Gday Liz hows it going?
Hope its all good.
We have met, Sydney some thing or other ground, Mum bought me clean white shirt and shorts for the trip.
I was one of thousands cheering as you dashed past in that land rover.
Actually had a bottle of Shelly's Lemon aid but no opener.
So as you past me I and another kid had our backs turned, trying to open it to share.
Never forget the day after your dad died, yes day after, see just a little fella, we had got used to singing God save the King.
Mrs Rose heard us little kids laughing at the change, God save the Queen!
She ran down the isle,crying and screaming! knocking the kid at each lines end down as she went.
Gee I am pleased we are not like that now.
Liz do you mind? see I like being me, Australian.
So will dash down the isle here, to turn you off,every time.
See you gave Mr Howard a name or something, ok fair enough, Curr/Kerr got his reward.
What say you give Charlie a go?
enjoy ok?

<< What say you give Charlie a go? >>

Oh goodness no!

Whatever you do Liz, don’t give Big-Ears a go... pleeeease!! ( :>0

I’ve just watched the three-part series; ‘The Diamond Queen’. Fantastic stuff. I’ve never really been much of a royalist or monarchist, nor a republican, but I have always been a great admirer of Queen Elizabeth II… and now moreso than ever.

60 years and still going strong. How good is that??

I'm a Republican and would one day like to
see Australia grow into a mature independent
nation with its own Head of State. Having said
that, I have been watching all the pomp
and ceremony that's been going on in England to
mark Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. It has been
quite magnificent - and I wish her and her family
well. As for who will succeed her? I dare say it
will be Charles - according to the order of succession.
And that means we shall probably see Queen Camilla.
Yeah or Neigh? (Sorry, couldn't resist). Hopefully
by then we shall be a Republic.

I see the monarchy as an anachronism, a hang over from the days of British imperialism. I agree with Lexi "I'm a Republican and would one day like to see Australia grow into a mature independent
nation with its own Head of State."

My partner who is Maori, would also agree with Lexi
"I have been watching all the pomp
and ceremony that's been going on in England to
mark Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. It has been
quite magnificent - and I wish her and her family
well."
Spends $8 a week on mags just to read all about Kate, Wills, Harry etc etc Princess Mary, she's from the other mob. loves em' takes all kinds as I tell her.
I suppose Te is just a very forgiving person.

Dear Paul1405,

I also buy "The Australian Women's Weekly" and
"Woman's Day". Mainly now - for my mum who's in aged
care - and she passes it on to all the other ladies.
She also loves doing the cross-word puzzles and of course
catching up with all the gossip. And why not.

I've got to confess though, that when I was living overseas -
and I came across a copy of "The Australian Women's
Weekly," It brought tears to my eyes and heaps of nostalgia.
I hadn't realised just how homesick I was at that time.
That magazine is an Australian icon and to me at that time
represented home. There you go. I wouldn't dream of
ever knocking it. Just like Anzac bikies, or Waltzing Matilda.
Or Banjo Patterson or even Rolf Harris.

Bowral a rich mans England in Australia, my dad came from there, the son of Servants, serfs is another term.
Some of my childhood was blighted near there.
I learned in school to hate school.
MH had her servants there too pasty faced sons of the extremely rich,in Church of England collars not where near tight enough.
The quartered Que Cumber sandwich's, no salt bland like his words.
The constant talk of home? ENGLAND? even from folk who never saw it.
HM has only to put her purse on the floor at high tea and lackeys rush to remove the boringly ordinary person beside her,to another seat.
Charlie? do you know he won as a lad a peeing competition against west Australian stock men?
The object was to see who could achieve the highest mark,up the tree.
Now there is a monarch for Australia.
He on one side a Blue cattle dog on the other, both one leg in the air, what a symbol for our Parliament!
I proved my Republican thoughts on joining S.A.C.K..
Society To Assert the Constitution over Kerr, servant of HM, in 1975.
We took up collections to buy posh grog,to keep him in his usual state, DRUNK, did a great job.
Never the less he was not unusual,many in those top hats and tails washing down the quey Sanger , talking of home, blessing HM had opened the third bottle by noon.
Lexi watching it?
I dare not! drive me to drink it would.
Happy what ever Liz,but give Charlie a go, he can have a garden party out the back, show me how to turn the mulch and I may spare him a tomato sanga. tree is there but I bags standing on the 44 gallon drum.
