That's something that's struck me. We keep being told that she had this remarkably good sense of humour and was very down to earth. However, the anecdotes wheeled out as evidence are invariably, irredeemably shit. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Peado protectors out in force.Lot of "time and a place" going on. Fucking hell. 'We'll forget you're a nonce until she's buried Andrew!' Absolute fucking state of this country. Said it before and this has just strengthened my belief: when that nonce dies Twitter is going to be full of "he had his faults but let him RIP" bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of the knuckle-dragging “time and place” serfs would also be the first to hurl a brick through the window of a paediatrician’s house (as long as he or she didn’t have an HRH). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a wee family gathering at the weekend and the subject of the Queen dying inevitably came up. We were trying to remember something memorable that the Queen had said. At the end of it all, and despite having a couple of fervent Unionists among us, was that she had once mentioned an "annus horribilus". That was it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limmy met her at a charity do once though, and apparently she was surprisingly down to earth and VERY funny. Maybe he can share some better anecdotes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 What's with ITV etc not showing adverts and how long is that going to last ? Must be costing them a small fortune. ETA not that advert tv is a bad thing, just don't see why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't think of a better time and place to call out a nonce for being a nonce than the moment the c**t's walking right past you. 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been thinking that for decades; whenever there was a jubilee, or someone in her family died, there'd be a deluge of press discussing how funny, entertaining, and generally brilliant she was. It couldn't be more obvious that none of it was true, and it's incredibly disturbing that millions of people convinced themselves that a deeply boring woman, who never even managed to look comfortable on camera despite more media training and practice than anyone in the country, was in any way personally interesting or talented. Even the bland anecdotes that people consider examples of humour are normally just an immensely privileged woman flatly pointing out that she had immense privilege, with any humorous intent entirely in the mind of the teller, as...well, if she wasn't joking, it really doesn't sound very good. It's all self-justification. If these folk are as ordinary and dull as they appear, you'd need to be a special kind of weirdo to worship them. So they worship fictional representations. 2 minutes ago, coprolite said: Come on @Ric, get on with it.

williemillersmoustache Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 With the police in attendance en masse anyway and the state of some of the creatures filing through St Giles, a quick outstanding warrant check would be an excellent idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
