Ah, that's better. 10 minutes later PR announce the death and say they'll be replacing the day's usual programming. Ah, bollox. Half an hour later, we've had When a Blind Man Cries, some classical dirge, and now Planet Caravan. This might not be too much to endure for the sake of an extra holiday, tbf. Reminds me of the day Diana died...i had a whole day in a tractor (hairst time) and every radio station was playing solemn music...it was horrendous. Just put on the wireless to hear the Covid briefing (not sure if there was one plkanned anyway but BBC Scotland are just using some Radio 4 nonsense which I take it is being played on all channels....look if I want to hear about some 99 yar old man dying I might tune into Radio 4 but absolutely no reason for every channel to cover it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a great song though. Now playing Miss You.. I like a bit of Aerosmith, but not appropriate at all when we're having a wee, "one less parasite" good day. Any good news is welcome these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Shame - if only he'd hung on a bit longer til he was 100 then he'd have gotten a card from the Queen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans on Toast Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I really don't get the mindset of people who get upset by this. Even if you ignore the many, many, many examples of his racist behaviour, it's a 99 year old man, who you didn't know, who has died. Shame for his family, but that should be it. Yet you know there'll be scores of folk outside the Palace crying like they knew him because Barbara here met him in 1992 and he was a lovely man. f**k off Barbara. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just had Little Wing - I love a bit of Laid-back Jimi on a sunny Friday. ..and now some poor work-experience kid is reading out his Wikipedia page. Time to pop into the nick and look busy, methinks. One thing screws do well is have some cracking jokes whenever someone notable throws a seven.

Rangers, about to impose a social media silence because of racism, using social media to mourn a racist, minter. Again, Rangers were never imposing a social media silence on the clubs account. It's the players and the staff taking the silence, as per the statement released yesterday. Rangers tweeted the press conferences this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The TV Guide website has just amended its schedule. It seems that ITV has cancelled its Aintree coverage this afternoon. FFS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
