Did you expect a brief " and in other news " and that's it

No not at all and I know it's going to dominate the majority of the airwaves for the rest of the day.
But the least I expected was a stiff upper lip and not to detect a quiver in the voice, old boy.

Nope. But the wall to wall coverage is bigging him up more than he deserves.

They'll have been preparing for this for years. Decades probably. They're going to use that now they've got the chance.

I'm not a fan of the mass grieving we seem to have for everything now. Probably mentioned it before but there seems to be a minutes silence at virtually every game these days. Sure years ago you could go whole seasons without having one.

Had the cricket on today from Edgbaston and they've got the flags at half mast, black armbands and have had a two minute silence. All at a game with no spectators for someone who, as far as I'm aware, has no connection to the club.

Not to say it isn't sad but its become like a competition to see how can be seen to be the most upset about everything and every company & organisation seem fearful of being criticised if they don't mention it.

Yes, Operation Forth Bridge it's known as.

Netflix probably wasn't around though when they came up with their cunning plan for wall to wall 24 hr coverage

I wonder how many of these they will get through in the 24 hours rolling coverage?


“Do you still throw spears at each other?”
A question to an Indigenous elder during a Royal visit to Australia in 2002.

“If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.”
To a British exchange student studying in China.

“It looks as if it was put in by an Indian.”
Commenting on a dodgy fuse box at a factory in Scotland.

“I meant to say cowboys. I just got my cowboys and Indians mixed up.”
Clarifying his earlier remarks about the fuse box.

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?”
Questioning of a Scottish driving instructor.

“You look as if you’re ready for the bed.”
Appraisal of the ceremonial robes the Nigerian secretary-general of the Commonwealth was wearing at a state dinner.

“If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.”
Advice to a meeting of the World Wildlife Fund in 1986.

“Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf.”
In 1999 to deaf people in Wales about a steel band.

“Well, you’ll never fly in it; you’re too fat to be an astronaut.”
Speaking to a 13-year-old while about the NOVA space craft on a 2001 visit to a Manchester university

“Do you know they have eating-dogs for the anorexic now?”
In 2002 to a blind woman and her guide dog.

“Do you work in a strip club?”
To Navy trainer Elizabeth Rendle.

“If you travel as much as we do you appreciate the improvements in aircraft design of less noise and more comfort – provided you don’t travel in something called economy class, which sounds ghastly.”
Discussing the evolution of air travel with the Aircraft Research Association.

“Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed.”
About the Thatcher era recession in Britain.

He was the longest serving head of state ffs. This was obviously said in jest, he should not need to be accountable for this.

Also, I'm not sure you're in a position to call anyone a sad little man when just the other day you bumped a 7 (yes, seven) year old thread because of some internet grudge.

You're in your fifties apparently and you're doing that shit

Not sure why they are strange to be honest.

It’s sad that a family has lost a husband, father, grandfather.

His legacy should be in his DofE scheme that allowed young people to have all kinds of new experiences and develop skills that they may not have had access to previously.

You can emphasise these points and be more than respectful enough.
