    I cannot believe you are not gooing over the horrendously ill behaved brats making faces and covering ears etc.

    At least we can confidently vote for most likely to be replace andrew in the hall of shame when he finally gets jailed.

    Well my son graduated High School yesterday. (As they do, in US... All wearing their colourful robes and hours of boring cookie cutter speeches about how there is so much exciting life ahead of them).
    So he's done with regular school now and off to Uni in a different part of the State, living near the beach next year.


    And my 15 year old got her driver's learning permit.


    Neither of these things are particularly good news for me... But they are for my kids. <laugh>

    Anyone else get thr impression that the BBC presenters would go in and smother the Queen if they could.

    They seems almost desperate to get on with the burial.

    You can hear the anticipation in the bbc reporting.

    Oh she's gonna die. Oh when will we get to play solemn and wear black etc.

    Is the Queen dying?


    Or rather... Is she very sick? I assume she will die one day.

    Probably neither, she's just old. I mean how many other 96yr olds are expected to be out and about at hours long public engagements day after day.

    I mean of course she's dying, aren't we all and frankly at 96 she's closer than most, but I'm not expecting her to pop her clogs in the next few days.

    Are we taking bets on when? (or is that crass?) I'd go with Jan next year.
    I'd also like to hope that'd be the end to the monarchy, but I think my hopes will be dashed as jugears is crowned.

    It's just a case that old folk don't recover from stuff and they get frailer and frailer.

    I'd say she took a battering then the old man died and all that sat on your own for the public image while boris partied etc etc.

    My.bet is she's been hanging on for this party **** and will pop off within the calender year.

    Nice. Lining up and then masking and welding miles off the spot is a right pain

    They can reverse aging in mice now... Only a matter of time before they move that technology to humans (of course people all staying young brings new problems)... But if she can hang on a few more decades, for rich people at least, the age you are won't be a factor in how likely you are to die soon.

    The beeb were on about how fun it was that the Duke of Kent staggered out there beside her on the baloney and they were on about how he had so many baubles and the royal reporters made a throw away comment that the closer you are the more trinkets you get.

    Throwing trinkets and baubles between each other and sitting in massive estates is not work.


    However, let's be clear. They were on about the royal yacht and all that jizz a few days back and touring the planet but look at all the billionaire's living off peoples hard work today with super yachts.

    We still have the same, just changing one for another oligarch type at the top creaming it off the sweat off the ants beneath them.

    Wonder how many food banks the celebrations could have paid for?
    21 st century and we have food banks !
    Shameful for a western society which is 5/6 th richest in the western world. I'm no tree hugger but this is shameful.
    For all those guffawing royalists, the Palace of Versailles is one of the top visited attractions of Frogland and guess what Louis XIV isn't there.
    Booooooooo
