In the depths of wikipedia i've just discovered that jeremy clarksons parents made the first prototype paddington bear.

They made a bootleg toy of an existing character

Nearly every news outlet inc. all the international 24 news channels are going big on QE2's death.
She got full front page photos on The Guardian and FT.

Things have rarely if ever, been worse with so many horrible things happening that news bulletins can't begin to cover them all.
Now for maybe a week, nothing will get reported properly and loads bad news will get buried.

The Pakistan flooding disaster, Ukraine, energy crisis, food shortages, climate change all gone off the radar.
Never mind Syria, Yemen, multiple droughts and famines and hundreds other disasters, with far worse pending

the queen is more important than any plebs travelling or working outdoors

I was at the Bord Gàis theatre last night and they asked for a minutes silence. They had the Irish cast member read out the request and lead the silence, and her hands were shaking the whole time. It was as a tad tense.

the most tragic thing of all about the old lady dying is that I can't find a way to make it be about me

I get you, man
But the amount of tone-policing going on from Irish establishment figures is massively noticeable

Listen to LiveLine right now and it's not quite as fawning as the BBC, but not far off. Unlistenable.

I get this sense - and I might be imagining it - that there are people embarrassed by anyone who would show us up in front of the English. That to be anything other than regarding English royalty as wonderful is to be unevolved and backward.


But yeah, there's been a lot of takes. But it's arguably the biggest death of the 21st century so far.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

The fawning is unbearable. But as an Irishman in the viper's nest you can't complain. Hung for it, or at least lose your job.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

and it's funny, lots of right on people who are like "down with foodbanks, tories stink, solidarity with the workers" are suddenly mad queen lovers. silly buggers

 

[Deadmanposting]

I have had about the best day in a while and I am sorry it's about some nonagenarian shuffling off, but it's been surreal

I got a text from a friend this morning telling me "Jedward are openly making jokes about the dead queen"
And I chuckled for 2 minutes just at the sentence

The world is a fucking hilarious place
And we are deluded to think we can bring order to it or make sense of it

Just enjoy every moment you get to breathe air
