That has absolutely got to be fake. I refuse to believe that such people exist. I certainly don't remember any German Shepherds noticeably moping about when my Dad died & he loved the bloody things.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Absolutely. Most of the thread and what people are talking about in the real world. All I’ve spoken to friends and family about is taking the piss out of the reactions, reactions about something that many people feel absolutely nothing towards.

There are so many things going on in the world that make people angry, worried, depressed, scared… real shit. I worry about real shit every single day. Money, problems, politics. I don’t know how anyone has room left to grieve a person who they didn’t know and lived in a variety palaces for nearly 100 years.

Personally, I’m bemused. The country is ready to bend over backwards to celebrate the life of a stranger. Think of things that won’t get done while this plays out. Who knows how much time and money will be spent on the occasion. Time and money that - regardless of who the government is - is withheld from millions of people who slog and contribute and suffer in their own ways; Without a thank you, kiss my arse or nothing as my grandad used to say.

You know that argument that nurses should make what footballers do? That. This is that.

Yep.

Apart from the bending over is forwards, not backwards. Since 1066.

Prince Andrew to care for Queen's beloved corgis

The Queen's second son and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York will now look after her iconic dogs.

Top story on the BBC News app. He probably has to work off that £12 million of tax payer money we had to bin out because he’s a sweaty nonce.

The corgis are off to the groomers

I didn't know that.

Camilla must have a gash like a Glasgow kebab.

Not necessarily, he probably has a servant to do the foreplay him too - what do you think a 'lady-in-waiting' is after all?

Important announcement this morning. Marmalade sandwiches are being banned as tributes to Her late Majesty.

At this time, will no one think of the wasps?

GPs allowed to close on day of Queen's funeral

But NHS bosses must make sure out-of-hours service is available and care home Covid boosters to continue.

Ah, the entire retail industry grinding to a halt for a day. It’s what she would have wanted.

I know Aldi in particular are meant to be really good employers but it does seem a bit convenient that they won’t have to pay their staff extra to work the bank holiday.

Enhanced pay rates for working bank holidays is pretty much a thing of the past in the retail grocery sector.

Thanks, didn’t know that.

Just silly, not cynical.

Brilliant chart, that.

We were changing our boy’s nappy in the baby change area at Highcross the other day and I noticed a machine on the wall that dispensed wipes and nappies. Before I realised what it was I exclaimed to my wife ‘A Jonny machine? Bit ****ing late for that!’ …. Just as a very shocked mother and toddler came into the room.

I give up

I give up

He's got the sympathy vote at the moment. It'll dip before too long, but will go up again for his coronation.

It will be a couple of years before it's back to previous levels.

Glad I’m not planning on going to Centre Parcs next week.

 

[homer]

FFS it really has gone to the ****ing extreme of madness now

Get out of your Centre Parcs chalet and get the **** out of here to go and mourn with the rest of the scum

Definitely what she would have wanted, that is
