In amateur radio 73 means 'best regards'. In CB radio it means 'speed trap ahead'. Different user groups.

The media spent decades preparing for this they're going to milk it for every hour they possibly can, regardless of how little most people care and however much it hurts their bottom line (Sky cancelling all the football matches people watch because all the TV vans are hearse-chasing).

That would completely clash with the proud tradition of having giant pope hats and going for a big scratch around your bollocks or falling arse over a wall.

Also my ceo announced a mandatory camera on policy for all meetings at work today across the entire company. So thats a fun thing.

Gotta get folks in to the office to make use of the aeron graveyard by slowly making WFH worse and worse. Yay.

Now I'm wondering if Norn Iron's color is because they couldn't find anyway with the balls to go around asking the Boyos about it, or because they did go and ask and the wee country is exactly 50/50, lol

True true. His current wife was a simp FFS. Played a blinder though, literal shot at being queen in the next couple of decades at most.

Mentioned this before, but my brother went to school with Kate and has snogged her. Apparently even then she was determined that she was going to marry a royal.

I suppose that is a drawback of being prince, how likely is it that anyone shagging you actually cares about you for who you are and isn't just into you for your vast reserves of generational wealth and influence. almost makes you feel sorry for them if it wasn't for, you know, the vast reserves of generational wealth and influence

The other drawback is if you find someone who's not in it for that, and you attempt to have something approaching a normal relationship, bitter cockends like Piers Morgan will moan about how your wife is causing no end of problems.

I recall she specifically turned down her Edinburgh offer, took a gap year and then went to St Andrews because that’s where William was going.

I been thinking this a lot the past few couple of days. Definitely think the 24-hour news channels/internet is making things worse than they would have been 20 years ago for example.
Feels like an almost North Korean level of group think is going on (I'm exaggerating I know but you know what I mean).
The death of Diana in 1997 caused a similar level of hysteria but it seemed more of a ground swell of genuine public emotion (she was young, and died in an accident so more of a shock etc etc).

gently caress your ceo and anyone like them. First they turn your home into a workplace office without contributing to rent, then they demand visual access to you without paying standard camboy minute rates

Dyslexic webcam workers is a hell of a branding opportunity.

I also started thinking deeper about the relevant employment prospects and made myself sad.

As someone who has spent the last few days at work having to help put the dumb condolence messages up on our websites, I can confirm that it's all performative and no one actually doing the work gives two shits about the royals. It's just an absolute ballache and gets in the way of actually doing real work.
