Yep, it´s known to happen, but there can only be one common sense. Sorry for that.

Now you're just getting off topic and making huge assumptions on others. I'm not getting in a debate about common sense

Queen who?

 

The writer doesn't even once mention her name. 

 

Queen Madge? Queen of the Nile? Queen Barbie? Queen Mercedes? Who?

It is obvious to even the surliest and most hidebound that  you cannot have read anything of this thread or the international news recently apart from the headline and as such I wonder what made you comment.

 

It is probably best that you go back into the cave you inhabit and remain a recluse for the benefit of Her Majesty (of the UK etc. etc in case you have not worked it out yet!) and the rest of this forum.

 

PS;  If you were trying to be sarcastic and not just a troll I suggest the addition of an emoji next time!

Let's face it. Nobody does these occasions quite like The British.

 

What a reign. What an image.

 

Marvellous.

How many Queens are celebrating being 70 years as Queen, this week ?

There's only one 

I'm a British Citizen & i didnt watch anything on the tv, not one thing - Didn't celebrate anything & to be perfectly honest, not in the slightest bit interested in the British Monarchy or Parliament - I'm a bit of an anti establishment kind of guy..

Thai expats!.??? Is wrong.

British expats in Thailand!

Is correct.

Thai expats live and work outside  of Thailand for example in the  Gulf.

The majority  of expats  in the world are Asian.

Are you donating any of your income to the quote " poor in places such as Luton, Preston, Manchester etc etc whom are more concerned as to how they were going to pay for food for their kids rather than a glorified pi*****p for those borne with a silver spoon in their mouths"?

 

From the bits and pieces that I have seen have spent their own time and money to having a great time both up in London, Cardiff, Edinborough, Belfast and the many thousands of street parties for children all over the UK.

 

It happens once every 70 years that a monarch is on the throne and this is the first one in the world. I know that there will never be another one in my lifetime (I am 78) and I am not sure if many people in the world will be alive to see another.

"this is the first one in the world"

 

HM is currently the third longest reigning monarch in history.

 

In 6 days, if she survives that long, she will have taken second place from King Bhumibol.

 

Number one at the moment is Louis XIV of France, at 72 years and 110 days.

 

Monarchs of states that were "not internationally sovereign for most of their reign":

 

No 1 is King Sobhuza II of Swaziland, at 82 years 254 days.

The two you mention above QE11 were both children when they acceeded and  both had regents until they became of age unlike HM QE11 who ascended the throne in her own right at 25. 

 

She is the longest serving Monarch in her own right!

Point taken however a good media report who surely mention her name and it would be mentioned out of basic respect. 

Absolutely no comment.

Thai Expats

Are there many Thai expats in Thailand?  It looks more like foreign expats and their Thai partners. ????

Just look at the state of both Russia and France now.

 

Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea.

And the whole 4 day UK event was a damning example that millions of pounds can be wasted to invite those to take part who are generally wealthy whilst the poor in places such as Luton, Preston, Manchester etc etc whom are more concerned as to how they were going to pay for food for their kids rather than a glorified pi*****p for those borne with a silver spoon in their mouths. Utterly sick and and yet another disgraceful example as to how human beings look down on the poor

People from all walks of life and varying social backgrounds were seen to be celebrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in the UK. People from housing estates in some of the UK’s poorest areas were at the forefront of those celebrations, funding their own parties as best they could.

 

You seem to be a rather miserable and mean spirited human being …. my condolences to you.

Do we see any other people from any other country make such big celebrations in a foreign country for the royal family in the country they chose to leave? No, and it´s a reason for that. It´s called common sense.

No. It’s called Minor Insignificant Royal Families. ????????

 

Many reasons why UK is the coolest most admired most influential most achieving country in history. Queen just one of hundreds of those “ reasons to be cheerful” with UK ????????
