Queue Watch: Dedicated BBC Queue Tracking discussion and analysis - HRH Her Majesty the Queen (Dec'd)

The Grieving Centipede

Grieving Conga line.

 

[Sweet FA]

It's going to be a really boring queue too. No booze, spliff and bantz, no music or larks, just hardcore mourn. Very dull.

 

[Plumdaff]

They should all least have people go past the coffin on a log flume after a wait like that.

 

[Pickman's model]

I hope they kick off if the lying in state is closed before they've all filed past

 

[clicker]

Tbh that's moving at a not bad pace. I kept thinking of it as a 3 mile stationary queue waiting for something.
If she was a bus ,there'd be two along any minute.

 

[Ted Striker]

Providing the length (what spectacle, oooh let's discuss on social media ) of the queue and not the duration (which would be actually informative) is everything wrong with this country

(Well, not everything, but...).

At least the 21st-century state lyers didn’t pop their clogs in winter:

Inner City Queuing

How do they know the body is actually in the box?

Would it matter if it wasn't?

 

[killer b]

It wouldn't matter, any more than it mattering if those really are piece of the true cross, or that really is the shroud Jesus was wrapped in.

 

[skyscraper101]

Blimey. Currently up at 4.2 Miles. I thought queueing up outside Rough Trade East on Record Store Day was a ball ache. This is next level dull.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

I wonder how long the queue would be of all the people waiting to have NHS treatment?

 

[danny la rouge]

What can we do while all these people are out of the way? Can we hold a snap election on something?

 

[Elpenor]

There is one thing this queue is missing and that’s a visit from Cliff to sing some cheery songs.

 

[smmudge]

A Facebook friend stood in it last night. He doesn't really strike me as someone who cares that much about the Queen. So think some people are just in it to say they did, and to brag about it on Facebook.

Wonder if anyone will do it 7 times like that woman in Edinburgh?

 

[Sue]

Can we drive past with something that emits gamma rays and sterilise the fucking lot of them? I think that would solve a lot.

Joking. Not joking.

I've just arrived in Beziers, (in)famous for the massacre of its inhabitants by Papal forces trying to stamp out Catharism. 'Kill them all, God will know His own' kind of thing. Made me think of The Queue for some reason.

Joking. Not joking.

 

[Hollis]

Interesting development - the queue tracker now has a featured 'Estimated Queing Time'.

Based on data available as at 16:45 we can calcuate that the queue is currently moving at 0.466 mph.

 

[zora]

4.5! Bermondsey Beach!

What were those raves on the bank of the Thames called? Few hours of madness before the tide came back in

 

[Hollis]

Now up to 4.6 miles.. this'll be all the after-work chancers figuring making an evening of it..

 

[moochedit]

I guess the queue will be going half way up my street in coventry by the end of tommorow?

 

[Poot]

If anyone fancies a bit of house burglary, definitely target the houses with half mast flags and pictures of the Queen in the windows; they'll be out for some time.

 

[Artaxerxes]

I wonder how long the queue would be of all the people waiting to have NHS treatment?

150 miles according to everydoctor or one of those Twitter accounts

 

[Hollis]

We are now tantalisingly close to 5 miles..

 

[killer b]

What happens after they reach 5 miles? Do they heave anyone else who turns up into the Thames?

 

[Karl Masks]

They weep the country into a black hole
