HRH Prince Philip - Passed Away

[johnnytapia]

This is history , this will be talked about in a hundred more years , line of duty whilst good..lol :)

You think this will be talked about in one hundred years’ time- without googling I guarantee you’d struggle to talk about what was happening 10 years ago,

It’s bizarre to have the same coverage on the BBC channels and binning BBC4 don’t you think?

It’s available for people to watch, but why stop programmes on 2 out of their 3 channels?

I suppose. But there’s hundreds of other channels and Netflix, prime and other stuff to watch.
BBC is pretty much part of the royal institution so it’s little surprise they’re going to devote so much coverage for the passing of one the highest members of the Royal Family - its big news around the world , so less coverage from them would have looked more odd to me.

There was a certain FA Cup semi final that must have happened almost 10 years ago give or take a week...

I don’t think they’d have been criticised if one of their channels had devoted the following 24 hours to his life.

All of them just seems weird.

quite surprised how many are bothered by the media coverage. Does it really matter for one day ?
It’s nice to have a break from Covid dominating the news aswell

But Friday night’s my music night.

I’ve resorted to YouTube.

Hammers got promoted from the Championship more importantly

Same with all the other “death threads” where everyone dives in to offer heartfelt condolences etc. If you never knew the person spare the faux sentimental bollocks. So sorry for your loss - no your not, you don’t know them or their family so turn it in. If anyone in here knew the bloke and knew him well, fair enough, the rest is knee jerk “I must show I care” horseshit

It's like the flags. Overkill. And a focus of unity ends up a matter of division.

I blame Brexit. It had addled people's minds. "The order of things is this..." ?

Is that a criticism of me? You know I'm a sensitive soul, or maybe you don't, either ways, explain yourself or mine's a double.

I feel your pain.

I truly believe that if you did a top 100 moments of 2011 that your promotion would finish slightly lower than our semifinal victory over the rags.

Maybe put it to the test ;-)
