what we all doing for jubilee celebrations

[Part time cyclist]

I am going to get up early bang out a few miles on my bike before the festivities start and the jubilee Barbeque

I'm working Saturday & Sunday and plan on spending Monday and Tuesday patriotically watching the Aston Martin Owners Club racing at Brands Hatch.

There may be a nod to the Jubilee in my choice of jersey for the commute however: an earlier version of one of these.

Working Sunday & Monday day shift (12 hrs) which I wouldn't mind ordinarily, but we're in the middle of an outage and the plant is as dead as a dead thing, so we could just lock the door and leave it for a day, couldn't we?

Friday: weep bitter tears of regret for not signing up for Whitstable
Saturday: fettle Lady slowmotions bike, and pootle down to Hammersmith or wherever for "The Mustering" in the evening. Have friends round for supper at home
Sunday: Go in search of a glimpse of barge activity on the Thames. Absolutely no idea where to see it from. I was horrified to learn just now that the whole of Battersea Park is a "sold out ticket event". I'm hoping that two wheels give us a level of mobility that might work. I'm sure that I'm not alone.
Monday and Tuesday: no idea.

Whatever you are doing, I hope you all have a lot of fun.

I think that anyone who does not support Royalty yet takes the holiday is a total hypocrit, bit like taking the day off for every religious holiday for whatever religion it may apply to.

Do your bit for your country if you do not want to celebrate an amazing woman then go to work. After all, that is what she will be doing.

So does everyone have to be an orthodox Christian to celebrate Christmas and Easter then, in your opinion?

I'm just treating it as an ordinary bank holiday, and if you have a problem with that, tough.

running a 10k on Sunday...hoping for a nice respectable time...

Best keep your shorts on then.

I have never felt any need to 'do my bit for my country' - IMO that's tribal nonsense best left in the kindergarten.

I'm a firm supporter of Her Maj, rather less so of the institution. But what I can't put up with is wall to wall gurning sycophantic journalists, so I shall be going to Germany for the week with my bike. In fact closer to the ancestral home of the House of Windsor than all you flag-waggers.

So you think people should work even though they won't be paid, and their office is probably closed?

I shall be avoiding the last refuge of the scoundrel, and take my daughter out in the bike trailer.

We are being kicked out of work at 3pm on Friday because of the Jubilee apparently.
Opportunity for a nice long ride home through the countryside .
