The Queen's Jubilee

So what are you Brits doing for the Queen's Jubilee?
(other than drinking)

oops I mean..

So you're renaming Big Ben...

whoops, I mean

I vote to re-name it "Steed's Funhouse."

Is that what all those dudes down south were doing today? I just assumed they were protesting about something.

This kind of sums up how I'm feeling about it all today.

Now, if we were to celebrate 60 years of Prince Phillip spraffing nonsense like a hero I might be impressed.

Nothing special, I guess I dont want to be blinded by the abundance of Union Jacks every where, as flags go is not the easiest on the eye

joegrundman · 06-03-12, 06:19 PM

well it could be worse, it could be the brazilian flag

Looks like she's lining up a few peasants for hunting season.

Not much Royalists there? I have to say that I envy you.

You have professional entertainer family while we here in Finland have to do with Mr./Mrs. Clown in the Presidential Palace.

JU_88 · 06-04-12, 09:43 AM

Oh I got nothing against the royal family, Its just their shenanigans are of little practical importance to the average Brit. I'm sure it's alot of fun if your in to that sort of thing.

I recorded the event as it was televised here in the US all day, I found it interesting but sad at the same time.I believe a story on subsim pointed it out, there is no grand fleet for her to review as there was last time such an event occured in 1897, it is sad that instead of reviewing a line of impressive warships demonstrating the pride and power of their country, she was looking over a fleet of small pleasure craft and barges lol. Really should be a wake up call for the country. Ah, Socialism
