Queen Elizabeth II

Yes, I think they were included in the omnibus, but Thurs evening not broadcast. When the Archers goes missing, the Tower of London falls.

Thursdays episode was on BBC Sounds as usual

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Haha! Yes, I have. Every day, including all day Saturday, all day Sunday. On Ramsbottom's high street yesterday they literally had a black pudding throwing competition going on. Some fairground rides for kids too. Streets were lined with people. We stood about watching it for ages. Hundreds of families out. Everyone fine. I was out in Ribble Valley for my birthday on Saturday too. No mentions of the royal family heard in either place. People having a laugh everywhere. Couldn't be more normal. Dunno where you live, but it's certainly nothing like mournful where I've been. Just a standard weekend.

Hardly a standard weekend if City didn’t play!

Aha. I listen normally on sounds when I go to bed and was out on Thursday so listened on catch up last night. Never listen to the Omnibus. Sorry.

As part of my job I deal and work with a lot of people who you’d describe as being very left wing. I’d describe my own politics as being liberal and modern, too. I had an EU flag flying from my living room window in 2016!

But over the last few days I’ve seen some awful, cruel things being said on social media and around my workplace. Really inappropriate nasty stuff. And those on the left are supposed to be the nice, tolerant ones?

It’s all quite upsetting and overwhelming to be honest. The last time I saw such horrible things on social media was during brexit.

I’m not even a flag waving royalist. I just think people should have a bit of respect and understanding.

It’s like unless you’re a Corbyn supporting “hang them all!” socialist your opinions and feelings aren’t valid, and you’re somehow fair game to be subjected to piss taking and bullying.

I’m trying not to engage but it’s very hard. These people live in a radical left wing bubble and lots of them don’t understand that there’s a whole world and spectrum of valid opinions beyond their own.

I don’t even want to go into work today it’s that poisonous.

I was pretty upset at one of my favorite programs being cancelled, Antiques roadshow on Sunday. :)

But it was on Bill .They were in Scotland discussing a 96 year old artefact.

We have a wireless! Kept just on top of the radiogram.

He’s an expert groomer, apparently,

Probably looking after the puppies?

 

[Magicpole]

Spot on.

Common courtesy and manners do not exist for many,instead replaced by arrogance,selfishness and greed.

Being rude,ignorant or impolite are things guaranteed to see me go from 0-100.

Snap.

When I was at Uni I worked part time in a Bookshop. One day this snooty woman came to the till. She had bought 3 cheap books and the price was £3. She took 3 single pound notes and dropped them one by one on the counter. I looked straight at her with a look of fury. Picked up the notes one by one, put them in the till one by one. Put each book into a single bag and dropped them, one by be on the counter. You should have seen her face. I just stared her out, she picked them up and left. The manager of the shop was standing beside me and gave me a look.

I don’t take that shit off anybody. I told him.

He just shook his head and smiled.

Manners cost nothing. She may have been snooty, but she had zero fucking class.

Same.

Spent all of Saturday and Sunday painting my new house. We've had deliveries from Currys and IKEA, we've been to B&Q at least twice a day, we've walked from our current flat to the new place, back and forth. Went to the cinema on Saturday night and it was packed. Kids are out playing in the streets, there was even a girl riding an actual horse down the road outside my new house. Took a trip to the nearest high street to the new place and every business was rammed, the cafés especially. The only thing that stood out as a bit odd to me is that the Indian restaurant down the road was quieter than normal, though I imagine that has more to do with the cost of living crisis.

Some random black idiot cherry picking responses from random idiotic white people, this shows just how much of a stain that social media is.

The wankstain at 4 minutes has even got a cross around his neck and he mentions sycophancy.

How does wearing a cross make him sycophantic?

 

[Blue and true]

I’ve read some crap on here these last few days, but this is up there with the best. You’ve obviously not been out of the house and since last Wednesday.

Every word he said is correct. I'm yet to meet a single person who is that bothered. Even my missus, who was a fan of the Queen, said she thinks it's been sensationalised. The BBC's coverage over this has been an outrage; flagrant propaganda.

I don't doubt that some are, but frankly, I'd consider the majority that are to be well on their way to being considered "old" and have grown up surrounded by this deifying of one woman who ostensibly did nothing to change people's lives.

 

[Elbow beards]

Now reporting people will be slowing walking for 30 hours in a queue just to see the coffin. Fucking madness.

 

[Blue and true]

I gave it twenty seconds, it was very weird what with the “presenter” eating food and giggling. You don’t half spend your time watching some shit if you think that’s worth sharing with others.

And I gave the BBC coverage twenty seconds before leaving the room. Funny how perceptions work, isn't it?

Well, if people are keen enough to stand in a line for 30 hours to see a coffin, good luck to them.

I think they are eligible to be certified, but you could argue it's only like queuing up for FA Cup Final tickets
at Maine Road back in the day. Some people will make sacrifices that others will never understand.

Were their presenters eating food too?

No. What's your point?

 

[Nethermoor]

Not a huge royalist, but it was sad. I shed a tear. I liked her, she was funny to watch on TV and a constant presence.

My daughter who's 7 was upset too. We went to church and signed the book of remembrance together and lit a candle. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have done it, but I felt like it was a nice thing to do and something she wanted to do and will likely remember.

For the funeral we're having a family get together. I'm mainly doing it for my Grandma who's 94. She loved the queen and the two ladies are similar in wit and personality (from as much as i understand of the queen).

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Large queues in Edinburgh already to pass by the coffin. The church doesn't open until 5pm and is open for 24 hours. Expected queue time is 9 hours

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

More like ‘what’s yours?’. I was commenting on the annoying style of the presenter and you replied about something else it seems.

Ah right, apologies.
