Queen Death: Thread for unhinged Tweets, opinions and behaviour

[Artaxerxes]

The queue for the queue is known by the ancient term the ‘mill around’ which has been set up at Surrey Quays shopping centre.

So glad I don’t live around there any more. Not that I could afford it now (and barely could twenty years ago)

Have we had the pooing sculpture yet?

Fuck, The QE Queue is closed for now as it is at capacity, but people will still be arriving in Southwark Park, so where will those people go? In a queue for The Queue....

How exactly do they "close" the queue? Do they have guards in bearskin hats at the end of the queue saying "your not coming in here mate"?

TfL, taking their inspiration from the taliban, have banned busking,

TfL urged to end ban on busking on the Tube during national mourning

The body has closed all its pitches across the capital for the duration of the mourning period.

And nobody minds, as long as they can talk about it - more or less what Chomsky says (?).

We have but it's worth doing again. Just absolutely perfect.

The last person gets given one of them plastic 'Till Closed' signs to hold, just like in Aldi.

 

[pbsmooth]

or the last person just gets told, 'can you tell anyone else who turns up the queue is closed? cheers mate'

Presumably this has to happen, someone has to be at the front of the queue when they close? Unless I guess they decide at a point that no-one further back than x place in the queue is going to make it in time, and tell everyone behind that to go away. That would the sensible way to do it. But there will still be someone right behind the cut off point who so nearly made it.

I think the plan is to gradually increase the speed of the queue until it's a full on sprint past the box. The final moments before the box gets moved would be like a Benny Hill sketch.

Queue takes off.

Hilariously disingenuous email from Tesco.com.


So they're closing all their stores out of respect ... except for the ones that might make a few bob off anyone who fancies an egg and cress sandwich as they watch the coffin go by

[girasol]

So, are famous people really just jumping the queue? Just seen that David Beckham has been... If that's the case, that's very very naughty! Off with their heads!

 

[pbsmooth]

David Beckham seems to have in fact joined the queue.

 

[Calamity1971]

This lady deserves another post.

 

[Calamity1971]

Apparently this the liver king

 

[billy_bob]

Is it me or is what she would've wanted probably, for the first time in 90 years, a bit of a fucking break from the general public gawping at her?

Has anyone tried to book a click & collect from one of those central London stores?

[Petcha]

Is it true that Charles has banned leaders flying in on private jets, does Air Force One count as this and they're all expected to take the Park n Ride?

Know thine audience

 

[Petcha]

His son Harry and his wife (and their Netflix crew) flew in on a private jet of course, but that was pre-royal death. Although their timing is a little sus.

 

[Petcha]

Ah yes, it is true

If you're going to the Queen's funeral, please leave your private jets at home

They have also reportedly been stopped from using helicopters to get around while in the UK.

That's be a hilarious bus to be on

State of Green Park

In photos: Green Park, The Queen, huge crowds and thousands of flowers, Sept 2022 -

This is the bizarre sight in Green Park as thousands of people have descended to the central London park to leave floral tributes to The Queen. The entire park is fenced off with visitors only allowed to enter and exit at designated places. Flowers are everywhere in the park. Join the forum chat...
