Not really appreciating the BBC telling everyone how they should be feeling.

How should we be feeling?

I mean, it's a Friday so it's a work day for most.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Yeah, I do hope Charles, given his known interest in environmental issues, can use his influence to sort out stopping all the sewage that's currently going into our waterways.

Of course he'll be up against the profiteers of the tory party and the water companies so I won't hold by breath.

That's exactly what you should do, if they don't get it sorted.

She then grew up

It being famously grown up to be obsessed with kings and princesses.

Second day of Bargain Hunt being cancelled.

 

[chiefdave]

They’ve dropped in a picture of the Queen on all of our desktops.

That's got to be someone in IT taking the piss.

Commercial Radio had either melodic music by likes of Coldplay (!) or broadcast Pierce Morgan on Talk TV ! It was a total embarrassment referring constantly to scandal and the problems in her family life within an hour of her death. I'm not a royalist but that was in incredibly bad taste and I bet they received massive complaints. BBC have handled it impeccably, and balanced it nicely with respect and constant battle of a few public bandwagoners trying to get on TV in background !

Justin Trudeau and President Macron have paid some amazingly wonderful tributes and interviews in respect of Queen.

Then there was Truss's formal address which had the heart felt emotions of her cheese and pork market speeches. Her disrespect of Macron and France the other day has not aged at all well.

Not sure now is the time to judge how people respond of any political persuasion...

Anyway, Poundland have the tribute sewn up

What have Wasps said? Just tell me so I can call them cunts.

 

[Philosoraptor]

There's a hell of lot more to this than the death of the Queen. It is the conditioning of a nation to accept the smooth transfer of power from one generation to the next. North Korea would be very proud of this.

Whilst I admit, Queenie did a good job in doing nothing other than opening a few glorified supermarkets, just like the other one who died did. It is not the people which I have the disdain for, but the whole idea of being the subject of a group of people which I can't join unless I marry into it, or have the same bloodline.

A Constitutional Monarchy is a wholly archaic concept which should be sent to the scrapheap of history.

Almost word for word what City said!

Telegraph seem to think the funeral will be on a Monday rather than Sunday

Must be something about Sundays - I guess it being a 'holy' day. I think if the 10th day fell on a Sunday (depends if you count yesterday or today as Day 1), then the funeral would revert to Monday.

My daughter has just pointed out that new money will have Charles face on and was just thinking how it won’t look right, almost like foreign money. Stamps too.

As we move towards a cashless society Charles could be the last monarch to have his face on money

Nothing from Brantano though yet? Concerning

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It is all complete bananas isn’t it?
Never change sbt
Desktop pics
Counselling numbers

I asked a good friend who was crying what he was upset about as for me the institution underpins the hideous class nature of our society and embeds the privilege of the few at the expense of the many
His reply was excellent
He pointed out that her privilege compared to us is similar to our privilege compared to billions around the world

She used her privilege for good
How do I use mine was my response ??

I like my friends think differently to me

 

[Philosoraptor]

I wouldn't be surprised if most sport grinds to a halt over the weekend.

The peasants must be shown who is in charge of the country and show their respect.

CCFC = Legends
Wasps = Pretentious Pricks who don't really care

Use of cash has increased significantly since the cost of living crisis. Some way to go yet.

 

[Johnnythespider]

There's a chap who's been shown in the loop on bbc news, who when asked what the queen means to him replies that he sees her as the same as his own mother, i mean come on, that's just ludicrous.

 

[clint van damme]

Wonder if she had any bonds?

Funeral likely to be the 19th - no sport today - PL and EFL to announce decision on tomorrow’s play today

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

"His Majesty The King" sounds weird as fuck

Courtiers in 1788 during the madness of George III

Funeral likely to be the 19th - no sport today - PL and EFL to announce decision on tomorrow’s play today

Apparently the EFL sent some guidance to clubs at 9.30am. EPL meeting with DCMS started 10 mins ago.

Announcements expected lunchtime, potentially as early as midday.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Hoping sport remains on (business aside) as I've got hospitality at Wentworth tomorrow for the BMW PGA Golf.

It is and much like the Diana stuff we need to decide who we want to be in our everyday lives not just when we are shunted into a shared grief experience

The 19th is my birthday. If they hold a state funeral on the same day it's really going to interfere with the nothing I had planned for the day

.....I'd be tempted to now got all out with balloons, bouncy castle, karaoke, family conga down the street......

All EFL/EPL games cancelled this weekend.

Paging Nick...

 

[Deleted member 9744]

I am tempted to try to arrange a last minute holiday to somewhere sane for the next week. If only so many flights weren't cancelled. Euorstar prices seem to have suddenly gone up.

 

[Nick]

Paging Nick...

Hope the fucking bridge does fall down with all the noncey executive pricks on it. Cunts.

 

[SBT]

We need to figure out what we are because if it isn’t an imperial power and it isn’t the bridge between US and EU I’m not sure what it is.

Bankers, barristers and cultural exports basically. Like Singapore, but with a Premier League/Harry Potter/James Bond theme park in the middle.

How should we be feeling?

I mean, it's a Friday so it's a work day for most.

Apparently completely devastated and flocking to Buckingham Palace, plus the usual "I'm more upset than you" people on the TV.

I'm in a sombre mood today, it's a huge moment in history, but like you say it's a normal work day for most people.

I look forward to being told I don't have to pay tax for a week so I can mourn.

Taking away things people enjoy is just going to piss people off.
