I spotted some humans with little flags. They were waving these flags, like working-girls trying to get rid of punters quick.
Gangs of youths are getting pissed, and you know there will be blood.
Houses are going to be empty in the respectable streets round the corner, making them easy pickings for the bastards that live in the hostel.

Patriotic zeal, sixty years of Queeny-rule.

It's Saturday, we've got four days of this to look forward to, and I've no idea how I'm going to get through it.

I'll probably do a meeting tomorrow, then maybe go to Hyde Park.

The Queen's boat, for the flotilla thing; I saw it the other day in Richmond. It looked crap.

How are other people getting through these festivities? If your drinking, have one for me, because I can't.

I've tried also to explain gently to my kids why I don't think it's right that we have a hereditary system, and tried to ask them 'what do you think the Royal Family's ancestors did to other people to get where they are?'

Patriotic zeal, sixty years of Queeny-rule.

Hahaha. My girlfriend and I have been in the UK for 4 months and will still be here for another 2, and we've taken to calling her Queeny for no discernible reason. Glad to see we aren't entirely insane then!

Also, as an Aussie, I'm well aware of the royal family, but them and the whole circus surrounding them doesn't mean shit to me...

Absolutely nothing has changed. No flags, not bunting, no street party, no drinking even.
Neighbours are jumping about and making weird yelping noises from time to time but that's normal, for them.

I'm just glad I don't live in London anymore.

Here in deepest, darkest Salford, my standard wake-up to the BBC news channel this morning lasted as long as it took my ears to start working and caught wind of its wall-to-wall wankathon for those with an octogenarian fetish.

I spotted a few St George's flags hanging out of windows yesterday but assumed they were in place so they would've decayed into grey, tatty strips of rags by the time England are playing in Euro 2012, but who knows.

(This probably doesn't sound odd to the Americans on here, but public flying of our nations flag in our yards isn't something we do as a general rule. Doubly so when it's the England flag rather than the Union one, as it has unpleasant nationalist overtones).]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10696&Focus=333236#Comment_333236 2012-06-03T06:38:25-07:00 2013-05-18T01:24:48-07:00 flecky http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8949
