Who's looking forward to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee? And who's excited about the Olympics?

Not interested in the Jubilee - mildly impressed that EW has kept on trucking so consistently - but then she has never had an appraisal or had to live through a restructuring or round of redundancies has she
I seriously wonder whether all the red white and blue stuff in the shops is actually going to sell - but we shall see. Anyone being buying it???
No denying though that the monarch is the tip of a pyramid of wealth and privilege that has kept a huge amount of wealth in a small number of hands through the centuries, while a lot of other people struggled in poverty. If you look into history the ancestors of the aristocracy and the royals by back stabbing, front stabbing, plotting, forced marriage, exploitation of the weak, torture, slaughter of innocents etc etc. So I don't understand why people hold them in such high regard.
Have to confess though, I did enjoy the royal wedding, as a great show it was a credit to UK ltd.
I am getting excited about the olympics - I have a ticket for the first day of the athletics. And I adore athletics. So watching it on TV after being there on the first day will be special.

This might be it, Milly.
