Take this Queen's Jubilee and SHOVE IT RIGHT UP YOUR ARSE

the olympics are for wastemen too so

the fitba team of gareth bale, a couple of token olds and a load of token malnourished spides from the provinces is going to be so bad

TEAM GB

Carl Diem devised the idea of the torch relay for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin that was organized by the Nazis under the guidance of Joseph Goebbels. Krupp armaments company produced the torches in wood and metal, inspired by an olive leaf. The Olympic Flame was lit by a concave mirror in Olympia, Greece and transported over 3,187 kilometres by 3,331 runners in twelve days and eleven nights from Greece to Berlin.

who knew the Nazis were into torches?

this jubilee rules guys, keep up the good work

kicks the shit out of the last jubilee IMO

i should probably watch derek jarman's jubilee at some point i guess

The film had many critics in British punk circles. Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood manufactured a T-shirt on which was printed an "open letter" to Jarman denouncing the film and his misrepresentations of punk.[1] Jarman described the project as "a film about punk" during pre-production, but later explained that it had a much broader thematic scope.[citation needed]

The Nazis were definitely into large scale public spectacle and were quite good at it.

you calling this german royal family nazis?

Think Hitler would have demanded something a bit more impressive than Gary Barlow and a few boats in the torrential rain.

at least marching down the Thames

yeah u could create a giant heat pump to get pulis and co to march the olympic flame up the thames estuary to the strains of elvis costello

Kinda bored with people lazily conflating the Olympics and the Jubilee into one orgy of bourgeois indulgence. At least the Olympics involve people with actual talent.

yeah Olympics actual events are great, and highly addictive tv watching...the pomp around it can git tae fuck almost always

Me? Call the royals nazis? Never! I let them speak for themselves.

the olympics is either a distractionary nonevent in the major sports like football, tennis, even boxing now tbh, else it's the grim spectacle of unpopular hobbyist sports suddenly becoming a populist cause célebre cuz the participants happen to be british

oh there's athletics which is great for abt 9.6 seconds before david sullivan annexes the venue

it was good when Australia won all the swimming events remember that ;_;

i can happily conflate the jubilee and olympics as things i fucking hate :D

can't believe dem bourgies would conflate two totally different rituals of participatory meaningfulness, holistic volkism and celebratory obeisance in that way

Del Boy could say it WHILE FALLING THROUGH A FUCKING BAR.
COMEDY GOLD!!!

I would expect that from you DG though. You were the boy in primary school who told all the children santa didnt exist.

Nazi Harry told to see Holocaust film Shoah would've been more to the point.

pretty sure harry has never gone more than a shoah runtime without blapping a debutante or vomitting on something plush

lol that got me

I was worried that my village (as it's also a RAF base) would be terrible, as far as flags and bunting etc. - but not a single instance. Perhaps the Scottish factor won the day. There was, however a fete thing on a football pitch today, but I played the dour republican and just got drunk reading books in my local (which was the 'toilets' for the fair - never trust local council or the MOD to arrange anything).

And it's not like this crap is over - the Olympic torch is coming through in a week or so. :(

get out the piano wire yeah :D

Thinking of putting up a banner across the street - can't think of a slogan though. The best (sigh) I've come up with is 'Jobs and Justice, not Jewels and Javelins'. Maybe 'Jubilees and javelins'. But that's rubbish. and long. 'Fuck the Tories' is more concise, but maybe more likely to attract the police's ire.

It's good to be reminded every few years that I live in a nation of servile, craven toadies who will happily traipse halfway across the country to stand in the rain waving plastic flags (made in China) at some sourfaced old bag whose greatest achivement is she hasn't died yet, but wouldn't lift a finger to help one of their fellow Britons because it's "none of their business" and "nothing to do with me". Hooray for us!

Well...

We've gone from a silver jub which 'entertained' dissent in the form of a song called "God save the queen" which was about a youth going to waste and nothing about any jubilee (entertained just as long as you accepted being beaten up by lovers of free speech with caveats and lovers of free expression of thumping people)

.. to , um, etc.

Was there an 'entertainment' of the kind of the last nights 'pop music' jambree? I don't recall one.

So, they've gone from 'out-and-out worship, or nothing' of churchinness and stuff, into a knees up and a bunch of jokes at her expense, no offence marm, lots of 'one' references and 'no stuffiness now'..

(The question was referencing the silver jub, obv).

I think the abiding memory of the golden jubilee show was the 'Brian May' moment, all shudder...
