Jubilee Overdose

[The Spartan]

Listen, - I HAVE been enjoying myself this Jubilee weekend.

As it happens, got some family coming round for afternoon tea. Got the bunting up and have baked a special Jubilee cake with a Union Jack topping.

I wish I was there to see it

I live about 2 miles down the road. But I hate big crowds, and most pop, so gave it a miss.

Also what if anyone in those crowds needs to, you know, "go"? Specifically, where would they go?

Spartie - arent you welsh dude? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

They should have had a private ceremony, no one gives a flying ****, apart from the media and the usual morons who eat anything the press feeds them.

So about 75% of the population then.

But if not for jubilee what would the news be?

a) Phone hacking
b) EURO crisis
c) Syria massacres
d) Ministerial scandals

The news is so dull generally that one longs for a few serial killings to liven things up.

That's not the point. It is the overdose of Jubilee coverage that causes concern. I usually like to listen to Radio Five Live but I've resorted to TalkSport - bloody TalkSport! - to get some respite.

In the portoloos with their hour long queues or in front of your residence. (Just hope you don't have a basement level floor.)

Cheer up least you get another day off.

The BBC journalists all had to work this extended bank holiday weekend.

Well, judging by the execrable standard of their Jubilee coverage, I think we have to take the word "work" at its loosest possible translation.


I notice that they've had to wheel out Hu Edwards today because of all the flak they've been getting.

You could always switch the telly off.

better yet, switch the royal family off

well, try standing under the shower with water on full and watching it on your telly, at least you will get a feel of what the punters went through watching the the firm sailing down the mucky ole thames...
