I got properly pissed up at an awards dinner and stayed at the Savoy as a mark of respect last night. Cheers

    I think we should have a black and white photo of the queen on the home page in her memory.

    All threads should be at half mast.

    Get it fucking sorted, Mono.

    A solemn Tony Cascarino is broadcasting on Talksport. Who better to cover this historic event;

    Cascarino said: “I had a Chinese delivered just moments after the announcement. It felt wrong and very disrespectful to eat it, so as a mark of respect I threw it in the bin.”

      I’m currently at Maccy Ds on the Strand. Tempted to go to the palace to drink in the atmos.

        Millsy used to be my local McDonalds - I used work next door. Wonderful memories of queuing there for a double sausage and egg McMuffin meal at 9:00 after three hours sleep.

          Along_the_Wire I’m not upset someone who was expected to die has died. If it was someone younger then it would be a shock.

          I was going to add that I couldn’t give a shit either way, but I thought that was implied! Lol

            Sacked off the palace. Untold amount of spengs walking mournfully towards it laden with bouquets. What would I do when I got there? Salute?

            Cascarino, there’s a good olde fashioned Brit name. Wonder if there’s a China man throwing a spag bol in the bin out of respect somewhere?

              I went to a talk last night about rave music in Essex in the 1990’s. At the start they said the event won’t be cancelled but due to the Queen passing away if people want to leave they can. A) the people there were all people in the rave scene so weren’t that bothered by the news B) if people were bothered then they wouldn’t have turned up in the first place!

              Was an odd start, then followed by a dj called Uncle Dugs discuss doing a load of drugs and going to raves and playing pirate radio around essex.

              Was a good night

                Dece merch oppos though. My current fave is ‘Come now Lillibet, your work is done’ featuring a pic of Prince Phillip leading her majesty through the pearly gates. That’s a mug or t-shirt at the very least.

                  I never went to any raves in Essex back then. But the name uncle dugs does ring a bell from somewhere.

                      Was there a corgi sitting beside them. A load of friends on FB have posted it.

                        I’m guessing deeply suppressed memories from your childhood.

                          Millsy …“could you take me to Philip please?”, “of course ma’am, this way”, Paddington takes HRH’s hand as they amble together through the pearly gates 😢

                              I really hope this is the last time Nicholas Witchell is wheeled out.
