I just heard some coworkers talking about it. I guess this is literally the end of an era, eh? It's going to be weird hearing any mention of the king when that starts happening. It always strikes me as weird even when it was historically accurate to whatever I'm reading.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

My mom texted me said "Every pub in Ireland is going to run out of booze tonight."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.

That'll be interesting to watch. I am always surprised how many monarchies are still in existence when I hear of one.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Jim said he has friends in London who can hear the church bells going.

I bet this how people felt when Queen Victoria died. Whether or not you like the monarchy, it’s definitely feeling like the end of something. I wonder if Charles will choose a different regnal name?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.I'm betting they'll wind down like a bunch of other European royal families. They're rich and have titles, but most of them have jobs and basically private lives.

The PM is referring to him as "King Charles III", so -

I wish they’d abolish it now.

I also wondered if Charles would choose a different name. Guess not.
On the one hand it would kind of be a shame for such a long-standing thing like the monarchy to end. On the other hand, I’m not sure the world will still be habitable in 70 years so…
