Sorry I forgot it was a discussion forum there for a wee minute

Whinge away here all you want. I doubt anyone in charge of scheduling at RTÉ will see it though.

Bit like all the whinging for years on here about FF/fg west Brit RTÉ partitionist blah blah blah.

Some change now

I wish, on a boat at the minute, but you've had some posts on here about the queen, which would suggest you're obsessed.

Your failed attempts to wind up those shinners is pretty poor though

I work in a doctors surgery so I'm off by default 

You've made about 15 posts there yourself lol.

Now don't be getting "unsettled" and you away from home for god's sake.

Like I said you'll be at work, you'll not see anything so you'll be grand

So you're not going to complain about it to RTÉ then?

RTÉ a chara

RTÉ showing funeral? Shocking if they are

RTÉ One, 10.30am - 12.30pm tomorrow.

"Ray Kennedy presents a special programme featuring coverage of the state funeral from Westminster Abbey, London, with Kate Egan providing commentary on the ceremony"

https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/listings/television/#!/rte1/2022-09-19

In fairness, it's gonna be a cheapish two hour filler on a weekday morning of a major international event that's not going to displace anything significant in the schedule, in between The Ellen DeGeneres Show & another 'murican show The Doctors.

Shouldn't be on. Full stop

Methinks thou doth protest too much

Would it make it OK if the funeral was on TG4?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

stay strong guys. One more day of the circus to go. Tho this is gonna be a long one (and i read ten days of mourning afterwards so fcuk knows what that entails)

I genuinely think people need to have some perspective, on all sides, in this issue. Whether we like it or not we are inextricably linked to Britain and whether we like it or not the death of the longest reigning monarch in the history is a seismic event. The political and social ramifications of it will be felt across the globe. England and by extension Britain is one of the worlds most influential countries. That influence is waining at the minute but London is still one of the worlds most powerful cities. This is a historic event and we need to recognise that.

RTÉ are entitled to show it, and in fact it is sensible to do so. I don't agree with essential services being closed but there's no issue with other businesses closing down. On the flip side I don't like the nazi-like approach of forcing or threatening businesses that don't close down.

This is a real time of historic change world wide and this is part of it. I will sit at home today, maybe watch it, maybe not, but I'm not going to get too wrapped up in the whys and what fors either as come tomorrow it will be over and the world will keep turning.

It's different when it's not part of your identity. A lot of RTE viewers will be watching  for the celebrity angles.

What's this gibberish?

[Wildweasel74]

There's a lad in front of the navy (carrying the coffin,) must be over 7ft

Mighty weather for the show.

If you crack a joke in public before 29th September you're beheaded.

Didn't see many under 30s there today. Reminded me of the Catholic Church.
