The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Watching this on TV now - it is pretty awesome.

I wonder if it will skip and go straight to William...

It would be the right thing, but HM is very traditional...

If Charles does abdicate, you have to feel a little bit sorry for him...!

I doubt it'll skip, as it's not the done thing. However, I can see it being handed to Charles, and then him abdicating and passing over to William.

I already do... I also don't agree with much of what he says. William, seems to have learned from his mistakes. I don't know if you ever watched the House of Cards trilogy, but that ended any affection I had for Charles, even if it was fiction it felt like an accurate depiction of him.

Yeah that's what I meant - skip as in Charles instantly passes it over.

I don't get it.

Good on you Lizzie, may you reign for another 60 years (we can but hope).

Ah fair one. I think since William has married Kate, it's even more likely to happen given their popularity with the public.

Don't give 2 hoots about the Jubilee. I'm working Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue for double bubble.

Anyway this celebration thing is all about London again.

Live on tv down here

I don't get it.

We're celebrating our Head of State, who has given her entire life to the country. Sixty years as head of the Commonwealth and the Union of the Crowns.

What don't you get?

 

[RomanNose]

The best thing so far.

All of that.

I prefer this approach:

God save the Queen (from GD trolls)

Looks a bit chilly out there.. damn weather.

If you mean what he says in the first minute then you completely fail to understand what the Queen has done for the past 60 years. I do agree with him on the Nobel Prize - look at the one given to Obama which was essentially for rhetoric during his election campaign. To overlay it against our monarchy is distasteful to say the least.

As to Feynman himself, you'll note he was renowned for physics not philosophy.

I think what you mean is that you don't agree, not that you don't get it.

Oh dear, I'm not coming across all Albert Steptoe am I?

Haroooooold!!

 

[Mad old tory]

Who cares, someone that has not had to lift a finger all her life, gets waited on hand and foot.

How the other half life eh!

Ha, such ignorance. I could go into detail on what the Queen does but I frankly cannot be bothered.

I am in Zurich with work so missing out on it in person but watching on the good old beeb.

 

[The Halk]

Quite ironic that I post about Albert Steptoe and along comes someone called "Mad Old Tory"
