deegee Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It’s actually fascinating and newsworthy to watch, for the first time ever broadcast, the proclamation of the new King. All the formalities and gathering of prime ministers etc is quite interesting. Charles approving and agreeing to Penny Mourdant’s job description in effect! What I’m weary of is the relentless non- news coverage on rolling news programmes. The usual types of grief- tourists and show offs with families on breakfast tv this morning, coming for the 2nd day in a row with their kids for a day out and hopefully get on the telly. The coverage will ramp up even more from tomorrow when the Queen moves to Edinburgh then London next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post djchapsticks Posted September 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) I once had a job as a beekeeper where I had to tell Bees that the Queen has died. I used to knock their boxes and say 'Your mistress is dead, but your new master is very kind, be good for him' Edited September 10, 2022 by djchapsticks 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Since yesterday, Clyde1 been inviting people to call in with the stories of interactions with Queenie (now extended to include brood as Queen stories seem to be running out). Guy this morning describes how he was at a royal garden party one time. Presenter - "how did your meeting with her go" Idiot - "Well I never got selected to meet her, but at one point I was really close to her" *more inane chat*, then Presenter - "So, you have great memories of that day then?" Idiot - "Yes, I have a beautiful picture of when she was near me, she's there, facing the other way, talking to another guest". So, you didnt get to meet her, and she never even looked in your direction. Jeezo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
