Or perhaps "sheep of hit". If you are into Spoonerisms

Ken :)
changed it from princely heap to princely group, just horrible. I'll say it again, what a "princely heap", I love it.

Enough of sheep and/or heap jokes ...

Update for those wanting to watch any live broadcasts on UK's Channel 4 via Unblock-us or similar, you may find you need to set your computer clock to GMT ...

1396382 2015-03-21 19:55:00 I'll download it after it's played. The chances of it being shown here is pretty slim as it's not a reality TV program.. paulw (1826)
1396383 2015-03-21 21:36:00 I didn't even know he (R III) was crook. ;) R2x1 (4628)

1396386 2015-03-25 22:22:00 Even Leicester Council is able to show some humour:

And a selection of online comments


Who will Leicester Council collect Richard III's overdue parking charges from?


Richard III carried on a gun carriage drawn by 4 horses. He waits 529 years for a horse, and then 4 of them turn up at the same time.


A hearse, a hearse, my kingdom for a hearse!

If you're watching this saga, UK's Channel 4 is broadcasting Ricahrd III: The Burial of the King Thursday 26th 10:00 - 13:00 UTC.

This is Thursday UTC 26th 23:00 - 0200 NZDT

There is also an additional and final program Richard III: The King laid to Rest

Thursday evening UTC Friday 27th March 07:00 NZDT

A final programme showing highlights of the reburial service from earlier in the day and - live - a last moment of intimate ceremonial, in which those who led the campaign to find Richard and his descendants, gather to bid the King a final farewell.

R.I.P. Richard Plantagenet.

1396387 2015-03-25 22:35:00 I hope he is up there (or down there) watching all this happening Wal, and enjoyed the online comments you show as much as I did. Richard (739)

I'd like to think he had a sense of humour but difficult to keep it after what Stanley and the Tudors did. As for watching, I hope Richard wasn't watching TV One. I was wrong when I posted "the entire event condensed into 3 - 4 minutes by local TV". TV One covered it in those amount of seconds, not minutes. They also called their Tuesday coverage a burial, which isn't happening for another 12 hours or so tonight (Thursday) :(
