Nah, gently caress that. loving up on live it requires that you apologise on live TV at the same time slot. You can't make poo poo up and then apologise on twitter where nobody will see it and it won't get covered. Newspapers do this poo poo all the time. Massive front page lie and then an apology in tomorrow' newspaper in font 3 at the bottom of page 19.

Tbf I doubt Sky were going to cover Chris Kaba at all until their presenter did a whoopsie and hosed up on live TV

A bunch of big companies got them in the early 00s after 9/11 and anthrax scares in the media for security theatre/panic reasons. Company I was working for in 2003 or so had got one recently and had a full dress false alarm with bomb squad called out, building evacuated and all that.

The package turned out to be a model of the starship enterprise with working lights that some senior exec had ordered.

that wording seems a bit snide though maybe i'm just reading into things. but, specifically mentioning that there are thousands of people for the queen, and the "at that moment"? seems a bit like it's making excuses by minimising the protest as small and momentary while emphasising how big the crowds for liz were. i'm not exactly predisposed to thinking highly of sky news from the outset so idk how fair i'm being here

There's no story

quote:

It has been brought to our attention that, despite our clearly informing all clubs that football matches this weekend should be cancelled as a mark of respect for the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, two teams within our League have chosen to play a friendly match anyway. This is after we specifically and separately confirmed friendly matches could not be played.

The SDFPL Management Team would like to put on record that we absolutely do not condone this disrespectful and despicable behaviour. There will be an investigation into this matter, in conjunction with the Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA, and these two teams will be dealt with in the strongest possible terms. Our league has honesty, integrity and fair play as cornerstones, and we will not accept such behaviour from within our ranks.

Chairman Danny Taylor stated:
"Queen Elizabeth II ruled, served and led with integrity and humility for more than seven decades. It is a terrible shame that these two teams could not emulate this even for a single Saturday, despite our clear instructions. We may or may not agree with the mass cancellation of football, but this was decided as a mark of respect and should therefore have been adhered to. This sort of behaviour is disrespectful, unacceptable and flies in the face of the core values of our League. It will not be tolerated."

We would like to thank our 37 other clubs that followed the instructions and showed their respects with honour.

Most of the workload of the receptionists at our company before the pandemic was managing the ever increasing pile of delivery boxes. Kinda weird to think that will never really be a thing again or that I will never be in a full office on a regular basis.

Honestly just surreal.

Agreed. A principled decision by Corbs and, while he'll get stick from the usual quarters for declining, we all know that if he'd gone they'd have decided that he didn't look sad enough, looked too sad (so was obviously faking it), was wearing a tie that wasn't dark enough, or was too dark and so trying to show up everyone else, was standing too close to Starmer (obviously trying to bask in his spotlight and stage a coup) or wasn't standing close enough to Starmer (obviously hates his guts and trying to stage a coup) and so on. The haters would have hated whatever he did, while this way sensible people (like us :smuggo:) can at least respect him acting true to his beliefs.

And if it was an invited crowd and there were only so many places available, it's just good manners and respect on his part not to take up a place that someone who actually wanted to be there could have had.

Whatever Corbs does or doesn't do: if he does it, he gets slagged off for that and if he doesn't do it, the exact same people who would slag him off for doing it slag him off for not doing it.
