    False sympathy? Don't think its sympathy, she was 96 years old, served the country for 70 of those years and not many have a bad word to say about her... maybe a touch of respect, gratitude etc.. But even so, 4 billion is still more than any event from anywhere else could ever hope to pull in.. whatever the reason it shows what this country still means on the international stage and the Royal family (especially the queen) is at the forefront...

    Fair enough mate, we all have our different views... I can't be assed to Google what the royals generate and add to the UK economy... but I very much doubt, no in fact I know, there isn't another country on Earth that would get 4 billion tuning into a national event... But I get the counter arguments, and a lot leads to old feelings of "hate the rich" "up the poor"... I see it as short sighted, but certainly don't feel the need to "tug the forelock" or "brown nose" anyone...its just a view point

    Do you honestly think we can go backwards on communities that have been built up over 40 or 50 years mate? We have huge areas of major cities that have Asian or African communities completely deep rooted... I've little knowledge of Sweden, but I dont think they have these types of common in their cities until more recently...and it has been such a huge change in such a short space of time their is national support... If you look at the Midlands and Northern towns these have had Asian strong holds since I was a kid, London has huge black areas for a long long time... the new imm

    Mate, there's things that have been allowed to happen and now gone beyond the point of repair, you only need to look at the news and most of it has your head in your hands.... I dont see the Royals (in the main) as the bad guys... its an institution which is only a benefit to the country.. I'll wait for the "your a pedo supporter" and "they took our lands and all our money" type comments...but I'm pretty sure we would be a lesser nation without them..

    Im not saying you'd miss them mate, I'm saying do you think it would make the country better/richer if they were gone? Our cities have history, loads and loads of it ... and London maybe the most, the monarchy connects the dots, brings the history to life in some ways.. the architecture, art, writings, monuments etc etc .. they all mean something to someone.. so do we get rid of the royals and make Buckingham Palace an immigration hostel, Windsor Castle can be used as a drying out clinic... etc... I'll say again im not a royalist but I can see how important to our national pride and

    Does anyone honestly think we, as a nation, would be better off without the monarchy? Like if it all came to an end tomorrow, there would be a national divvy up of the land and cash and we'd all get a lump? I go back to an early comment i made about us continually moaning about lack of tradition, our values and history disappearing before our eyes...so the obvious thing to do is remove the biggest thing that attaches us to that history/tradition and actually brings money into our economy along the way... So whilst we have Muslims and Hindus ripping up the Midlands and Africans s
  9. f***ing crack me up sometimes mate... ingenious and bonkers all at the same time... "I cut a hole in the f***ing hedge"... ??.... of course you did...lol
  10. Eubank Snr wants it off, and said he'll have no involvement in it.. I get his point as well, they are fighting at a catch weight and ots purely for the pretend rivalry and the spectacle... I don't see it enhancing either career to be honest.. Chris snr, is concerned for his lad cutting to make weight...again I can see his point, he's lost a son recently and says he has severe concerns...
  11. Family get together at ours, so a bit of a spread.. 13 hour cooked brisket, slow cooked pork shoulder.. Home made coleslaw, stuffing, roasties... and a 2 day hangover! Lol

    What a ceremony! As a few have said, no one does pomp and ceremony like us, the whole thing was perfect imo and a real day to be proud to be British!

  19. My bday on the 2nd so looking at going up, dropped the hint to the Mrs last night...lol
  20. I still think this fight should've happened earlier, whoever and whatever the reasons I doubt it was the boxers themselves, as they gain the most from the biggest fights, Did we really need a trilogy of fights with Fury v Wilder? Somewhere amongst that an AJ fight should've been made.. Or even before, AJ held belts when Fury was coming back from his lay off..now he holds nothing.. But better late than never imo... Said it loads before but Fury in Wilder 2 and 3 changed his style and was more aggressive, better imo.. AJ since Ruiz 1 has changed his style for the worst,
  21. I enjoyed it as well mate... saw it recommended on this thread.. worth a watch without being massively memorable ?
