Re: Proud day to be British

Well, as it turns out, democratically elected governments haven't done any better and have possibly done worse than the monarchies they replaced. So, good for the Queen even though she does fuck all? :idk:

Waste of money and the concept of hereditary privilege is abhorrent.

Re: Proud day to be British

YAY TIME TO CELEBRATE! HORRIBLE FOOD FOR EVERYONE!

PS...for sake of full disclosure, My grandpa came over from Wales. There's a good chance I'm drunk right now.


That's cool! I'm a bit pissed too so forgive me if I've been a bit too forthright :smileyhappy:

Re: Proud day to be British

The royals bring in a lot of money now through public relations, doing business with other countries that have royal families. Those countries prefer do business with others of their stature,be it wrong or right.

They can also use their fame to draw attention to global issues..


They may well bring in a lot of money, but they also cost a hell of a lot of money too, offset the incomings and outgoings and we could do just as well (or better) without them.

She has no say in the running of the country, she is simply and overpaid figurehead who swans around the world in her finest robes and jewels going to banquets and visiting other overpaid heads of state and royalty, for what???? nothing that anyone else couldn't do.

As for useing their fame to draw attention to global issues... Bob Geldof done that too... and done a far better job of it than any royal, I'd sooner give Bob my taxes than the bloody royal family.

lol, thread is backfiring, who'd a thunk it :lol:
The community here was awesome but the digs & spirit of the place has been in decline ever since it became a business venture rather than a simple collective and this latest gong show really brought the chickens home to roost.

Necessity is the mother of invention, ergo: www.guitarampboard.com.

So long and thanks for all the fish, love izzy.

Re: Proud day to be British

I would say it too.. I too am Scottish and I'm proud to be Scottish , which is something I can't say about being British
why are you proud of being Scottish? Worst diet in Europe? Highest heart disease? Highest alcoholism? Or is the the kilt? (irish) tartan? (Irish) whiskey? (Irish) bagpipes? (Irish) haggis? (English actually) Or is it just the fact that we kicked your arse in a few wars back in the day? So what, get over it.

I apologise, I guess unless you were raised with monarchy you wouldn't get it... It's just a case of national pride really. Guess you have nothing similar to compare it too.

Fucking this. At a time when people are struggling more than ever to find work and keep a house over their head, the thought of celebrating some one born into a very very rich life and no need to do a single days work pisses me off. Proud to be British? no. Why be proud of something that happened by accident of birth. Be proud of your achievements, don't be proud of something that you had no say in.
