Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

Don't want it locked personally, it's building up the anticipation nicely. Every time it gets bumped I experience a flicker of excitement.

Is it possible that one of those 90 inch TVs can be put in his room. Then he can watch the Harry and Megs show tomorrow night. Love to see his heart monitor going fucking bonkers.

I don’t know if there is a time limit on editing thread titles, but assuming ATOMIC SUPLEX can still edit the title of this thread as the OP, what should happen imo is that for as long as the old lizard is still among the living, the word rumour can remain in the thread title.

And when he finally pegs it Atomic Suplex removes the word rumour at his earliest convenience. A bit like the black smoke/ white smoke at the Vatican.

I think its far more likely i'll first hear about phil finally croaking it from a bbc news alert on my phone or an interupted tv show annoucement then from this thread.

Talk for yourself. I only get my news from here. If it hasn’t been reported in the Urban75 forums, it hasn’t happened.

Fair enough. I think most celebrity deaths there is a good chance u75 is where i first hear about it. But with a royal croaking it, i suspect the bbc news app alerts will get there first.

To be honest I didn't put the word rumour in the title. The mods changed it to that.

Could be changing to "[FACT]" soon!

Hmmm... thoughts? Train company issues apology after wrongly claiming Prince Philip died
It seems strange that there’s been like three “accidents” of this nature recently, between the video being played on bbc and some Australian newspaper apparently pulling his obit after publishing it accidentally.

My guess would be that these incidents are caused by the same thing that buoys this thread - that it looks likely he could die any day now. In their cases these are human errors manifesting when testing their readiness to report the real thing (as fast as possible I have no doubt, as speed in reporting is for some reason the most important thing nowadays - sort out the details later).

Human error when the person wielding the pillow fails to wield when needed

Now I think that would be a good idea.

. . . But yeah, I think there is a time limit on editing posts and titles, so not something I can do.
Pretty impressive though getting in there one whole year in advance!

An interim step could be (Rumour) Prince Philip is alive

Or just 'prince philip is undead'

Is it, I didn’t know that

 

[Serge Forward]

Has Phil succumbed yet? Yet me know when he does please.

I think you'll be hard pressed to avoid it.

 

[Serge Forward]

I live a sheltered life, y'know.

 

[not a trot]

Wonder if anyone has asked him what he fancies watching on the TV tonight ?
Bound to have SKY, so the footy could be an option.

At this precise moment in time, the Royal family would love so much being able to blame Harry and Meghan’s interview as a cruel act that proved too upsetting for old poor Phil’s ticker and killed him, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Buckingham Palace staffer hanging around outside his hospital room hoping to give him the pillow treatment tonight.

It certainly would be narratively convenient for one of them to "go". In a Channel 5 straight-to-DVD sort of narrative but all the same.

Every night he watches one or other of the Dracula films

So, zero news for many days now... what’s going on there?
