Swear allegiance to our King you peasants

Re: Swear allegiance to our King you peasants

Just went for a walk of about a mile with my dog. It was mostly along terraced streets full of small houses and I saw just one lot of union flags on display. With three days to go, it would appear that enthusiasm for Royal events has fallen off a cliff up here - a year ago ago, there was far more enthusiasm for the Queen's seventieth anniversary on the throne, but there was even more a few years back when that woman who everyone is supposed to hate now married one of Di's sons - don't think there'll be many up here pledging allegiance this weekend.

Think so, The Germans have music festivals there, my lad is playing at the festival in July I think it is, it's not a simple easy Jet or Ryan Air, nearest Airport is Frankfurt, it looks a better option to me to stay on the other side of the Rhine if you had been there would have been interested of your experience of the area, getting across the river late at night etc.

I have travelled up and down the Rhine a few times. You might want to think about Cologne/Bonn airport, nearer Bonn which has a train station right outside. Probably a half hour longer to get to where you are going but the stretch of the Rhine from Konigswinter right down to the Lorelei is more attractive than coming from Frankfurt. Low cost flights go there as well.

The rail lines run both sides of the river. Cologne airport is on the west side. From memory ferries stop early in the evening, around 9pm but I don't know if they will remain longer if there is a special event like a festival. There will be a bridge crossing further up river so might be worth checking buses if you are staying on the west bank.

Intended to embed a youtube video of Johnny Rotten being interviewed by Piers Morgan but it has been removed for 'copyright infringement.'

Beneath it were many comments asking why Charlie, and other royals, were so chummy with Savile when it was common knowledge he was an arch kid fiddler.

Thatcher was a big mate of his too.

Whatever happened to the street parties? No sign that any are going to occur down here I'm delighted to say. I suspect 70 years ago they were rampant.

I suspect the majority of people are not fussed on Charles and really dislike who is to be the new Queen.

She looks like Boris Karloff in a wig.

Few other than Sludge would hurry to peel back the duvet on seeing her in their bedroom.

I can remember the street parties for Charlie’s Investiture in 1969. Can’t remember much for his wedding in1981 or in 1977 for the Queens Silver Jubilee - mind you, I was trying to avoid them by then.

Who cares?

Other than being one of the many girl friends of Prince Andrew she has nothing to do with Royal Family.

To paraphrase Mock the Week, you don't even see the delineation between acceptable commentary and misogyny, do you?
