Son and daughters family want to visit me this afternoon for Fathers Day . Would it be rude of me to tell them not to arrive between 2 & 4 pm?

Hell no, if they know you are they should know. Tell them they get 10 minutes at halftime.

 

[Quigs]

Do they know all the swear words? This afternoon could be a big learning curve for them.

Anyone go to Costco they have $100 kayo gift cards for $75

 

[Quigs]

Wow .... did the Queen die?

Honestly I can understand the grief and all that stuff with the poor 95 year old Queen passing a few days ago but shit.... how long do we have to have saturation coverage of the whole show.

It is on every bloody station and radio.

Crikey I like to watch aljazera English World News and it is still all over that.

You never hear me whinging but sheeze enough is enough.

10 days until she is in the ground.

 

[shadowboxer]

We get a public holiday, whilst the politicians get what like 10 days? Respect

 

[Quigs]

10 more days, your you're youse have got to be f**king joking.

How many smashed TVs will it take to make it all go away.

 

[BatteredFlake]

They crap on about cost of becoming a republic but apparently all this cost is OK ? f**king hypocritical entitled a**eholes

 

[Mr Angry]

Prefer Moa?

Perhaps Trump?

How would you change our system?

After 10 days....

The Royal decay has finally begun. The King consort has announced from Buckingham Palace that 'Er Majesty the Queen has begun the steady decline into decomposition. The British Royal Tattoo will now march over the Royal gravesite to the tune of Roll Over Lay Down by a 70's composer Alan Lancaster (Also currently decomposing)

 

[Quigs]

Glued to the Royal TV coverage this morning, watching and counting every drop of rain that fell on the roof of the hearse as it drove through the streets of London I was taken aback by one or as it was in this case a couple who were interviewed and did reveal to the billions watching that they were married in the same spot where the Queens coffin had actually laid in state in Scotland.

It was riveting news.

Footnote: I can confirm that I am not currently decomposing but the stench of death hangs over moi.

Perhaps Trump?

Moa? I looked it up .1. "Extinct flightless bird, similar to Emu "
2. minutes of Angle .... referring to trajectory of a bullet and its parabolic route from gun to target. Minutes being measurement of angle as in 360 degrees on clock face .
3" Moment of alwaysness" or some such thing, catch phrase from Korean Pop Band.

Trump ? even more confusing. You think the Monarchy saves us from Trump ,or Biden ? Didnt save us from , Mcmahon, Sneddon, Abbot, or Barnaby or Honest John Howard who sold country out to China for sake of looking like a responsible govt running the economy. You think they are better than Trump or Biden? I just love the puerile "monarchy saves us from being like America "argument. We are different to America. Lived in Both Places, Relatives of both Nationalities. Gave it great deal of thought over the years and tried my best to be objective about it. Read a lot of books trying to understand it all. I could carry on ad nauseum about it . Suffice to say the present "Systems" as you call it got more to do with influences of Perfidious Albion, Cecil Rhodes , his organisation and influence on Media , Business, Banking and undermining US constitution, Slavery, (source of our Dear Monarchs wealth, ) Anyway all of it is available information in History books to anyone who actually wants to understand a bit more.

How would I change system ? I would Have a bill of rights that enshrined individual personal rights and responsibilities of all citizens, rather than the "rule of Law "with Entitled Monarch at the head, that ensures only the wealthy can afford to fight for justice in higher courts and gives "justification "to inherited entitlement. Get rid of British Monarch which only leads to resentment and division.

 

[Quigs]

As Max said the the Chief..... "I know that"

 

[Mr Angry]

Lot to unpack there.

I will go with Australia, due to great rocks in the ground is a prosperous coastal Nation.

We have a Westminster democracy is that system of government also known as responsible government and parliamentary government in which people do not directly elect their government but leave it to the elected legislature to install, supervise, and remove the government.

This is how we have worked since federation. Dispute a money bill, GG and Monarch call an election.

I could go to town with that , but its not the time or place to be arguing about ppls perceptions through yrs of British Empire dogma. After all its a sports forum where we try to escape all that. You are a great personality on here , respected for your acheivements in your field of expertise etc . So i dont want to take it any further . No point.
