Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

Do you remember her going on Going Live and she appeared drugged out of her brains, her eyes rolling around and mumbling? I've never found the interview online but I'm sure I remember it.

I remember Martika on Saturday Superstore (or whatever it was at the time) being pretty incomprehensible and smoking a cig before stumbling through “Martika’s Kitchen” (can’t find the clip for that either)
 
What if your neighbours are cunts?

whilst insane solo ranting women next door probably wouldnt notice, and i dont care much for the wreckhead family in the next street who regularly amuse themselves with marathon, late night obscenity screaming and glass smashing sessions - the slovakians on my road are alright (besides leaving hundreds of dog ends on the floor) and both the resident drug dealers always smile and say hello when I pass them. I dont believe any of them are ardent royalists and i dont want to be responsible for bringing down the neighbourhood.
 
Coverage didn't go down at all well

A further 233 people complained that BBC presenters were not wearing sufficiently respectful clothes, with viewers complaining that not all newsreaders were wearing black – an echo of the controversy over the burgundy tie worn by Peter Sissons when he announced the death of the Queen Mother in 2002.
I might write in and complain it's disrespectful for them to broadcast in colour, they should go entirely black and white for the duration like Network Rail.
My work clearly includes mental people. It was suggested that if there is an official 2 minute silence, we could have a Teams call so "we can pay our respects together."

I'm not completely sure, but I think I might have outed myself as an anti-monarchist with my response.
Spend the 2 minutes playing DMX in memoriam?
 
Is it just me, or is it a bit odd that Prince Harry, who very recently was complaining about the Royal Family being a bunch of racists, is now referring to his recently deceased grandfather as a "legend of banter"?
He probably has to say that - poor bastard'd be crucified by the likes of Daily Wail/Piers Moron for "disrespecting the dead" if he said what he really thought...

Well 'banter' is often a way of excusing sexist/racist/whatever else-ist shit IME so...

a legend of banter could mean a legendary banterer. but it could also mean a legendary topic of banter.

Yeah, that's what I was suggesting.

But if Harry thinks that Phil, with his public record of racist and sexist statements, is just a legend of banter, clearly he was referring to other, far worse, members of the family a few weeks ago...
 
Close friend , regular visitor and fellow carriage enthusiast penny brabourn is also mourning . Now I don’t give a hot rats egg about this cabal of waster shitbags sex lives but if it had been anyone else who had been putting himself about, this would be part of the death narrative. It’s as if the UK press are not telling the whole story

rolls royce

i went up to alexandra palace when michael portillo had his 40th birthday party there many years ago. there was some fun and games with the police and there must have been some vandalism in the car park because i overheard a man on a payphone (it being the days before mobiles were common) wondering if the aa would have a spare tire for a rolls royce

The Crown Estate brings in about £400m a year
They don't get money from the Crown Estate, that goes to HMT. Lots of the crown estate is sea bed so brings in money from offshore gas extraction and wind generation.

You were invited, weren't you...? :(
 
Love the fact that the stupid coverage garnered the highest number of complaints in TV history. Absolutely beautiful.
Aye, and six of them were me. :thumbs:

The BBC has reportedly received more than 100,000 complaints about its coverage of the death of Prince Philip, a record in British TV history.

The previous record for complaints was 63,000 for the BBC's screening of Jerry Springer: The Musical in 2005.

On another forum I suggested that all UK taxpayers should have the choice to opt out of the portion of tax that supports the monarchy - the reason being so we can see how many people actually support them. The flaming from other posters (incl. a retired UK diplomat who wanted me horse whipped) was mighty indeed 😀

reflection suggests that the thing your disputants objected to was more that the more people opt out the greater the burden on those who continue to support the monarchy financially. if you had said, we can all win by impaling the royal family on sharpened flagpoles along the mall as we will all see a diminution in our taxes you'd likely have won them round
