Re: High's and Low's of the Diamond Jubilee!?
Just watching the highlights and got to say the choir at the end of the floatilla must be one of the best bits. Absolutely soaked yet sang their hearts out, amazing good on the lot of you:D

I wish Elton John would learn to enunciate. I could barely make out the words of the songs he was singing. It just sounded like grunting. And as for Paul McCartney, he was struggling to reach the high notes.

The High Point for me was this morning knowing it was all over, the Low was when it started on Saturday and I'm not anti Royal at all, too much TV with very poor presenters

BBC News - Jubilee coverage: BBC receives more than 2,000 complaints And I have to say I wholeheartedly agree with this comment - and I shouted as much at the TV at the time, when whoever it was came out with it. Even the BBC's former Royal Correspondent Michael Cole joined the criticism, saying the presenters were under-prepared. "I think it's outrageous when you hear a person who's been paid to be a commentator refer to Her Majesty The Queen as Her Royal Highness," he said. "No preparation, no homework. There was no gravitas. I don't remember one memorable phrase or evocative expression." |

Unless you are born here, there is still only one way to become a Canadian citizen. It goes something like this: "I swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen." There always have been, and still are strong ties between Britain and Canada. During WWll Canada gave $3.5 billon to Britain, and after the war, a long term loan of $1.2 billion. This was finally repaid in 2006. And one should also remember the support given to the war effort by the RCAF, The Royal Canadian Navy (which, by the end of the war was the world's third largest), the Candians sacrificed at Dieppe, and the 3rd Canadian Division who landed at Juno Beach on D-Day. Sharing a Head of State serves to maintain the close realtionship between the two countries. |
