Topic: Prince Phillip has died

[24/7]

Be rude not to...

He never made one hundred.
So nearly but not quite.
A dinosaur, a relic.
Who talked a load of shite.
A man who shot the tigers.
And known for racist gaffe.
And now The chase is cancelled.
You're avin a fuckin laugh!

Allez, Allez Allez

superb I fuckin love RAWK...........

[Lee1-6Liv]

So just the 10 BBC radio stations and 3 BBC tv stations paying tribute.

[Samie]

Should we on Rawk lower the shite talked  on here for the day?

[John C]

Cheers....haha feel I have to now after the username change (down to you?)

No mate, someone else

[CraigDS]

Should we on Rawk lower the shite talked  on here for the day?

You requesting we ban you?

[hide5seek]

Oh, dear! Never mind!

[Phil M]

princeship;

1. A male member of a royal family other than the monarch, especially a son of the monarch.
2a. A man who is a ruler of a principality.
b. A hereditary male ruler; a king.
3. A nobleman of varying status or rank.
4. An outstanding man, especially in a particular group or class:


Seeing as I am also a Philip, and a man,and I have been known to have been out standing in my field, could I apply for the title?

[Samie]

You requesting we ban you?

 

Not before you and Al mate.

[CornerFlag]

I'll feel something on a human level for someone who's spent the best part of 74 years with their husband at their side, and now they're gone.  But can't say I'm openly weeping with his passing.

[jillcwhomever]

You requesting we ban you?

They banned Samie the other day, but somehow let him back in. An opportunity lost to be honest.

Same here, its going to be tough for her and the family, but its the same for every family he loses a loved one.

Being a scarecrow doesn’t count Phil.

Hope that turns into a national holiday.

[TSC]

Ongoing coverage on every channel.  Zip chance of catching other news it appears.

[Wabaloolah]

mate txt to say "every Fucking Radio Station full of Phillip!"

How many records did he make!!?

imagine what will happen when the Queen meets her maker. A week of national mourning will be announced.

It's sad for the family that he's gone but from my perspective it's one less sponger clawing money off the state

[Crosby Nick]

No. 10 have just announced they’re going to rename Whitsunday to Shitwumday in Samie’s honour.

[rob1966]

Just put BBC2 on hoping to catch Pointless, its the exact same shite that is on BBC1, just fuck off FFS, its just some fucking Royal who has died.

[TSC]

Bbc1 schedule shows news special from now until breakfast at 6am tomorrow.

At least ITV is taking a break at 6pm today to show regional news.

[Snail]

We’re not even getting a day off for it either, be arsed.

[jillcwhomever]

The BBC can't win, if they don't do this they will get it in the neck. It maybe a good night for a film.

[12C]

Odd feeling this.

I can hardly say I'm gutted, but the guy was a party of the country's cultural furniture.  Whilst I have no doubt he was involved in shady shit that we'll never know about, he may well have also done a lot of good stuff behind the scenes as well.

When my dad died back in 2000, Philip was already the same age Joe Biden is now - and people are always concerned about him being old. I guess it's another loss for that generation.

As much as we love to diss the royal family on here, at least we can say Philip made a far greater contribution to this country and the world than the likes of Donald Trump ever did or will.

Agree there Red.
We can take the piss but he did see active service on the Valiant at Matapan. No coward with bonespurs. Was bombed and then blew the fuck out of three Italian Heavy Cruisers as a Lt

[Hazell]

Fucks sake, today's The Chase cancelled. Now I'm sad.

Looks like Pointless has been cancelled as well. But in another way, it looks like it hasn't.

[TepidT2O]

Apologies for all those who have seen Phillips dead and thought out CB crisis had got far far worse

[Red Beret]

[Andy82lfc]

Just another day to show how completely how out of touch I am with large parts of the culture and population of dog shit island.

Yes it is sad when anyone passes of old age and these days if a cat dies who's owner was once a contestant on countdown it will no doubt get a mention, so a decent bit of coverage was expected. What has surprised me, like others, is the wall to wall coverage, every channel, news station, all radio playing sad songs, seems about 15 light years over the top to me. Just don't get it.

[Red Beret]

Aye.  And all joking aside, it's a pertinent wake up call for where this country will be heading.  Like it or not, this country is tied to the royal family; and most definitely sooner rather than later, the Queen herself will be shuffling off. When that happens, changes will be coming in some form or another.

[Medellin]

The restrictions on people entering & leaving the UK will be relaxed from monday to test whether Fred Flintstone was really married to Wilma.
In honour of his best friend Barney..restrictions on funerals will be limited to 40,000.

I know - it was bad enough when Churchill died......this'll go on for weeks.

[Red Beret]

It's days like this I'm glad I don't have a television.

Ahem...

They've two main channels and all the radio stations, they don't have to cover this on every one.

Gogglebox had better be on later, its part of my Friday night get ready for work routine.

[Millie]

FFS - can't escape this.  Just been on John Lewis website to check something out - and there it is on the main page.

[Wabaloolah]

Was it Philip who said he can’t stand that man (Witchell) or was that Charles?  I can’t remember, no-one likes Witchell.

That was Charles

Nicholas Witchell - “can you tell us how you feel about your father’s upcoming marriage to Camilla Parker-Bowles”

William - “very happy”

Charlie - “These bloody people. I can't bear that man. I mean, he's so awful, he really is”

[Wabaloolah]

Yes love Gogglebox, hadn't even thought of that!!

Even if individual people don't actively mourn, and I wouldn't expect them to (I'm not), at least we should respect the passing of another WWII veteran. One who had no particular reason to fight for us either, yet who did anyway and distinguished himself. I have vastly more liberal views than him, but I can't say that I've done more to make the world a better place than he did, even if you take away all the opportunities he had as a royal to do so.

[TSC]

Apparently Ch4 was going to change its schedule but after viewer pushback it has reverted to its original, except for its news slot at 7 which will as expected now focus on Philip.

Continuous coverage only on BBC it appears. 

[Lad]

Only the US Masters on the telly. Suits me

[jillcwhomever]

I can't keep up with how many channels they have at the moment. Like I said, it will be a film tonight or a series for me just to keep away from it all.

[smutchin]

So just the 10 BBC radio stations and 3 BBC tv stations paying tribute.

Because we're all imbeciles who aren't capable of finding the news channels if that's what we actually want to watch/listen to... It's infuriating.

I have 6music on as background noise while I'm working from home. No disrespect to the old racist bastard, but my deadlines aren't going away just because he has died - I haven't got time to stop and listen to the tributes whether I'm a royalist or not. Just put some fucking music on, you sods!

[killer-heels]

The BBC can't win, if they don't do this they will get it in the neck. It maybe a good night for a film.

Maybe they can stick on more programmes reminding us of how the pandemic started and went last year? They haven’t shown that enough.
