Too late ,I saw it before the jackboots intervened, Excellent realjack. To have a real sense of humour you must be able to laugh at yourself first, unfortunately our friends across the sea could never do that, empire and all that you know!Originally posted by RoyalGreenJacket View Post

fortunately 2 can play at that game APC, however i don't think you or others would take too kindly to pics of someone of equal status to the DFI to be falsely depicted in such a pose - however i'll remember that should the situation arise again.Originally posted by apc View PostToo late ,I saw it before the jackboots intervened, Excellent realjack.

Pleased to see that removed - she showed more respect for us and our history in Dublin last year than I ever thought I'd see from a UK monarch in my and indeed my kids lifetime.Last edited by Orion; 31 May 2012, 20:22.Comment

I have to say, I'm surprised at the response over here, some streets are festooned with bunting, Brownies and Schools are having jubilee parties, and it does seem like a flashback to the fifties in some respects (and before anyone complains about indoctrination of the kids, the teacher who is organising it for one of my children is from Cork, and the RC Church Hall was festooned with Union jack bunting last night).
There does seem to be genuine affection and respect from the ordinary people, more than I can remember in the 25-odd years I have been here, certainly more than at any of the weddings (or even the whole Princess Di funeral).'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

Personally, I'm viewing it as more of an outsider, I have to say. But when I live here, my wife has a UK passport and the kids were born and brought up here, one tends to go with the flow...
Personally I'm spending the next five days working trains in and out of London transporting them too and from the events, and all I'm hoping for is a quiet time.
Although I'm beginning to wonder if I have been here too long, I was called am "English Bastard" by a drunken Scotsman last week (at least he'd been standing at the bar for an hour, so I'm assuming he was drunk).
He also invited me out into the station carpark so he could "sort me out", he looked like Taggart and spoke like Rab C Nesbitt..Last edited by Flamingo; 31 May 2012, 21:39.'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,

Jez get a grip, If that had been the French head of state or even Michael D rather than your Queen in a pose like that I am sure you would have seen it for what it was - FUNNY.Originally posted by RoyalGreenJacket View Post
With regard to your veiled threat I think you previous attitude to our DF has already set the bar, so no fear there.

WHEN IN ROME........
I will be celebrating over the weekend. Usually when I am based in London I never go away for bank holidays -just too much hassle and too expensive. London is full of tourists at present and they will all be celebrating-including the traditional auld enemy the French and the more recent - the Fritz's. (aka the cousins).
I had the opportunity to spend some time on the river today and a chance to visit the French ship Belem -all the South Bank was full of families and languages from all over the world - all enjoying themselves tremendously - it will be a great weekend. I just love this new Europe where people can be so relaxed and confident in themselves.Comment
