Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

[May Kasahara]

BBC have kist said "controversial wit"

R6 went with "that direct way of speaking"

 

[dessiato]

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

Hang on to it. It'll be worth more in a year or so.

 

[tendril]

Heaven just got a new racist

He ain't going to heaven

 

[Johnny Vodka]

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

Simultaneous broadcast over all BBC networks.

 

[Dr. Furface]

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.

must be gutted he missed the pubs reopening too, so close!

 

[Sprocket.]

A day off from what exactly?

A lot of deathlists have paid out 20%

For the funeral.

 

[Johnny Doe]

When's the bank holiday?

Won't someone think of the self employed!

 

[Elpenor]

For the funeral.

His family don’t work!

 

[gentlegreen]

Deluge of bad news burying follows - this'll keep 'em going for weeks...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Oh fuck. Media blackout for a week then.

I've got some good books handy at least.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

My dad, fervent anti-royalist, may actually have imploded if he was watching TV/listening to the radio when this was announced. Watching him in the build up to the birth of one of the royal babies was hilarious. He can't even be in the same room as the royals being discussed. The time leading up to the funeral is going to drive him insane

 

[Orang Utan]

Follow @grievewatch on Twitter for shits and giggles

 

[dessiato]

The woman on BBC World News sounds close to tears. I assume it's from laughing and cheering too much.

They've got the anthem on, and put up a black screen

 

[danny la rouge]

Well? What’s his status now?

 

[kalidarkone]

He is brown bread

100%

You won!

 

[ruffneck23]

Just in a job and the Lilly’s old lady came out to tell me , I tried not to smile

 

[Ax^]

how did o find this out from my work colleges and not this thread

 

[rubbershoes]

I hope Brenda doesn't go straight away.. Otherwise we may only get a single bank holiday

 

[cupid_stunt]

My watched thread list...

 

[quimcunx]

Classic fm has done one verse of god save the queen and switched to all sombre music, possibly for the rest of the day, the week, until the funeral?

 

[klang]

he probably looks a lot better now.

 

[Ax^]

do we get a public holiday

 

[Johnny Doe]

I hope Brenda doesn't go straight away.. Otherwise we may only get a single bank holiday

Enough with the clamour for Bank Holidays! We've just had two days where I don't get paid!

 

[Calamity1971]

Will bojo squeeze a tear out?

 

[xenon]

OK well that's no more live radio or tv for at least the next 12 hours.

 

[rubbershoes]

Damn you Markle!

shakes fist

And Merkel

 

[quimcunx]

general note: I wish we'd start new threads instead of updating deathwatch threads.

 

[T & P]

A more lovable racist rogue the world will never know.

 

[klang]

do we get a public holiday

Pubs and shops to be shut for another week in his honour.

 

[Sprocket.]

His family don’t work!

Oh, start spreading rumours like that. The BBC say none work harder, apart from Johnson of course.
