Popular Post Panto_Villan Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 I don't care a great deal about Prince Phillip and I agree the wall-to-wall media coverage is a bit extreme, but I find the level of gloating in this thread a bit distasteful personally. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't gloating. This is irritation. Thatcher was gloating. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2021 One unexpected side issue which has taken me somewhat by surprise is the the music on the radio, well Absolute Radio, has been completely diobolical all frippin day. Special programming with regular pre recorded announcement between each couple of dirge tracks. It's a horror show, had to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Oprah interview Meghan was saying that when she met the Queen the first time she was shocked she’d still have to curtsy to her, even though it was just them. She thought it was just for show, but amazed when they said she had to follow the rules even for a private meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"**** off liz you prick if I want to drink 6 cans of fosters and watch the football then I will, get the dinner on" Hard to know what kind of life you'd have in that position and at that age, one of the interesting things I heard on the news was that because he retired they didn't actually spend that much time together but then with corona they did, they spent a lot of time together more so than they had in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The reason I sort of liked Philip is that he would have probably laughed at most of the responses in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
