Ha ha. It's only a 15 minute video. Wait until you have to live through it for ten days!

Tbh I think this video is a bit optimistic to what will actually happen. - This video talks about how the whole world is mourning their queen, when in reality the gammons of England and the weird royal fetishists of the USA will be the only one legitimately sad. That is a large amount of people, but if it were to happen soon, I don't know if England will necessarily come to a crushing halt because of mourning. I don't the world will be that enthralled with Charles as the new king of england, doubt he'd attract as much tourism and hopefully at some point we abolish the royal family

I think it will be a big deal....and will be maybe a bit chaotic as no one likes Charles.

Dear lord...  TV is at its absolute worse today 🙂   Royal Propaganda bullshit 🙂  Every rent a ghost talking head is at it 🙂

What is funny is I was watching BBC News as the it broke.  I am 99% sure that the women presenting changed out of her top for a black one before breaking the news.  They must keep a black top backup for such an occasion.

They do, Peter Sissons got himself into some hot water in 2002 when he didn’t change his purple tie after the news that the Queen Mother had died

"And breaking news... Oh hang on, it's something major, I've just got to get changed"

Are they going to be doing this mourning shit until his funeral? Surely not. I mean, it's sad when anyone dies...but surely most people don't give a flying shit about prince phillip. I'm sure a lot of young people don't even know who he is...

BBC news asked an 8 year old about it and she was very upset according to a reporter ..... they didnt show the clip of the interview though ... so I think they just made it up

Enforced mourning.

Driven me to drink, every radio station sounding like smooth fm  doesn't help. Can't believe that the media have got the feel of the nation so wrong, it's 2021 not the 1970s, we're in the middle of a global crisis ffs.

It's completely bonkers. I've been fuming all day! I'm really shocked that we get this for him. Will have to book a last minute holiday when the queen kicks it as I can't cope with this on steroids.

Wouldn’t be surprised if everywhere is closed even traveling anywhere could be difficult. Invest in a PlayStation instead and ignore the outside world for a while

    • It was great, but I don't know why they continue to play Wide Lovely Eyes and Rings of Saturn, which are the weakest of the tracks off both PTSA and ST. Well, I do. It's cos they're about Suzie, so he can sing what he wants. They're the low points of the set. The rest is ace.
    • I didn't this time, but I've seen them before and just because you saw both that night doesn’t mean you can compare them. The Stones were great, but.you didn't think so and you went somewhere else looking for a good time and you found it. For whatever reason you didn't like it, but you were an outlier and all the reviews said they were great.
    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, i.e a verbal agreement for 2028, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD
