They do the national anthem before all ice hockey games down here. I always stay sitting. f**k em

The Chicxulub impact killed off two thirds of the world's plant and animal life, but this funeral is "the most important event the world has ever seen".

His Imperial Vajesty or something like that...

Apparently it's still allowed... https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/pet-stores-online-dealers-selling-13994677

Yeah. I like a lot of Ricky Gervais' material both with and without Stephen Merchant. It's unfortunate that he seems to be such a gimp.

Bit boring lads

She put the word f**k on there which gives them a (shit) excuse unfortunately. Someone also got arrested in Oxford when they read the proclamation for shouting "who elected him?".

I was the guy at the back of the costume

25% of Brits and rising apparently support it.

This post and one of @Monkey Tennis's above describe things perfectly. Thank f**k there's still P&B at a time like this.

Some c**t has left a marmalade sandwich from the Angel of Death...

Aye, they have saved it over for his first day as King to get some good PR in early doors. Such manipulative c***s.

Presumably not involving this photo:

Not exactly - there's a competition in Scotland between the British and Scottish identities, which means neither is ever truly dominant, and there's probably something of a void between the two for each person to fill in themselves. The monarchy is central to the mainstream British identity but isn't really a part of the Scottish identity. In contrast, in England there's almost no differentiation between British and English - it's a unity of messaging which leaves very little space for anything else. Probably the only time English people will differentiate between British and English is during an international football tournament, and what song do they play before every England game? GSTfuckingQ. So even if an English person feels more English than British the chances are they will still identify with the monarchy. And so will everyone around them, regardless of their political inclinations on other issues. That's just not the case in Scotland. There's basically no opportunity for someone south of the border to identify with their homeland without also identifying with the royals.

It's very different down here in England to what it's like in Scotland. Regular normal people genuinely felt like they knew her (ffs). Even my most lefty of friends are all saying shit like "am against the monarchy but I admired her as a person" or at worst "I just don't think now is the time to criticise. It's always sad when someone dies". The media is definitely perpetuating it, but it does appear the majority of English people feel some degree of sorrow. Not like if your granny died but maybe your granny's friend who you liked seeing. Then there are a lot who do have stronger feelings than that. There's probably a third who are properly gutted and two thirds who quite liked her and feel a bit of sadness. Sorry, appreciate that's not very clear.

Won't come to that if the defendant has a good KC.

My RE teacher had his nipple bit off by a horse.

Black duct tape...

Now trying to call her Elizabeth the Great ffs.

Standing room only at the ice rinks this weekend

Naw, she died yesterday.

Now trying to get us to capitalise "mourning". Literally no end to their attempts at mind control I have to wonder if people genuinely feel moved to do all this shit or just enjoy the theatre of it and the feeling of history.
