If she dies I think it's only right that we remove the green laughing smiley for the month.
Queen Elizabeth II | 1926-2022 | Rest in Peace

This and the one about the second plane have had me in hysterics
I thought the British were famous for having a crude sense of humour.
Apparently celebrating and openly making jokes about an old woman dying is more acceptable than wishing injury on a football player. The latter will get you mobbed and run out of the forum with virtual pitchforks
I can live without actively mocking the given royal but if you're mocking the state of the song and dance around the institution at times like this you can have free reign in my book. I'll have some fecking respect for the British establishment when they have some fecking respect for me and my class.
Leave Britney alone
Give it to Meghan till the end of the season!

Queen Elizabeth II has agreed terms with her maker. Here we go. Free transfer, no fees. Prince Charles to take charge of first team training from Monday morning. #RIP #HRH
She's not going to leave you any money mate.
Jesus I hope not, she's only 41.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like she'll last till this weekend, if indeed she hasn’t already passed
It’s not as easy as you’d think. Some folk wither away slowly and you can make that decision pretty easily, others, particularly the ones that are pretty sprightly for their age, just fall off a cliff.
Theres been a fair few occasions I come in to see someone and I think ‘fecking hell, what the hell happened to you?! You were fine a couple of days ago and now you look like a bag of shit’.
There’s a thread in the general and one in here about the same topic.
Assumed the one in here is meant to be for the more serious updates?

they're acting as if the world has ended. a 96 year old woman has died. historically important. ok. my suspicion that this would resemble stalin levels of insanity and hysteria appears to have been on point.
the levels of indoctrination are impressive. when stalin died everyone in the west said "look at how they all pretend to care about him because they're afraid of what happens if they don't mourn". explain this one to me, then. none of you knew this woman. you saw her on television. maybe you met her once at a mass meet and greet. it's madness.

I am not celebrating the queen dying and wish her nothing but peace but hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of the royal family as it is in the UK and for that I am delighted.
After what she has said in her podcast. Probably wise
Think there's an embargo until 6pm, I expect an announcement in 1 hour 15 minutes that she's passed.
There's rumours that ITV is already readying the death outcome news, and BBC too. This is the time they're preparing to break the news in full IMO.
Where have you seen this?
This is slightly better than the one in the general forum.
There’s no fecking way they cancel Europa league fixtures, is there? Why should Real Sociedad fans have their fun ruined?!
This whole project is a farce imo. Hopefully in 100 years they'll look back at this and laugh about the media hysteria for an event like this.
Getting smashed 5-0 by Ten Hag's boys will not be fun!
Twitter rumours, nothing concrete.
But the BBC said earlier (officially) all programmes suspended until 6PM which would make sense if there's an embargo to release the news.
Outlets would need time to prepare everything, although they'll already have media prepared you'd think.
Politicians wearing black, the family all gathering and the media paying tribute to her already... and then trying to say IF she does, I think it's pretty much saying she's passed.
I haven't had this feeling since Lady Diana passed.
The Death of Stalin film did pop in my head when thinking about all the royals turning up around her deathbed.
Racing each other in through the gates of Balmoral in their Range Rovers.
More important things than football, but I can see the clubs cancelling the fixture or they'll look bad publicly.
"Manchester United are playing football on the day of the Queens death"

Me either. I felt almost from the beginning that she had passed. The only thing I don't feel I know is when they announce. I think they wait until Harry is there then they announce.
Makes sense. I agree she’s likely passed but yes if the BBC have said that then it suggests something will be announced at 6pm
Cancelling the transfer?
And who gives a shit about the type of gobshite who would think Manchester United look bad for fulfilling their commitments?
The devil wins a 96 year long game, the red devils should get to win too
Black and white cafe for the rest of the year?
I’m getting more and more angry about the idea that the Europa league games should be cancelled…
So will the national anthem now change to god save the king?
Ok.
Rough 24 hours for Rangers fans, mind you.
Well said.
You and me both chap
Would be a bit perverse to carry on singing "God save the Queen", when she was dead!
Yes, obviously.
That's what I figured, but I wasn't sure if songs change etc. It just all seems a bit surreal doesn't it.
Yes.
Cancelling the game sorry
