FWIW I’m not someone who’s be raging if say bbc gave it extended coverage and cancelled some of its regular programming for it. It’s a mystery to me but there’s clearly a demographic out there who this means something to and it’s not my place to stop it. However, the complete black out of any other news/programming makes it state mandated mourning and I find it very weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've annoyed her with too much Royal coverage then a line's been crossed. Anyway. I've signed that. I'd love to know how many others have, but I suspect that will never be made public unfortunately. Utterly bizarre from the BBC that makes it look every bit as out of touch and outdated as its critics say it is. I'm certain they are just taking email addresses rather than the usual complaint process is so that they can just write it off as people hopping on the bandwagon. In case anyone missed the news, BBC 1 have another 4 hour special on this morning at 10, once their wall to wall coverage on Breakfast News finishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine if you want to bin BBC1 for it, but every single channel across TV and Radio? BBC4 didn't even get the courtesy of the simulcast, it just got a placeholder card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, others do have lackeys doing such menial tasks for them - you must have seen it on TV etc. It's used as but one example, amongst many, of how he didn't take kindly to such guff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a pretty terrible but relatively inoffensive joke about how Phil was a big part of Ancelotti's AC Milan team of the mid 2000s. Have just checked Facebook for the first time since and this has made some people very angry. Good.

Nice to meet you. What line of work are you in? I stand in a corridor and open the door for rich folk so they can walk through Really? And that’s all you do? No, no, I close the door afterwards and wait for the next rich person to come along. And you don’t aspire to do anything more than that with your life? Of course I do. My boss says that if I stick at it, in another 5 years or so, I can apply for the post of Light Switch Turner Off and Onner. That’s when I’ll know I’ve made it.

Other than Doorpeople, most of those opening doors are not doing it as their full-time job, it's something they do as a very tiny part of their duties. You never opened a door for anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
