    I missed the live action, but will enjoy watching rerun segments.
    I think it's really cool.

      Thought Kerry chunked those over the fence?

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          At the moment touring in Ireland. Each and every pub we saw today had their tv on. Charles III was everywhere.
          Just sigh....

            Is that a good sigh, or a sad sigh?

                      I was in the UK but avoided the entire thing. In Manchester there aren’t that many folk who give a shit. There was a freaking wild party going in as we walked to the pub. Some very strong cigarettes were being smoked. I’m too old for that stuff. The first pub was charging over 6 pounds a pint, the second was charging 99 pence. Guess where we spent the evening.

                      I was only joking

                        Oh yeah, they’re arresting people for peacefully protesting. And I really do mean peaceful. For saying ‘Not My King’.

                        This place is really going downhill. Fucking Tories. One MP said ‘If people don’t like it they should leave’. I already did but he needs to remember who works for whom. Honestly what a bunch.

                              Even for a coronation, it felt like a bit much.

                              Multiple robes, multiple scepters / crosses / canes / orbs…

                              Wouldn’t the regalia have more impact if it were just one thing?

                              Then again, if you can’t go overboard with a coronation, when can you…

                                I'm still not seeing much excitement from normal British people. The BBC keeps telling me different. I saw a couple of houses with bunting.

                                Meh.

                                  I don't think Charles was nearly as exciting as Elizabeth. The country has been yawning at Charles for decades, and his reign will be relatively short.

                                        Did you see the concert from Windsor Castle?
                                        Highlight for me was
                                        Lang Lang playing a Steinway and then accompanying Nicole Scherzinger.
                                        Stunning performance of a Disney Mulan song, Reflection, they absolutely nailed it. Her voice at times reminding me of Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion

                                          Just turned it on (good timing).

                                          Charles looks like he's about to fall asleep.
