Well if you want to have a share in our royalty all you have to do is get rid of your President and pay the back tax on that tea that got ruined and rejoin our empire. Oh by the way you do not have to give up on drinking coffee.

Peter, I hope you are going to be well enough to make to the Surrey Vasculitis UK gathering.

I just don't know how an 86 year old and a 90 year old stood for 4.1/2 hours in the cold and damp on the Thames on that boat without sitting down. I can't do that for 1/2 hour on a good day !!

I often think we Brits are bad at the patriotic thing, then we go and do something like the Jubilee and then relise we do love our country. As for the standing, that is the main reason that I decided to watch it on tv, they are not bad for a couple of oap's.

and then Elton John.......he obviously borrowed Cliff's teeth after Cliff was finished with them.....yep, they are getting old.
I noticed that and I also thought Pual McCartney had a few problems as well, I did wonder how much the cold air might not be helping their vocal chords.
