The RIP thread...

Taking "Goodnight Sweet Prince" a bit too literally?

Political figures who have ‘isms’ named after them: Marx, Stalin, Thatcher.

It was merely a criticism of the “don’t speak ill of the dead” bullshit as in “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”.

But no, you had to be a sanctimonious fucking cunt about it didn’t you?

"on here"?

Not anymore :)

Ha!

The overnight ratings are absolutely fascinating.

Total viewing was down by about 15% compared to last Friday.

ITV dropped below a million viewers in the 9pm primetime slot, which
is almost unheard of.

At that point Ch4 had more viewers than BBC1, BBC2, ITV & Ch5
combined.

The media depend on the royals so the media wildly exaggerate the interest in royalty. Whatever was on C4 at 9pm last night shows that most people don't give a shit about Philip.

Gogglebox! Ha ha ha!

I don't think that's the only conclusion though. Lots of people might give a shit about Philip dying and just not want to watch boring endless TV about him. Maybe they're having some reflective time at home or on the phone to their mum or whatever.

Nikki "who is she" Grahame at the age of 38. Anorexia is fucking horrible, having experience of it myself and Nikki being the same age as me brings this close to home.

Very sad. RIP Nikki

Fuck me, it's like Viz come to life

Sweat.

This is like when I was a kid and Diana died and I just wanted to watch cartoons.

Somewhere, there's a little Cazalike going through the same:

Children watching cartoons on CBBC were greeted with a banner encouraging them to watch the news for a major story.

I see the Duke of York has just called Prince Phillip the grandfather of the nation. Soothing words from the nation's dirty uncle.

Phil's tangled family history:

Steiff, innit. My mum used to deal in these when home internet was new. Crazy collectors pay silly monies.

Amazing woman and life story. There's been a bit of that info in the Phillip obits but far from all.

Interesting history, where all monarchies should remain.

Gang of 4.

Gang of 2 now...

Bernie Madoff. So much crazy shit has happened since he went down that people are like "Who?" or "Oh, him, well, whatever..."

Helen McCrory is a bit of a shock. 'Night Pol.
