I think my phone is being crushed under the weight of all the memes. I've never known anything like it. Relentless

Where were you when you learned the Queen had died? I was leaning over to my computer, chortling, to find some footage of Brendan Rodgers for a colleague. I was on the slip road onto the A47 dual carriageway accelerating hard, and had the odd feeling that some fool was just going to stop their car in front of me as I believe some Yanks did when they heard JFK had been shot. No-one did, but it felt odd thinking most folk driving alongside me were listening to the same news. |

When I got home I had my first drink in 4 days. To her, not him.

Having a new King, who’s quite old, makes the country seem like a really sclerotic, backward looking place.

So, we get some new coins and banknotes? Sweet.

Perhaps Charles III will bring the monarchy up to date with a more relaxed iconography on the currency to replace that tired profile pose. Perhaps the Fonzie double point at the observer? Or looking back over his shoulder with some cool shades, like Dave Angel Eco Warrior?

I notice Tenth Enemy has slept through everything. A sensible plan. I opened one eye to read the BBC app alert. |

On the £50 note.
Not so much on the smaller coins.

Does the national anthem change now?
I think I was more upset by Weatherall's death, I had some great nights out watching that dude. I don't think Lizzy ever spun the vinyl in Sheffield.

What was the upshot on the question of Camilla's title? Queen or nay?
Edit: Ah, I see it's "Queen Consort".
Queen Consorts haven't been the same since Freddy Mercury died.

What was the upshot on the question of Camilla's title? Queen or nay? From the horse's mouth. Queen consort. Like Adam Lambert. |

I was doing the online Tesco shop whilst listening to Morcheeba through my airpods on the bog. The 'newsflash' came up on my phone screen whilst I was browsing crusty bread (after choosing my soup). I snapped off, and wiped extra thoroughly (as she would have wanted). I marked the solemnity of the occasion by not skanking round the kitchen to the beat drop on Trigger Hippie., then I had a can of diet Fanta. God rest the soul of a selfless monarch. |

muffratRe: Fenyx Immortal etc, i watched a member of my household play that through during lockdown 1. It looked a good take on the open world/puzzle format, plus the Greek myth stuff was cool, though probably a bit samey if you've played others in the same vein. Games chat!
