[hegley]

Well that's convenient timing...

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Really?

Really!

 

[Sprocket.]

Does this mean we get a day off sometime this month?

His family will, well 30 of them at most.

 

[maomao]

What are the actual chances of a bank holiday on Monday cause I've just cancelled a family barbecue tomorrow due to shit weather.

 

[moochedit]

Thread title edit required.

Yep [fact] etc...

 

[neonwilderness]

Sky news, 'He was a no nonsense character'!
Suppose they can't say racist.

BBC have kist said "controversial wit"

 

[purenarcotic]

Do we get a day off for this? Radio 1 has been interrupted to tell me from the news that this is a day of great significance. What a load of bollocks.

 

[chilango]

R4 anthem disturbed by Amazon delivery driver arriving. Broken Britain.

 

[Quote]

Damn you Markle!

shakes fist

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Really?

Yes. And they're going the fuck on about it too. I was quite enjoying Jayda G.

 

[dessiato]

Only 30 allowed at the funeral? Or is it different for them?

 

[Artaxerxes]

This is all brexits fault.

 

[goldenecitrone]

RIP Phil.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Queen follows him in the not too distant future. Interesting times.

 

[chilango]

R4's hot take..."First member of the Royal Family to travel in a helicopter"

 

[pogofish]

Really?

Yup - Had R6 on in one room and Radio Scotland in the kitchen - they both went over to the same announcement broadcast.

 

[bmd]

BBC have kist said "controversial wit"

It might have been twit.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I can't believe you lot, he was a human being with a family that sort of liked him a bit FFS!

 

[Sprocket.]

I will put my D of E badge up for auction now.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Why is it always the good ones who go when we need them most?

 

[May Kasahara]

Just solemnly announced on 6Music.. followed by the bloody national anthem!

I know. The selfish bastard, I was really enjoying that disco mix

 

[steeplejack]

Finally given out by the third umpire after numerous referrals. A long knock, but he'll be disappointed not to have held on for a century. Always so agonising when you fall one short of the magical three figures.

 

[Calamity1971]

Smooth fucking radio doing the anthem now.
Followed by John Lennon with imagine

 

[bmd]

Damn you Markle!

shakes fist

Oh yeah! Definitely her fault. Lowering the tone. Well, doing something to it.

 

[steveseagull]

Channel 4 do not give a fuck. Carrying on as usual lol

 

[planetgeli]

But Good Friday was last week.

Nice to have two.

 

[Elpenor]

His family will, well 30 of them at most.

A day off from what exactly?

A lot of deathlists have paid out 20%

 

[rubbershoes]

Any news on when the bank holiday will be?

 

[andysays]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Queen follows him in the not too distant future. Interesting times.

Hope springs eternal

 

[DotCommunist]

We shan't see his like again, with any luck

 

[seeformiles]

Looks like today’s Bargain Hunt has been cancelled - bastards!
