It's a long read and I'm not that interested, so I don't really know what I've linked to. Or why.

The CoD's mother lived to 102. The CoD is 92. With advancements in medical technology she could still be on the throne in 2030. So Charles could be well into his eighties before starting the job he's been waiting for all his life.

[Petey Pate]

Is it too much to ask that the 'Queen' give us notice of her date of death so we can book a holiday in advance?

Going by the state of his hands I think we're in real territory where he could die before his mum does.

Imagine she made it till 2053. The Centenary of the Coronation.

[ajsmith2]

In the words of the immortal Poopie Longstocking:

Logs lay our gracious Queen
Logs give our noble Queen
Logs lay the Queen
Bend turds victorious
Crappy and glorious
Long, rude, and odourous
Logs lay the Queen

Oh Lord her logs descend
Splatter on porcelain
They shake and fall
Confound their stickiness
Frustrate their ickiness
Her corgis lick her piss
And shave Charles' balls

Her choicest gifts in store
On porcelain she'll pour
Long may she strain
May she distend her bowels
And ever give us howls
And sing with farts and vowels
Logs lay the Queen

Our loved Dominion mess
With faeces' crappiness
From shore to shore
And let our Empire be
Regular, loose, and free
Through poo's brown symphony
For ever more.

Amen.

Will there actually be anything else on telly, apart from the Queen's death and related issues, for at least a month afterwards?

It's not going to be all the Queen's death! There will still be plenty of Brexit.

Probably true, at the rate we're going, even if she lives another ten to fifteen years.  Come to think of it, her funeral, tributes, and Big Ear's coronation will be welcome distractions.

I can't wait for at least 2 days off work. How will you spend these days? I for one will probably be helping my wife with the boy but I'm sure the rest of you will have something great planned.

Probably go round the pubs trying to get free drinks by telling them my name is Elizabeth (even though it isn't!)

Imagine if The Queen has another 20 years reign left though.

DID YOU KNOW

that "reign" is just some admin cunt's typo for "resign" and it isn't actually a real word with it's very own meaning?


Well you've learned it now.

[shiftwork2]

2 days off?  T'riffic!  Adjacent to or either side of a weekend please, there's a good monarch.

She better not die on a fucking Thursday. That's my day off each week.
The tight bastards I work for will never give me a day of in lieu.

I am teaching you guys so many things today.

Channel 5 will have wall to wall Diana, just to give people a break

My Mum's name is Elizabeth, maybe that will blag me a few halves?

If you can bluff that it's Elizabeth II you might get a few whole ones.

A FEW WHOLE HALVES I MEAN


Anyway your mum's name is Sue.

I hope when she dies the weather is nice. I suppose if they can't arrange that, at least the coronation will be in the summer.

I love that piece. The tone is so reverential and funereal, it's like she's actually died. It's a very calming piece. Almost ASMR.

ASMR-ER.

[SteveDave]

I'd like her to die between September and December. Those months are severely lacking in bank holidays.

Yes - I think I read it twice, both times late at night while listening to Aphex Twin's SAW II. The perfect setting.

The most fascinating insights are into the bizarre things that happened when George VI died - buses pulling over and aeroplane passengers spontaneously standing to commemorate him. I also remember a bit that mentions someone loudly expressing their indifference in a pub and the ensuing brawl. As cynical as I am about the Junche-like attitude a lot of British society has towards the royals, surely it can never be like this again?

Well, in 1997, wasn't someone duffed up for washing their car while Di's memorial service was being broadcast?

[Icehaven]

When my ex boss started his new job he walked in on his first day to find an actual shrine to the previous holder of the post (she'd died) complete with candles and a wall of heartfelt messages. Unsurprisingly his tenure there hasn't gone too well (although in his defence, he didn't kill her.) I'd imagine Charles is going to have the same problem times about a million.

But starting a fight during it is the ultimate show of respect.

I remember that day in 1997 because we had to drive from Kent to my in-laws in Swindon, and the roads were incredibly empty. Strange feeling that the only people out, on the roads and in the service areas were mostly fellow republicans.

I get to recapture the feeling every couple of years by being outdoors when England are playing at the World Cup or Euros.

[EOLAN]

I hope her death announcement comes early in the middle of a Glasgow Celtic v Rangers game. So about 12.25pm on a Sunday then.

Footballess pubs when there's a big match on at an already popular drinking time like late Saturday afternoon or similar are glorious, it's possible to get smashed in peace at appropriate time for once.

Best part is Kingslayer Dawson killing George V 'in time for the printing presses of the Times, which rolled at midnight'. Stone cold. "Here your highness, get this fuckton of morphine and cocaine down yer, we don't want to miss the first editions".

Oh I would love it so much if in the end the only available footage on YouTube of Qvin Elizabeth II's death announcement is right in the middle of some grubby porn of some kind.
