It was a good excuse for a party down at her place). Is that a euphemism? Must have been a long, long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once knew someone who worked as a chef for the Royal Family. He used to get very upset about Spitting Image - "It's disgraceful. They are not like that." Latex puppets? Apparently not.

Sergeant Wilson Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I know a few people who have got awards over the years, or got invited to a garden party etc. They were all a waste of space who talked a good game but didn't do that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just people from work who did a bit of charity work on the side. Not bad people really, but I could think of dozens of genuinely unsung others getting on with their stuff without looking for recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, they could have just spent the night in wester hailes......... As it's just down the road, out of sheer curiosity I wandered over to Paisley Abbey last night to witness the beacon lighting. There were a few dozen people gathered round it with the Abbey choir doing a short performance, sea cadets and scouts in uniform etc. The choir finished a specially written piece which sounded nice enough and a wee boy of about 5 turned to his rough looking da' and asked "are they going to sing The Sash now?", to guffaws from various adults around him. I bid a swift retreat... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I missed Murdos commentary on most Tories walking out of Westminster every single time Ian Blackford (leader of the third largest party) gets up at PMQs. Murdo is a cockring.I remember him from my time at the University of Aberdeen.He was a crap shinty player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF that's appropriate, given we're always told the Queen works for Cunard. Ithankyou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, basically, most of the milk bottle tops were being handed out for turning up. Makes Muttley demanding medals before helping Dastardly out of a problem seem positively heroic!

DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Haven't managed to get away but but I'm going to see some films I put off seeing until this weekend.Dr Strange 2 last night.Top Gun 2 tonight.I'd even watch Sonic 2 to avoid this shit.And this is only a fraction of what it will be like when she kicks the bucket.I don't particularly mind some of the event parts of this but listening to z-listers droning on about how fantastic HRH is for hours on end is not entertaining.

btb Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Just back from walking the dog - one house decked out in UJ paraphernalia but that's all. The Rid Stane (sic) was festooned in UJ stuff too but they're Staunch in there and they like sensible haircuts. The other pub within walking distance (The Eagle) is mixed but probly tending twards staunchness too, but that's Ayr for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a diehard unionist but I can’t be bothered with all this stuff. It reminds of Diana’s death which went on and on and on, ad infinitum We should just have a very low key monarchy and cut out all the hangers- on. So, I agree with you.

Zern Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 If i were a royalist, i would be a tad worried that the Queen is too sick to do the basics like walk, talk and sit still while being adulated and fawned over. She's a corgi owner and knows that once their back legs go, they're on their way out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
