Diamond Jubilee

[ManuelsMum]

Working today, working tomorrow....standard Monday, Tuesday for me.

Just can't get into this Jubilee shite.  The queen looked thoroughly cold and bored yesterday from what I saw, and guess what, same today.

Not a fan, soz.

Soon.........

Far too skinny......she looks anorexic.

You heard it here first!

she looks nowhere near anorexic - perfectly healthy imo - just got a small frame

Never got the royals tbh, but there are alot more modern than say 20years ago. Mainly down to a swell of disappointment on how they handled the Di saga, but credit where due.

And have to admit concert as a whole was excellent (ignoring the Lenny Henry links)

Don't like royals but love being English. GSTQ.

After close scrutiny I agree with Claw that she's just 'slim' rather than anywhere near 'skinny'

But I'll just check the picture again to make sure

Bloody love the Queen

Just wondered, was there any reason why she couldn't have the decency to have took two minutes to say a couple of words at the end to say thank you etc to everyone ?

don't think it's a question of decency, more protocol.  but yeah, would have been nice if she'd said cheers for coming out etc.

My nephew and niece were there with official tickets etc. Before the concert a lot of the royals were wandering around and chatting to everyone and they met and chatted to Prince Andrew, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. They thought the concert was immense and they got given a massive picnic basket with loads of nice food and stuff to eat before it started.

I thought it was pretty cool that they popped into our garden party just for a beer!!

Everyone all gathered together, wearing team colours, blowing whistles, banging drums, singing rousing songs....

I thought it was great.

I'm all for the Jubilee, but it seems a bit pointless just watching her have lunch

Cool to have an excuse for a national day off. We had a street party and it was amazing... the kids loved it especially.

The only thing that could have made it better would have been if it was as a celebration of the abolition of the monarchy. Pretty ridiculous that in this day and age people still think it is a good idea to have such a symbol of undeserved entrenched privilege and social division, and even think it is good for the country and something to be proud of.

I can think of many people who I'd prefer to have as a symbol of the nation and 'representing' Britain, instead of the stuck up and out of touch queen and her racist husband.

Emma Bunton is still hot

Cool to have an excuse for a national day off.

Not really in a time when businesses and the whole country are struggling enough as it is.

Even a small business like mine suffers. 24 employees all of whom have to be paid this extra day off.

I wouldn't mind so much but the government takes all the credit for giving you a day off and still charge you income tax for your "free day off". Doesn't cost them one penny in lost revenue, wipes billions off the value of company's and morons who have no clue of the bigger picture thank them for it.

Such a massive sigh.
