It's today, Tuesday
I love the pageantry that we have with our royals, I loved all three jubilees The Queen has had.
It's funny that Dutch Queen Beatrix is abdicating as her mother did exactly the same. Beatrix seems a very nice lady, her son who's the new king sounds like a bit of a playboy lol, but I think its nicer to have coronations and ceremonies like this than what the Americans do - a swearing in followed by a long political speech that not everyone will agree with.
The Dutch coronation is live on YouTube, it'll probably be in Dutch commentary so I won't understand it, but I'll be interested to see how they do it. April 30 is their national day, I've been on holiday in Amsterdam when they've celebrated it and they have a lot of fun

no queen is down to earth
Ditto....should we be interested...is it going to make a difference to our lives ?
No it won't, obviously, it probably won't even make much difference to the Dutch, but I suppose its nice if you like royal ceremonies etc.
It gives them a chance to celebrate their country like we did with ours last year
I take it then that the Dutch healthcare system private and public is crap otherwise her son would be receiving care in Amsterdam.
Four first class flights plus accommodation for her and her flunkies must be costing the dutch taxpayer some wonga.

Wtf were they thinking?
In other words - get stoned out of their lids...
Incidently...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Friso_of_Orange-Nassau
Suppose so...still not interested ..BTW wasn`t interested in last years bash either
Can't imagine Her Maj telling the nation that Gary Barlow's song for the Jubileee was a load of old tripe, though obviously that's what she would have thought.............
I'm not particularly interested in the Coronation though all my views on the Dutch people are positive..............
They were stoned when the composed that saccharine shyte surely,:eek:
Thats GBH of the earholes.
Thing is, it was an Englishman from Eastleigh that wrote it!
My favourite female singer is Dutch though, but mainly sings in English, here is part of a song in her native tongue:

I really liked Gary Barlow's song
The Dutch one seems to be imitating it a bit but the rap is horrible! I don't like rap much anyway, but when someone like Jay Z is doing it, at least it sounds authentic, rapping any other language or accent than American English just sounds wrong to me lol
Prince Friso and his family live in London. He has lived and worked in the UK for years.
One of my favourite bands is Dutch & they sing in Dutch
Heidevolk - Een Nieuw Begin
drugs and sex (with not much rock and roll!)
I liked it as well.............but I'm sure the Queen probably thinks all pop music is shite.............
Stiil, I can't imagine her saying it like the Dutch Prince has.............
what about the great Art...........Rembrandt, Hals, Vermeer etc
great footballers from Cryuff to RvP
err, now I'm struggling a bit................:D
