Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

[Edie]

I wouldn't go as far as to say I have affection for him but he was certainly part of the landscape as it were. I don't know very much about the man will listen to the euologies and find out I expect. I also find these types of threads on Urban an embarrassment.

Rather than avoiding mainstream media, will probably end up watching more mainstream media (and a bit less Urban) for a bit as a result

This is good Prince Philip: An extraordinary man who led an extraordinary life

 

[May Kasahara]

I’ve just discovered a litre of proper Russian stoli at the back of the drunker cabinet. I might broach it. I’m sure it’s what he would have wanted

The drunker cabinet! I hope that's what you genuinely call it

 

[Gort]

wtf, news shite on R6?

I'm now listening to a few recorded shows on BBC Sounds. Right now I'm listening to Marc Riley and will be moving on to Gideon Coe afterwards.

Absolutely nuts this fawning coverage...

 

[MickiQ]

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

Me too mate, Not only will I lose yet another days pay but the weather is too shit for a barbecue

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

We had a socially distant street party on VE Day with us all sat on our driveways

I was in a car park in Stoke Newington when a window cleaner broke the news to me . It's what the Duke would have wanted.

What Death?

Mrs Q was watching the telly when it came on and shouted up the stairs to tell me, she reckons that Brenda might abdicate now and let Chucky have a turn.
If she does will we still get a BH when she pegs or will we then have to wait for Chucky?

Mrs Q's Dad will probably raise a glass to Phil The Greek, He's no fan of Brenda and her brood but had a soft spot for Phil on the grounds they are both ex-navy (Phil and my FIL not Phil and Brenda)
He's equally blunt which has often made me wonder if the RN runs courses on it.

My boss just told me in a phone call. He's Glaswegian. We laughed

 

[Orang Utan]

I have some affection for him. He was a man of principle, duty and character, and appalling political incorrectness.

What does that even mean? It’s guff

The needle on my wireless must be stuck.

 

[ginger_syn]

Sad for his family, but they could have left the lunchtime concert on radio three on at least.

Parroted patriotic guff at that (must be what the "silent majority" really think in the REAL WORLD)

my crystal set is similarly fucked

 

[extra dry]

I wonder if his name is in those maxwell papers? Que consripicy number 106

 

[dessiato]

I'm drinking ice wine, eating paella tapas, sitting in the sun, under a tree laden with orange blossom, and chuckling at this thread. It's a nice day.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Read the above obituary if you want to understand

I really want your life

NTL is a pure haven of non monarchist tunes at present

Read the above obituary if you want to understand

So you can't explain yourself? Do you really believe it?

 

[Idris2002]

Wat.

Au revoir, mo chairde Sasanaigh - wave at our jet if you must:

You can go off people you know.

Not just you, eh?

What does that even mean? It’s guff

(1) Duty: standing four paces behind Queen
(2) Principle: doing so repeatedly
(3) Character: occasionally saying out loud the racist thoughts that go through your head during (1) and (2)

For which, if you have any personal attributes besides bigotry and the ability to stand unaided, you're overqualified.

 

[Edie]

So you can't explain yourself? Do you really believe it?

Do I believe he had principles, a sense of duty and a strong character? Yes, of course. I mean you may not agree with the Royal Family as an institution and politically, and I probably don’t either. But I don’t doubt the above, about him personally. To think they are all “evil horrible people” is a laughably simplistic understanding.

 

[Gort]

All this news coverage is banal. I mean, what are they going to keep on saying: "The royal family have put out an official statement saying that Prince Philip is still dead. We'll keep you updated with any fresh developments."

Where did I say they were evil horrible people?
What were his principles and "strong character" in your view?

Who on Earth watches rolling tv news in the middle of the day. Haven’t you got anything better to do?

Read the article, it explains it.

So you ARE just parroting what you've read (what people are meant to believe) and have no actual thought yourself??

 

[brogdale]

Apols if we've already gone over this...but...

April 8 = Fatch death day
April 9 = Racist Prince death day

anything for April 10?

 

[Sprocket.]

I have and found my bag of grommets. Searching for earth sleeving now.
