I'm struggling to understand the criticism of the media covering his death.  He's served his country for over 70 years. It would be odd if the country, or any country in such circumstances, didn't acknowledge it.

I'm sure we can all put up with no Emmerdale for an evening or the Daily Mail souvenir issue clogging up the supermarket aisles.

I'm not fussed either way tbh. Meida over-kill or low key approach. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

But I respect his passing the same way I'd respect the passing of any old man. At the end of the day, Royals or not, lots of people have lost a husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather etc etc and that's what's important here.

Everytime a person who has served the country - doctor, teacher, nurse, social worker, librarian - I want all tv stations to pause, nothing to be shown, and only Coldplay on every radio station for 24 hours.

It's respect innit.

Dunno. Had a nice chat this week with them, I think they want more direct digital media buying experience. They said they'd let me know next week after all the interviews. Interesting to hear how the music industry has changed over the last 12 months.

Anyway, I have a mate who would be better suited and he's had a really shitty year so I let my recruiter know and redone his CV so it gets through their screening process.

Is there a set measurement to how long a tribute can go on the news ?, I bet the tories are loving this to bury all the shite what is happening in NI

 

Said the same to my missus... this is the time when Government spin doctors can bury lots of bad news

Oh I just like winding some of them up.

I don’t think anyone has been wound up, you’ve just made a dick of yourself.

Nah, I just think, for balance, it's important to knock some of the smug, self centred rhetoric that gets bandied around this place.

Again if you think I'm.a dick, I'm happy to be one - context is all.

Edit - interesting auto correct 😄
