This is getting worse. One guy is too grief-stricken to speak, in a roomful of people eating marmalade sandwiches!!

We all know the queen didn't really eat the sandwich. There probably wasn't even marmalade in it, just two slices of bread.

There's a 120-page pullout in the Daily Mail tomorrow if you need to know more about the queen.

Thank God that's finally over.
Completely over the top, fawning, sychophantic and pretty embarrassing on a world stage.

All my own opinion, but at least we can crack on with normality now. Back to the real world.

Good job you weren’t around when King George died then. 12 days of it and no work.

Caught me in a grumpy mood today. :)
Felt the need to drink too much yesterday to numb the pain of being forced to watch a bit of the afternoon coverage. I managed to miss the entire morning so thought I was on a roll....

Just switched on Sky News. It's not over where I am, camera's outside Windsor palace showing the flags at half-mast, showing some of the clean-up and replaying events of the last week. :roll:

And WTF was the Japanese premier doing here? He should have stayed at home to manage the Typhoon crisis!

Royal portraits have come a long way in the last 1000 years. If I was Edgar the Peaceful I'd execute the git that did this one!
