Free for all Friday. The Queen is dead
News
Yesterday news of the Queen's death hit the airwaves. It now triggers TEN days of mourning in the UK. I am here right now, and people are breaking down on air. Good luck to normal programming.

The death was announced at 18:30, so it cut into half time of the Zurich vs Arsenal match, and... I couldn't find a stream after that.

OP: Done. I don't know if there will be EPL matches this weekend. We will see. I have been in the UK for the past week just sorting out my belongings (books, yarn, clothing) and so forth. At 12:00 PM the bells shall toll here. I have been getting my life on diaspora twitter (West Indian, African, Indian, Irish, etc) with the queen's passing. Of course, the British are sore, but us from the previous colonies have our feelings too.
