Hold onto your hats, it’s going to be a bumpy ride
From
Facebook archive, with many expletives

Royalists
should not read on ...
I walked
into town to put some Ernie cheques into Barclays (3milesish).
Metro home.
Let myself in and sit in the rocker to recover
from my exertions.
Fester comes down,
sweeps into the living room, looks at me and announces
"Prince Philip's
dead."
Then "Bargain Hunt is
off", in disgust.
"Even the
rolling cricket commentary is off", with even more disgust.
"He was 99 for f*cks sake! What the f*ck did they expect him to do? The f*cking Macarena? If they cancel Pointless Thunderthighs will be
livid."
Then a little later
"One thing about Covid, we'll be spared a f*cking great funeral."
Now we
are in the office "For f*cksake cat get off the f*cking computer. I don't
know what you want. I wish you did."
And now
"I don't know what you're sitting on cat but I wish you weren't, it's
driving it f*cking nutty."
Mrs
JD You have me in stitches!!!!
Miss
Doozer A response in the fine tradition of Phil
Mountbatten himself
Sheamus
Murphy Mrs Murphy and I had a similar chat (but
rather less swearing!)
The BBC's chief Royal sycophant reporter is in his
element
Bentonbag
"Nicholas Witchell isn't it? Watching that my f*cking blood
pressure would go through the f*cking roof!"
I recently purchased a blood
pressure testing machine. Shall we try it?
I just
said brightly "We might get a day off for the funeral."
"That's
all we f*cking want, another f*cking day off."
Miss Doozer
To be fair, I wouldn't mind a f*cking day off...
Sheamus Murphy Possibly the one sentiment you, me, Fester and
the Prince of Wales share:
"At
a press conference at the Swiss ski resort of Klosters, Witchell asked Charles,
Prince of Wales, how he and his sons were feeling about his forthcoming
marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. After a response from his son Prince
William, the Prince of Wales said under his breath, and referring to Witchell:
"These bloody people. I can't bear that man.
I mean, he's so awful, he
really is.""
Bentonbag
And now we've had a text from Thunderthighs
"Is Pointless on
tonight and if so, which channel and what time?"
I replied "Don't know, sorry".
It's going to be squally around teatime.
Miss Doozer
Looks like they've blocked out the BBC1 schedule so it might be on BBC2
if anywhere.
Bentonbag
I didn't tell him we'd looked at the BBC1 schedule and it's 'continued
coverage following the death' from now until breakfast time. And it looks the same on BBC2. And it will be almost exactly the same on the
News channel. Thank God for Talking Pictures TV
(Sky 328 Freeview 81 Freesat 306 Virgin 445) and the Tivo box.
Oh joy BBC1, 2 and News channel all covering this continuously from now
until breakfast time.
Thank God for
Tivo.
The Squireen
Why on all channels, it doesn’t make sense
Sheamus Murphy
And on Twitter (in case you missed it!)
Miss Fiddle
And all the BBC and other radio stations...
Sheamus Murphy
Quick, go here before Thunderthighs gets upset! Pointless, Series 25: Episode 3: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000ty96 via @bbciplayer
Bentonbag
Thanks but we saw that yesterday.
English Master Gardening with Carol Klein Channel 5 now!
Bentonbag
I'm not that desperate, I've 39 episodes of Say Yes To The Dress on the
tivobox.
Mr E Twin
And ITV by the look of it
Mrs DeLune
I suppose if people gather in London Phillip will kinda get his wish to
come back as a fatal virus ...
Drummerman
Not quite sure what the developing news story is: “99 year old dies -
still dead”.
Mrs A Net
Feeling the same the Archers was cancelled
Bentonbag
Dear God No! Let's hope they
don't forget and cancel the Today programme or the nuclear subs will start
firing.
Mrs Leftfoot
I've just come in from work and read this...what a laugh. It's the way
you tell 'em. X
Bentonbag
Thank you - I think ...
Mrs Leftfoot
Laughing with you, never at you. I managed to miss it all as I was
working a later shift...

I've just
scanned all my facebook archives (since 2009) and it appears I've never posted
anything on 10 April. Goodness know what I'll put in tomorrow's blog. All I have is Fester's reaction to Philip
Windsor's passing and that's a bit too strong for immediate regurgitation.
Drummerman Don’t think he took her indoors’ name on marriage,
so probably really Mountbatten né Battenberg...
Kingsmen Cameraman Mountbatten since 1947, previously named Glücksburg
- which must have been tricky while in the Royal Navy during WW2.
