The Queen DEAD...Tired

[Diddy]

The name is so weird. What happens if London Bridge actually does fall down?

I never understood why it’s so well known that that’s what it means - isn’t the whole point that it’s a secret code name?

 

[Christian]

Well London Bridge has definitely fallen down then.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What a euphemism "It was clear from that moment that the Queen's health had taken a new direction"

Queen's Health FLOP ERA confirmed.

 

[Diddy]

Does Black Tie have some other meaning in this situation? It would seem highly odd they’d get ready for a death before it’s been announced??

 

[Indie]

RE-APPEARED?

Where did they all go?

No, the ties can only mean one thing.

It's a crappy code phrase but I suppose it could sound innocuous if someone overheard it...

 

[Diddy]

Why are they putting them on now though?

Even if they know she’s going to pop her clogs in 30 minutes, you’d WAIT??

I'm guessing that it's part of an established protocol that has been triggered to cover this very event.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

When AR PHIL died the newsreader that announced it got changed whilst doing a voiceover for a video clip. It was actually quite impressive.

Because if people later find out that she died at 10 am and Huw & Nick were wearing colourful ties when "they KNEW", there would be HELL to pay (from CERTAIN quarters)

 

[Diddy]

This just feels like the tie version of putting FIRST in a comments thread

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Ru will be FUMMIN'

 

[Diddy]

They can just green screen the tie colour in like the weather map

 

[Christian]

Drag Race is end of September! We're surely not going to have somber programming between now and CHRISTMAS

 

[octophone]

I wonder if they'll still have the Mercury tonight?

 

[RJN]

 

[Diddy]

Ohhh no DRUK for a while??

Oh SHOOT

 

[VoR]

It’s going to be really interesting having a king who nobody really likes very much.

 

[Diddy]

More or less interesting than having a Prime Minister nobody really likes very much?

 

[RJN]

if she does, does Charles just become king automatically?

 

[octophone]

Nick Witchell is on the BBC already. He'll have been ready for this, a week's clothes and protein bars in a locker at the Beeb.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

if she does, does Charles just become king automatically?

Yes, the crown moves the instant of death.

 

[Kate]

More or less interesting than having a Prime Minister nobody really likes very much?

That's pretty standard though

 

[Diddy]

if she does, does Charles just become king automatically?

Yeah he glows and levitates for a moment, and then he’s king

A bit like a Pokémon evolution now I think about it

 

[octophone]

"Well-wishers gather outside Balmoral Castle"

That's a funny way of spelling "GHOULS"

 

[octophone]

WITCHELL HAS JUST BLAMED HARRY AND MEGHAN

 

[Madison]

[Diddy]

.

Ooh what did that use to be?

 

[Kate]

WITCHELL HAS JUST BLAMED HARRY AND MEGHAN

What did he say??

 

[Kratz]

Drag Race is end of September! We're surely not going to have somber programming between now and CHRISTMAS

So much of normal life is going to come shuddering to a halt if she passes. The football league will stop which will play genuine havoc with a season going on hiatus for the World Cup in a few weeks.

 

[Kate]

Ugh. We've just got back to normal after two years of SHIT. We don't need ALL FUN CANCELLED AGAIN

 

[octophone]

What did he say??

That the 'controversy' around them "can't have helped" and how this was particularly unwelcome given her age.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Ugh. We've just got back to normal after two years of SHIT. We don't need ALL FUN CANCELLED AGAIN

Come to Scotland, we won't be cancelling shit!

 

[FetchFugly]

He lumped them in with Prince Andrew and then added a special ONGOING for them for emphasis.

 

[octophone]

Well, bits of Glasgow will be. Worst week to be a Rangers fan in living memory...

 

[Sheena]

Ugh. We've just got back to normal after two years of SHIT. We don't need ALL FUN CANCELLED AGAIN

It's 2022! Surely life will just pretty much trickle on, no?

 

[octophone]

He lumped them in with Prince Andrew and then added a special ONGOING for them for emphasis.

That's true, yes, Andy did get a shout out.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Well, bits of Glasgow will be. Worst week to be a Rangers fan in living memory...

And I live in Ibrox too

 

[Indie]

If they cancel the beer festival next week i'll be FUMMING
