They made you a moron...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Bugger that, I'm English.
How about all this promotion and propaganda from the political sphere and the media to celebrating St George's (Or St Andrews, St Davids, St Piran's respectively)? Celebrate your country and it's achievements rather than one person?

Have the boats stopped yet?

I can't help thinking that the commentary would have been better if Alan Partridge had been involved.

It's not worth watching the concert is it?

Gazza hasn't chosen The Sisters as being representative of the Eighties?

In the final analysis isn't all this jubilee crap effectively saying "well done for not being dead yet Your Majesty"?

No, it's saying "Well done for not letting your son take over."

Two jobseekers, who did not want to be identified in case they lost their benefits, said they had to camp under London Bridge the night before the pageant. They told the Guardian they had to change into security gear in public, had no access to toilets for 24 hours, and were taken to a swampy campsite outside London after working a 14-hour shift in the pouring rain on the banks of the Thames on Sunday.

I think whats p1ssed me off so much is that I actually bought the "There's no money left" line. More fool me. The security costs of this whole farce alone could have paid for a hell of a lot of libraries, or disability benefits for the terminally ill/injured soldiers, infrastructure investment or any number of things we're told we cant have. I'm far from being a raging Trot, but this whole thing stinks .

Ah, you just misunderstood. What Cameron, Osborne et al. meant was "There's no money left for you lot".

We can afford to cut the top rate of tax and host massively expensive jubilee celebrations for the monarchy, we just can't afford to have so many nurses, police officers, etc.

There's enough money in this country - the GDP is respectable, even now - it's how you cut the cake that matters.

Ah yes, good point! :lol: :notworthy:

I strongly suspect though, that when Charles finally does get to be king (he's been heir apparent for longer than anyone else in British history) he'll do something stupid and arrogant and provoke a constitutional crisis. At which point, we can finally wave bye-bye to the monarchy.

Wishful thinking? :lol:

... I don't know given the listings of who was on and the wee bit that I saw, given the choice I think I would have gone for the bladder infection option.

One wag suggested that Phil's "bladder infection" was the palace covering for him taking one look at who was on and saying "they're taking the p*ss"...

I think (hope) that Gollum's Cock was being sarcastic?

I'd be interested to see how this is justified in the light of the recent news tht the government wants to make sure that interns are paid rather than used as free labour. It would serve them right if they lost the contract to steward the olympics as a result (not that I think it will happen - they promise "well-paid work" during the games, after which presumably the previously-unemployed people will be back on benefits and unemployable after the monumental cluster-fuck that the games will inevitably become.
