To think the BBC coverage of the flotilla is total crap

[RabidAnchovy]

They really are making a pigs ear of it.

I want to see the boats (try and spot DPs dads boat)
not listen to all the crap from this presenter and that presenter and bloody poems,

even

Yep I enjoyed it too although agree YANBU about the likes of Anneka who was toe curling

Oh whoopppeee Barry Garlow. Can't wait.

Are people camping out for their front row spot yet?

Gary fucking Tory Barlow? Great.

I will watch if Prince Harry promises to play the tambourine/

Not my idea of a good line up tbh but then i'm not the guest of honour.

glass of gin and tonic now, I think.

But Anneka and the weird painter on the bridge and all the others who just wanted to be involved are what makes this country so great. We should embrace the toe curling and the weird and strange cos it is only this country where it would happen.

I cant wait to see what we do now for the opening of the olympics

Can anyone recommend a good DVD?

The only thing Queenie was interested in about the concert when she talked to Barry was how long they'll take removing the stage and how all the royal bedrooms are at the front of the palace...

I have to admit it is much more fun watching these things with a live feed like this. It just makes the whole thing more entertaining.

Wonder if the news will be any better

Wills hasn't got his arm round Kate as he isn't allowed to in uniform.

Sorry I thought you should be saying:

I have to admit it is much more fun watching these things with a live feed like this. It the only thing that makes the thing more entertaining.

sorry should have removed the word more too.

The news is showing much better footage,

Edward and Sophie were voted out when the Middletons were brought in.

I thought I saw Sophie. Maybe it was the nanny's day off and Edward stayed at home with the children

Sophie and Edward are both there.
Sophie was on main boat with Queen
Edward was on Royal National Lifeboat Institution Vessel

Where were Andrew and Anne?

Sorry - forghet that - they were both together on the other boat
