I realise that some forumites will be at the front of the queue for the stamps, prints, special editions of the Daily Mail and Express, tea towels, ceramics, ash trays, dolls, jigsaws, one-eighth sovereigns from Trustan da Cunha and so on, but what about the event itself? Presumably it will reflect modern Britain. So the lights will be off, there'll be no heating and the state banquet will comprise own brand weetabix and meals costing no more than 30p a head. The BB will provide the marching band and unpaid children will fly kites in place of a RAF fly past. I'm sure it'll be a delight, accompanied of course by God's representatives on Earth just to make sure that everything meets their master's approval. I'll be washing my hair. So will I, with Head & Shoulders - chop the King's off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I see that Jamaica is predicted to be the first nation to resign from the Commonwealth during the Carolean era. It would be delicious if they nominated the Coronation date as their GTF day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Queen was around for a very long time and now she is gone. That's a lot to deal with. Out of respect for the family, I think the whole coronation thing should be some quiet affair somewhere private. After it is done, maybe post something on Twitter or Facebook or something. Keep it low key. That is what I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Looking forward to a nice weekend away in the hills celebrating the Mrs birthday that weekend. The only coronation I want to see is the chicken variety in my sandwiches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Don’t even know the point of a formal coronation, we know he’s king, we don’t need a ridiculously expensive ceremony for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Obviously they have to have a coronation. Otherwise some continental upstart might come along and say "hooray, the Queen is dead, I claim this island for Poland" or something like that. That's how they did it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'm going to get a plastic union jack bowler hat and a union jack waistcoat and camp out on the route. Might take some sort of placard, or just a bit of cardboard with God Save the King written on it. God bless em. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie the Stick shuffled off her mortal coil on September the 8th Chuckles had his accession ceremony 43 hours later Unseemly and perhaps offensive haste crossed my mind. I very quickly revised that to the view that if the deal is done, there's no space for debate. They are ruthless but then again lizards are wired that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll make them worship me too, what!” It’s bread and circuses designed to feed the ego of a thick, fat-fingered twat and his 75-year-old mattress. The humiliating thing for us oiks is that there’s no bread and the circus has this gremlin as it’s ringleader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I think they'll have to loan back the sandstone cesspit lid that's currently in Edinburgh Castle for the Coronation I watched the daft ceremony when Mad Mickey Forsyth brought the thing back from London. The Royals were represented by a bored looking non-sweaty nonce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
