Royal lickspittlery: the platinum jubilee edition

[stavros]

Wouldn't be doing anything to 'celebrate' anyway but am working all through it so couldn't even if i wanted to....no such thing as a bank holiday in retail...

I have got the bank holidays, but I'm almost certainly going to do some admin working from home, as a form of silent protest which only you people will know about.

I may or may not put my speakers by the open back door and put track 5 of Never Mind the Bollocks on repeat.

From yesterday's Times front page. If ever there was a way to get young people to use the bus it's to tell them someone else used one twenty years ago.

I noticed some tacky shit in the pound shop so I thought I'd better find out when it is ...

Still nothing within earshot of me - though doubtless the patrons of the local "flag pubs" will get extra drunk and noisy for the occaision...

Perhaps I should avail myself of the "toolkit" and organise something ...

There will be a street party in our cul-de-sac on the Friday, I don't think our community organiser at No 9 is all that much of a royalist but the opportunity for a knees up was presumably too great for her to resist.

When is this Royal shitfest of a jubbly? I do hope it's soon enough for me to be still out of the country... though Brenda is still the head of state, but then no one cares and they're taking her mug off the money.

Increased heating bills to pay for it all.

Fair dos, they're in a basic Land Rover without any bulletproof.

A quick stamp on the brakes will sort them out

Cheers -- I've edited/corrected my earlier post now!

I even double-checked my phone-calendar!

I thought it was Eamonn Holmes at first glance.

The horrible revelation just struck me that my front garden is going to have prominent red, white and blue flowers this year
Though there won't be anything to show for a couple of months yet ...
I put an EU flag in the window for VE day - I think it had better stay.
I have some hopefully large sunflowers going in too...

Landfill plastic shite right there. Christ!
And why does it look like a younger Helen Mirren?

Defo based on Helen Mirren. Looks nothing like E. Windsor.

Wow. Lucky kids, eh.

The fervour is approaching fever pitch in Bristol 5 ...
I'll try to get a better photo of the local window dressing ...
Even the kitchen towel is patriotic

Royal tat is ramping up on the ward! We have cut out heads of Her Maj currently hanging from the ceiling tiles

Obviously I’m working all four days of the extended bank holiday, but apparently we get fiz (zy water), cake and strawberries on the Friday!

On the day of the Sussex's nuptials, Son Q thought he was being clever by volunteering for overtime. However some twat brought in a portablw TV and set it up on the desk next to his. After enduring it for hours, he called round his G/F's on the way home only to find her and all three of her housemates still in their jim-jams glued to the telly watching it.

Does it have Barbie's usual freakish anatomy (as well as what is clearly the face of the talented Ms Mirren) or has it been given more human proportions?

 

[Funky_monks]

I'll be off to see the Levellers that weekend, hopefully that will be as royal free as you can get

 

[T & P]

Old woman smiles in public = clear off the front pages!

 

[klang]

Landfill plastic shite right there.

sure, but what's your opinion on the Barbie?

I can see scope for creative improvement here.

 

[not-bono-ever]

(its a fucking joke officer)
