That Was Superb

[Furr]

The queen mums procession was superb, and has decided my view on the royal family. Their great and the UK wouldn't be the UK without them, especially liked the way that the crowd spontaineously began clapping when the royal party set off back home.

I feel all patriotic inside.

I like the bit where those guards are guarding the coffin, its so imperialistic, i love it.

 

[Testin da Cable]

[throdgrain]

So when does the queen start wearing the big ears (Charles' spare set no doubt), and where the big ferris wheel in Buck Palace?

No. The castles and palaces are tourist attractions

 

[Embattle]

Was good.

 

[throdgrain]

Can you believe they actually used to fight in them bearskins ? Must have been scary for the opposition, but hard just keeping it on yer head i would have thoguht

 

[old.Kez]

The royal family are shit.

 

[Damini]

I'm not a royalist, but the queen mum seemed to have a wicked sense of humour, and I'm fairly sure no member of royalty has ever beaten me up, crashed into my car, vandalised my car, prank called me, ripped me off, borrowed money off me that they've not returned, slagged me of behind my back or tried to pull any of my boyfriends.

The general public are shit.

Not as scary as a bunch of scottish steaming at you screaming wearing skirts though Throddy, that would shit me up.

No because you express your moronic view at the wrong time and in the wrong thread.

Damn good question.




Speaking of patriotism, why the fuck has Blair decided that the Falklands campaign needs ignoring on its 20th anniversary?
Oh, I remember, coz he's a spineless fucking political no-hoper coward.

I bet if the Falklands situation blew up again, he'd do fuck all about it, partly because he can't do anything unless half the worlds politicians say so.


Anyway, Queen Mother procession; saw it, very well executed, very appropriate, very nice. Even felt a twinge of much needed pride. Thank god she was around in WW2.

 

[djpringle]

Saw it live on Fox news, bizarre though to see it with a totally American slant on things. Surprisingly they handled it pretty well, no real dumb comments apart from constantly calling her the queen mom


God it was good to see a bit of good old pomp and circumstance, makes me proud

 

[Sar]

Oh for fuck sake, who set Staz off on one again?

 

[old.Skull]

i'm a penge resident and even i know the royal family sucks !

 

[throdgrain]

No, get it right. You're a penge resident, and a cunt.

 

[Furr]

So fuck off and leave

 

[Fex]

Nice to see Kez's guides working then

*sighs*

On a lighter note I watched it and thought that it was very appropriate and there also seemed to be a lighter air surrounding the whole thing, which personally I thought it was good. The Queen Mother seemed like a person who loved life and loved to laugh so it was nice to see people celebrating her life aswell as mourning her death.
