Coronation

[Manc]

Will you be watching this historic event? The coverage has already become unbearable two days out so I'll have to give it a pass. Might be a good time to go to the tip.

[Waffdon]

I’ll be at the football thankfully. Though I have to go out for a birthday tea after it and I’m a bit concerned the Perth royalists will be out in full but let’s hope not.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not a chance.

Fuck the King.

[Boydy]

I'm posting from my phone in a tent on the Mall.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've got cricket, but it'll rain, so I might do. It'll be better than the usual such things.

[Shindig]

Doesn't really have the same pageantry as a 96 year old woman in a box. I'll be watching the Robocop Trilogy instead.

[Mike]

My wife’s mum is way into the royal family and is up this weekend for the social event of the year, our 5 year olds sixth birthday, it won’t be on and she’ll sulk and it’ll be marvellous.

[Spikey M]

I don't eat Coronation Chicken. I don't watch Coronation Street. I have had Coronavirus, sadly. But now I finally get to complete the hattrick... I'M NOT FUCKING WATCHING IT!

[Ian]

An event for the elderly, jingoists and under-blessed with critical thought.

It's not being RAMMED DOWN MY THROAT In the new TTH parlance so unless the storm-troopers turn up to glue my eyes to the telly and force allegiance I'll just do literally anything else.

[igor_balis]

coronation chicken is really good to be fair

[Ian]

It's an acceptable supermarket sarnie because they can just bang a few spices in and hope for the best.

[igor_balis]

I generally quite like veggie replacements, but the chickpea version of the coronation chicken sandwich is a truly miserable experience

[Ian]

Chickpeas aren't ever a great time. They can be decent but you'd always sub them out for something else.

Like bacon, for example.

[Lofty]

I'm on a stag do so will be safely oblivious for the duration.

[Ben]

Nope, bollocks to that.

[Raoul Duke]

I'm not even sure what day it is on

[Spikey M]

Cold curry with raisins. :sick:

[Giggles]

Our national broadcaster are RAMMING IT DOWN OUR THROATS.

[Spikey M]

This stuff always baffles me. There was a lady from one of the Caribbean islands camping out (4 nights of sleeping in a collapsible chair) to get a good spot and I just wonder how they reconcile it. The geezer is going to go past in a gold carriage with centuries of pillaging and plunder on his nut, and the "commonwealth" stands and claps? Uwotm8.

Ireland has the intelligence to fuck the commonwealth off, but why are you guys paying the slightest bit of attention to this?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Maybe what was there before/after the Brits wasn't/isn't a land of milk and honey either.

[Dave.]

I'm not a fan of the royals but have a vague interest in this as an historical event. I'm working from home on Saturday morning and early afternoon but will have it on in the background.

[niko_cee]

Get the feeling this is going to turn into a bit of a sad affair like when George Dubya Bush got inaugurated in the driving rain that time.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The Arab is doing his coronation takes. 'Why are you hiring this old king? You should hire a young queen or king who will leave a legacy.'

He'd never heard of Charles until we showed him just now.

[Ben]

I thought Camilla wasn’t going to be Queen?

Also I see protesters getting nicked for nothing. Democracy lives on.

[Bam]

What a load of old nonsense. Roll on 2pm for the street party and a bevy or ten.

[Mike]

My wife’s mum is way into the royal family and is up this weekend for the social event of the year, our 5 year olds sixth birthday, it won’t be on and she’ll sulk and it’ll be marvellous.

She put it on while I took the youngest to Diddikicks and is trying to convince the 6 year old that it’s interesting. She’s failed, and she’s watching Bluey on the iPad after calling it brining.

[Spikey M]

I've been dragged into London (Natural History Museum, not this shite) and the arrests are justified. Attention seeking bell ends all round.

[Bam]

What are the rent a mob protesting about, not wanting a royal family?

[Lewis]

The Royal Family are extremely fortunate that professional republicans in this country are the biggest bunch of miserable gay losers imaginable.

[Shindig]

From the BBC ticker.


There are a few hundred anti-monarchy protesters at Trafalgar Square. The Coronation service is being relayed to the crowds by loudspeakers.

Every time the words King Charles are mentioned, the demonstrators chant: “Not my king”.

In other parts of the service they are booing, shouting: “He’s just a normal man.”

After the anointing when the words “God save the King” were pronounced, the anti-monarchists booed loudest of all, and started chanting “not my king” again.

[Kikó]

Attention seeking is not a criminal offence

[Spikey M]

Should be. Capital offence at that.

[7om]

Quality ceremony, that. Enjoyed it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's been decent. I don't quite get the 'what about food banks?' mentality. If you followed that then no one would ever do anything except drive soup into warehouses.

[Boydy]

I've been watching it but found it pretty boring tbh.

[Boydy]

Enjoyed the bit where they played the champions league theme though.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Poor old David Olusoga getting pelted from both sides on twitter. God forbid anyone be allowed to actually give a different perspective on a mainstream channel without being either a token or a sell out.

[Baz]

Something about it costing taxpayers £100m when he inherited £2BN tax free off the queen, seemed to be the many problem with people at work.

[Jimmy Floyd]

100 million is fuck all and probably made it back anyway in plates and shit little teddy bears.

[Lewis]

I would rather a hundred million quid went on this than literally anything else the government could feasibly spend it on. I think that's about an hour of NHS spending, and this hasn't killed anybody.

[Shindig]

100 million is fuck all and probably made it back anyway in plates and shit little teddy bears.

Yep. I often wonder how much was made from the 250,000 that watched the Queen lie in state.

[Spikey M]

That's the equivalent of about 5 minutes of work on HS2.

Just jumped on the tube back across London and we've managed to avoid pretty much all of the Royal crowd today. What a result.

[Lewis]

The best-kept secret in tourism is that the Natural History Museum is crap.

[Spikey M]

Yep. I often wonder how much was made from the 250,000 that watched the Queen lie in state.

How often is often? You morbid cunt.


The best-kept secret in tourism is that the Natural History Museum is crap.

There's some cool bits but I wouldn't rush back.

[niko_cee]

Did you go to see the titanosaur? I thought it was decent. Museum's not too bad either, and I enjoyed the lack of being browbeaten into donating (which I found to be the case at the science museum).

[Spikey M]

We didn't. We made the mistake of eating there and I now need to remortgage. £13 each just for the kids fish fingers and chips. :happycry: after that I couldn't stomach the £40 odd to go in and the kids weren't particularly arsed.

The kids enjoyed the earthquake simulator and the dinosaurs but I think they're too young to get much out of it really.

[Shindig]

Next time I go to one of those places, I need to spot what's around it for something to eat. I ate at the Field Museum and spent something like £14 for a grilled sandwich. They also had a Titanosaur but it wasn't behind a further ticket price.

[-james-]

Just watching the repeat, Penny Mordaunt with that sword got me feeling some way.

[Lofty]

Was she in her one piece?

[niko_cee]

I thought the way the archbishop really wedged the crown on and then eyed it up like he was putting a shelf up or something was a bit unedifying.

[Shindig]

Should've got the spirit level out just to make sure.

[Waffdon]

Spikey being a sneaky royalist should not be ignored.

Anyway, Ant looks like he was on the king finest marching powder
