Tyce isn't here so maybe we can agree that he's thick. Maybe 'short-sighted' is more diplomatic. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Hi all. I was going to ask for your forgiveness, because I am watching the coronation, not Trial, today - but it looks as though you are sort of watching it also. And I believe that it is common knowledge that Princess Anne travelled to the coronation on a special gilded Broomstick of State. Personally, I was rather taken by her fetching bicorne hat. Hi AnneA. We are doing double-watches. I'm glad you noticed PA's hat. I thought she looked terribly Hogwarts. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I love the green that Princess Anne's wearing.

In the Abbey I'm annoyed that no-one wears a long dress anymore. No sense of occasion. Meanwhile, Servalan knows to be wearing her best military whites for a court-martial. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

All the people bowing and curtseying reminds me of Aragorn's coronation in the Return of the King. |

I don't feel sorry for Travis at all, despite what R&B say.

The Latin pronunciation of this Vivat Regina is truly - appalling, as Camilla's husband might say. I suppose that that is old fashioned English public school Latin, but it is ghastly. |

Servalan would look good in a tiara. Unfortunately, it might be difficult to secure one on such short hair.

Charles is saying "What is The Host?" You've an awful lot of this service to get through before we get to the communion, love. Meaning Charles, not you, of course! Edited by AnneArthur on 06-05-2023 10:11 |

One wonderful thing in it is to be able to see the workings of tiaras. They are anything like the sort of thing you get in costume shops or wedding shops. They have quite complicated frames inside for attaching to hair and heads. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I wonder how much of this people from centuries ago would recognise. (The coronation, not Thalia & co).

Aaarrgh, one thing I really hate is "data" being used as singular. Datum, data, the end.

I have a little commemorative brooch from the last coronation. It's of the anointing spoon. That's 12th century. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Travisina isn't here either, so I'll give her apologies. Not sure what she's up to but it will involve running errands for other people. She does a lot of that.

There was that important 17th century interlude from which point English moved from Middle to Early Modern. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Interesting that the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland says 'sir' and not 'sire'. Slightly cutting him down to size. |

There was that important 17th century interlude from which point English moved from Middle to Early Modern. The substance has changed a lot too, though. Swearing to obey the laws (made by parliaments) was a very contentious thing in the fourteenth century, and kings agreed to do it with great reluctance. |
