Queen's state funeral.

[SysOut]

Who'll be there (usual gangsters), who'll be watching (the "world") and and any entertainment value it might (flybys, trips on the Thames, cannons going off, someone playing a bugel, riderless horses shrewth...)

Whatever you do, don't block out staff diaries with DEAD QUEEN as there will be complaints

I've not been paying any attention to all this royal funeral stuff. Are Fat Finger Charlie and Andy the Nonce putting her in a bin bag with some bricks and throwing her off Erith Pier?

Will it be the most watched TV event in history? Quite possibly.

i think what you're saying is there should be a swift mass boycott of the obsequies for queen elizabeth

Doubt it. There was only 2 channels and no streaming services or Blu ray at the time of the moon landing.

Don’t be silly. You can’t play a beigel!

 

[MickiQ]

I might actually unplug the telly to be on the safe side. I turned it on without thinking during various royal nuptials only to think "Shit What I Have Just Done".
Unplugging it will give me time to think.

I know. I gave up on the lessons too early, I think. But i might take it up again

 

[flypanam]

Hopefully Truss will do something comically stupid.

Saw the news last night and they expect the queue to stretch from Tower Bridge, all along the south bank and over Westminster bridge.

Fuck that.

Your first five words tell me where you’re going wrong.

Fella I share an office with has told me that he thinks Charlie is going to be a great king. I've just spent the last 5 minutes outlining my opinion that their very existence is thoroughly incompatible with notions of a democracy, their stolen lands and buildings should be seized back into public ownership, the lot of them given the boot and consider themselves lucky they won't be hung from lamp-posts as well. The office atmosphere is somewhat frosty right now.

Yet another thread on this, can we not.

And watching a box set of The Sopranos is how I'll be spending the day.

You're think of a klugelhorn - mellifluous in taste and tone

Just got to laugh when idiots being interviewed make statements like "she's been there for all my life" or "She's all I've ever known". Do these people actually listen to the stupidity that is coming out of their mouths.

 

[dessiato]

My niece has just given me a major bollocking for not being more respectful of the queen. She's also told me that, because her mother is staying with us, we WILL watch the funeral and to not do so os to show disrespect.

Fuck it. They can watch it. I'm going fishing.

 

[Voley]

Hoping for a nice day and if it is, I'll be going down the beach. Our local nudist one. As a mark of respect.

 

[Tanya1982]

The cunt Bolsonaro is coming over for it. Still, it'll be nice for Prince Andrew to have someone equally as awful to sit next to.

Got a text from the Health Board. These are usually No Reply type things, so didn’t think my response would actually send.



I expect there’ll be a knock on the door shortly.

Having avoided the Charles / Diana wedding and subsequent funeral on TV by hiding in the hills I'll be off up Dartmoor with my tent on Sunday evening also wish to avoid the 8pm clap or whatever confrontation with neighbours.
Weather forecast ( for camping on Dartmoor =good) . I don't care if it rains in London.

My son thought he was being clever by volunteering to work overtime on the day of the Sussex nuptials but some tosser brought in a portable telly and set it up on the desk next to his.

'Portable telly'? What, because there were no smartphones or streaming way back in <checks notes> 2018?
