Enough with the jubilee already.

Corgis are for life, not just for jubilees.

? I might buy a corgi .......

I am getting excited, especially as a parcel from Betty's (Baker in Harrogate ) arrived with these biscuits enclosed, which will cause a lot of giggles, they are so silly.
Love those, and the idea that making them is providing much needed employment for making, packing and delivering them. Sadly they are no longer available or I’d have bought some for my dog loving friends and family who we hope to see at the end of this week.

Nice biscuits notgran. I saw some chocolate M & S corgis on Ocado yesterday. I was tempted, but my retriever would only look on in disgust. Perhaps he is a republican?

Despite the shocking rainfall, in between the deluged OH and I have been putting bunting up outside. It is very secure and looks very good. I still have some more to put up in the back garden but OH is watching a baseball match and I need him to drill some more hooks into the fence. We live near an air field and a number of the planes which will be in Thursday's flypast are flying over the house heading for the airfield.

volver very good ? ?

Interesting info from Grany
Unbelievable that the queen's income was topped up.
And apparently, if I have understood correctly, it has been done by increasing the sovereign grant, so can't be reduced again unlike universal credit.

Have another one tonight ?.

?

Is that the only part of you to feel the effects? ?

I had a curry in a real restaurant last night, first time for ages. It's gone to my head

I don't think it's virtue signalling Parsley3.

I think it's Stockholm Syndrome.

Spectacularly good. Must be having a little celebration on the quiet.?

Ooh now who's virtue signalling?!

Not those who don’t want to celebrate, that’s up to them.
VS is by all those who, whilst sitting securely on whatever they have (however much or little) rant on about others who, or so they say, are doing the same. Also VS is all those who attempt to spoil other’s enjoyment of the celebration.

However, don’t spoil their enjoyment in doing so.
If you want to stay home or can afford to go away and ignore it. Enjoy that.
If you want to enjoy the celebrations then go ahead and enjoy them.

Here she is GSM.

Anyway, I have an admission to make. I've finally been found out. All these times I've posted about elected Heads of State, but its because I want Jeremy Corbyn to be President. And his brother as his deputy. Or, if either of them don't want it, I think we should have Tommy Sheridan. Then we take everybody's money and put it in a big pot and share it out equally between everyone. We all have to wear boiler suits. All the time. And one TV channel, mainly devoted to telling us how many tractors we've made this month.

She was the first child to be born in Melbourne on Coronation day, so you can guess her name! Kylie? Kath? Kim?

You’re on top form today *Volver ????

Street parties, celebrations, bunting, flag waving, going to as many jubilee events as possible, declaring love for the Queen, posting pictures of your decorations. ........
If I wasn’t such a nice person, I would call that virtue signalling. Still, if people need to be seen to be celebrating the Jubilee, then so be it, but don’t call me a misery or question my pride in my heritage if I don’t turn out for a bowl of trifle and a cucumber sandwich.

Thanks volver. And for your heartfelt confession. Very brave of you.?

I'm not a labour supporter but the way things are here ...I'd vote Jeremy Corbyn for president rather than a huge disfunctional family who cost us hundreds of millions a year ....and o begger all for it .Oh wait ,how many holidays do they have on the pretext of visiting the peasants across the world ?

My money is on Hil(l)ary.

Quite right GSM. Some people get plenty of enjoyment just by complaining about others enjoying the Jubilee Celebrations.

Where's your head banging thing volver? How many times do people have to be told that you don't have to go to a street party, cover your house with flags and bunting or have a huge family celebration to enjoy yourself???

I'm not really a huge fan of the Royals as we had the Queen and family rammed down our throats when I was a child in the 50s/60s but it's nice for people to have something to celebrate especially after all the lockdowns. i live in England where every town and village seems to be holding parties, but used to live in North Wales, where many people are not keen on the royal family as they see them as 'English.' Some of my friends who still live in Wales tell me that there are very few special events in aid of the Jubilee there.

Lots of other parties and celebrations planned, too.

Perhaps your friends live in a different Wales

We’re on holiday just north of Aberystwyth and there’s absolutely nothing going on here! Apart from a single strand of bunting between two lamp posts, no decorations, posters or events planned as far as I can see.
My home village in Wiltshire has lots of activities planned- not that I intended to go to any ?, so I’m perfectly happy here!

Notgran, I was just thinking the same as you. I love the Queen and think she has done an amazing job. What is wrong with all of you who will ignore the Jubilee? Are you all socialists and agree with Kevin McGuire that the monarchy should go? Who do you all want as Head Of State! Jeremy Corbyn?

The Queen copes magnificently. She lost her husband, has Prince Andrew to deal with and Harry and Meghan coming over merely to steal the limelight! I do not think your unkind comments represent the overall opinion of the celebrations.

I will be at a great lunch with my children and grandchildren as June 2nd is my eldest child’s birthday. She was the first child to be born in Melbourne on Coronation day, so you can guess her name!
