Anybody planning or going anywhere jubilee related over the next few days. Who have put their bunting out, union jack waistcoat ready or like me staying in as much as possible to avoid it all.

When I was working I looked forward to Bank Holidays but now retired I couldn't care less.

As for the Jubilee celebrations, if they were being held in my garden I'll look the other way.

Yes, we get bank holidays off but don't get paid for them.

I've got a Mr Grumpy T shirt you can borrow.

Me n Mrs Gloves having a few tinnies in the Garden.
She can join me when shes finished the Housework
.

Yes lots of people think everyone gets paid for Bank Holidays, under EU Employment Laws it was 5.6 weeks paid holidaya year which could include Public Holidays, no idea now as we are no longer in the EU, it was pro rats for part time workers
Could be worse if you live in the States, it is I believe at the discretion of employer how many holidays you can have.

Our lass is busy organising, doesn’t bother me one way or the other, but if she who must be obeyed wants to put flags out she can, I certainly don’t want her tanks on my lawn so to speak.

Er, I suspect Mr Derwent said it tongue in cheek.

With you all the way Mr A. Cant bloody stand Royalty at the best of times and am retired so bank holidays to me mean the shops shut early and there's even less chance of getting a GP appointment. Yes, I admit it......I am a miserable git.

Jesus what a miserable bunch on her.
I agree though.
Wheres my Oliver Cromwell outfit?

If Mr Accy declines my T shirt offer, Ozzy, the offer goes to you.

Ill be dressed in my best Viking outfit - Vaping & pillaging some north yorkshire village.... no but on a serious note... thanks for the extra day off that i wont be getting paid for - cushty - ill be at the caravan - getting it either Summer ready or ready to be shifted to the south of france for a few weeks.

Never mind moaning about Bank Holidays, I took early retirement and now find as soon as you wake up, you’re working. Not fair.

Hope you wont be doing any fly tipping.

That's been my day today..concreting..I to retired early.. but by late afternoon sat in garden having a drink on a glorious day,
For Hartlepool. Mind you I am aching everywhere.

i,ll pass on that thanks. funny how blokes have little interest in all this as well as royalty in general where women are all over this and in general love em all. thank goodness my partner feels the way i do and it was one of the few things me and my ex agreed on. just wonder where the trans lot are on this and the rest of the minorities we have to love. on on second thoughts is the tee shirt L size in imperial measurements.

Tell me about it, done enough decking to build a replica of the Mary Rose with the wood, built a summerhouse, new shed ….. at least you could skive at work, but the obergruppenfuherer is always there overseeing your ‘freedom’.

I think its only fair that the likes of us get a one off payment of £100 to compensate.

Nah...medium.
During lockdown my wife took up the crochet route and she has become very good at it.
For the Jubilee celebrations her contribution to the decoration of our village was to crochet a cover for the top of the post box and a cushion, topped with a crown. It went viral on the village website and is currently going skywards on Doncaster Metropolitan Borough website with over seven thousand likes, plus hundreds of comments.
I'll get her to put a picture of it on here.
I've got to say the atmosphere the Jubilee has created is nothing short of phenomenal round our way and, after the pandemic, that is good to see.
And the sun is shining.
Go with the flow and enjoy a few beers in the sunshine. We can always return to the grumpy grandad club later.
Bah Humbug.

Still got my name down for public hangman for the aristocracy come the revolution. I,ll save the front row for your missus with her needles.

I see the usual bunch of Z listers and so called Sports People have been given honours by Doris.

What a mockery this is

just wish i was on that list just for the chance of refusing it.

Andrew has covid..........really or convenient?

that put a little cynical smile on my face this morning.

Both

Brian May looked like he hasn't had a haircut since the silver jubilee and Rod Stewart killed Sweet Caroline for me at last night's concert....Eeeh and fancy Harry and Meghan not turning up. tut

Last day for a good ol sing song eh,any of you old bastads up for the pogo?

These ‘performers’ had their day in the 70’s, if this was the Silver Jubilee in 1977 that means they’d be inviting George Formby, Arthur Askey and Glenn Miller if he’d still been around. Never too old to Boogie eh.
Just caught the Beckhams holding a tea party him and her with their medals on display, what the hell did she get one for…..?

What's there not to like about The Platinum Pageant eh ..Chris Eubanks and Cliff Richard on the same bus tickled me..not a bad show..enjoy snowy .

I tried to avoid this parade by doing an outside wiring job but was that cold had to go in….seriously it’s like being castrated with a vice only more cruel….death by dross.
Really can’t take any more….Fook it, I’m off outside to the joy of electricity.
She’ll never miss me

It's on in our house as well but relief is on it's way. The Wales v Ukraine match is live on ITV at five o'clock. The female commentator has called a reliant robin a robin reliant. Then there's Naga Munchetty's sister following the "floats" having orgasms. I'm just taking the piss.

Not that I want it to happen but just think what the TV coverage will be when the queen passes away ?

That’ll be history, this has been pure undiluted syrupy showbiz schmaltz.
Typically, after four days of fawning sycophantic orgasmic delight the meeeeja ran true to form …. with one news programme asking if the Royal Family should foot the bill…what a bunch of forty faced hypocrites.
I got a bollocking for walking in and asking what the self inflating Beckhams were doing on and when did Lulu become an expert on royal affairs, seriously BBC wtf.
I then left in a huff.

was waiting for a platinum screen to come up out of the ground that showed the best of vera lynn that finished off with the white cliffs of dover to stop having a dry eye in the place.

do not worry, some other channel will be showing repeats of the sweeney or murder she wrote.

Well...it is mostly optional for young teens to get vaccinate so...
