[Go home ref]

The queen of England is vying with Manchester United for the column-inches monopoly on this GAA discussion board.

There are supporters of the British army and SAS organisations who have murdered many a GAA man on here FFS! Its a total farce

You're right and it's shameful. Manchester United have never even been to Croke Park.

I think a few other reds have though, the Chinese visited Croke Park and I think Arsenal came to watch the Cork hurlers/footballers.

Not the first British gunners to have made a visit to H.Q.

She had a sour puss on her face during jubilee concert or maybe that's the way she looks when humbled.

I dont agree with the monarchy - or the whole jubilee carry on - but the womans husband had been taken into hospital and she was having to go and watch a load of oul guff, I dont blame her for not looking ecstatic.

Yeah, even then she knew he'd pull through.

ONE group of us is mad. Maybe it's us or maybe it's the others but one of us must be.

"That's the most remarkable thing I've ever seen," said the commentator, as a boat floated down the Thames. How cruel of the BBC, to get someone to commentate on the Jubilee who'd never seen a boat before, or indeed anything as remarkable as a boat. They'll probably get him to do the sailing at the Olympics next so they can enjoy him hyperventilating as he gasps: "Oh, my God, there's LOADS of boats! They're TRAVELLING through WATER! It's a MIRACLE!"

For several days it's gone on, presenters telling us about the truly marvellous overwhelming astonishing spectacle and wondering how the Queen manages to be quite so magnificent, until you feel they're about to say, 'And she often beats Ronnie O'Sullivan over 35 frames of snooker, and she invented saucepans and can understand fish language. We are so, so lucky she lets us have her as our Queen.'

Next week, newspapers will publish photos of people who weren't cheerful enough over the Jubilee weekend, telling the public, 'If you recognise any of these traitors ring our confidential hotline and get them arrested.' Then we'll have a series of trials, with a judge growling, "You are a disgusting thug who didn't even have the decency to sing along to Obla di, Obla da," and handing out ten-year sentences to set an example.

To be truly British we had to show our full range by then being devastatingly sad about Philip being unable to go, even though he probably thought, 'Oh, not Elton John again. I had enough of him at that funeral, I'll pull the old dodgy bladder scam.'

But the oddest part is no one can explain what we were supposed to be celebrating. She's been the Queen for 60 years, but all she has to do to be Queen is to be. As long as she exists, she's the Queen – that's how it works. It's not like a boxing champion that has to keep seeing off challengers. If you've been an electrician for 60 years that's worth celebrating because you have to keep rewiring stuff to be one, but as long as she exists she's the Queen. In effect, people are spluttering, 'Isn't she marvellous, still existing for us? Most of us wouldn't have the stamina to keep on existing but even at her age she puts in a full day's existence seven days a week.'

That's why royalists get in a tangle when they claim she's doing a marvellous job, as if she's earned her position on merit, having worked her way up after starting out as a humble princess.

But it would be churlish to deny a party, so next year we should do it all again, except for a random pensioner, with bunting and street parties and souvenir mugs and Huw Edwardes dribbling, 'There's all of Ada's family, waving from the balcony of her care home in Sunderland. She truly is the most remarkable woman there has ever been.'

If we led the privileged life she did of course we would hve the stamina, the woman has probably never wiped her own f**king hole.

The thing about it really is that it's not so much about the queen more a Paddy's day for British folks. People can bestow any sort of nonsense upon her because that's all her position is about. Everything she says is perfectly prescribed and choreographed by her advisers. All messages anodyne and toothless. Her real politics and beliefs are unknown. So when people make incredulous remarks about her it's really just the same as us going "sure aren't we great craic".

Of course she is going to last longer than most monarchs because of advances on health care and a pampered life with no threat of usurpers, guillotines or anything like her predecessors had. 

That said, compared to the decadent and corrupt Spanish royals who are pretty much an embarrassment to a lot of Spaniards and don't have any of the international affection as afforded to Lizzy and the gang.

Neither does Elton............

Suppose he's a queen too.
