stand up everybody...........

[stokemaveric]

the queen is about to preach to us...errrr i mean its the queens speech in 10 minutes....

[Answerprancer]

I wonder if she's had another horrible anus !

[Sqad]

Got a problem lads?
We have had the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the one from Westminster................so why not the Queen?

[Invictas]

I managed to avoid it,like I have done for about the past 45 years!

[Prudie]

Come on be fair, I expect she doesn't want to do it either but there are still generations of people alive for whom it's very important. My mother for one until she died last year. What's wrong with tradition?

[chrissa1]

Well said Prudie.

[boxtops]

Hear hear Prudie, it's one of the few traditions we all now expect!

[starone]

Each to his, or her own. Personally I have never watched it and never will. How someone as rich as royalty, of any kind, can deign to tell the poor what to do, I don't know. And how the poor can sit there and listen I know even less.

[boxtops]

Some people just watch, I'm not influenced by it, I just look to see what she's on about this year and how/if she has changed since last year.

[alexanderd]

Starbuck one as you have never watched it how can you say she tells the poor what to do? She doesnt!!

[DTCwordfan]

It was largely heard in the previews on the Beeb news yesterday.

So what is new.......

[starone]

Sorry alexanderd, I am an anti-royalist. Can't see any sense in keeping them. Don't tell me they draw tourists, the French get plenty of people there just to look at the palaces, etc, left by their defunct monarchy, and who ever actually sees them, except purely by accident? Standing outside gates and fences gawping and hoping to see something or other - just can't understand it. However, if that's what you want or need to do, that of course is entirely your choice.

[alexanderd]

Starbuck one I am not a royalist but I do say live and let live a lot of people like the monarchy, personally I couldnt care less but I think its better than President Blair or Cameron

[piggynose]

do you think she dances or pogos to this?
