He'll be happy to know that they kicked her out in 1956 then.

Wait, I'm getting news that he isn't.

e: Ghana did the same in 1960

The longer this mourning goes on the less time the government have to pass poo poo laws before the election has to happen. A parting gift from her maj.

What is the law on the continuation of Parliament when the monarch dies anyway? Does Charles have to call a new Parliament or does it just continue on?

Remote exams and end of module assignments to go ahead as normal say The Open University, the heartless fiends. Although, if you do feel particularly affected by events you can apply for "special circumstances" or Discretionary Postponement.

I finished my EMA ages ago, and it was due yesterday, so boo to all that.

Wasted a good portion of my day in work being badgered into changing all our roadside signage into tributes to the Queen. Thankfully I was working from home so didn’t get to see the assumed spectacle of scores of people having no idea where to park at a fairly large organisation. It was a pleasure to do my bit, ma’am.

So did Phillip actually welcome her to the afterlife, or is it more likely he is waiting for the woman he loved and left everything to in his will?

We know Paddington isn't actually dead so something definitely doesn't add up in these drawings.

I did notice classical music being piped into a train station this morning and then again in tescos which was odd but not unwelcome.

Tesco had some of the screens in the shop that advertised bevvy deals with a picture of Liz & her dates of birth & death & I must admit I had a laugh, more at the shock of seeing it than anything else, felt surreal.

Sure. He was ~a playboy~ for decades, and in retrospect knowing what we do about famous people from the 70s it's not exactly a surprise. 'Definitely flew to nonce island to do noncing with my good friend the well known nonce', though, no, that was actually new.

New in 2008 when his close friend was convicted or new in 2010 when Virginia Giuffre submitted a statement accusing Andrew to the Florida court system?

Following the sad announcement of the passing of her late majesty The Queen, I'm skipping paying my bills until further notice. Sorry bank, utilities, etc, I've just not processed it. Maybe we'll try in the new year, hey? Maybe. Give us both time to heal. No, I won't be backdating the payments, I'll have moved on by then. C'mon, stop living in the past. A queen just died. Tsk tsk, no respect, some people.

(and can't post for 4 days!)

i think after several years of world and national events legitimately making people depressed because they have made all of our lives worse, people are just going to have less interest in something which doesn't change anything important. there's been a sense of impending doom over the UK for at least 6 years now, getting worse with every new development. the queen dying, and the media's absurd interest in it, is comic relief by comparison. and the joke's already over.
