"he's been dead to me for years" she told reporters
"Work"

dylanredefined check out the flag here. It's at third mast. What is it trying to tell us? Do we need to send help for Brenda?

Yes but who put it there on the pole? It's nowhere near half way down! A good third, I'll give you.

Before reading that article I didn't realise that anyone had suggested buying a new boat to be named HMY Phil The Greek. I'm totally opposed to the idea but have to admit it would be funny if they did but ended up building it in South Korea or even better EuropeThe public is not as concerned about the duke's demise as royalists might hope. It will be interesting to see the response when the Queen finally snuffs it.

Well they usually relish any story that allows them to further inflate their sense of self-importance.

The record number of complaints received highlight the difficulties of reflecting the national mood.

They even do it when they are involved in some scandal, such as when the crimes of Savile and what institutions let him get away with came to light.

It's signficant that the overall impact of the first night of the sobfest was a massive overall fall, you could claim that the 60% fall in BBC2 viewers was due to them switching to BBC1 but that fell by 6% even so. Even if every single one (unlikely) of those BBC2 viewers went to BBC1 it still wasn't enough to make up for those viewers (inc the Q's) whose response was Netflix
We've got something like 4 hrs of this to look forward to on Sat afternoon. I'm hoping for good weather so I can move the cars and jetwash the front drive (in a respectful and sombre way of course)
Son Q thought he was being clever by volunteering to go into work on the day of the Sussex nuptials but some arsehole brought in a portable TV and put it on the next desk to his.

They've moved the footy from 15.00 kick offs but fortunately the Indian Premier League is playing - Mumbai versus Hyderabad - so that's the day's viewing sorted for me. Apart from ten minutes when I first saw the news of the death I have managed to avoid all coverage of it which I am pretty chuffed about.

this is 2021, they can operate them remotely, it's not like the procession will move very fast
