The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

How contagious, and is there a vaccine booster ?

 

That’s not quite the same though, is it? The moustachioed guys have all the power in their countries, whereas the Queen doesn’t.

 

I couldn't care less, and will do my utmost to avoid as much of it as I can.

The only good bit is that finally, after all of the years, my birthday this week has finally been nominated as a Bank Holiday to allow everyone to celebrate.

 

Agreed, however, it's the same levels prescribed adulation and a narrative of flawlessness that can't be challenged.

 

Damn. I have it.

 

I would be very happy if we just had a Scandi-style monarchy, with a small number of working royals with actual jobs, and an absence of the hangers-on, sycophants, redundant toothpaste squeezers pursuivant, and minor half-cousin "royals" and their offspring, leading to a much reduced civil list. Royal estates and palaces could be turned into museums and tourist places to milk the rich Septics who fantasise about having a Royal Family before returning to add to their gun arsenals in the Land of the Free-Range shooting gallery.

 

I'm a bit more enthusiastic about the whole thing all of a sudden.

Just found out that Green King pubs are offering their IPA at 1952 prices. All you have to do is say 1952 when ordering and it'll cost you the grand sum of 6 pence.

You only get it on your first pint though.

Gawd bless her majesty!!!

 

IPA in name but as weak as p1ss.

Greene King are probably taking the discount out of the money they pay their pub managers. They are real sh1tty employers.

 

I agree with this, but don’t forget the civil list used to be much bigger years ago, pre Charles & Di era, so it has got a bit better. In time I think it will improve further.

 

Mmm, Platinum Jubilee shortbread. £12 a tin you say? Thank you M&S.

 

I will be proudly wearing my Sex Pistols 'God Save The Queen' t-shirt. If it still fits me...

 

You can congratulate the Queen on her Jubilee in the most sincere way possible, which is to sign Wokingham Borough’s digital congratulation card.

 

Fat chance!

 

My street is having a party. We're lucky it's a cul-de-sac so no traffic. Flags are up and I'm quite looking forward to it. I quite like the Royal Family to be honest but each to their own. I think it's just quite nice to have a get together with our neighbours who thankfully are all quite nice

Have we learned nothing from Boaty McBoatface?

 

Ah, but it's not just plain old ordinary "Platinum Jubilee shortbread", it's "M&S [Insert a few unnecessary magical marketing words and several extra £££s] Platinum Jubilee shortbread".

 

From "What We Do"

 

Tw@ts in a word.

 

It’s about £2 worth of biscuits for £12.

 

"These are not just biscuits, these are M&S..etc etc ..."

 

Some ***** have put up bunting in their front garden

 

Some bunts have put up ****ing?

 

Yeah, but have they got a life size cardboard cut out of her Madge?

 

Oh boe! Some bunts have put up some bunting!

 

It no nonger fits Johnny Rotten....

 

What’s rude about a body?

 

T1ts

 

I received through the post today a 'poshly-marketed' invitation to part with £379.00 of my pension to obtain a guaranteed '2022 Platinum Royal Jubilee Gold Sovereign'.

I am almost wistfully hankering after the emails I used to receive from banished Nigerian Cabinet Ministers.

 

When I was a lad I was forever receiving some kind of crap coin of one or other royal commemoration. 50 years on they are worth the square root of **** all squared.

You've got a 45 year old t-shirt? And my wife says my wardrobe needs updating

 

Is this the Queen who negotiated a special exemption from equality laws and who didn't want “coloured immigrants or foreigners” amongst her servants?

Jubilee is almost as exciting as a Watford home game.
