  1. I read on twitter this morning that the 5b figure was literally just made up by some spoof account, and has then been seized on without any sort of fact checking / application of common sense by various outlets who just repeated it. Although Lindsay Hoyle probably thinks it should have been higher than merely 5b given the earth shattering importance.
  2. Dunno, maybe semantics here somehow? If you hate it or maybe even find it offensive are you really going to say that you grudgingly respect what a terrific show of pomp it all was?
  3. Well no, the key part here is not that news sources are paying attention, it's that people around the world are impressed. That they think it's a great show and think the UK is "doing it well." Really?
  4. Confident statement this. What elements of it are "putting on a good show"? There seems to be a potentially unfounded assumption that the rest of the world is looking on and is somehow impressed in many quarters here. Huge parts of the world must be a) not looking on or b) find it utterly cringeworthy and outdated and a horrendous waste of money, time and resources.
  5. It's worse when you're in the country and it's all being passed off as normal.
  6. Could start a bingo game with folk they interview from the queue. - History - She meant a lot me/us - Wouldn't miss this - Feel it's a duty - She did so much for us/the country - It's a bit longer / shorter than expected - I've travelled from <x>
  7. Apropos of nothing recent in the conversation, the banter today referring the the BBC as Mournhub is top notch.
  8. Oh my word. Have the police arrested the people actually whooping and hollering outside Buckingham Palace as the hearse went past? Far more deserving of it. What the hell. Such a weird response.
  9. Now there's a woman in Edinburgh who's "been round" 7 times. That's a lot of respect being paid.
  10. There was a woman who's started informally queuing interviewed last night who is there "because they say it could be a 30 hour wait" to get in. So you're showing up 3 days early to avoid that 30 hour wait. Gotcha
  11. Enjoyed the drama of that. Camilla's first signature must be a state the way she was holding it. Bet they were practicing their new signatures with the R last night.
