The queue can be seen from space. We did it.
If that doesn't dissuade intelligent alien life from making contact with us, nothing will.
This rather assumes that they haven't already cast an eye over humanity in the last few years and thought "fuck that shit" and moved on.

That's what jobs are for. Avoiding doing any of the actual work you're supposed to until you leave. Was going to say, does anyone here not post during work? Me. No time for this shit in a class full of 30 kids. Of course then you're deluged in my bullshit during the long holidays.

Beckham queuing up to look at the coffin. Cynical me can't help but think of his attempt to get a knighthood. The interviews he gave in the line do not disabuse me of that thought.

If anything the surprise is that he doesn’t have one already

Imagine getting a knighthood for playing football. Just imagine that.

It would be more likely for the huge amount of work he has done for charity.

He’ll get that knighthood even if he has to crack the coffin open and tape a sword into her stiff, dead hands.

About 15 other footballers have been knighted.

I thought you had to plan lessons and do marking in the holidays or was that a lie Planning, yeah (or shifting a classroom full of shit to a different classroom I have to use next year) but 80% of my holidays are my own. If you've ever worked in a school you'll know why they need to be that long too. Imagine a child's birthday party on a loop, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 40 weeks a year, none of the other parents stay and there are no bouncy castles and you have to do maths and spelling as two of the fun activities at every party every day. And writing.

The Queue is now ensnaring its participants for 19.5 hours, with cold overnight temperatures forecast: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62933685Someone's gonna die waiting. The queue will consume us all.
it's like a real life version of Snake.

Someone I work with is getting a coach at 3am to join the queue. He seems otherwise sane.

I know we voted Brexit and all that but I’m still shocked just how many lunatics live here. Queue for 20 hours to walk past a wooden box that may or may not have the remains of a pensioner in it?
Sounds reasonable

I've seen this wording a few times of late - is there any legit reason to suspect that the coffin (assuming that's what's under those flags!) *doesn't* contain the Queen's corpse? Just curious.

As I've used some wording like that, I can only say that I'm just being lazy and cynical. No real evidence at all. But given how us serfs are treated generally it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a stack of empty Ricicles boxes under the flag.

There was a lady on the radio this morning who said "it's great to have something bigger than yourself", and I can absolutely understand how people might feel like that at the moment.
We've had a lot of exceptional issues impacting us as individuals recently - not to mention constant noise about what is looming over the horizon - and this is an opportunity (and yes, an excuse) to escape from real life responsibilities for a while, and possibly to feel safer as part of a collective.

Some ex-squaddie on the news was going on about how she was 'the only queen I've ever loved'.
Which was 😳 but also begs a few questions.
Grief hyperbole ftw i guess?
