William has also just said he's not going to release the unedited photo he took, for reasons.

I love how the Metro announced she's been seen - by posting an old photo of her happy, waving and very much alive https://twitter.com/MetroUK/status/1767197442838073680

im gonna suggest the whole thing is relatively mundane and its simply that she has decided to divorce him and stop publlic appearances since he finally confessed to shagging the Marchioness of Cholmondley - which is a real person, and the very fact I can type the above sentence shows how utterly insane this country is.

Tesseraction posted:Huh, you'd think the Danes would have come up with something. At least then us being the only one would be funnier. They don't even need to give people any more time off if they just renamed one of the dull rear end "late summer bank holiday" days, although the UK is on the low end so they should do. I mean poo poo, Midsummer's Day is right there, and that's famous for the Burns poem As I was a wand'ring, the Shakespeare play, the Welsh National Opera festival, the Stonehenge thing, and it's unlikely to cause much controversy unless Greenland accuses us of copying. Also I just remembered the Festival of Brexit smellmycheese posted:im gonna suggest the whole thing is relatively mundane and its simply that she has decided to divorce him and stop publlic appearances since he finally confessed to shagging the Marchioness of Cholmondley - which is a real person, and the very fact I can type the above sentence shows how utterly insane this country is.

i reckon all this chaos is a result of old majesty queen no longer being around she was just knocking the poo poo out of them if they stepped out of line, careful like, so as not to bruise any bits that would be photographed, and they all lived in fear of her

Think of all the problematic royals we never heard about because she fed them to the corgs.

That's the real reason she stopped adopting them in old age, passed the point of caring enough to sweeney the bad'uns. Much to Andrew's relief.

Guavanaut posted:They could go for the wankiest option possible (well, second wankiest over Spain having Renaissance Hitler Day) and call the Brexit referendum day Independence Day and I'd take it over the cultural void of If we're brainstorming, just make sir Pratchett's birthday the Day of Britaine or something. He'd hate it, but maybe also find it funny, and it would make all the potterverse monsters lose their loving minds. And I like his books.

If you're doing that why not just amalgamate all the royals into a giant meat monster like the guy on the front of Leviaithan? Hard to argue with its legitimacy if it can crush you.

The reason she doesn't have William's ring in the photo is because he already gave it to Rose Hanbury.

It's the weird tension in current conservative/reactionary/gammon thinking (such as it is) between populist nationalism, which would generally want a national holiday where we can wave flags and declare how Grate Britane is) and the all-pervasive rage at the idea of someone 'getting something for nothing' or not labouring away every possible second of their lives and not maxing Remember when Corbyn suggested adding more bank holidays to the calendar to bring us up to something like the European norm? I'm pretty sure the suggested dates included one to mark the passing of the Slave Trade Act in March and one for Trafalgar Day in October, which should be very 'gammon friendly'. But of course it was all about how Labour didn't want people to work and You Can't Just Give People Time Off Work Jeremy and all that other poo poo.

I thought the idea was to give everyone all the Patron Saints days off regardless of where in the UK you are. Does leave far too many in the Spring though what with Easter and everything.

Just give everyone a long weekend at the end of each month. This is my political manifesto.

Does leave far too many in the Spring though what with Easter and everything. Maybe I'm confusing the official idea with someone else's suggestion to get around that exact problem. The general point still stands - the Great British Public (and/or the Great British Press) are too distraught at the idea of someone else not working for a day to embrace the idea of national holidays.

One of the funniest recent royal things before this current debacle was The Duke of Edinburgh's mistress, who he'd not only been pumping away at for decades ,but actually lived with, being one of the tiny handful of people invited to his covid funeral and the entire media just pretending it didn't happen.

i like the turned into a gigantic insect idea. i would respect her more if this happened. i would respect all the royals more if they were insects. in fact let's replace the royals with a big collection of insects. a giant insect house will be great for the tourists. we can genetically engineer them with our great british ingenuity. and then threaten to release them upon our enemies. we can use their wise insect hiveminds to advise us on great matters of import. they have wisdom we can only dream of. let's replace the house of lords with insects. let's replace the prime minister. let's let them into our homes. let's let them burrow into our skin. it's so comfortable. it only hurts a little. only at first. let them into your ears

I do hope that if humanity does struggle on for a few centuries more, future historians will be able to access social media accounts of the present day, and will be able to know exactly what snivelling little worms our 'free' press actually were.

Same with Human Rights Day and Heritage Day and ones like that, you don't have to take them super seriously, but having them coincide with a day off means you're more likely to take your kids to the library or discuss your heritage.

And the maddest thing about that is Cholmondley is pronounced Chum-lee. I know this because my ex-fiance back when I was 19 used to call me that - do not ask me why - he had been kicked in the head coming out of the pub one night though.
