@Mik said in The Queen's Speech: Isn't that the truth. The framing is what is so pertinent to the times. Just a decade off of WW2, the dawn of the atomic age, television, transistors, the first computers...A speech made in rapidly changing times...And it shows how good she was at adapting to change, while still holding on to the best of the old ways and making the UK's monarchy relevant. I think her second vision of the future occurred after Diana's death. Just as this Christmas Speech helped to personify the Queen and give people just a glimpse of her drawing room, I think she saw the outpouring of public sympathy after Diana's death and knew the monarchy would have to open up a bit more and let them become more relatable as people to her subjects.. Her genius is in knowing just how much to do...Too little and the Royals are no better off. Too much, and you have what we have with Harry today - one of the most popular Royals at one time, Harry has dissolved into a pussy-whipped B-list celebrity. Either excess leads to a severe weakening of the monarchy.

And they did another at 9:03.

@Renauda said in Songwriting: The melody for Get Back was originally used in a Beatle song called No Pakistanis. That song was a political satire or attack against Enoch Powell and others in the UK who opposed immigration of non white colonials. My son actually found a copy of the tune on the internet that Beatles did as an outtake during, either the White Album or Abbey Road sessions. The chorus section when they sing “Get back, Get back, Get back to where you once belonged” was in the original as it referred to coloured colonials going back to their place of birth. Needless to say it never made it to vinyl in its original form. What a story! I imagine there's tons of tales like that about Beatles' songs.

So young lol. Happy Birthday

@Mik said in Mighty odd, those Brits: no one knows quite how it came to be. Beekeepers girlfriend: You tell her, tell her tonight! Beekeeper's wife [shouting]: Who are you talking to out there? Beekeeper: Just the bees my ladybird, just the bees. I'm giving them the latest news.

@Klaus said in Trump Speaks: I have a hard time imagining that the Queen was very fond of Trump, though. [image: 1662839573169-da1abd76-23c4-4128-9fa2-38f818952668-image.png]

Our rating: False Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Queen Elizabeth II was shot dead in Detroit. The queen had been suffering health issues and died peacefully in Scotland. Her last visit to the U.S. was in 2007, and no news reports indicate she visited Detroit. It's hard to believe that MSN would fact check it.

Good stuff.

@Jolly said in The Purge: around sharp objects. Or, in the case of Fauxahontas, dull ones either.

@Jolly Nothing bad about having the reputation of being an asshole - although I would think it’s better to be thought of as a son of a bitch. All the same though I reckon it puts you and I and, of course, Horace, all in good company together.

Just in time for the Midterms!
