QUOTE (noobree @ Nov 17 2010, 08:11 PM)  Is this a re-run of the 1980s? Tory government: check Royal wedding: check Young Irish people emigrating in droves: check All we're missing is Duran Duran and a Falklands conflict, although ex senior naval officers are doing their best to provoke the latter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11723589 Duran Duran's new single is due for release next month  http://www.rttnews.com/Content/Entertainme...479447&SM=1 |

This is exactly like an episode of Life On Mars! Only difference is that instead of the increasingly insane Thatch in charge we have that nice Mr Cameron at the helm. And here I have a confession to make: I actually quite like Cameron. Labour voter all my life until I moved to Newbury and started supporting the (as it turns out) bloody useless Libdems after I discovered that the local labour party was a joke, as Mr Garvie seems determined to confirm. Now I find myself actually liking a tory leader. How embarrassing! |

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Nov 16 2010, 02:00 PM) Of course we will be getting another Public holiday to go with the Queens Diamond Jubilee Public Holiday on Tuesday the 5th June. At this rate we may catch up with France (NOT!) Is her Diamond Jubilee not 2012? Silver was 1977, Golden was 2002. |

Well if she was married to Phillip in 1952 which I think is correct then the Diamond anniversary is 60 years on, 2012. Can you imagine what Phillip must be thinking contemplating the sort of diamond gift to buy her. I can just see him now looking in Earnest Jones window and counting his change.

I don't think this is anything to do with her wedding anniversary, as she married in 1947 (63 years ago). As I understand it the anniversary is linked to when she bacame queen. Still I think Phil will have to get her a little something, maybe in these times though he will go to H Samuel rather than Ernest Jones. |
