Closer as the crow flies (the pesky river gets in the way when you're driving)
8:06 am
MollyL
I can't believe how many people are lining the streets to see the coffin mobile
8:06 am
mattygroves
Some of the villagers are running a little ferry service across the river, in aid of (I think) the Alzheimer's Society
8:07 am
Flask1
Well, they'll never see the likes again
8:08 am
mattygroves
About 3 miles as the crow flies
8:10 am
MollyL
How do people in the UK feel about the new king?
8:12 am
mattygroves
At the moment, I think they're respectful and he's been helping out by walking about and speaking with some of the public queuing for the lying in state. In general, I think some are dubious. But it's early days yet
8:30 am

Fulsom Street? a US city's version of the red light district in Amsterdam?
9:58 am
MollyL
I just looked at the web site. Now we have to be "inclusive" of the kink, leather and bondage communities? Will they start showing up on our TV shows?
9:59 am
rururocks
it's a ya gotta go once to see it kind of thing.. it's about as weird as it gets
10:00 am
cybernan
I don't really think a display of depravity is anything I would cross the street to look at! Sorry!
10:04 am
rururocks
it's kind of like going to Fisherman's Wharf for people into leather and studs :D
10:04 am
MollyL
Nope, not seeing Nan participating. Not in a million years. Take her to a curling match instead. Those are her kind of big, beefy men.
10:04 am
rururocks
with brooms
10:05 am
MollyL
Speaking of big beefy men, I have never seen a big ass quarterback get dumped as many times as Wentz did yesterday. The Redskins should be ashamed of themselves. What a terrible game.
10:09 am
rururocks
he's not a great quarterback. he just doesn't have what it takes
10:10 am
MollyL
Well, yesterday he didn't have any protection.
10:12 am
rururocks
he had a lot of protection in Philly.. it didn't make any difference

just watching the royal procession to the abbey. Considering his own extra'marital affair and how harsh he thought his father was, I am disappointed that the King is treating Prince Andrew and Prince Harry so harshly.
