Renton

The thought of the words "queen" and "kebab" in the same tweet makes me feel queezy. I need to disinfect my mind.

I had to look this up, unbelieveable we will spunk this much money cos the boss has retired. Good job Truss has found the money forest. https://news.sky.com/story/queens-death-what-needs-to-change-now-from-money-to-post-boxes-and-the-national-anthem-12692998# I managed to upset my youngest yesterday, told her that all cash was invalid now as it had the queen's head on it and not Charles. She was close to tears cos she thought all her birthday money was worthless. She is so naive and I am such a cunt (for about 30 seconds!).

Isn't that filled with adverts if you're not on premium? My 4 month free trial has just ended. I'm still pondering whichmusic service to sign up to. Spotify - best overall experience, seems to know what I like more than others, but no extras. Youtube music - decent enough, and advert free youtube. Amazon Prime Unlimited - big collection, comes with Amazon Prime, but I'm less keen on the interface and it tends to hang on me a lot. Amazon Prime - fucking shit for music, but cheap. Apple - fuck that.

Help me, I'm already flagging here lads, I don't think I can last the full 10 days without LOSING MY SHIT. I like to listen to the radio whilst I wfh, and R5 is predictably back to back coverage telling me the queen is dead. Repeating the same shit over and over. Fair enough, but then ALL the other radio staions are doing it, and playing mournful shit slow shit ballads in between. To make matters worse I've cancelled my music streaming services to save money, guess I'll have to sign up again. I love the way we are getting no time off work but anything remotely joyful is cancelled. Get yourself to graft, but we don't care whether your a republican or not, you're not watching football. The fate of the Great North Run is still in the balance. If that is cancelled it's a sign this country is truly insane, no different ot Argentina and Eva Peron. 60,000 runners, most of whom have been training for months. All the cancelled transport, hotels, and money raised for charity, gone. It won't be possible to rearrange it. Fucking madness even considering cancelling this.

You're admin, you tell me. Off all the people to double like, it has to be fucking Gemmill.

I've just performed a miracle, and somehow liked this post twice @Gemmill, once a plain (blue) like, and once a lol like. Can any board members beat that?

Gammon personified.

Anybody any news on sporting fixtures. I'm hearing all footy is off at the weekend. What about the Great North Run? Surely that won't be cancelled.

Me too. The more over the top this country, particularly the BBC, gets over this bullshit the more I hate this country. We've probably got weeks of this in the headlines. The Queen did a good job, a job which had quite a few perks. Who the fuck even knows what she was like as a person. I don't mourn her passing more than any other person. Her life is not worth any more.

Chris Mason always looks ill.

I know what you mean. I don't despise Charles as much as used to mind, there are so many utter cunts above him on the list now it's just not possible. Mainly tory MPs.

We know. Sweepstake was for the announcement.

We have a winner!

Deed.

How does sacking work in the civil service? Don't you have to have a reason to sack someone? Doesn't usually seem the case in Westminster.

Why don't they always don them in leather the noisy bastards.

She [Truss] has that effect on people. She will metamorphisise into the snow queen this winter as her subjects cryogenically stand in awe.

Just hoy him in. He's all alone now Mammy and Daddy have also left him, be doing him a favour.

Mass grave for the Queen, Witchell, and a dozen corgis.

Maybe put 98% complete on it?

Blair was a fucking brilliant orator man, way beyonf anyone we have seen since.

IIRC when Diana died the football was cancelled and she was buried on a Saturday. Maybe it will help with our injury problems mind.

Out of interest, what would you do? I'd like to see domestic generated energy and oil/gas kept off the international markets and used here. But nobody credible is suggesting that so I guess there must be quite significant barriers to doing this?

It may be idealogy stopping her from introducing a windfall tax, but the optics are awful. Even Sunak introduced one, there are no reasonable arguments against it. Of course it wouldn't raise enough money, but I wonder if there is some other reason she is not doing it? Keeping donors onside, personal investments?
