More worrisome for many is that it is Sunday tomorrow, and there seems to be a tradition that British Royal Deaths are often announced early Sunday mornings. :o

The Queen Mother died on a Saturday afternoon, and it was announced shortly afterwards, IIRC.

He'll have had a massive heads up though, so could have been self-isolating for months.

But they have so many flunkies to help spread it to them.

Ah, but hasn't he been living in the farmhouse with a very limited number of staff?

He seems harder to kill off than Rasputin.

He's "died" more times online than Tony Hart!

I remember that. Was in my friends dad's car he was driving a group of us to play football. The radio stopped the football commentary and started playing the national anthem ,then they announced she died. Only experienced two significant royal deaths in my lifetime Diana , Queen mother.

I was staying with my elderly stepfather.  The TV was interrupted with "We are going over to the newsroom for an important announcement" (that's pretty much the exact words they used). 

 

Old guy:  Whatever can it be?

Me (calculated guess at most likely event) : The Queen Mother's dead.

Old guy (in utter disbelief):  No!

:lol:

But I was right.  :P

I remember where I was when I heard Margaret had died - reading the breaking news bit at the bottom of the screen during a really bad episode of WWE Smackdown.

 

Can't mind when I heard about the Queen Mum.

 

Alas, I know exactly how I'll find out about Philip. Logging on here one day in the future and seeing the "Dead" tag!

Experienced none myself (Queen mother died while I was alive but don't really remember much) - wish Phil the Greek would fucking hurry up.

Diana’s death was the first big news story I ever saw breaking on the internet, it was sometime after 1am on Saturday night and I was in a chatroom and someone posted that she was in a car crash in Paris. I put the TV on and they were covering it, but saying that she had a broken arm and was otherwise not much hurt. That was still the story when I went to bed.

PM to 'address the nation' at 8.30pm tonight.

 

Just got a tingling feeling this is a royal death rather than a Corona thing.

Hmm, maybe he should be addressing the nations of the United Kingdom, otherwise Blibberwimble is being a bit vague.

 

It'll be nice to spot him, he doesn't get out much these days.

It’s not. They’re announcing curfews.

Source? I mean there's a fair chance your right but whatever.

 

Lets take punts on what more civil liberties will be curbed in the name of saving people like the 103 year old who wouldn't have died from anything else obviously?

 

- Non Essential Work?

- Walking the Dog?

- Exercise?

- Wanking?

Wanking is going to overtake fishing as the number one UK pastime for the next 6 months.

10 months from now the birth rate will be sky high as will the divorce rate.

Didn't we discuss this tactic of news broadcast being reserved solely for royal death or natural disasters years ago.
