Come on give it a thread.
We can't all be English/British haters
or anti Monarchists.
Although there may be a few.
The Diamond Jubilee
I don't mind it, it's all a bit naff but sweet. Although the boats going up the river stuff got quite tired pretty fast.

'Hey, we're thinking of throwing you a big bash for your 60th'
'You know what, I just fancy a quiet one'
'No, don't be silly, it'll be great'
The coverage on the rolling non-news channels though makes me want to hurt people.
I enjoyed Eamonn Holmes.
