Sad news and have no problem with tributes even if a few of them are perhaps polishing the person he was (hardly unique for the recently deceased mind), but the BBC seem to have unilaterally decided that all fun is cancelled forthwith, which doesn't really sit well with the role the Royals play in Britain today. Pretty sure even the wildest royalist doesn't really give a shit whether or not country cricket coverages continues on the BBC website.

Its all very 1997 isn't it, I vividly remember that as I was erecting a marquee for the Naturists Caravan Club of the UK the week Diana died and it was ambient music all the way on Radio 1!

I see its going to be wall to wall Nicholas Witchell for the next week, albeit rumours that he arrived at Windsor castle this morning with a fish supper, a fishing rod and a four pack have not been confirmed.

Don't think so, he is entitled to the whole stat funeral business but apparently always wanted a private low key affair, which I imagine in the present situation will be a hell of a lot easier to arrange and manage.

I'm appalled that you're posting on a football forum instead of going out into the street to rend your clothing, pull out your hair and beat yourself into unconsciousness in a public display of grief. Has this country learned nothing from Diana?

This warrants another WTF.

I just don't get it.  He was 99 FFS.  I couldn't understand the national wailing and teeth gnashing in '97 (very sad etc, taken too young, Queen of Hearts etc etc etc, but what a reaction), and now with Phil the Greek throwing a 6, Pointless isn't on.

Of course RIP, sorry for Her Madge etc etc but do we really need all this mularkey???

Apologies if not reading the room correctly...

There are also way more TV channels these days so I don't think the mourning coverage needs to be on every single bloody channel. Surely that's what the BBC News channel is literally for isn't it?

I was looking forward to the masterchef final as well!  Bad Mood
