Minute's silences at football matches stopped being feasible years ago. Too much risk of pissed-up crowds disrespecting them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to watch his bit about the stuffed ET being left at the palace gates when Diana died again to make up for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee a number of pricks at every game will ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 While alot of elected officials genuinely think it is all about them and act like piranhas onv3 they get into office, the Queen has always put service first . She was a decent human being and one of only 2 royals i had any time for. She also had an evil sense of humour which is always a good trait to have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this memory of them actually managing to do a minute for something in the last couple of years, and thinking how much better it is than applause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to time it to give sufficient distance from the death to not appear ‘disrespectful’ but soon enough that the current left wing government are still in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A highly developed nation, complex and mature economy, healthcare and social policies that are mostly citizen centric, a highly educated workforce, centralised pension plans. I mean, I can go on, it is objectively a progressive nation irrespective of routinely electing the likes of Scott Morrison and Gladys Berejiklian. 35 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: The Toonie wouldn't be the same without her!
