And another thing. We need a new national anthem.

[Mad Doug Biker]

I came up with a few ideas, Tubular Bells from The Exorcist, the theme from Psycho, Adagio on Strings (or whatever its called) from Schindler's list, but, then, I had a brainwave (yes, it hurt, I get it) and realised that this, and ONLY this really summed up the nation!!:

There are various different versions to choose from, and best of all, just imagine it, it is of a speed that can be marched too, yes, just imagine, marching bands, troops, everyone up and down the country all marching to it!!

Sorry, didn't have time to read the whole thread to see if anyone else posted this:

I thought you already had a national anthem?

 

[SteCenturion]

Really, its clear it isn't me who needs a drug test, its the rest of you!!

Your trying very hard to convince us Doug, one doth protesteth too much.



I'm no fan of Opera, but Brian May is, remember him doing God save the Queen on a tower at the Palace ??

That was quite cool in a Jimmy Hendrix Star Spangled Banner kinda way, but nowhere near as good.

Then kept all the money and land for themselves, handing it down from generation to generation.

So for that reason we're all supposed to bow and scrape before them?

Exactly stephec.

The biggest thugs, thieves, rapist & murderers conquered so that we can all rejoice in their right Royalness.

I remember taking 2 weeks leave to avoid Princess Diana's visit to our unit.
A very nice, genuine person who did a lot of good for a lot of people granted, but even though I swore allegiance to get in I still didn't believe in Monarchy.

Let's have the original version:

One of the best versions I heard was played at a Red Cross concert in Geneva...

I was going to, but thought someone would tell me it was dull and boring....

If it wasn't for his religious nuttiness Oliver Cromwell would've been a top bloke.

Besides, if, say either the Moon, Mars or any other planets get colonised and become states, THIS will surely have to be used!!:

And don't try all that 'Oooh its too slow and boring bullcrap, roit??!!'

Iiiiit's not bad I suppose, but can

Nice sentiment..........

..........but you'd get a professional politician as head of state instead. I'd rather have someone who's role is so obviously idiotic, whose remit is indefensible, and whose power is absolute zero, than have another politician with a democratic mandate and thus with power. Pointless hereditary queenie, or President Blair? Hmmmmmm, that's not that difficult a choice.

Your point is a valid one but the whole monarchy thing just sticks in my craw like cold sick. Just the notion that there is a class of people who by dint of birth are better than everybody else is abhorrent to me.

Did he write it when he was still drumming for The Police?

If you want to live in a republic , get a ferry at dover and shut the door on your way out, and hands off our national anthem , its what this country will always be "Great"
.
And all those that bleat on about "let Prince William be the next king not Charles" go do things to your self, tradition is not for cheap change.

Also Mr Dodds (If that really is your name) I very much resent you telling me to leave the country. If you feel strongly enough about this you are more than welcome to come to Leicester where we can meet up and you can have your very best try at making me leave the country. If you feel disinclined to do this then kindly keep your ad hominem (Yes folks, I said it) to yourself. If otherwise I'll pm you my number and you can ring me when you get here. Ok with you?
My quibble was not with you but the stinking, rancid, effluence that calls it'self royalty. Who, incidentally, could not care less about you. You do know this, right?

If however your comments were a mere parody of a jingoistic buffoon please disregard all of the above and forgive my failing sense of humour. Toodle pip.
