Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 10 February 2012 Posted 10 February 2012 I remember making our own union flags at school back in the day (1970s early 80s not sure) then standing outside in the rain on Anstey lane as ink ran down my flag waving arm as the queen did a drive by whilst waving. I hope it pours down again when she visits again so more kids can have this thrilling experience.

Asha Posted 10 February 2012 Posted 10 February 2012 I hoped it would be the band too. Would certainly be a lot more interesting, exciting and relevant to most Leicesterians. It always astounds me that those who are usually first and most passionate in exclaiming 'GOD SAVE THE QUEEN' tend to be more vocal atheists. I'm not intending to stereotype here, really , but I'm sure there's a correlation there! I'm not talking specifically about this thread either, or having a dig at those in the disposition of not 'believing' (which I appear to be gradually edging towards myself) but I find it particularly ironic - especially from those who hate on religion but then pray with such passion.

Mission Unlikely Promotion Posted 10 February 2012 Posted 10 February 2012 Great news I think GSTQ With you on that one Stu
acooling08 Posted 8 March 2012 Posted 8 March 2012 There must be a thread on this somewhere but I can't find it... Did anyone else see them today? I was in town anyway and thought I might as well stick around and see them. I got a good pic of the queen looking almost at me through the car window. Should have been on the other side of the road to get a nice closeup of Kate
The Year Of The Fox Posted 8 March 2012 Posted 8 March 2012 Can't believe theres not a thread either. Nearly had a day off for it but didn't. Was it busy? Most of Leicester probably don't know who the Queen is.

Most of Leicester probably don't know who the Queen is. Out of interest, how hard is it for you to be so incredibly stupid? I might be wrong, but I would think the queen is fairly well known - might be something to do with the monarchy being quite well established in this country, to the point where her face appears on money etc. and special royal occasions (like the ****ing wedding or jubilee) result in public holidays.

I bet you weren't moaning when you got a day off work because of the wedding

One might stipulate that 'most of Leicester don't know who the Queen is' might be a swipe at the largely indifferent minority contingent of or fair city? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here stu? Wouldn't want to start off with a misrepresentation of a simple matter of interpretations of words in a post.
sphericalfox Posted 8 March 2012 Posted 8 March 2012 She best have planted some schnit! I'll bump my planting thread if there's some new piccies.

Zingari Posted 8 March 2012 Posted 8 March 2012 You've been on the throne for 60 years now ma'am and we've organised some special treats for you . First up , a day out in Leicester !
lavrentis Posted 8 March 2012 Posted 8 March 2012 is this the start of a wish list? Looks like it's already been done if you look at the far left brick.
