Well! This has made me go back and look for the footage of Queen Elizabeth II Lying in State, which was the most hypnotically serene and calming thing I have ever watched.

And it turns out someone's uploaded it to the Internet Archive! All 109 hours of it!

https://archive.org/details/hm-the-queen-lying-in-state-bbc-ls-ww-9v-wia-u.temp

It's 87.9G, mind you, and my machine doesn't seem able to stream it. But it's there.

Queen Elizabeth II - Lying in State - BBC complete live stream : BBC : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

This is the livestream that the BBC recorded of people walking past Queen Elizabeth II's casket, starting on Wednesday September 14, 2022 at 5pm BST.  It ran...

Does Trump lie?

Is the Pope Catholic?

Jd Vance has questioned the pope's Catholic credentials

BruceAndNosh · 12/06/2026 22:32

I've just checked how they added his name and they used hydraulic platforms and a cherry picker. Why not the same equipment? (possibly no one is willing to pay the extra to hire them)

Watching Canada taking on Bosnia in the WC.

Lovely draw.

Mexico win.

Wonder what will happen when the USA play Paraguay?

I shall be sleeping.

Seem to be a lot of workers wearing hi-viz standing around doing eff all... scaffolders... C'est la vie! 😁

I'm surprised there's no loud music which exists solely of artists that clearly have been involved in drugs, shootings and sexual and violence against women.

AcrossthePond55 · 12/06/2026 22:45

All quiet on the scaffolding, but it is 5.42pm so probably done for the day.

I'm wondering if it will all take place under cover of darkness tonight. The camera is at such an angle that it appears that the scaffolding isn't placed to take the whole name off, but perfectly placed to remove that 'T'. I say do it!! do it!!!

Interesting....I just caught the very end of this on the live feed but it appears that the scaffolding team has been moved outside the portable rail barriers by a couple of security staff.

No stay has been issued, judge refused to issue one. I wonder if Scrotus' hand picked BoD is taking matters into their own hands in defiance of the judge. The Appeals Court has not issued a decision yet.

(or maybe it's just lunch break time lol)

XP with @DuncinToffee Too quick on the draw for me!

Edited

They look like the Doozers down at Fraggle Rock.🥰

Efacsen · Yesterday 01:25

A lorry has arrived with more scaffolding poles - all the workers have long gone because it's 8pm there

AcrossthePond55 · Yesterday 02:29

It's 9.27 EDT and the Doozers are back up on the scaffolding building away. Looks like just a bit to go on the left side of thescafford and they should be ready to start the removal.

I must say, this seems to be exceptionally slow. Still not one letter removed, as far as I can tell at this angle. Keeping an eye on it!

While we wait for the slower than a snail attempt to prise Donald J Trump off the Kennedy Memorial Centre my thoughts turn to the ICE World Cup. Haiti v Scotland. Who do you root for @RedTagAlan? 🤔A draw?

Many Hatians are afraid to attend the game. The community is desperate for a win against Scotland. After all, it is a favourite country of the US president. His mother was Scottish and he owns two golf courses in Scotland. “It would be poetic justice to beat them,” says Mr Jean-Baptiste.

It’s as if nobody dares actually make the first move. Definitely more interesting than watching paint dry, though!
Oh, no, it looks as if they are putting up a curtain to hide what’s happening! An actual cover-up! Unbelievable!
Right, I’ll stop the spamming now, sorry about that!

Scotland football team has the sum of fuck all to do with Trump's misty eyed version of a Scotland that doesn't exist.
Oh and add in the fact he's detested by many Scots just as he is detested In many countries.

Scotland for me, but I am not even trying to follow the World Cup. I gave up trying to follow/watch international sports yonks ago, because it is just too difficult, if not near impossible.

The country I am in did not qualify. A bit embarrassing for dear Uncle who is a big fan. I did try to watch Uncles team matches in qualifications, but after a record loss to Japan, the games were paywalled. I tried to follow via "text feed" sites, but they started to be blocked.

Even trying to watch the Olympics was a waste of time. Get settled down to watch the curling on the Ipad, few tins in the fridge, instant messaging set up with a fellow fan in another city.... and boom. The schedule says curling, the title on the ipad says curling.... but its speed skating highlights of when X beat Japan. Every move in slow mo with patriotic music with constant cuts to the national flag.

So yeah. When people say they fear Trump making sport "Patriotic", no need to wonder what that will be like. It happens already elsewhere.

Having said all that, perhaps the entire world cup is being broadcast here in all its glory. But can't be arsed. Wrong flag spotted in the crowd.... blip... cut to when X beat Japan in speedskating.

So slow - notwithstanding that it's still pretty warm [27 degrees] - it was supposed to have been completed by midnight and it's now 2am
?expecting further instructions from the court to stop work
?spoiling the fun of everyone watching by dragging it out
?childish defiance of the deadline

And now they are hiding the actual removal of the lettering
?saving Trumps feelings/humiliation/blood pressure
?more spoiling tactics
?introducing uncertainty as to whether the courts ruling has been followed

Maybe they'll leave the tarps up for ever

Maybe they are actually putting gold leaf on Trump's name instead of taking it down?

Grin quite possibly - Trump really doesn't like being told what to do, does he?

Grin at the thought of the gold leaf!

Seriously, though, I’m sure Trump’s packed board at the Kennedy Center is having kittens and doing everything it can to cover up (sorry again) this event. The scaffold people are probably between a rock and a hard face.
