Queue Watch: Dedicated BBC Queue Tracking discussion and analysis - HRH Her Majesty the Queen (Dec'd)
- Thread starter Hollis
- Start date
You could get lucky, but the chances of being stuck behind some gammon moaning about Megan for 8 hours is pretty high.
And what's with them sharing it as a youtube stream rather than just a bloody website page? Makes no sense at all - like having a live stream of flight arrival times. I'm also annoyed they're pushing that stupid what 3 words bollocks too which is proprietary/closed sourced. I wonder which tory donor has an investment in that?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...).
They've basically broken the world into a grid of 1m squares and assigned each one a 3 word short code, the idea it's easier to say Horse.Battery.Staple than 123 Some Street, Some Town, SW1 1AA or give a grid reference. It's a simple idea but unfortunately relies on a private company that's going to charge for access once it's established, so shit like this helps it get established and then in a years time they'll be charging the gov a fee every time some one calls 999 and uses it to describe their location. It's utter bollocks and the kind of thing that should be open source or not used.

Now that might make it all worth it.
Went to those!What were those raves on the bank of the Thames called? Few hours of madness before the tide came back in
Reclaim the beach? I recall it being said there was a gap in jurisdiction between river police and met which created a loop hole. I imagine they'd just team up to slap you about now.What were those raves on the bank of the Thames called? Few hours of madness before the tide came back in

Not even bread and circuses, a few rancid crumbs rolled in shit and a bunch of horrible clowns, seems to be enough for a lot of people if you stick the royal seal of approval on it.

MPs skipping in front of the proles is everything this country stands for, and I'm sure the cap doffers in the queue are delighted to see their betters scoot ahead.

What if the queen was on a little track to go around the queue?

She liked trains. It’s what she would have wanted.

Why? Aren’t they observing the full period of mourning?

I'll admit I'm finding looking at the BBC live feed of the hall now and then quite interesting - I guess I was a bit curious to see what the arrangement was, though a million miles away from being interested enough to go. I guess you don't get the 'atmosphere', but I think the feed will be enough for most people.
Interesting that I'd say a preponderance of older women (ie, my age and up) seem to be there.

Could put the casket on one of those fun trains you get at the seaside or at theme parks. But this would be a glum train.

No harm in a few loops and dips, surely?
Should pick out at pub chucking out time.We've been stuck on 4.9 miles for the last 3 1/2 hours now.

I'm not saying Britain has hit rock bottom but we should definitely be aware its visible.

Is an intervention needed?
