FTFY.

I believe you soft Sassenach arse is being the cunt. For no good reason. I am a supporter of the Royals. It is a national tragedy that we have lost our Queen. It has shown the best of Scotland from the speech by the King to the service in St Giles. If it was open casket, I could see the point of waiting 12 hours. That was my point. Your attempt at cancel culture would be best directed at Patrick Harvie co-leader of the Greens, whose speech I found verging on, if not crossing the line of disrepectful. I have nothing but affection for the late Sovereign, but not to the point of your blind devotion, quick to take offence and slow to realise when you are wrong. I find your comment sincerely lacking in the qualities of Her Maj, to which we should all aspire.

All he was doing was opening up new pork markets...Truss'll tell you...

Was on Buzzcocks and Not Going Out only in the past year I think. This is a huge shock. Most significant Grange Hill death of the year.

Bernard Shaw the CNN anchor? Anyhoo, if only the Wombles had been chosen for the Jubilee rather than Paddington....

Projected wait at St Giles, Edinburgh to see a box. 12 hours. As they say in these parts, get tae fuck, man.

Already looking forward to Monarch Week...

I'll have a big cheese with a mini-budget and a diet electricity bill please. Seriously, get on with it Truss And Co!

And only then...wait a minute....

Definitely a last century kind of guy. Think I'm placeable for those who have been here a while. I can certainly remember Mr Baxter's TV specials.

John Perez, drummer who formed The Premiers with his brother and who had a Stateside #19 in August 1964 on the Billboard chart with Farmer John, reportedly dead:

As I understand it, spouses were not invited, but if Privy Councillors there was a limited number of invitations.

There's always the possibility of mass human extinction this century. That might edge it. If only they'd listened to Charles..

Looks like I'm Harry's only fan hereabouts. Perfectly entitled to reject the life he was born into, imo. Being a second child meself... Ah, well, I was the only one to cheer on McEnroe at Wimbledon every year, look at his rehabilitation. If Harry wants to go off and make a life, that's up to him. A rejection of public life doesn't mean a rejection of his family, and we are seeing that today. Plus, Harry has a fantastic arse....

Always a big death round about my birthday in some days time. Just saying, I know Truss has been busy but...

Benefit of getting in first with a musical reference. Ta!

Well, as the Duchess of Cornwall is now Kate Cambridge (nee Middleton), we are going to have to change the title of this thread, dedicated to the future memory of Camilla.
