It won't be the 20th (at least I hope not) as that's when a lot of disability benefits like PIP and DLA get paid and if its a bank holiday (and Tuesdays usually are never bank holidays for this very reason) then vulnerable people already struggling with both disability and the cost of living crisis may go without a months payment. 

If a benefit payment is due on a bank holiday they'd just pay it the previous working day.

Maybe my humour is way out there but it sort of amuses me to think that it's sad that Liz can't see that people kinda liked her. If the flowers and all at Buck Palace are anything to go by, and the words from random people...and the fact they cancelled all the bloody sport as a mark of respect.

I think she's be a bit annoyed that there was no footy at the weekend...bet she was a Chelsea fan.

Maybe some of you believe she's up there lookimng down on us. Possibly saying, can't you put a bloody film on instead of all this talk about me, and ain't Boris a buffon.

 

Not too soon to have a bit of a laugh about it, is it? :stop:

My friends son has had his football match cancelled in the morning, but basketball in the afternoon is going ahead 


I do think it’s interesting as instead of respect it’s just making lots of kids and parents across the country think it’s a nonsense which isn’t really great for the short and long term view of the monarchy

Is it just me or are we actually seeing a human side to our polticians with their speeches in the Commons today?

I actually quite enjoyed the speeches of Boris and May.

God, am I getting old? I wear slippers...I'll have a pipe and a labrador next.

I agree with the people that say there are more important things than football, of course there is. But I don’t understand what us people that aren’t wringing our hands and blubbing into our commemorative Jubilee mugs are expected to do for the next two weeks with events being cancelled left, right and centre?

 I’m still supposed to go to work as normal but then what, sit at home mourning until they say it’s okay to be happy again? Is there a guide for what activities are disrespectful and which aren’t?

Bit annoying football is off but I only lost £26, which I will save on having less pints and train travel anyway. Annoying but ah well.

If I was in charge of the football, I'd have played as a mark of respect. I think it is more disrespectful to not play really.
I think the Rugby is still going ahead so if you have BT Sport you can watch Exeter Chiefs vs Leicester Tigers for this weekend's sport fix. Huddersfield Giants vs Salford Red Devils is on Channel 4 at 1pm too if League is more your thing.

I'm not surprised that they all have huge respect for her. I think many of us would have more respect for them if they showed the same care and compassion for everyone else in the country.

I don't think Boris was having a dig at the BBC at all, more painting a picture of his emotion over it all.

Say what you like about Boris (and I cannot stand him) - but that speech he just gave was incredible. It brought me to tears for the first time throughout this.

Have to agree with this, I despise Boris with all my fibre, but that was some speech, even Harriet Harman congratulated him on it.

Completely agree, his was by far the best speech.

Witchell does have an iritating way of speaking. It's like Clive Everton doing the snooker but not necessary for tension and less rivetting. So many sentences have words drawn out in some kind of drama building excercise.

 

The way he said that. "The firing of these death gun salutes" drawn out to take 4 minutes and 32 seconds, almost

So, how will the fpl deadline work? Will it just be extended until the next round of matches?

When they take place in about 8 weeks... :brock:

Blame the premier league and EFL, it was left to individual organisations. Rugby is off today and on tomorrow/Sunday 

I do, the first two often treat the fans with contempt. No club football till 1st October. Jesus.

BT still not showing adverts...just switched over to Sky (to see what was going on in cricket) and they had first an advert for viagra and then winter sun holidays...

...senseless brutes :kriss:

All money for Murdoch.

Truss must be sitting there thinking they were much better than hers.

To be fair, they had several more anecdotes than her to regale.

For PM Truss, it was basically, met her once then she died. Was never going to be great.

She could have said "I was wondering if it was something I said". Might have gotten a laugh
