Full on warfare in Montpellier between Morocco and French fans last night.

There's nothing as funny or predictable as football fan overreaction.

Surely we can leverage a Swiss model group stage into this somehow, for maximum lols.
Edit: dammit.

He's probably going to do what I did for Elf on the Shelf - print out some fake 20s and shred them. It took the kids about 5 seconds to work out.
To be fair, even if he shreds real money, the internet will spend hours trying to prove it was fake.

Some good lines (Ding dong merrily on Sky, oh it's not on Sky is it?). 7/10 for effort

Are you going to feel a bit gross being physically in stadia that people have died building?
By that logic, don't catch a train in the UK.

If I had the money I'd send all these people to Disney world just to hear them explode when they learn what a fast pass is.
Or isn't, considering fastpass was scrapped by Disney last year.

People saying they never queue have obviously never needed the toilet before GNR or London Marathon

What drives people to queue for so long.
If I see a queue longer than a few minutes I sack it off and leave. No idea what possesses people to just wait.
Don't ever go to Disney World.

I mean it is our fault really, we have food banks because we keep voting in a government that creates the conditions where they're necessary. Maybe we just deserve it.
It doesn't happen if we don't have a ****ing Queen Oche.
Except if we have a president. Like the Americans.
JFK's funeral was a national day of mourning, and the first one to be declared a federal holiday.

It's an actual additional bank holiday.
If they're closing the office, they need to put it in to your leave system to recognise it as a bank holiday.
Otherwise, they need to provide you the option to work.
I think this depends on your contracted position for leave.
If your contract says "x days annual leave + bank holidays" then they're wrong.
If your contract says "x days annual leave including bank holidays" then they're right.

There's a difference between that and making a statement saying that the family wouldn't want things to grind to a halt in their name. It's still up to those organisations individually how they respond.
I don't think they'd even be allowed to make that statement to be honest. The actual members of the Royal Family are pretty much pawns in the Institution's game.

He said it was an opportunity for them to gain some favour by reversing it.
But the Royal Family don't set the rules about what the Royal Family does?

Instead of abolishing the monarchy we should be more focused on trying to abolish the police force and replacing them with competent, semi-intelligent individuals.
Thing is, most competent semi-intelligent people don't want to stand and be abused by drunks in town on a Saturday night, or on a Saturday afternnon on football duties, or have bricks chucked at them for just turning up to a 999 call.

This thread's gone a bit Covid lockdown thread recently.
"How dare this enforced mourning impinge on something I want to do!"
On the other hand, can't even book a shopping delivery slot for Monday. Shambles.0 -

Surprised how little space there is between the crowd barriers and the procession here. It's like a really slow Tour de France.
And this is why the coffin is travelling to London by air.
Just imagine the scenes trackside if it went by Royal Train. It was bad enough last time Flying Scotsman was out.

Seems tied to the official, balanced and pragmatic parkrun position:
And yet there are still 67 (and rising) cancellations for tomorrow. Mostly down to landowners withdrawing permission, but a few where the run directors have taken their own decision.

I did not expect to spend all morning educating my Indian colleagues about all things related to the British Monarchy.
I'm going to get my own back at some point.0 -

I don't mean they would move the funeral back just so people can go to football
More that protocol might require a Monday-Friday funeral. Otherwise how do all the public sector employees and great offices of state pay their respects with great pomp and ceremony if they're not at work to start with?
Guardian saying it "should" be Sunday 18th September.
But in the same article they're talking about concerns London will "be full" due to mourners flocking there, and that doesn't tie in well with Sunday rail services (outside the immediate London area)

More related consequences - all barristers who are QCs, immediately become KCs, all police (and other services) force badges with EIIR insignia will need to be changed, post boxes, currency, passports and stamps changes will be phased - Charles will face the opposite direction on the coins in accordance with tradition.
They don't change post boxes, even in a planned phased manner. That's why you'll still find boxes with Royal Cyphers right back to Queen Victoria
Any new ones will have a new CIIIR Royal Cypher (except in Scotland where new post boxes haven't had royal cyphers since around 1953 because some Scottish people reacted badly to QEII being called QEII).
Covid and the running community taught me more about post boxes than I ever wanted to know

Checked BT Sports channels and all the announcement teams were in Black or dark grey, so they obviously been told before hand as you can't coordinate that well in advance.
TMS was in this thread earlier about how they had a production meeting this afternoon about it,

2026 changes: Potential Group Stage for the 48-team format
in 2022 World Cup Forum
Posted
Group Stage matchday 3 only needs three days, not six, as you will have 8 games in the day across 4 kickoff times, due to both games in the group being concurrent. Whether you'd need an extra rest day to accommodate teams playing in day 12 playing again on day 15 is debatable.
