thread for KING CHARLES III (regnal name george vii)

My god what a photo.

Producer probably thought he was booking Prince Charles and the City Beat Band, must've been gutted when that jug-eared cunt turned up

The mystery figure is apparently Steve Balsamo, Welsh musical theatre performer, who opened that 1996 Hyde Park Prince’s Trust show. Missing is Alanis Morissette, also on the bill!

Genuinely unsure if that's Ade Edmondson or Level 42's Mark King between Fry and Daniels

I appreciate the neat symmetry of Townsend and Glitter bookending the whole gang.

All still alive apart from Entwistle, I think.

keep yr hands off my lovely mark king, why wd he appear w/o lindup or the gould bros

that is ade (never funny)

thought it was Harry Secombe for a minute

Neddy Seagoon surely?

Charles has just hired Pipe Major Paul Burns, who played the bagpipes at Queen Elizabeth's funeral, to be his personal piper, and play for him every morning. Ostensibly, Burns is the King's human alarm clock

I would rather clean razor sharp swarf off dirty dangerous machines with an oily rag for a penny a day than be a fucking "human alarm clock" for one of these freaks!

KING CHARLES GET PIPED DOWN EVERY MORNING

keeping it real

The temptation for Major Paul Burns to install a recording of himself piping and slack off each morning must be considerable, one might think.

does hes just come into his room and starting playing right in his ear or what sounds horrible, maybe if he started far away tho and got slowly closer

yeah hopefully it's the reverse of the piper they got for my grandmother's funeral who got further and further away when we were at the cemetary

reminds me of my favorite joke

q: why do bagpipe players walk while they play?

a: to get away from the sound

lol

I should like to be piped in

yo chuck, they must be on the pipes right?

Who says these fucks are out of touch

A well aimed punch from Chuck = snooze button.

I hope he wakes him with this every morning...

Truss: “Your Majesty… Lovely to see you again.”

King: “Back again. Dear oh dear. Anyway…”

This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. 😂😂pic.twitter.com/ENP8pPl9kO

... is he going to die tomorrow?

i got into a minor wikipedia edit war last year over whether another of chuck's mentors laurens van der post raped a girl (he did, which the article now acknowledges).

Doesn't the King's "back again" basically mean "oh, dear, we're meeting again for the first time since the difficult and awkward times after the death of my mother" ?

that's not how it's being interpreted

he means *turns impossibly ancient and woebegone face to viewers* thanks i hate it

So are we saying 'speaking the King's English' now instead of the Queen's English or what?

Out on the king's highway we are.

well we would be if she'd died but

Surely someone has a "why isn't it King's College Belfast now" take

Doubt he'll get to his own coronation at this rate.

Who was Prime Minister when King Charles III ascended to the throne is going to be a really hard pub quiz question in about 20 years

some very disappointing egg throwing skills here, ffs aim for the parasite's head. hilarious replies: "this is treason" ha ha!

good to see the mayor in the apu-takes-a-bullet role

has the royal egg boiler guy finally lost his patience with him?

I just saw a long ITV news item about King Charles on an official visit to Luton.

Visiting a Sikh kitchen he remarked of the dough: "It's wonderful how it rises". The presenter repeated that he had said: "It's wonderful how it rises".

I'd say it must be a slow news day if we still had those.

tbf bread rising is technically wonderful

King Charles dies in a tragic sourdough accident.

It was the best of times, it was the yeast of times

Think he got egged again yesterday

that's not eggy bread

Read that as Eggy Beard - who as we all know was violinist with Scotland's greatest rock group, Chou Pahrot.
