Queen Elizabeth II DEAD

[Soldi]

One for @lolly. Although the methodology behind that stat is dubious to say the least.

Over 33 Million People in U.K. Watched Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Announced Live on Television

Over 33 million viewers watched live as broadcasters announced Queen Elizabeth II had died.

I assume the funeral will be the most watched TV event ever, at least in this country.

 

[GNL]

Have they booked Sam Ryder for the funeral yet?

It will be very high, especially as it's a Bank Holiday. I think Diana's funeral had 32 million.

Yes, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out in the final published figures. That headline is split over various channels over several hours.

I think he's been despangling that bloody jumpsuit for about 36 hours solid now.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Hoping Huw Edwards will stun viewers by launching into a sultry gem.

Very important

I have a lot of questions. But I also have a lot of new suggestions for my non-binary friend who is seeking a new middle name...

We all love a good despangling.

Black sequins only for the service.

OK, I'm saying it.

Who calls a dog SUSAN???

Larch?

Larch?

Bit wooden.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

BOOM FUCKING BOOM

You get three basils.

 

[Lucille]

Sadness in their eyes

 

[Lucille]

Yes that is the corgi’s private jet.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who gets the CORGIS?

 

[GNL]

Who gets the CORGIS?

Straight in the woodchipper

Who gets the CORGIS?

In my head, I sang that to the tune of "Who Let The Dogs Out?".

 

[octophone]

Yes that is the corgi’s private jet.

Imagine that being your job.

"Oh, I fly the Queen's dogs around. I don't know what'll happen now, apparently Camilla's allergic but she has 3 iguanas so *sniff* maybe there's still a job for me..." *drains glass*

 

[Sheena]

Oh I'm DONE with it now. I realise this in itself isn't NEWS, what with my general beliefs about the monarchy, but fuck me, the Pan Pipe Moods cd they had spinning in Tesco was enough to send anyone to an early grave, let alone LIZ.

And sorry, but fuck all this POMP and CEREMONY and STUPID AMOUNTS OF WASTED MONEY when we're in the middle of a fucking financial crisis. ARSEHOLES.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Apparently she stopped breeding the corgis, because she didn't want to leave any young dog behind

About your work: I’m a huge fan of it

Yes, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out in the final published figures. That headline is split over various channels over several hours.

I can’t wait to see the viewing figures.

 

[Lucille]

When can the radio play FUN SONGS again? The presenters all sound bored out of THEIR TREE, and GOD KNOWS how badly this is affecting the ATOPOS PROMO.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I heard Bjork is playing at the funeral. They've let her do Atopos, so long as she does Hyperballad and Cocoon.

 

[funky]

It feels like a lot of this mourning period nonsense is very tone deaf - like everyone planned this for so long and just assumed it was the right thing to do and never actually checked if it was everyone wanted.

Closing pubs and bars last night (some of them) was just ridiculous. What’s everyone supposed to do, sit at home wearing black rocking back and forth on the sofa watching BBC News 24 all day long?

I’m sure even the queen herself would find this macabre!

Drinking at home is an option. Lockdown was a practice run.

Question 1: Michael Fagan shagged me, Liz Truzz killed me, who am I?

Name every number 1 song during the Queen’s reign.

You have 3 minutes.

 

[Sheena]

No pubs have closed here, I don't think.

Is that just a WEIRD LONDON THING?

She reigned for the whole period of the UK charts.

Maybe it's time to let that old relic die.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Speaking of which they need an accompanying song for this. She's flopping on iTunes.

Is that just a WEIRD LONDON THING?

Mostly. There were a few closed here but not many. Nobody actually knows why. They probably expected everyone else to - how embarrassing for them.

 

[Kate]

Spotted in South London apparently

OMG now you come to mention it I have had MTV MUSIC on in the background for most of the day to get away from the nonsense on terrestrial tv and they have played A RATHER SUSPICIOUS AMOUNT OF LEONA LEWIS SONGS, and now we are on to Mel C and Lisa Left Eye Lopes - Never Be the Same Again.
