[seeformiles]

Will bojo squeeze a tear out?

He appears to be doing his best as I type

 

[Ax^]

has Sas been in to call us all nasty anti royalist yet

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Radio 2 went off in the middle of Laura Branigan's We Are Young

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Planet Rock didn't announce it as I was cleaning the bathroom!

My first thought was, literally, of this thread

 

[chilango]

A refugee and the inspiration for Greenpeace apparently.

Private sector radio as well. LBC cut off a working class Belfast speaker on events, to pre recorded eulogy followed by National Anthem. Told said speaker he'd be on afterwards but obviously a decision taken quickly by end of anthem to devote rest of morning to the racist old cunt. '
gaffes, outspoken, to national treasure' etc.
That Al Jazeera article someone posted up before had it right.. he said just what the Brit establishment would still like to say but try to hide (not in always successfully eg Megan)

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Bojo now on the TV "Does he really care?" shouts my 8 year old angrily

 

[ska invita]

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

GENIUS

Waiting for those bastards in Union Jack suits to start weeping and laying flowers outside Buck house. It’s going to be excruciating.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I predict a weekend of super-gammonyness and flag-shagging.

 

[Idris2002]

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?

Is it the verse that goes "potential H-Bomb"?

 

[gentlegreen]

Coincidentally I was messing around with a health calculator earlier and wondering which postcode would give the highest "Townsend deprivation score" and I did think of trying Buck house ...

"Environmentalists owe him a great debt" I heard as I was serving up my lunch

Are we going to suspend social distancing so we can be properly patriotic and have street parties with bunting and all that?

 

[seeformiles]

I wish the Beeb would stop saying that “the nation is united in mourning”. No one I know is.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, dies aged 99

Ha. I was only a year and a bit out.

genuine q - do people really give a fuck about him? I can't think of a single person in my life who'd be bothered by his death...

exactly

Are we going to suspend social distancing so we can be properly patriotic and have street parties with bunting and all that?

especially considering the demographic of the punters ...

 

[pogofish]

I’d actually just taken a new bottle through for tonight - would it be wise to crack it open now?

Met police decide for “light touch” policing I expect

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

Tbf he's probably been dead for a few years and this is just the official announcement

 

[Pickman's model]

High time as mc5 would say

 

[Ax^]

ponders if we are going to have a wanky week of the people prince all over again

 

[chilango]

Proposal for prominently placed statue on its way no doubt.

Watching my FB feed to see who's bothered. And some folk are, and this is in Scotland ffs.

 

[seeformiles]

Nicholas Witchell is on now - his nose browner than ever

 

[Argonia]

I'm going to get lashed tonight.

The news on the telly is going to be intolerable.

 

[Sprocket.]

Radio and TV off for another fortnight then. I’ll get anything interesting off here.
