I worked with an ex forces lad who (along with his wife and kids) would stand in front of the TV and salute the queen during her speech at Xmas. Utterly mental behaviour. An intriguing question to ask Royalists is if they would throw themselves in front of a bullet to save the queen (or alternatively would they kneel down so she can step over them). Some totally mentalists would say yes which is always a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of fat on that gammon. “Overwhelming demand from our brilliant viewers”. Aye, Geoff from Surrey and Tam from Scotstoun were very vocal.

Lurkst Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The only person I know who watches GB News in the morning is a Rangers fan so staunch he held a house party for Princess Eugenie's wedding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently found out my da watches it as he thinks the BBC is too left wing. He's not a Rangers fan though, so he's not totally beyond help.

I totally understand why America makes such a big thing about the flag and the anthem and all that. Basically they want any new immigrant to stop being an immigrant and just be an American as soon as possible. Won't be me but I get it. The Star Spangled Banner does a decent job in that regard. By comparison, I doubt any new arrival would want to sing "God Save the Rich B***h". I am not wanting to criticise the Queen here - more the lack of it being about "us". FoS is slightly better but not by much. Honestly Agadoo or Shang-a-lang would be an improvement. A People's Anthem is required. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 When I joined the Scouts I had to promise to do my duty to God and the Queen No doubt the Big Man has kept his own ledger but I'd like to apologise to Brenda for the fighting at dodgeball in the 67th Salisbury and walloping Graham with a chair in self defence.. On the other hand if you'd turned up one Friday night with some wagon wheels and a bottle of Irn Bru we might not have started a pagger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faced with a backlash he throws his daughter under the bus by saying it was her idea all along. What is it with these people who wish to foist their uber fawning and servitude on to everyone else - is it a) an attempt to try and pass off their bizarre leanings as normal?; b) Is it really about honours and some kind of recognition?; or c) do they really think people up and down the country have the same feelings to the Royal Family as they have within their little bubble?; d) all of the above Edited February 9, 2022 by KingRocketman II 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Anyone who takes the national anthem guff seriously should be reminded daily that had it not been for a couple of accidents of birth (and maybe) a court case in the USA, our next "gracious" and "noble", there by the grace of the supernatural monarch would be Prince Andrew who despite his "interesting" past remains 9th in line to the throne.

tamthebam Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Some fuds always seem to come up with the idea of "let's have street parties" for these commemorations. This is 2022, no f*cker knows who their neighbours are, let alone talks to them. I'm nearly 50. I've never been to a street party in my puff. Maybe some fool in our street might think it a good idea but thankfully I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMG Spider Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Apologies if it's already on here, but cba looking through the whole thread. Wrt that "tune", saw this in the Grauniad recently, a version written in 1794 by an American republican and French citizen Joel Barlow: God save the Guillotine Till England's King and Queen Her power shall prove: Till each appointed knob Affords a clipping job Let no vile halter rob The Guillotine...
