Was their wedding night really that bad??

"Charles darling. Can we try it a different way?"

"What? And risk babies"

"No, I mean swap. You hold the candle and I'll sit on it"

"We didn't do it that way in the Navy.
I always had to sit on it."

I know that bookmakers will lay odds on just about anything,
Have any laid odds on the time to the next coronation ?

Just seen on GMGB (TV) the leader of the so-called Republicans, complaining about police arrests on Saturday, confiscation of megaphones (which he claimed they were just carrying and didn't intend to use), locking devices etc. It appears they have a 'right to protest' and annoy the rest of us who were enjoying a well-planned spectacle. Well, hard luck mate. We also have a right not to have your insane ravings annoying us. As far as comparing UK police to Russians - sorry, but you have no idea.

Just suppose one suffered from premature ... whoops...

People are now mostly citizens, not subjects
One presumes those curtseying/bowing consider themselves subjects.

Well no. They are just being courteous and following convention. Those that don't are not citizens per se just ignorant.

Apparently Harry's departure timing was so tight that he arrived at Heathrow still in his morning suit with medals. I hope he took them off before he boarded, or BA would have had trouble flying the route with all that metal affecting the E2B.

Probably just as well

And it had better be a Barossa Shiraz Fliegs/EAO1 or it's the reason why not, I'll be wanting to know!!

Is that fine brew anything like this lady’s combat survival ration pack?

That would be one helluva hangover for a teetotaller!?

Ok, I admit I ‘accidentally’ missed the entire Saturday performance as my >2hrs bike ride took slightly longer than scheduled, possibly ‘cos the total elevation gain was over 1,600’ according to my Garmin QAR.

But I’m enjoying the comments here more than if I’d settled down at home with the popcorn and a case of chilled ‘Corona’!

BM,

a case!

As I understand the Royal Wedding Night, it goes like this:
- She offers her Honour
- He honours her Offer
- And he's Offer and Honour all night.

Hat, coat, covid mask...

Once a King, always a King, but once a Knight's enough?

At least Ginge was following that protocol before he met the awful Nutmeg and ceased to be a man;

“Ms Davy and Prince Harry were in an on-off relationship between 2004 and 2010”.

As extracted from this Beeb article;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65550021

I believe that Harry and Meghan were quick and regular to consummate their relationship at every opportunity.

It was announced yesterday that, preceding the Corona-nation bash the other Saturday which cost £250,000,000 paid by someone, the bill for the planting of HM QE2 was £162,000,000.

I will not attempt the maths to calculate the total bill as the digits have fallen off the right hand edge of my calculator display but does anyone have hard info as to whom the >£400million was invoiced?

I accept it’s small beer when compared with the monies wasted by HMG, including folks like the MoD, but in these belt-tightening days it’s still a lot of dosh and a bad image.

I was also disturbed at the apparent contradiction between the promise by KC3 to rule the land for and on behalf of the peasants and the lack of any public pronouncement by HM that he’d be severing his ties with our old friend Klaus Von KnobSchwab and his gang of crazed nutters who wish to pursue the opposite course.

And as we watch Oirish farmers being pressured to get rid of their cattle at the bribe of €5,000 a pop, coupled with the mad Rutte in the Netherlands attempting to confiscate land used for agriculture, KC3 continues to promote the “wilding” of vast swathes of the UK for whatever reason.

So any peasants, aware of the expenditure on pomp & ceremony costs and the land grabs and other EU ‘initiatives’, might be wondering how they, supposedly ‘sovereign’ peasants, can arrest this drift into feudal times, out of which we believed we had grown decades ago.

Therefore it is disturbing that the voices of rebellion are being heard and even broadcast in those dark corners of the interweb, which is why we must all hail and welcome the laws restricting free speech being introduced in western ‘democratic’ countries;

This costing of the Coronation, how can it be done? We had this with costing Royal Flights. I was involved with it. What do you include? The daily pay of the military involved? Their pensions? Plus all the obvious running cost of the flight. Hay for the gee gees? Cost of the fly past, again see above. All the coppers who would have been at work anyway? And, so it goes on. It can't be done. But at the end of the day it was a very lucrative bash bringing mega dosh into the UK not only then but in the future.

Anther example of knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing?

Ex-A and Boac: I concur on both points. Our wonderful media simply put a monetary value on everything, it seems, whether it is accurate or not. We have become a massively dumbed-down nation and those who read the red tops are at the top of the heap. Many can barely string a sentence together, and when they do, it's punctuated by the f-word, no matter what they are discussing, but I suppose if you hear it on TV every night, it's fair enough.

£162 million to mark the end of 70 years on the throne works out at just over a couple of million quid for each year. Compare that with the yearly cost of the BBC and then ask yourself who gave the better service.

I'm confused now as to whether "God did save The Queen, man", but I thought the "C R" birthday tiffie flypast was outstanding.
