Yeah, but I figured, like, the little co-op would be open. Or the petrol station wild bean cafe. Or something

That said, yes, I have been avoiding all this nonsense to the absolute best of my abilities

I also forgot it was a bank holiday so the cafe at my office is shut even though we’re open because we’ve been treating it as business as usual in the run up.

We seem to be the only company in the building who are disrespecting Our Lizzie in this way.

Gonna be a long hungry day.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Laffo, in my LBC Alexa morning news update they just said an estimated 4 Billion people are expected to tune in and watch the queen's funeral.

More than half the world!

Given only 400,000 odd people turned up to lavish praise on the box, I think that's a bit of an exaggeration unless every media platform on the planet is hard locked to it.

Actually using posh whiskies in cocktails owns and citrus in general can really complement the stronger flavours of great whisky. I will personally fistfight anyone that disagrees.

Celtic are an Irish club and thus hate the English and the queen.

You are not allowed to do politics at the football so that is why they are getting investigated.

:scotland: Not an Irish club. :scotland: They do have a lot of Irish supporters, though if you think it was just them then: :lol:

There used to be Belfast Celtic F.C. but they disbanded in 1949 when the mostly catholic supporters they were violently attacked by protestant supporters of Linfield F.C. :ughh:

I'm really loving sick of all these stupid bastards on the telly pontiifcating about how loving amazing the royals are and how it's incredible how hard they work and all the terrible hardships they endure.

Absolutely loaded and protected by the resources of an entire country, literally impossible for them to come to any sort of harm and no expense will be spared to keep them in a state of utter idyll, any loving poor bastard who works a normal job and has to live with the threat of starving to death if they don't keep at it, their families and kids maybe too, ten thousand times more admirable than any one of these loving rich cunts.

Christ I wish I could snap my fingers and rot everyone one of them from the inside.

I hope there's others watching it and getting turned the same way cos christ alive this poo poo is nauseating.

Does anyone have any idea what's happening in Leicester? My understanding is that groups of Hindu and Muslim lads are trying to pogrom each other and the police can't work out what to do, but the need is being a bit drowned out by queen deadathon 2022 so I'm not sure what is happening and why

i would say it's been an opportune moment for folks to tell on themselves but there haven't really been any massive surprises there

as set of performative rituals it's boring as gently caress too, at least roll out some druids with swords, burn some effigies or have people paid to scream and rend their clothes at least

Big cricket match.



I'll elaborate a little more...
Pakistan Vs India.
Some flags got ripped off a building afterwards and it's kind of just escalated from there.

If it's more general why Pakistan and India don't like each other, well it's like many of these situations. It goes back generations and involves the British.

Laphroaig based cocktail sounds odd. I'm sure it's a relatively normal thing but i dunno, it seems like the thing makes Laphroaig lovely, the hit you in the face with a brick strong flavours, would make it tricky as a cocktail base.

Laphroaig makes a dammed good negroni.

They’ve stuck the funeral on the big screens in the office and it’s right in my eye line so I’m trapped.

Whoever/whatever is doing subtitles for the BBC is doing a stellar job though. Macron was called out as “President Mackerel” and we’ve just been introduced to “the leader of the opposition, cursed armour”.

Why would it do that!?
I'm at work today and just asked out of curiousity whether they'd be putting the funeral on the TVs around site and it won't be happening as the business cheaped out and didn't buy a license this year so I am at least spared from that

So my brother is getting paid at Tesco contracted pay plus 1.5x regular wage, so is getting £~30 an hour for stacking shelves because its closed and when I approach my manager with that info their only response was "well, we aren't tescos are we :laughing emoji: " you can bet im going to celebrate today in my own way because gently caress this company. In regards to the plates I don't think so but we have a whole display for funeral stuff in all black and white including plates and it sold out in half a day.
