Yes I'm not impressed with the TV this evening, or today for that matter. I'm also not happy that Paul Burrell has been on again. The bloody butler.
They're all independent of each other though. No one channel is going to be seen to be the one that goes in an alternative manner?
(tbh, I rarely watch them anyway).
Honestly, it never fails surprise me some of the low level shite some people post on here in the hope of getting a laugh.

Folks, stop with the insults. A Great man has passed away. You're not allowed to speak about anything other than how perfect he was.
I get where you're coming from and like you I do think some posters on this thread are being nasty for the sake of it (for woke points I suspect), but with regard to timing I don't think it matters too much. A witty remark on Prince Philip's death is witty now and will be so in a year's time, but that's just me.
I can appreciate that, tbf. The current BBC tribute programme has a bloke from the Daily Fail and Penelope Keith. I mean, wtf is that about?
Fecking Paul Burrell. They seem to just roll him out for these sort of things, didn’t hear of him for years until he popped up recently chiming in on the whole Harry and Meghan stuff.
I think it's understandable that some people didn't like him. It's also understandable many don't have time for the Royals. That said some of the rubbish posted has been really crass and childish with anyone who dare not take part be branded a "right winger" or " Royalist" (often using daft text speak in an attempt to garner more "lolz")
As I said, I thought the general was for this kind of dross.
This isn't the DMX thread.
I'm surprised he still gets called.
Thread title update reminds me of this:
As a non-Brit I didn't know much about the guy at all, and I wasn't quite sure if those questionable comments attributed to him throughout the thread were real or just people taking the piss.
But then I saw a video on TV where Prince Philip is telling a boy with two amputated legs to put some wheels on his prostethic limbs.

They’ve cancelled Gardener’s World the fecking maniacs!
Aye I suppose, just seems a bit excessive. I don’t actually watch them too much either it’s my mum that’s pissed her soaps aren’t on.
No, I kind of agree with you. I don't like the institution of the monarchy, but I don't see the need to ridicule a public figure who's died. He had a privileged life (after a very strange and fractured childhood), and for a long time he'd been an old man with inappropriate attitudes that should have been left in the past.
However, he was also the Queen's husband for longer than any of us have lived, and did good things in his life as well as questionable ones.
Rest in peace sweet prince.
The most surprising thing to me in all this is the number of people who seemingly still watch broadcast tv.
Also weird, I have had several American friends sending me their condolences about this. I mean it’s sad news but it won’t effect my life. Do Americans all think we are balling our eyes out or something?
@711 must have been lying about his age again
Where have you been for the ...last 12 months?
Title change sucks.
They probably think you’re related to him.
Would you rather it wasn’t discussed?
Couldn’t even get the name right.
Insensitive but not racist, I found his gaffes hilarious but I hate the cnut and his family.
Because their royalty are the media/film/music stars. They’re obsessed with it; the history,pageantry and of course the scandal
When the Queen Mother died I was on a cruise with lots of Americans. They were coming up and giving me their condolences. I didn't want to be rude, so I just said "Thank you so much, it's so very sad."
In that irreverent David Brent/Alan Partridge kind of way
From the little I've seen of the man, I think he was funny just like someone like Donald Trump was funny to be honest. Like a real life comedy character.
Well, we do have a few posters in their 70s, so maybe that was hyperbole on my part - but you know what I mean. He had a job to do (support the Queen), and he did it for a very long time.
No, in that 'I laughed' kind of way.
He has made millions out of being an ex servant. Must have a fecking good agent
Not likely, have you seen the car crash that is the Brexit thread?
Look, ultimately a man has died and his family will be absolutely devastated. There will obviously be a lot of observers who will be upset by the news. I completely respect that. I wish his family every blessing I can, especially the Queen who has lost the love of her life.
But the absolutely pathetic, opportunistic, faux despair being pedalled by the mass media, and politicians using his death as a political football to once again try and force everyone into being overcome with grief, lest they be accused of being a terrible uncaring human being, is what pisses me off. Fair enough, the jokes when the body is "still warm" are a bit on the nose, but what about folk like Boris using it as an opportunity to stand by a grand lectern showing the cameras how prime ministerial he is? There's probably hundreds of cnuts firing up the printing presses for tomorrow's Special Memorial Edition front pages, and a hundred more cnuts adding the finishing touches to the new shirts and tea cup sets that they can't wait to see sell out on their website. Everyone is at it.
That we're meant to be crying on the streets, or waving flags for a week of national mourning, or that our lives have to be put on hold, or anything because someone who none of us actually know - when right now there's probably a young child dying after having the shit kicked out of them by an abusive parent and someone who had their disability benefits stripped off them by an uncaring system od'ing in their bathtub - is fecking appalling and just a reminder that people in general don't really give a feck when someone they don't know dies. Not unless there's something they can get out of it, such as having people see how sad they look as they stand outside the palace holding their candles in full view of the international press.
