Bee Google trends, top search: is it ok to wear stripes to a funeral?

the bees thing is nice, i think it's thoughtful to keep them informed

I've read longer sentences

WATCH: The Clerk of the Accession Council read the world’s longest sentence at the end of which (you’ll have to wait) he declares Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, King Charles III.

meanwhile back in the correct world:

My son, Perceval, since learning of Her Majesty's death has been locked away in his art studio taking his grief out on the canvas. What he has painted is, quite frankly, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. He has called it "HM and Harambe, best of friends" pic.twitter.com/U7C1LPsk0R

it's a miracle that these sub-human lizard people actually live so long and don't get murdered by their staff

suspect that elderly tantrum-boy here is gnna turn out to be very bad at a lot of similar things the recently departed was in fact better at

stoked for it tbh lol, he is a very disappointed man and that's not going to change

just read that rumour that his staff have keep boiling eggs and throwing them out when he goes for a walk. If there isn't a perfect boiled one ready on demand when he get's back he throws a strop.

forget when or where i read this, years and years ago, but he's an absolute testy stickler for being called YOUR HIGHNESS, which is a word whose insecure silliness just screams at you as soon as you break it down

I read ages ago that someone else brushes his teeth for him, and I always thought that couldn't be true, but looking at him today I could believe it.

I’ve read somewhere that he has a servant to hold his peen while he pees!

also comrade alph iirc

😭😭😭

on my morning walk noticed one lone house in the neighborhood flying the union jack and loled grimly to myself

spare a thought for that saddo pom

was it half mast tho

I’m not gonna sit here and apologize for most any of this nonsense but I’d like to say a simple “actually that’s kind of sweet” offering to the Twitter thing upthread about the bees, which is an ancient and basically mythological English tradition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telling_the_bees

nope, full mast… hmm… maybe they were celebrating? tip o the hat if so

ok telling the bees is hilarious i love it

it's a pan-european tradition!!

and for maximum chaos: "Bees could also be invited to the funeral.[5][6]"

it’s downright dotty

meanwhile the bees are like WE DONT CARE WE’RE BLOODY BEES

they like to feel informed

what a time to get killfiled :(

meanwhile the bees are like WE DONT CARE WE’RE BLOODY BEES

Nah, that's too waspish for bees.

Patter not chronic enough

🤨

I was taking a dump during the announcement. It felt wrong and disrespectful to continue it, so as a mark of respect, I stopped. I will resume after my ten days of mourning.

one of our managers came into the shop today and told me to remove Tom Bowers book 'Revenge'( his Harry + Meghan vs the rest of the monarchy biography) from display because it was disrespectful at the current time and was likely to cause offence!! surprised I wasn't instructed to burn it tbh. bit of a cheek considering we currently display Rushdie's ' The Satanic Verses' on the same shop floor which I would guess offends far more people( ie more than zero)than some hack biography. still guess it offends people who aren't as important. lol cancel culture actually exists for once.

of course 30 mins later some women came in and asked if we had it, so I sold her a copy.

Nice.

Astonishing figure @BBCNews just cited - that a third of the UK might have met the Queen, given all her efforts to meet the public

— Bronwen Maddox (@bronwenmaddox) September 10, 2022

And every person she met started a band.

lmao

meeting the queen should be a euphemism for jerking off or taking a dump or something for if it’s not already
