The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

[MoonRiver]

Has there ever been a more boring spectacle in the history of t.v. Seriously, the same dull music playing over and over for hours on end, as boats slowly float down the river, while royals stoically wave to their adoring subjects.

1. Celebrating an old Anglo woman having a position for 60 years. Of course that's boring.

[malaise]

2. Don't know

I'm watching the French Open - fuck the royals everywhere on the planet

[orpupilofnature57]

3. They say she enjoys people being on edge

"Imagine shes a pretty nice girl ,but she doesn't have a lot to say ".

[MoonRiver]

4. "This is the most amazing thing in the history of the modern world,"

per CNN pundit.

5. What other country has a titular head that's been there for 60 years

And is still popular with the majority of the citizenship?
Mubarak - they're pissed he didn't get the death penalty.
I'm dual citizenship UK and US. I lived half my life in the UK then moved to the US. Having lived through eight presidential elections, and seen the increasingly nasty campaigns, the election frauds and the complete polarisation of the country, I finally gave up and moved back to the UK. I've come to appreciate a system where half the population doesn't automatically hate the Head of State because they voted for the other guy. The Queen has no power other than advisory to the actual guy in charge, the Prime Minister.

6. I'd rather watch grass grow. (nt)

7. I suspect

That she was bored shitless by it all too, but is too polite to let her displeasure show.

A 3-hour parade of boats passing by whilst you're stood in the pissing rain on a miserable (typically British) June day, when is that ever not boring?

[MoonRiver]

8. Yeah, you couldn't pay me enough to be "her."

[grasswire]

9. where are you watching this?

I'd like to check it out.

10. It's over but I was watching on CNN.

Actually, I wasn't really watching. It was on and I noticed it as I walked around the house.
