He might kark it from all the walking he's doing. Would be the most strenuous thing he's ever done.Although, with his genes, he'll probably last another 25 years.
And they’ll get to do another long overblown, over reported ceremony in about 12 or so months time when Charles is formally crowned.This thing is going forever. Will there be a new king by it's end?
Unbelievable. Imagine how much this event has cost the British taxpayer to put on at a time when their country is bleeding economically.And they’ll get to do another long overblown, over reported ceremony in about 12 or so months time when Charles is formally crowned.
Are we gonna get another public holiday?And they’ll get to do another long overblown, over reported ceremony in about 12 or so months time when Charles is formally crowned.
The reptilian gene?Although, with his genes, he'll probably last another 25 years.
Ive been driving around Bakes turf, rural WA.
And the aboriginal flags on civic buildings at half mast is annoying the *smile* out of me.
If i was a mayor, id be asking the local blackfellas
If theyde like a kite,
To fly THEIR flag at double or triple mast.
Them's the rules.
The Australian flag is at half-mast because our Head of State has died, the problem here is not that the flag is at half mast because of the Head of State dying, it is that the Head of State is a foreign monarch, or even that we have a head of state, or a state, depending on your opinions.
Since the Australian flag is at half mast, no other flag can be higher than the Australian flag in Australia. So, it isn't so much that the Indigenous flag is at half mast, its just that the indigenous flag cannot be higher than the Australian flag.
If you think all of that is ceremonial BS, I'd agree, but it is what you get with the nation-state.

same for me ..I am far from a royalist. I am very keen for us to be a republic mainly because I am Australian, not British.
However I found myself watching quite a bit of it last night, not because of some secret adoration of the Queen and the royal family, but because of the spectacle and pageantry.
It was quite amazing really, the sometimes almost comical rituals, the number of people involved, the precision and in the end the cost !!
I was sort of gobsmacked by it and mesmerised at the same time
Same here. Didn’t watch a lot though. But I was mesmerised by this dude in the processionI am far from a royalist. I am very keen for us to be a republic mainly because I am Australian, not British.

So, this is a very large straw man argument.Off with their *smile*'in heads.
