Vinegar Tits 606 Posted April 9, 2021 Cripes! Sad if not unexpected news. Genuinely sorry for The Queen. State funeral I presume? And with lockdown ending I guess there'll be crowds. Actually, I can see people gathering round Buckingham Palace now - would the police really threaten to arrest them on such an occasion? And good to see the DL servers have not crashed this time - they did when Thatcher died, EDIT - FFS, just noticed I didn't have him in my DDP. Still, not many points...

(P.S.: Watch the guest count explode) Zsa Zsa and Prince Phillip reunited in heaven if rumours of them having an affair are true. Zsa Zsa lived 12 days longer than Philip, Zsa Zsa lived for 36,475 days compared to Phillips 36,463 days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YouOnlyDieOnce 89 Posted April 9, 2021 More importantly, those lazy buggers milking furlough will be missing out on a day off for the funeral. So we can expect the Queen's face to look more like a bag of spanners than usual, especially as the "countdown" for her has just started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A great day to hand out thousands of £200 fines without having to travel very far.

deathisallaround 21 Posted April 9, 2021 Interesting to note how the TV stations handle it. Bbc 1 and 2 have cut to BBC news (although obviously in that time where they can't get hold of their 'paid experts' yet, as they keep speaking to some unknown Royal reporter for a newspaper). ITV cut to ITV news. Channel 4 still showing Couples Come Dine with Me! Channel 5 has gone for a programme about his life with a large black banner across the top of the screen announcing his death.

Not shocking, but as time went on, it felt like it would never happen! Think Martine's stunned she's the one who ended up on duty when it was announced. She must have a million things being yelled in her ear and it's all quite stunted. Was probably always going to be the case, though. 5 minutes ago, YouOnlyDieOnce said: That'll now put her in pole position, perhaps another day off this year? I've no idea what impact it will have on the Queen. It will, of course, be devastating to her, but it is not wholly unexpected, and I suspect it's been a managed decline over the fortnight or so he's been home from hospital, so she'll have been preparing for it. I wouldn't put any money on her going this year, fully expect another Christmas message from HM. Oh, and of course Rest in Peace, Your Royal Highness. A life of service with an appropriately low-key end. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I've said before, he took the piss out of everybody, he was an equal opportunities offender I don't think he was a racist at all. He and the Queen were meeting people from all nations, races, religions, you name it, they were probably more open-minded than the average white UK citizen back in the day. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,282 Posted April 9, 2021 RIP - we got over 70 years service out of him and unlike some others on here bore him no animosity. Unlike lots of others thought he was good for another year and think I failed to pick him anywhere...silly me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
