such consistency from our tabloids.

Possibly, I just reacted to my years of loathing for the arse licking bastards.

I reckon Liz(ard) will go and then they'll have to change all the fucking money and then Chuckie will buy the farm soon after and they'll have to change all the fucking money once again.

Given how red in the face Chuck usually is, & not as a result of sunburn, I'm going to take a punt on him having unmanaged/badly-managed hypertension, & that his end will be from a stroke.

I can live in hope, anyway.

Maybe he'll collapse and die at his pa's funeral

Causing William to have a nervous collapse therefore putting George on the throne at aged 7.

He's got those big swollen fingers too which often means high blood pressure. It's all that rich food because it can't be stress.

 

[not-bono-ever]

any news?

We can live in hope that it's going to cause a massive stroke, can't we?

too quick

 

[danny la rouge]

any news?

I heard they’re doing an open topped bus tour with the corpse because the funeral is only allowed 15 people due to lockdown.

 

[danny la rouge]

They’re going to prop him up with the Royal sceptre.

I don’t know how they plan to move his jaw, but they’ve got Culshaw working on “what is it you do?” “Lol, forgeigners” and “my mum was a nun, you know”.

They should follow the Euro and put nice pictures of bridges and so on on the money so it doesn't have to be resssued at great effort every time one of these fucking monarchs dies.

I agree with taking the king/queen off notes but i don't think they will withdraw all the existing notes and coins in one go like that. They will just start printing chucky instead of liz on any new notes and coins so we will still be getting the liz ones in our change for years after she dies.

Is that how it works? I suppose it's been so long since a monarch karked it that we don't really know. Won't there be something like a six month period where the Liz(ard) ones will be legal tender still and after that kaput like they did with the old Adam Smith twenties?

I suspect there will be tonnes of clickbait about "Are Elizabeth notes still legal?" and the like.

When i was a kid in the 70s i'm remember i used to get the odd old shiling coin (worth 5p in "new money") in my change that had george the whatever number it was on them. I may be wrong but i think it would be too expensive and complicated to change every note and coin in 6 months like that.

 

[PR1Berske]

It would be phased, and at quite the cost given:

*Relatively speaking, we've only just gone polymer
*Cash use has collapsed during covid, and it was falling anyway, so the expense of replacing notes just for the monarch might cause controversy

 

[Johnny Doe]

Phil always had the added pressure of coming up with a racist comment for each occasion.

You do wonder whether he's been well enough to question where the doctors and nurses come from?

Bridges that don't even exist. Might as well put fictional characters on the notes, they'll never die either. Could have Sherlock Holmes, or Michael Caine, or a Dalek.

Michael Caine isn't fictional
