So Charles has covid again.

If he pops his clogs before his mam, would his pervy brother still be next in line?

He's not next in line anyway, William is.

Not if Charles dies before Liz, shirley?

edit - i see wiki agrees with you.
Kinda strange, missing a generation - if it was a will, intestacy rules mean the inheritance would be shared amongst the children before it went to the grandkids...

For a misogyny scandal of all things.
Was the real reason not going after Boris quickly enough?

Sadiq Khan's also a dick, he should go too.

I'm glad to see her go, I'm amazed she lasted this long. She was part of the corruption machine.

I have considerable confidence in Sadiq Khan and he's done well here again.

When i think about it that must be the first time i have mentioned nice when talking about London. Think i need to go lie down.

Good to see some common sense being shown to academia - I emphasise being shown to them, not by them.

Their biggest donor has pulled his millions because of their covid rules.
I'd never heard of him but he seems like a brilliant chap, clever, successful, wealthy, and he knows that academics need to be guided by people in the real world, not the other way around.

Yep. They love him there.

Collingwood students were particularly unhappy at Mr Hillery's stance as he had been known, on occasion, to put £10,000 behind the bar during visits

Mezzanine floor collapses at the trendy east end bar, Two More Years in Hackney Wick, thirteen people injured. I've always been a wary of mezzanine floors in pubs, clubs - this hasn't helped. I'm glad no one seems to have been left with life changing injuries. The bar is temporarily closed

Very few get passed by the licencing lot nowadays cos too many people put their glasses on the handrails and they fall onto people below.
The ones they do have often have a bouncer pretty much on "Don't put yer drinks glass on there" duty.
Also a lot of pubs don't have much in the way of level surfaces in the toilets so there's less places to snort coke off and with fuckall customs checks nowadays the stuff is fucking rife.

I've worked on a few barfits over the years up and down the country and get to see how they go.
Oh and ice machines don't get cleaned out much at all. You might want to think before you go for the ice.
Also if (when) rats get into the cellars they piss all the time they walk... over the bottles and whatever else.
You might want a glass with that beer instead of drinking it directly out the bottle.

Likely not, its usually the structural engineer that does that bit (not always though) and there's a limit on the numbers allowed on them. Thats why its often a "VIP lounge" or whatever with loads of tables to keep the numbers down.
Often a bouncer with a clicker/counter keeping an eye on the numbers up there.
Don't think Ive ever seen a mezzanine dancefloor yet.
More likely to be the owner or maybe a bouncer in trouble.

Yeah seen it with mice, it's truly vile. Cellars and storerooms of pubs and corner shops are probably swarming with them after dark.

Isn't that the original reason San Pellegrino cans have tinfoil over the top?
