Well it's that or those boring stories about Wednesday again, before they were in The Conference North

Nah, like I said last night she's stuffed in a ditch in Balmoral. Or still alive in Windsor

It's enough to make you meloncoly

This is how I feel, it's too far to go to, then queue for any length of time, but if it came down dramatically over the weekend I'd consider it

Personally I'll be glad when it's all over, every post I find myself agreeing with Oche is like a dagger through my heart and I can't take much more of that

Oi, don't tar all geriatrics with the same brush. The worst over reactions aren't those moaning about the whole ceremonial pomp, it's the nonsensical reaction from the businesses and organisations (which to remake yesterday's round and round the houses, you can't blame the Royals for). And absolutely agree, having been through the nightmare that is cancer care, I can't imagine my reaction if we were told a week in advance that potentially life extending treatments were delayed or cancelled because someone wanted to watch a funeral. I'd probably create a few more funerals tbh.

She’ll have been embalmed to the max, be like a Madam Tussaud's dummy, or Prince Andrew

You and me both, she's in a ditch in Balmoral. Or alive and gone into hiding in Windsor Castle

And then you actually miss the event because you're staring at your own phone. Baffling

I could ‘sort of’ understand it, for the feeling / emotion / historical moment of it, IF you could walk straight in, have a mooch and go, but **** queuing for hours and hours to do it. The BBC are streaming it, (there was over 20k watching that earlier!) surely thats better than standing in a queue for 24 hours

She comes back Charles will be pissed

Tbf how much more sombre do you want? Rochdale?

Be a huge surge now as everyone leaves The Mall and Whitehall

For years tbh

Hell. Has. Frozen. Over

I was thinking that when they set off, perhaps they shift Vicky 60 feet to the left and have a double roundabout

God is a Royalist

The Co-Op

In other news, Centre Parcs have reversed their decision from earlier

I thought the people involved in this mornings argument handled themselves much better tbh Agreement??? Silly old tw@t!!

It looks like the woman BBC breakfast interviewed really early this morning, if it is, she’s cuddling a teddy bear, and she’s taking the bear to see ‘another Bear lover’. I’ve been standing up for all of this pomp and circumstance all week, but by god, these people are barking

Now I understand why you moved to Boston, you tea stealing inbred colonial scum. There isn’t a drop of pure German blood in your veins, you have no connection to Ze Glorious Third Reich, errrrr Royal Family

I started queuing in 1968, my life is ruined but dammit I’ll have that armband

They get armbands with their queue place on them, so they can use a portaloo they go back and queue

The rest of your post is very good, but then you do exactly what you accuse me of by deciding that anyone who doesn’t agree with you is smallminded, and everything being done this week is for the benefit of ‘nonce protectors’ Again, I haven’t decried any of the protest viability or the constitution right to do it, it’s not the best of times or locations imo, but each to their own, and from your own linked article The plan was updated three times a year through a meeting involving government department officials, the police, and broadcasters. No mention of monarch involvement. Anyway you and I don’t agree and we’re hijacking the thread, I suggest we leave it there, as we both think we’re right, and one isn’t convincing the other in any way But just one last bit for my ‘attempted mic drop’ there you are sadly wrong, I do genuinely hope your mother leads a long and active life, mine did, but it’s still painful to lose them when the time comes, whether they are 46, 66 or 96
