The Queen's Diamond Jubilee: Abridged!
I made this!
Four days of that level of drinking and my head feels like ham. Here's the entire Diamond Jubilee weekend condensed into about 100 sexy seconds. I fucking love horses.

Spent the whole weekend off my face
Nice to see what was really going on in normality, thank you.

Me too
There was a surreal moment on Sunday when I got back from the pub and turned the TV on for the first time all weekend, only to be faced with rolling highlights of the day's pageantry. It was all a bit odd.

As much as I'm enjoying the youtube still,
I'm not watching- I don't want to see a single second of it. I spent the entire long weekend oblivious of it.

I was either flying or drinking.
Up against the wall, the lot of 'em etc.

Totally agree- up against a wall NOW
...and not for a celebratory bumming.
Also: Flying? Do go on...

Gliders
I'm still a relative noob, but I'm allowed to fly on my own. The pleasure/adrenaline/sense of accomplishment of making the best part of half a ton of unpowered fiberglass and pilot climb, even for just a few minutes is sublime.
There's already been one other B3ta member who's had a go and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's also a lot cheaper than powered flying, which is cheating anyway.

I flew in a glider
many years ago, it was pretty amazing and certainly a unique experience. I'm not sure my stomach would cope so well these days!

Weirdly, there's a b3tard who's a gliding instructor in his spare time.
Would love to go up, but I'm scared he'd deliberately make me puke.
Also, I haven't been asked :(

If God had meant us to fly without power he never would have created the Rolls Royce company.

Now, are we talking about the vid, or your purpling cock; engorged with patriotic pride from all the pomp & circumstance?

I think/hope/say-three-times-into-a-mirror that it'll stay live as it's made independent of tele people.

If only the BBC had put you in charge of coverage.

Good god yes, I caught maybe a half hour when her pastelness was just getting to the bit in the church
And the commentary, fuck me, not only the most banal, simpering, fanny sucking nonsense I've ever heard, but how fucking embarrassed to be British it made me feel that the world had this as an impression of our whole culture, like everyone in the entire country was doing nothing this weekend but wanking over stamps.
I felt quite ill.

Well honestly
I do hope online social media painted a slightly less handbag licking reality.

Of all the live footage available:
4 hours flotilla/Thames Pageant.
3 hours concert/Rolf Harris being an embarrassing dad role model.
(Optional: 1 1/2 hours horse galloping about like idiots (this was on ITV so everyone forgot about it)).
9 hours of Service of Thanksgiving, Procession, waving, standing on a balcony, more waving.
(Optional: Additional 2 hour concert after the Procession? Or was that highlights? I'm not sure, but I had work to do by this point)…
… Basically a 16 hour version of The One Show! Or This Morning, if you watched ITV's amazing coverage.

Well, I DID watch the flotilla, right up to the end and
one thing led to another. Point being, I found this:
