Okay, it's September 20th and I have some time to possibly entertain you with whatever kind of nonsense these two spew. The title today is "Highlights of Queen's Funeral, Singing BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY & Should We Support Ukraine."
Nadia is wafting some essential oil under Mark's nose. It has some frankincense and is supposed to calm one's self. They launch into the images from the Queen's funeral.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am worn out. I have a high regard for Elizabeth II, but I didn't expect it to hit me in such a big way. Nadia asks Mark if he has grandchildren, what is he going to say to them about it.
I'm girdling my loins for Mr. Verbose's response. Just when I was expecting something that resembles elocquent, he says he can't hone in on one specific thing.
Whomp, whomp. What? The lying in state? The children/grandchildren doing their vigils? Wee George and Charlotte? Her pony Emma and the corgis? The flowers? I loved the Mounties at the head of the procession back to BP. The beautiful service with the creepy Bach music? The crowds? The military bands? The lone piper? The wand being broken? Major Johnny? Welby shading Hazno and the wife. THE CANDLE BLOCKING MEGHAN'S FACE? He mentions history happening in front of your eyes, so that is something, I guess. Oh here we go. "I don't get this national pride thing. I think with nationalism there is something suspicious."
It was her Majesty's funeral, not a National Front rally. "And yet I felt pride about something. I dunno, I felt a sense of I dunno."
Do you know anything? Nadia says it was breathtaking, mentions the piper and that jogs or in Mark's words has "broken his memory" and mentions the departing piper. Nadia says she didn't know that was meant to be.
You wot? "So part of the music is to walk away, so it fades." Nadia goes on about the pallbearers and it being so beautiful. Someone in chat mentions the crown, orb and septre being removed. Someone else mentioned it as a funeral for the country and of course, Mark knows exactly what they mean.
Nadia mentions their trip to Hyde Park to get a spot and in true Sadderley fashion, that turned out to be a joke, just like their broadcasts. "I was just so touched by the care that was given to the body, the body in there."
Not like in Iran when they jostled the Ayatollah Khomeini"s coffin and his body fell out! Yeah, I'm going to hell. Back to Nadia and her one woman crusade against evil, crime ridden London. She states she never feels safe there, always vigilant, but she had the strange feeling of being safe.
Yes, that happens when you have cops surrounding the joint and sharp shooters ready to take someone's head off. "When we do things properly, we really do it with such perfection. I'm not a nationalist in anyway, but I felt a real sense of pride and being looked after almost..."
Patriotic. Your feel patriotic and that is not a bad thing. She goes on about feeling sad for the people whose family have died during COVID and she isn't resentful, just "poignant thoughts." Apparently Mark has been grieving his nan again and she other people she has lost. "It's been a kind of cleansing, cathartic thing." MeTube said the magic was lost when they realized the orb, septre and crown were fastened.
Nadia is besotted with Princess Charlotte. Nadia mentions Sophie Wessex getting all verklempt when the coffin went down and said she was very close to Philip.
She was close to the Queen you dipstick! Mark mentions the hymns and the get this, the tunes, that didn't have any resonance to him.
Because you are a basic heathen, ill-mannered guttersnipe? He did like Welby's speech.
Sermon. Mention of Sandra Oh as a member of the Canadian delegation.
Whoop dee doo dah, she hasn't lived in Canada for decades. "'Those who cling to power and priveleges will soon be forgotten.'"
Oh the shade of it all. Manks thinks it was dig at Boris.
A dig at the Harkles more like. He thinks it's a nudge at people in power, like those at the funeral, and they need to rethink how they conduct themselve.
Yeah, yeah, it was directed at the Harkles. Just so you know, Mark isn't a royalist, but during the pandemic she showed sensitivity and compassion "way beyond anyone in government at the time... it was a surprise for me."
Lucy felt sorry for Harry.
Give your head a shake. You make your bed, you lie in it. Nadia does as well saying he must have felt something being surrounded by all those men and women in uniforms and how he had to give up the military, which I don't think is true. He was getting on the other side of 30 and felt he had to move on. She goes on to say how he is missing out on the bigger family unit. Oh dear, there is a sugar in the chat. Mentions something about the media being down on those two. Mark says regardless of what you think of Meghan, she was put in the position yesterday that if she cried/not cried she would have been hammered. "She was in a literal no-win no-win situation."
Word salad for one please! She created that mess. She squeezed out one solitary tear. Nadia checked out Talk TV and "and my God Piers Morgan is not well." Mark says he has a proper problem with her.
Well, wouldn't you if she/her minions had a chat with your bosses about what you say on about her on TV? Piers is a dick, but still. Nadia does say she disagrees with them talking about the family, "nobody should do that."
Even if it concerns not so smart underage postings on social media? She goes on to say the hate for the wife has to stop, they aren't part of our lives.
True, but you can't get past a fortnight without something BS from their camp. Claire says she has been bullied and to Claire I would say, what about her suing left and right, trying to shut down any legit criticism? Bully my arse. Mark says no-win, no-win scenario again. Kill me now! He says it's classic trawling and bullying. FUCK OFF! Em Tee2 said she wanted fame. Faith says she doesn't agree with Nadia, Harry did this. Kimberly says they both have mental health issues. Nadia mentions the R word and blah, blah, blah.
Mark mentions his second favourite thing from the funeral: Emma the horse.
Nadia says the Queen "lived an abundant life." Then Mark has to mention something about privilege. Nadia says no, she just filled her life with things she loved. Mark mentions the cloth and whatever the significance of it being put there by King Charles.
The regal cloth the colour of the grenadiers. Honestly. Someone mentions the candle.
Nadia wonders if it was planned.
If it was, good! You don't eff with the family. Our gruesome twosome say they want to go to all fo these places where the funeral took place, so you will probably see that on the channel sometime in January 2023. Mark mentions there was speculations on if the Queen was actually in the coffin. Whatever. There is a pic of Mark on the Mall, Silver Jubilee, the bearskins, reminds him of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" or "the Nutcracker."
Or the chocolate finger soldier in Luxury Comedy for me. Laura suggests Hampton Court to vlog. Mention of Trump dissing Biden's 14th row seat. Biden is being a bitch about Churchill and the Conservatives, not meeting Truss.
I swear, if I hear that story about his English hating mother 1 more time! Mark asks if anyone was in the queue. Lisa was there and describes it on the NNSS. Mark wishes he had.
Liz Truss has comitted 2.5 billion pounds to Ukraine, how do you feel about that? He mentions the gas crisis, heating crisis, but then says he isn't suggesting he is comparing it to Ukraine. Nadia says she is getting other world leaders to match her pledge. Nadia says China is watching this to see how it goes.
I'm sure they are, shifty little fuckers. Nadia doesn't know why Britain has to be screaming about it and Truss puts the UK in danger. More talk about Putin making money out of the war, blah, blah. Mark has a plan, but I don't give a shit about it. "Can we have Mark for Prime Minister please?" says Nadia.
Nadia says Truss is showing off.
Next topic: Justin Trudeau singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Mark goes off to get the mail. "I love Trudeau for this, he is my Disney prince anyway..." Nadia forgives any type of behaviour around a funeral, unless you are a public figure. Nadia asks if he is president or prime minister.
Mark figures Justin likes a good time. Nadia hates judgement around grief, but thinks Justin was ill-advised.
My opinion? I don't care. Seriously, there are more important things that I can take Justin Trudeau to task for like renegging his promise to end first past the post elections for starters, but singing? What a nothing burger. Marcon caught heat for him and the missus wearing runners to view the Queen. Meh. Oh no, Mark has a poll going on this subject. MAFS review tonight. 81% of the chat say it doesn't matter.
How many ants are there on the planet? Nadia says 100 billion. There are 20 quadrillion ants on the planet. Nadia asks how many billions are in a trillion. Hillary wants to know who counted them.
LIVE REVIEW OF MAFS AND NADIA CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE A GOSSIP ABOUT IT. Laters!
