patriotism





*Paraphrasing





I was half expecting it to be wrapped around Prince Charles' cock when he came out after the concert for that pathetic speech, though it was nice of his mother to say a few words. Oh no, hang on, SHE DIDN'T SAY ONE WORD TO ANYBODY. She just stood there like a slightly more confused but slightly less green Yoda.





Nigel was excitedly telling everyone at lunchtime that he came up with a new word over the weekend... "Buntify".





'Oooooh what does that mean Nige?' Croaked Mary, as if it wasn't patently obvious.





'Well, to buntify basically means, if something hasn't got bunting on it, we PUT bunting on it! Haha! I've submitted it to the Oxford English Dictonary!'





Brilliant. If the Oxford English Dictionary accepts that as a new word, I'm going book burning.





Twats.

So after four days off (the weekend and two bank holidays), I was quite looking forward to going back to work, just because it meant I wouldn't have to hear any more about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (or so I thought). What a crock of shit. Why does the whole country turn into North Korea (minus the starvation) when it comes to these bullshit monarchist celebrations? Every news channel, radio station and member of the general public are completely taken over by this automatic need toabout this bollocks. Even the supposedly neutral BBC put theirjingoism in full view and get away with it. Bias bastards. Completely mindless worship and adulation of the Royal Family who don't actually do anything. Embarrassing. Some guy on the news (can't remember his name) actually said:He's right. HOW DID SHE FIND THE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE TO COPE WITH THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FALLING TO THEIR FEET AND FAWNING OVER HER FOR ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY HOURS NON-STOP? Sounds stressful.Fuck me, she's defied the rain? We live in England for fuck's sake, it rains every fucking day. She has to defy the rain every time she wants to take a stroll out of Buckingham Palace to re-fill on cucumber sandwiches.When I got to work this morning, I assumed the normal, clinical, soul destroying decor would be back, but no, the cunting bunting was still draped over any inanimate object possible.
