[moochedit]

A fine swordsman who kept the backstreet abortion merchants in business in the 1950s

Oh is there some juicy stuff to come out now?

 

[T & P]

if you go to the sky sports site, they are reporting the death. hasn't got anything to do with sport, but its the headliner there as well

Meanwhile at the Beeb...







Those bastards at BBC Weather are carrying out as normal. Show some respect you unpatriotic commies

Coincidence...?

Giant lizard climbs shelves of Thai supermarket in search of food – video

The 6ft-long creature is believed to have struggled to find food outside, following months of dry weather with little rain which has lead to many canals and lakes drying up

Last thing i would read would be a bbc news article about a royal death. Bbc news always arse lick the royals. Will avoid bbc tv news for next 24 hours for the same reason.

Probably best to avoid all BBC output, currently it's across all BBC TV & radio channels, bloody bonkers.

Floods of tears, though.

What did it say?

What did it say?

It was a tweet about supporting Bolivia.

Be grateful we live in the age of Netflix and Amazon Prime

 

[Sprocket.]

 

[UrbaneFox]

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

An appropriate tribute. Well done.

 

[Orang Utan]

It was a tweet about supporting Bolivia.

Clearly a scheduled tweet. Oops.

 

[BillRiver]

It was a tweet about supporting Bolivia.

Cheers

It was a tweet about supporting Bolivia.

There was also a typo, "private private" where he presumably meant to write "private profit".

 

[danny la rouge]

He was a nonce.

That bit annoyed me intensely and I'm glad it was deleted for that alone. Don't these people read their posts posts before hitting enter?

 

[Jeff Robinson]

What did it say?

What did it say?

It was about a meeting in solidarity with socialist Bolivia.

 

[Smokeandsteam]

He's still be alive if it wasn't for the Brexiteers. I hope they are happy now

 

[Idris2002]

He was a nonce.

Or "His Royal Greekness"

 

[Argonia]

For some reason I don't understand I get Daily Fail updates on my screen in Google Chrome and they are going absolutely bananas, updates about every minute with inane bollocks.

Dammit, this ruined (some of) the fun, I was enjoying speculating about what it could be. My best guess was something along the lines of "Can you hear the Royals sing? I CAN'T HEAR A FUCKING THING!"

Anyway, I liked this bit of coverage:

 

[krtek a houby]

Dear conservatives, royalists and lurking loyalists.

If one may be so bold to say just one thing in this gravest of tidings?








FUCK YOUR FEELINGS

 

[not a trot]

Dare I turn the tv on today? Is it a stream of mawkish arse licking and tonguing from a steady stream of no marks?

They've moved racing from Aintree to ITV4. Not had a fucking winner yet.

Just spotted The Widdow Maker runs in the 5.15. £1 e/w.

 

[dessiato]

#O HD, TV channel, has started broadcasting "The Windsor, a history of power and scandal." I've decided to watch it all. I think it will be interesting in light of today.

 

[Argonia]

Think that BBC One and Two are fucked for the rest of the day but hopeflly with a bit of luck BBC Four will be spared from the bollocks

 

[SpineyNorman]

Makes you wonder what they'll do when the Queen dies?

Take over the internet. Even urban won't be safe

Probably being monitored by the grief police at this very moment.

 

[Argonia]

Bollocks they're pulling the Friday Football Social from Radio 5 live, this is intolerable

 

[Idris2002]

 

[Cid]

The fuck is the point in all this pulling of programs? How many hours of hagiography have they got banked?

e2a: I should add that I have no idea whether programs have actually been pulled.

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

It's natural for people to be sympathetic, and it's no crime to find it a big deal. But surely they must know that overkill could backfire.
