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

[Voley]

I should add we've been told we can take as much time off as we want to mourn and/or go view the box

That's a 4 day weekend handed to you right there Petcha ! Result.

4 days? I need at least 6 months to get over the trauma.

 

[Petcha]

I foolishly booked the whole 10 days off before this announcement so i could get the fuck out of blighty to mourn abroad What a waste.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

it's almost as though they wanted there to be an enormous queue of 'devoted citizens'.

Of course. The spectacle is what matters. That’s how royalty works, without it there’s nothing.

 

[Petcha]

The zig zag system is blatantly designed to reduce the length of the Queue right? It's been stuck on 4.9 miles for hours now and the abort length is 5 miles. It's rigged.

Probably more interesting for your kids than saying "I can't remember but I guess I sat on my arse that day pissing about on the internet"

Why would any of us tell our kids what we did when the queen died though? It's not actually a question anyone is likely to ask.

I was refering to people in the queue not people on this thread, obvs.

I expect most of them will be disappointed about how often they get asked too.

 

[DaphneM]

Gsv was saying he saw it pointed out that there was really nothing stopping them from giving everyone a ticketed hour slot to queue up or something (as they are presumably doing for people with access needs), so it's almost as though they wanted there to be an enormous queue of 'devoted citizens'.

It’s all a conspiracy!

 

[platinumsage]

I expect most of them will be disappointed about how often they get asked too.

I doubt it because they won't wait to be asked to impart the information. I never asked my grandma what she was doing when war was declared on the wireless but she kept telling me.

Ah I remember it well, I sat glued to a live stream of some text that occasionally updated the queue length and bitched about people wasting their lives.

The BBC has breaking news that they've closed the Queue

"Mum/Dad, you weren't one of those wallies that queued all night to spend 30 seconds in the same room as a corpse? Says here some people queued for 12 hours "

"Mum/Dad, you weren't one of those wallies that queued all night to spend 30 seconds in the same room as a corpse? Says here some people queued for 12 hours "

It's currently 14 hours on the official tracker. I'm hearing rumours it's even longer in fact.

'Paused'



I predict a riot

Makes me want to go even more. It's like west-end nightclubs that deliberately slow down letting people in to make it look busy inside

 

[Petcha]

The BBC has more breaking news that a large Queue is forming in Wales though to see King Charles. Thank god.

Oh, they're also saying there's a Queue to join the Queue.

 

[magneze]

What did you do on your holiday?

Stood in a queue.

TBF everyone who goes to Disneyland/Chessington seems to say this.

Corpse isn't even in there.

Does this mean it's reached 5 miles?

 

[Hollis]

10 miles!

The Queue begins to expand at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, September 17th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

The Queue fights back.

 

[Ted Striker]

"Proclaimers now replace Elton John as the nominated band to release the now traditional memorial song with a lyric re-write of their greatest hit....""

 

[Ted Striker]

Edit, needs a bit of work

“I would wait for 500 hours and queue for 500 more just to be the man who fell down at your corpse”

“I would wait for 500 hours and queue for 500 more just to be the man who fell down at your corpse”

i would shuffle two thousand yards and i would queue four thousand more

A Queue to join a queue , what a time to be alive.

 

[Pickman's model]

A Queue to join a queue , what a time to be alive.

and to be young was very heaven

 

[SysOut]

How long was the queue at Dover?

 

[Ted Striker]

Good point. None of these Queues in Europe. Brendxit
