The Queen

Roger Mellie Man on the Telly

Does anyone still watch her 3pm Christmas broadcast? She's been doing it for 60 years!

We watch her every year. Love the way she says 'fire' - 'faaawr'.

For clarity I'm talking about Queen Elizabeth II, 'Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England'.

Usually you have to pay extra for that kind of action, Cotton

Wait, I thought the Queen was E.T.?

She’s good for her age though. Her father and I think his father were on the radio. Why don’t we have something similar with Michael D?

Why would I watch the speech of the head of a foreign state? I’d rather watch Linda Martin sing Get Lucky.

You might want to edit your title. Which queen are you talking about?

donegaLroad

I didn't see it this year, did she make any reference to Brexit? She is a Brexiter, it was revealed.

She usually does that through her gob and calls it entertainment.

I stopped watching when she stopped playing the classics and only played the material off her new albums (which is sh1te btw).

Nice trolling, OP.

Your best bet is Board's resident unionists but they seem to have gone missing since the Brexit embarrassment.

Thanks for the clarity
Much appreciated

BorneTobyWilde

I always watch. When the Manchester attack happened it was her there in the hospital with victims, she had to lead the way for others then to follow. Her message is never political. It's always her message to spread kindness to others .

RTE one, the late late show at least once a year.

I watched it. She's 90 something and is the head of an institution stretching back about a 1000 years.

I'm completely secure in my republicanism.*

Have always been a great admirer of Queen Elizabeth. She's had a great reign.

I'd worry about of the direction of the family after her Majesty goes. Charles and William are good men but they don't come across as leader types to me.

tomwaterford

Have never seen it.....or purposely avoided it either.....but we only had the rte channels until few years ago



Deosnt strike me as being something I'd be interested in tbh (same geos for cooking programmes)

So much hate for the queen but the fact is ireland need UK,UK don’t need ireland

British, have you seen the nationality of the players on those teams. British is a bit of a stretch. :pac:

It is a pity Philip doesn't give an alternative message.

Hello, there!!! Haven't gone missing at all. We tend to take a break on days like this spend some time with our families.

It just wouldn't be Christmas without one. The posters in questions are probably bored silly because "we" are not playing until 17:30 and 15:00 respectively, as you noted above.

He is 96. Most people don't at that age.

I'm always amazed how the head of state of a foreign country making an address to her subjects on a foreign television channel can annoy anybody in this country who is free to watch RTE all day long if they wish.

That’s just a message released like any other statement
Should he not appear on the TV wishing the citizens the compliments of the season?

Her making the speech isn't the problem, it's irish people watching it. Should be hanging their heads for even turning it on.

As long as you watch nothing else but TG4 yourself.

I don't get why anyone British would watch it but I guess it's a curiosity. Nobody really cares what she's saying but that someone that's really irrelevant still gets to have an annual speech listened to is a bit mad.

But hanging their heads for turning it on? Stop ta fúck.

Why? Jayzus I wouldn't loose any sleep over it man. They ain't loosing any over you. You may as well be worried about the x factor not getting another season next year. It's not going to effect your life in any way shape or form. The notion of a Royal family is completely redundant in today's age. Kings and Queens, they only exist because of a title from hundreds of years ago that deemed that they be the head of a combat army. That means when combat occured, they were at the front line leading the charge. They did do that but that does not exist anymore. They are celebrities now. They don't lead nothing except a shiny image.
It is no accident that most of the modern European Royal houses still left are marrying glamorous looking people. Celebrities. That's been going on since Grace Kelly. But the age of celebrity is also doomed. The 20th Century overloaded on it and now appears dated and tired. And it is. The age of paying good looking people vast amounts of money to do nothing will not be able to continue in a society and age where the money and the resources are running out.

This always amuses me. No she would be Mountbatten....married women of her generation take their husbands name.

that would be true, except for the queen. Etiquette dictates that she doesn’t take her husband’s surname. IIRC, her husband takes her name.

They're an interesting family but the speech isn't to my tastes.

No they have no surnames at all as royalty, none of them do.
They can use the name of their fathers title if they want so William and Harry used Wales in the army and George uses Cambridge for playschool.


The point I was making is people think it's smart to call her Saxe-Coburg even though their name was legally changed.
If she or any royals had a surname it would be her husbands not her fathers anyway.
