I had the great honour of working at Derby today filming the Royal visit. Her Majesty walked up the line towards where I was positioned (filming) and I suddenly realized that I was standing 3' away from the most celebrated and respected British Monarch in history.
I'm not known for emotional outpourings but when that lady walked past me smiling at the crowd I had the world's biggest lump in my throat.
It was a great day and a fantastic start to the Jubilee.
God bless you Your Majesty.Her Majesty's Press Corps.... only the innocent (and members of the House of Lords) have nothing to fear.

I would say "hhoooooaaah", but "ooh argh" is more appropriate.

I remember watching Her Majesty's Coronation on a 12" screen black and white television, it was the first time I'd actually seen TV, we had a day off from our army one room school house and were each presented with a commemorative silver sugar spoon, which I still have! Hard to think it was sixty years ago. God Save The Queen!
Incidentally I watched an early morning undress rehearsal for the military parade on YouTube, quite impressive. equally as impressive was the interview given by a young London Scottish major sporting a George Cross ribbon, very articulate, bags of enthusiasm and a Scottish accent, apart from the fact he was wearing his glengarry like a 'Ticket' but then again with a GC I'd forgive him anything!Hey surr, thae bastards urr firin ball!

Saw this on the Telegraph website and thought ARRSErs would appreciate it:
"If a terrorist organisation wanted to knock out the moral compass of Britain, all they'd have to do is to kill 100 celebrities at random. The entire country would have an instant nervous breakdown."

Go ahead punk...jumpinjarhead and RoofRat like this."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her - her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye."

There certainly is. It's vomit inducing to be honest. It's not like the dried-out, old German prune is going to read the shit these cunts are posting. Originally Posted by Biscuits_AB Woofer829 likes this.
