Glorious Glorfindel · 04-27-2002, 12:41 PM

Comic Book Guy · 04-27-2002, 12:54 PM

Excitement and interest of the highest order.

Glorious Glorfindel · 04-27-2002, 01:46 PM

anyone else apply for tickets to go the concerts? if you did, do you know when u find out if your going?!
im pretty excited about it. 50 yrs, thats a pretty long time!

StrawberryIcecream · 04-27-2002, 02:23 PM

oooh. I'm bursting at the seams with excitement.

Yeah she deserves it and all but is the government spending all that money on celebrations worth it? I mean hello! NHS problem here!

But anyway, yeah i'm happy for her. It'll be interesting to see how different people celebrate.

Glorious Glorfindel · 04-27-2002, 02:58 PM

basically anduril, its queen elizabeth the seconds fiftieth year of reigning in the british empire. and strawberry, the new budget this yr gave the NHS an extra billion so they're a lot better off now.

If everybody reconised my sarcasm as good as you guys I wouldn't have to worry about a thing.

The monarchy is inseperable from the nation.

Radagast The Brown · 04-28-2002, 01:41 PM

because I'm not an English person I don't know alot on this selebration. But I heard something else about the queen mother. I think it was from a newspaper. It's wrote something about she died!!! I'm not sure, but I think.
ahhh.... and Congratulations for 50 years for the Queen Elizabeth the second!!!

sun-star · 04-28-2002, 03:56 PM

I wouldn't go to any of the concerts, but I'm happy to celebrate. I think the Queen and the monarchy are wonderful, be sarcastic if you like but I don't care!

Radagast, the Queen Mother died at the end of March. Is that what you meant?

Imladris · 04-29-2002, 02:29 PM

yes, she has died, can't believe you didn;t know that, applied for tickets at the concert, when do we know if wer'e accepted?

Glorious Glorfindel · 04-29-2002, 03:15 PM

thats what i wanted to know Imladris too! i want to go to the concerts because they look as if there will be really good acts performing. of course there is the exception of Gareth Gates! sorry Gareth Gates fans! but will is soo much better, but we shouldn't have an argument about that now!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah mate, shes just a symbol now, the monarchy dont do much to run the country. Mainly stuff like:
> Charity work
> Ambassador visits
> Hand Out MBEs, Knighhoods, OBE's etc...
> Own lots of money
> And property
> Be in the newspapers
> Eat posh lunches, and afternoon tea.

Well the queen is still our head of state in Australia and she comes here every few years to wave at old ladies I think. We had a referendum a few years ago and the majority of people voted for her to stay head of state. Nobody really cares here except womens magazines.
What are the concerts about? Anyone good going to be there?

viggosbeard · 04-30-2002, 07:13 AM

If any of our cousins over the pond want to buy her,you can have her - shes yours for a doughnut . If you really want to know what liz does ......join the queue , because none of us know - she waves at us commoners and then goes back to one of her many homes/castles and laughs at the strange scruffy little people . she also spends lots of our dosh , along with her children ,cousins neices etc etc - up the revolution , King Ellesar was never like that.

Radagast · 04-30-2002, 11:59 AM

Indeed, the Queen is the English Head of State, she is a symbol of power.

Yes, the Prime Mimister and the Cabinet and the House of Lords and the House of the Commons run the country but her word carries a lot of weight.

Radagast · 04-30-2002, 12:02 PM

What is given in tourism and the Crown Estates far outweighs the money spent to keep it.
