I can't remember there being such a gammon hard on for it. Hard not to feel like the gammon have been gammonised what with Brexit and the fact that they have one of their own in charge of running the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been away but definitely don't post as much as I used to. Mixture of getting too old for this shit, not having much to say, trying to use phone/devices less etc. The world is usually a much better place when people who don't have much to say resist the temptation to say something. Works for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm going out on Sunday, the fact there might be Jubilee stuff on is inconsequential to me. Except I feel the need to make a statement. I was thinking an Oliver Cromwell t shirt or something. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 When is the actual “celebration”?Thankfully there’s barely a hint of it over here (which is still more coverage than the “glesca derby” gets, despite it being the”world’s greatest game”)ETA: I want to know when so I can be as un-british as possible that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up. If I picked you up correctly you're in Illinois. During the Revolutionary War a fella called George Rogers Clark (also the name of a gay porn mash-up of Superman and George of the Jungle, but never mind about that just now) marched a force through to Vincennes, Indiana to claim it for the new Republic. I think he got all the way to Virginia, so you might have to take a career break or something if you want to recreate this. What other un-British thing did you have in mind? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
