    the press here in the uk have been publising comments and tributes made by foreign dignitaries.

    macron said this, biden said that, the king of belgium said such and such, even mick jagger was quoted etc. etc.

    strange that lurch and prayuth seem to have remained silent so far.

    And I guess you think Ramkamhaeng actually came up with Thai script, right Numpty?

    None so blind as those who don't want to see, and you're an ardently dim white stick waver.

    ...Phil seemed like a fine drinking partner...I admire his willingness to waste a life for a title, but there are compensations, I suppose (except, of course, for Charles)...

    Bloody ell, Nammers. He had 99 years of luxury paid for by other people.

    I don't think he'd be too upset that people are doing a bit of pisstaking now he's trotted off to the big palace in the sky.

    I don't think anyone here would swap places given that virtually every single day involves have to open arts centres, give speeches, and get force fed cucumber sandwiches and the like.

    Him and Liz have earned their keep in my book.

    As I said in the RIP thread, I wonder if she will now consider standing down and giving jug ears a go or if she's worried that he'll start talking to plants again.

    More than, and she had no choice really, he neither given his feelings for her. Not a position i'd like to be faced with, they have my admiration - i'd not swap thieir so called "Easy" existence for mine any day. What i have found distasteful in this thread is posters who think that their positiin lends them to ridiicule in their grief, no one deserves that imo.

    I think there are quite people who would gladly trade a life of indulgence and opulence (and opening the odd arts centre) in exchange for theirs.

    It must be a suvvern thing.

    Anyway, come on Nammers, you're British. It's what we do, we take the piss and especially so when faced with something dark or unsettling. No harm meant.

    I edited my post 'cos Harry was referring specifically to the people here but, still, suggesting that royals have it tough is laughable really.

    Presumably, you're of the same opinion regarding jokes about the Titanic, Michael Jackson etc etc?

    Just think regardless of their position some diignitiy is called for. Imagine the same jokes on here about a president of the USA, do you fondly imagine they would be allowed and not mod'd.

    Of course they would. US presidents have been getting it on here on various threads over the years and I'm sure that the same rules would be applied when the inevitable gallows humour appeared should one of them kark it anytime soon.

    Anyway, to each their own if you find it all a bit distasteful. I can understand your point of view.

    Yes but my comment calling Bsnub out for being disrespectful in this thread and suggesting if the same comments were made about Biden got deleted, no other post , just that in this thread and there was no abuse or swearing in it. That is the environment.

    just like some consistency.

    ^ There are a lot more.

    A funny bloke and clearly one those with humour (teachers) didn't like, met him briefly and i think he'd be a scream on the piss, if you were buying that is.

    Let's not gloss this over: he was a product of his time but still a casual racist. He got away with it by being portrayed as a bumbling fool while he was alive, but the reality is darker.

    Yes, as TC also said earlier in the thread, probably brilliant on the piss, but those of us who aren't dinosaurs would still be squirming at his comments.
