That isn't evidence tamada that a 96 year old is capable of being a head of state unless that's about all the head of states does. The 96 year old is just keeping the seat warm for the next head of state. It isn't satisfactory. I say congratulations to her on hitting the big 96 but ...

Surprise!

It must really push your buttons that she had the effrontery to venture out once again in public to open the London Underground line named in honor of her glorious reign.

The sad thing is that unless you subscribe to a steaming service m,any events over the beginning of June can not really be viewed fully ,

Hard to find a decent one these days. My grandad recommended The Caledonian Steam Packet Company though, back during the war.

Keeping to the topic, I'm returning to the UK in time for the celebration weekend. Happily, I will be able to view all the festivities first hand if I want, without resorting to steaming (sic).

I'm happy to report back for those Brits living out their miserable existence in the arse end of nowhere who really want to join in but dont have the wherewithal or motivation to achieve their dreams.

Thanks anyways samster, being invited to Buck House was a bit of a novelty back in the day, but not something I would rush to repeat

BTW, Im still entitled to free travel on Caledonian Macbrine Steam Packet Ferries \:D/

I'm assuming he's referring to Buck House jack, anywhere else would require TV/Streaming or some other form of media which KP et al will all have anyway

Everyone is smiling because a 96 year old has an outing. Not enough.

Yes, it is.

I need to get you a Union Jack Bowler for the Jubilee, Cali. Sausages on sticks, fizzy pop and Battenburg cake, it's gonna be a hoot!

A tenner be big city prices, no?

Still cheaper in the provinces (no flag either).

My favorite chippy in Lancaster is now charging nine quid for haddock and chips whereas my other favorite one 40 miles down the road is still seven quid. The one nearest the house is only £5.20.

Best regards,

Only England?

But its okay to vote in an over 80 year old to be The Leader Of The Free World with his finger on a button that could end the world as we know it. Fairly intelligent lot in the grand old home of redneck country music.
