It’s the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend coming up and whilst I’m no particular fan of the monarchy – I do appreciate the extra day off. Other people however, all around the country, are going nuts for it – stringing up triangles of cloth and covering everything in flags… Would jubileeve it?
A quick look around the web reveals all sorts of goings on to celebrate 60 years of “rule”, from street parties to concerts, from park picnics to a royal pageant…
Has the Queen ever killed anyone with a sword? I can’t take a monarch seriously if they’ve never killed anyone with a sword… @Scroobiuspipyo
The Queen’s (presumably real…) twitter account has been very active recently – certainly worth a gander to get into the trials and tribulations of her everyday life
OK people. It’s one’s Diamond Jubilee, it’s a four-day weekend, it’s way past home time and it’s most certainly Gin O’Clock. @Queen_UK
There’s some lovely Ganster Queen Memes and some Quite Interesting facts about the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee from the brains behind QI.
…and if you get bored, why not Send a Message to the Queen….
Ok people, that’s enough. It’s jubilee weekend and it’s home time. Take the rest of the day off. Your Queen loves you. @Queen_UK
By far the funniest Jubilee video has been created by Cassetteboy – but the BBC keep taking it down. Luckily, the Internets put up two more for every one that is removed. You’d have thought the BBC would know better than to try and censor something on the web…it just makes it more interesting to a wider group of people (a bit like trying to block torrent sites or herd cats). Hopefuilly, the video should show below…at least for now.
