like the queen this thread will never die: in which we ALL resign (ourselves to disgusting miseries to post-boris politics 2022)

So Chas is going for King Charles III after all, bit of a mixed track record for King Charles's tbf.

is he?

I remember when she visited my town in 1990 and the council paid for a major paint job over the dilapidated flats by the Sports Centre she was visiting. Never mind there were damp problems and some of the flats were in terrible condition. Just make some cosmetic improvements for the fcking Queen.

bet it looked nice tho

there's a very old joke about her thinking the world smells like fresh paint

I thought that was Billy Connolly one.

it's official guys

Had the pleasure of meeting the Queen at a charity do once. She was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Haha yep he did

Great week for transfers of power: new PM chosen by 100,000 80-somethings, new HoS chosen by one 90-something

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

I'll always remember where I was...

La Carla de mijas.

Ok I might forget....

so, do we get another bank holiday?

don't think so. 10 days of national mourning, then the funeral which lands on a Sunday.

who will perform at the funeral? Elton? Harry Styles? Spice Girls reunion?

Buckingham Palace just released this video. pic.twitter.com/Wu4gzozedn

xp that actress who played the Queen in Naked Gun is still alive btw. Going by IMDB it looks like she never played any non-queen roles, the guy who played Gorby in that movie exclusively played Gorbachev until 1991 but then diversified into playing other people after the collapse of the USSR

he never recovered after Leslie Nielsen wiped his birthmark off

The Queen lives! xxpost

he wasn't really Russian either, he was from Wallasey

I don't remember that being mentioned in the obits.

was he the guy having a feight with Reagan in the FGTH Two Tribes video?

tbh I always thought that Queen actress (Jeannette Charles is her name) didn't really *that* much like the Queen for someone who had a decades long career playing the Queen in numerous high-profile TV series and movies, was she really the best they could find? The resemblance was a bit more pronounced when they were younger, and I guess later she'd become established as the person you call if you need someone to play the Queen, I guess?

xp different guy, that was supposed to be Chernenko anyway

The actress looks a lot like Olivia Colman

xp

oh yeah lol, I forgot that was '84

Sitting at work and seeing the tweet was much more blah than learning of Diana's death while I wolfed down Burger King after being out celebrating my 21st birthday with friends.

Gutted

He spoke in dialect, I could not understand...

Happy day to all of you Brits.

You guys Andrew is shook

I'm trying to write a column and I find myself in tears. I fear that everything she exemplified - restraint, duty, grace, reticence, persistence - are disappearing from the world.

timing is a nice additional little twist of the knife into Boris, come to think of it.

Yes, hanging on long enough to deny Boris the chance to do his pound shop Churchill routine is maybe her greatest achievement.

i;m thinking about thos queens

The introductory stages of the evening, held at the London Eventim Apollo, were already under way when news of the monarch’s death broke.

An announcement shown to guests in the room said: “In light of the sad news of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, we are sorry to announce that we will not be proceeding with this evening’s event as planned. The Mercury prize will be communicating with guests and audience members over the coming days. We thank you for your understanding at this difficult and sad time.”

It said dinner would not be served, and asked guests to finish their drinks and leave the venue by 7.30pm.

The electronic screens outside the venue showed a black-and-white photograph of the Queen.

lol i called that hours ago, beautiful

Now we all know I was innocent ! Amen! RIP Queen E !
