These oil and gas companies have made more than a 10,000% return on their lobbying/donation investments then. Canny.

I know, was just highlighting the ridiculousness of what is happening. The Met Office tweeted they weren't going to make a weather forecast out of a mark of respect! Crazy. I know the NHS will keep on working as usual but understand my Mum's anxiety now too (she said everything shut when George VI died).

I agree, was just tlking about perceptions. I think the FA decision is insane though considering the international break and WC coming up. It's a self-imposed covid-like fixture pile up. Justy hope we benefit through getting injured players back (hoping Mick Lowes doesn't read this!). Talking of Lowes, it does seem strange that the people who want to mourn the most are borderline pyschopathic in their social media responses. I can imagine a poster like HTL, if he hasn't already died of a heart attack, is absolutely fuming right now punching walls.

Yeah, football cancelled (including grass roots, training, and childrens'), but cricket and Rugby Union cleared to go ahead. I know there are some cricket and rugby fans on here (I'm not a fan of either) but these are traditionally more middle/upper middle class games in the UK. So actually this smacks of classicism, even if that isn't the case (ie. the FA and premiership jumped the gun). What a fucking joke this country is. Nothing is even consistent. Complete scatter gun approach to what is allowed and what is not, with kids and traditionally more working class people affected most. It is quite pathetic.

Craig should be his first guest, with predictably hilarious results.

Or youtube channel, could make a canny bit. Everybody likes a good rant. So, I saw my mum yesterday and she was fretting about an urgent operation being cancelled next week because of this bullshit. I laughed and told her not to worry, but now I'm not so certain. Half expecting a tweet from the NHS telling us they are going to stop treating her majesty's subjects for 10 days as a mark of respect.

Got an e-mail from the school. Apparently they will offer psychological support for the children during this time of national grief. They didn't offer this to kids during the pandemic ffs! What is going on?

Now you've done it.......

The junior element of the GNR has been cancelled, children must NOT be allowed to enjoy themselves or keep fit apparently.

International break weekend of 24th September. A full month of football cancelled. Glad the GNR is still on though.

More than 50 years on this Earth tells me you are 100% right.

Agreed. She did seem okay, but then nobody can really know, can they? All this "One of the people" is nonsense, she was completely detached from us. That's not a criticism, just a fact. As she had no real power, I think the best metric to judge her is how her kids came out. Charles is a narcissistic fruit cake always on the verge of abusing his role. Cheated on his wife, who he drove to near suicide. Had two relatively well adapted sons, one of which has seen the light. Anne, no comment, seems okay, don't really know anything about her and not arsed to find out either. Andrew, her favourite, well, he's a fucking nonce. How did he end up this way? It wasn't good parenting was it? Edward, the runt of the litter in every way. So aye, just because the Queen wasn't ever offensive herself, she was still head of a family that is embroiled in scandals that would make the average Mam in Meadowell blush in shame.

Are they dressing the bells in BDSM gear out of respect?

The fucking forelock tuggers and their cancel culture. Well, all this has done for me personally is make me despise the monarchy and its underpinning institutions even more.

They will all get crocked when we are playing 4 games a week in the midst of January.

I remember being so pissed off that the the Newcastle Liverpool game was cancelled when Diana snuffed it, but after that I don't recall many cancellations as she was not considered a proper royal. Not that there wasn't fucking mass hysteria like. David Brent summed up those terrible days best, much better than that rehashed shit Elton John did.

This is fucking insane, the fixture pile up will terrible, isn't there an international break in 2 weeks? That means no football for nearly a month with the WC still to come. Loads of matches in freezing cold January and February nights, loads of injuries. The GNR will also be pressurised to cancel. Fuck this country.

Reckon you're right. And there will be kock on effects, so the GNR will probably go ahead etc. Nee events next weekend probably.

Good spot.

Could do Killer Queen, but surely put on the Queen is Dead by the Smiths?

Our banknotes should have this on.

I mean, come on. This utter nonsense is actually quite dangerous though, it shows the same lack of critical thinking that has led the UK into the place it is now. People are morons.

What was it? "Job vacancy: ruling monarch of UK and head of commonwealth. Click this link to apply">
