Well, it had to happen some day. Could've happened on any day during the past 20 years... or the next 10.

[Nitty_Grimes]

She’s back in London now.

 

[YCoCg]

The day of the funeral is going to be like a Sunday on steroids at this rate, places being forced to close all day, you won't be able to buy food on the day, etc.

it's beyond ridiculous now. doctor appointments being cancelled and can't buy food. the entire country will grind to a halt on monday.

i didn't hate the queen. i quite liked her but i can't wait until this is all over. well i suppose we'll be hearing about it for months yet but once the funeral is out the way that'll be a relief.

 

[nush]

Nope, the angle will change quickly to Charles.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Nope, the angle will change quickly to Charles.

what i meant was we'll be hearing about this whole thing for a while still. whether it be QEII or KCIII. i mean his coronation probably won't be until next year so we are a long way before shit settles down.

 

[Drew1440]

And what Law would that be?

It gets classed as a Non-crime hate incident. Simply stating there are only two genders is enough to get a phone call off the police.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Last time we had a king die was 1952 so people moaning about shops etc need to get a grip. Buy food on Sunday ffs.

Doctors however any old fucking excuse not to see anyone they’ll need the rest of the week to catch up on paperwork. Or what the rest of us call playing golf.

 

[Days like these...]

Lol that cunt Harry looked like a petulant child for not being allowed to wear his military uniform

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Get's to wear it Monday I believe.

 

[Solarstrike]

Watching the procession, the guards, the people. So many people of all races coming to see her in rest. Some to bow, say a prayer, mumble a wish or give thanks. The love for the Queen is real, pronounced, and without doubt.

I can understand non essential shops being shut, but not food shops. Same with medical appointments. No way should GP appointments be cancelled. I'm not against the monarchy in anyway, however a person's health is more important than a state funeral, regardless of the historical significance.

Always amazes me how they can stand rock solid still for so long.

You'll still be able to buy Domino's after the funeral (at 12:00), so calm your tits.

No McDonald's, but I'm sure you'll survive.

Too bad if I had surgery on that date or had another funeral to attend.

So just a regular Sunday or Christmas day in the UK up until the 90's?

 

[Tams]

One day is not going to kill you.*

*A&Es and the emergency services are not going to be on a break, so you can not bother with that bull.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Jesus Christ. Its the Queens state fucking funeral.

If she’d died a couple of days earlier the funeral would have been on the weekend and people would have been moaning that they were going to a BBQ or away for the weekend but they can’t now cos that inconsiderate hateful old cow had the audacity to die.

It’s a one off.

Majority of supermarkets open again from 17:00. Your local corner shop will be open so you can get your monster energy and rizzla papers. You’ll survive.

 

[funkygunther]

A day off is the only thing us republicans can get out of this, Y YCoCg stop trying to deny us even this tiny bit of respite.

i will be spending the day as the monarchs dictated. Stuck on the first puzzle of the new Monkey Island game.

Oh shit that's out the same day, I forgot about that! Then I too shall pay my respects, the pirate way.

This is well worth a read, especially for any American friends here:

A hereditary monarchy is good for politics

I suppose it was inevitable that with the death of HM the Queen certain floodgates would open. During her reign it often felt as though there were forces that she was single-handedly holding back. As Lionel Shriver has noted elsewhere, they have come in particularly malicious form from parts of...

It's lovely that people from the colonies want to pay their respects to their sovereign ruler. However, in future if you are going to visit the motherland please learn to repress your feelings before you arrive. Public (and even private) displays of emotion shame us all.

It's very difficult to rule the world and ruthlessly exploit millions of people, steal their property and oversee their enslavement if one insists on engaging with ones 'feelings'. It's better to leave that at the door when you arrive.

Of course, this will results in a loveless and sexless marriage, emotional estrangement from one's own children and a life of quiet desperation. But, this is a small price to pay for never having to learn a foreign language, being able to tolerate inclement weather and a sense of superiority over all other people.

Also, any bets that the casket is actually empty?

Is everything ok at home?

I don't know where to put this, but the king getting frustrated with the fountain pen is maybe the most British thing.

King Charles loses his temper over a leaky pen: ‘Can’t bear this bloody thing’

The new monarch also admitted to writing the incorrect date — he scribbled Sept. 12 instead of the 13th — while visiting Hillsborough Castle in Ireland.

The poor bloke could probably do with a few good night's sleep.

Whether you're a King or a window cleaner, the most stressful thing to deal with after losing someone close is having to "deal with all the shit" when all you want to do is give your loved one a good send off so you can have the chance to grieve in private.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

You know what's even more difficult? Doing all this while having no political or decision-making power, just like the Queen.

I reckon she'll burst out of it on the day of the funeral and have to fight Kane in a casket match.

BBC staff having black ties kinda ruins the suprise

London chatter is that they offed her already, announcement at six

I am hearing that my sources got the timing right but it was supposedly leukemia that took her out

If he don't want to be King, better give it to someone else.

Perhaps he is and we'll see what kind of monarch he will be.

But he just lost his fucking mum, and feels an obligation to go ahead with this whole mourning procedure, in public (yes, I think if they want to remain the royal family that they absolutely must do this in public - that doesn't prevent me from recognising how fucking hard it must be emotionally).

I bet you wouldn't hold up as well. And starting your comment with 'With all due respect' is a sign that you have none.

Yes, the loss is understandable... But he is the king of an important country and he has the responsibility, he must behave as such, more so because of the current media. And you're right...

I don't want to be king and it's not within my field of life...

But there are many people who are seen to be more capable than King Carlos III.

Sorry, but that's just really fucking stupid.

Not really.

He has to get up. And it is understood that his life was not easy even when he was a child... But he must already have the willpower and raise his head...

He cannot be depressed for the rest of his life, as he has been demonstrating all these years.
