Saw this on the tv programme when it was broadcast, how strange it is but maybe not to them - ceremony is everything to some people. Do you think it could work similarly between England, Wales and Scotland, nice spectacle if it did or perhaps not as it might not drag people away from the telly every night.

Hmmm it is pretending I don't have Flash on my PC. Can't be bothered with it. I'm sure it is nice whatever it is though.

Stunning. I love ritual like this, so convoluted, ridiculous and, as you say - mad as a box of jelly badgers.

Try this one Old_Geezer.

I can't remember when I saw this Dee but it is so funny every time I see it,
I think it was shown in one of these programmes such as Michael Palin used to do

Much better than lobbing nuclear bombs at each other.

I'm sure they laugh at our lot in bear skin hats, going through pointless rituals.

Much of Indian life was learnt from the British anyway.
