Not all there to pay their respects apparently

I did queue for two hours once to get a book signed by Buzz Aldrin. But he walked on the moon. The fucking moon, And I'm glad I can say I once interacted with a man who walked on the moon.

None of them are there to “pay their respect”. A mix of rubbernecking and snivelling bootlicking.

And now one-up-manship on how long they queued.

Total made up nonsense from years ago of course

Video of naked man falling to death from Buckingham Palace is from American TV show, not real

Following the death of Elizabeth II, a video of a naked man climbing down the walls of the London royal residence using a bedsheet has been making the rounds online.

This is not a sign of a healthy society

It’s a sign of an absurd society. I think with so many things changing at the moment, and not generally for the better, a great many people associated the Queen with a kind of stability.
Now she’s gone too, everything’s getting a little scary.

One outcome of this is that it makes those people who queue outside madame tussauds for an hour seem like sensible people with interesting lives

14k+ people watching it mid morning today.

A DARKENED ROOM. A MAN IS HUNCHED OVER A BANK OF DULLY GLOWING TELEVISION SCREENS AND COMPUTER MONITORS.

GRADUALLY WE SEE THAT WEATHERED AND LINED THOUGH HIS FACE IS, THIS IS A MAN YOUNGER THAN HIS WEARY VISAGE INITIALLY ADVERTISES.

"FOURTEEN.... FOURTEEN THOUSAND VIEWERS...?!"

HE SAYS THE WORDS AGAIN, PRODDING AND TESTING EACH SYLLABLE, AS IF EVERY ONE IS ALIEN TO HIM.

"FOURTEEN THOUSAND!"

A FAINT UPTURN AT THE EDGES OF HIS MOUTH THREATENS TO SHAVE YEARS OFF HIS PREMATURELY-AGED APPEARANCE, AS HIS STRAIGHTENS UP AND REACHES FOR A RELEPHONE TO THE SIDE OF HIS DESK.

"SWITCHBOARD? PUT ME THROUGH TO MRS GRIMES... TELL HER TO GO WAKE DARREN UP - I THINK I'VE GOT AN IDEA THAT CAN SAVE US!"

HE REPLACES THE RECEIVER AND SMILES TO HIMSELF.

A MOMENT PASSES, BEFORE THE BRIEF FLICKERING OF REBORN YOUTHFULNESS SINKS BACK INTO SUNKEN-EYED TERROR AS HE FRANTICALLY SEIZES THE PHONE, HOLLERING...

"TELL HER TO KNOCK FIRST... FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, KNOCK FIRST, MRS GRIMES!"

Someone just now willingly joined the queue knowing (that according to estimate) they'll be in it until 6:40 pm tomorrow.

That's the reality we currently live in.

Brexit, Trump, Boris, Covid, The Queue.

The theory that we are living in a simulation isnt seeming quite as wacko to me as it used to.

I didn't think a simulation would be this shit.

I think our society is going to fall apart.

In the next couple of weeks?

As long as shit holds together long enough for my washing machine to be fixed on Monday it can go full spectrum Thunderdome-and-Threads afterwards

 

[Gromit]

Queue estimate is now 24 hours.

That's 24 hours of continuous movement without rest or sleep.

People are willingly participants in a Guantanamo bay torture simulation.

 

[Numbers]

God Save The Queue.

Two socks enter.

One sock leaves!

Someone I know from school has posted that he queued for 13 hours last night. I am so happy but I have so many questions that I can’t ask him because he doesn’t have much sense of humour

Would he have bought a ‘God Save The Queue’ t-shirt if someone was selling them? Mrs N and I were talking about such an enterprise earlier.

Is this the greatest queue in this country’s history?

 

[BoatieBird]

Someone I work with queued alongside David Beckham for 11 hours, so Beckham didn't queue jump.
Work colleague was in shot when Beckham was on the news, I hope for his sake he booked the day off and wasn't claiming to be 'working from home'

 

[moomoo]

Is this the greatest queue in this country’s history?

Yes!!! It’s the best thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life!!

I’d buy a ‘God save the queue’ tee shirt for sure! Not convinced my friend would though…

 

[Numbers]

Becks did look knackered when he entered the hall, as do most people.

We’re loving watching it. Earlier there was a Native American guy with full Chief headdress. He looked great.
