The Official RIP Thread

[JuanPabloAngel]

Phil the Greek checks out, aged 99.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Yeah, just seen it on BBC.

Rest In Peace Phillip.

That means I won't get the National Anthem played on my birthday any longer...........

 

[sirdennis]

They have just played it on Radio 5

Our thoughts with Harry and Meghan at this difficult time, because they’ll be suffering more than anyone

 

[sirdennis]

Crusty old goat , he can't complain at 99.

Two things come to mind immediately.

I hope they don't mess with the scheduling on the telly today as the racing is on later.

Also I hope the rules are observed for the funeral.

Sad for the family especially the Queen! That's it really.

A royal funeral should not be happening right now with the pandemic.

It will though I'm sure and it won't be for 18 or less people socially distanced like we have here in York

 

[BodyButter]

RIP Phil

 

[SKEGGY]

Meghan has released a statement “The funeral has already happened it was just the coffin, Harry, The Archbishop of Canterbury and myself in the back garden of our cottage.

Remembering Phil the Greek...

Plenty more where these came from

“If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes,” he remarked to 21-year-old British student Simon Kerby during a visit to China in 1986.

“Do you still throw spears at each other?” he asked Aboriginal leader William Brin at the Aboriginal Cultural Park in Queensland in 2002.

“Do people trip over you?” he asked a wheelchair-bound nursing-home resident in 2002.

“Who do you sponge off?” he asked women at a community centre in Barking and Dagenham in 2015.

“Are you all one family?” he asked of multi-ethnic dance troupe Diversity at the Royal Variety Performance in 2009.

Do we get a day off?.

If not.

Not interested.

 

[sirdennis]

WTF . Absolute are playing solemn music in his memory

Songs so far include one pile of real dirge by Ed Sheeran , and Redemption Song , which I am sure the irony is not lost.

9th April 2021 the day it was announced Jack Grealish had played his last game for Villa. He made a below average team and manager look good!

Deserves a bank holiday at the very least.

 

[colavfc]

Be interesting to see if Harry is allowed to go to the funeral.
Suppose it depends is markle has her passport back.

BBC1 and BBC2 have suspended all non-news programmes for the rest of the day. A bit OTT surely?

If only the BBC had a dedicated news channel to cover this...

FFS that means pointless will be on BBC2 again and an old old episode! I'll have to watch the Chase at 5 PM instead of 6 PM on ITV plus. Waits for someone to tell me ITV are doing the same

No KK, there will be no non-news programmes whatsoever. Same news coverage on BBC 1 and 2 for the rest of the day.

Looks similar on ITV according to the Sky planner.

Finding it hard to cope.

Oh Dear Lord, why do you take the rich, old, privileged people first?
