The Queen's Jubilee

[Beef Oven]

The only sad figures I can see around here are the miserable killjoys who are so full of envy and bile that they would begrudge the nation a few days of celebration in the midst of gloom and recession, and refuse to admit that the Queen, and the Monarchy as a whole, are a tremendous asset to the nation.

That's what's sad.

Something for this weekend:

[Mr Pee]

Just got back from the Diamond Jubilee street party down in Bosham High Street. The rain held off, and a wonderful time was had by all, from toddlers to pensioners. Dixieland band playing, much wine and beer, food provided by all and sundry, and near neighbours getting to know each other. A really lovely occasion, which would not have happened were it not for the Diamond Jubilee.

I recorded the last few hours of the river pageant on Sky. Glad I didn't bother with the BBC's coverage.....

How very english ................. errr not

So let me get this straight, the ONLY reason you talk to your neighbours is because some old horsey woman has an anniversary ?

what a sad lot you are !!

and YOU mr Beefkipper have had enough to drink for one day , haven't you got a home to go to ?
What do you think this is ? a Nightclub

you'll be sorry in the morning

Me and Steve Ignorant are coming round your house in the morning with fried egg sandwiches and a dose of Merzbow ........ that'll teach you to get pissed in the name of the queen

[MrGongGong]

Mr Pee, sounds like you've had a great evening!!! The whole nation has been united today (except the misanthropes!!).

you're pissed , go to bed
but drink plenty of water first !

(it's just like my daughter is back from University in here ............)

I do love a bit of British dixieland

a few other quotes from the Torygraph for you Peester

I don't know why everyone's complaining about the BBC coverage.

Blame the material - the whole spectacle was poor.

As they say: you can't polish a turd.

The BBC's coverage was appaling.

No mention of the threat from Europe.
No mention of the enforced mulyi-cultural Islamification of the pagent.

So 60yrs of benefit scrounging and we throw her a party,paid for by our own tax,and everyone thinks its wonderful.....and i thought i was insane.

So not universally loved it would seem........

but my spuds will love the rain ...........

Well - better even that than Vegema'amite, I grudgingly suppose...

[Nick Armstrong]

This thread is hilarious! What a Great British ding-dong

I think the BBC will take some time to live down the tawdry commentary in their coverage. An early reference to HM was apparently to "HRH The Queen"

[cloughie]

Had a great aftenoon, singing!

[Anna]

I thought it was more than slightly shambolic, amateurish and with the awful rainy weather, so totally British!! Made me feel proud .... bodes well for the Olympics!

[MrGongGong]

Still two days of celebrations Left!!! Good job I got two fridges

You appear to have drunk the contents of one of them today !

Because you keep posting those intensely irritating flags quoting yourself?

Despite the horrible weather, the street parties continue and the whole nation is united. It's even better than 1977's celebrations!

Without the Pistols on a boat ?
