The wall to wall coverage, the public grief, the processions. Not a bit surprised. No, but when you're captured by WaffenThinMint, spending a month trapped in a basement with him stroking your hair and fattening you up with expensive delicacies, you're still allowed to complain when the inevitable happens and he flays you alive for his skin suit.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Known – and feared – throughout the cabin crew community, Cilla Black’s in-flight attitude is the stuff of legend. Not only would she insist upon travelling first class, she’d demand seat 1A. That was only the first of many demands too – all of which were made through her PA, as Cilla didn’t want to speak to any staff herself. The full nine yards too, not so much as a please or thank you. One flight attendant eventually grew so tired of her behaviour, that he leaned over to speak directly to her and uttered the immortal line: “I knew you couldn’t sing, but I didn’t know you couldn’t fucking speak”. https://popbitch.com/black-out/She was also an example of Tory vermin.

btb Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I see one Labour MP has broken ranks and said the unsayablle.... Quote The notion of the royal family as symbols of duty or sacrifice to the nation is “a lie” and is at the centre of a deeply unequal UK, a senior Labour MP has argued, breaching Keir Starmer’s order to his party to stay silent before the Queen’s funeral on Monday.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Estimated waiting time in the queue is now 24 hours!I don't know why they didn't have an online booking system.Perhaps it's the inner masochist of your typical servile royalist.

Not surprising - dirty b*****ds flock together. Although the number of plastic “salt of the earth” types (Dot Cotton, Barbara Windsor, professional Liverpudlian Cilla) who couldn’t nosh off the Tories and the royals wetly enough always amused.

He was debating whether the massive queue was down to organisational incompetence or whether it was deliberately allowed to end up like this to provide visual propaganda: the servile masses genuflecting at the altar of divine royal majesty, proving how much we all love our dear leaders. Both are believable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are believable. Having watched this week unfold I think the late Queen has sparked a frenzy of celebrity culture that the Kardashians, Oprah, Beyonce, Serena, Jay Z, the Beckhams and every other member of team global fame could only dream about. Probably about 10% who have offered up their devotions are fully paid-up royalists. The rest just 'want to be there' and more importantly need to be seen there and need it all photographed for Instagram to let the world know that they were there, sad fucks that they are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we’re getting lumbered with the funeral costs the could have monetised the mourning queue. £1 a pop and £10 for the speedy boarding option that gets you to the front of the queue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 There would be no queue if it was the middle of January. Old Queenie was very accommodating making her exit in late summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Wish all these c***s who are so heartbroken at Lizzies departure and finding it hard to go on would just go and join her. Would make the world a happier place for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 With all the people who want to queue up to see the box with a flag in London, would it not have been better to do what was done to William Wallace and they could then have had 4 or more separate boxes with flags around the UK to allow many smaller queues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have hoped that brought a wee tear to even the most joyless of the hard nosed republicans. We will lose her soon, and what a loss she will be. Let’s celebrate her twilight years.

Frank Quitely Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 You really wonder whether Huw Edwards, Sophie Raworth and the legion of journalists covering this loop of saccharine gloop finish their shift and promptly boak their load into the nearest ceramic receptacle.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I skip queues so you have to shit in a bag. I also mock the poor by turning their lives into a TV gameshow. This is my revenge for you all knowing about me for decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it in context the queue is more than the distance from Ibrox to Parkhead, or the same as from the Kincardine Bridge to the Falkirk Stadium. Still less than the distance from Falkirk to TFS surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The queue has been way short of the UK's longest, as the 6.7 million waiting on NHS lists would testify. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
