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,

sparkling Shock - watch it if you want to - DCs can watch Harry Bloody Potter anytime.

Personally I am forcing entire family to watch - crap or not its not something that happens every day, is it?

YANBU to expect good coverage but have some Wine and toast her maj Crown.

Ben Fogle. Squeeeee!!!!

I wish the bloke from Come Dine with Me was doing the commentary! We tried Sky, and frankly we thought it was worse!

CrispyCod · 03/06/2012 15:34

sparkling I was also wondering about this 'big moment'. Perhaps the royals have rehearsed a turn for us!

But as DPs dads boat is in with the rowers we wanted to see the oars raised, not sodding Ben Fogle

And Kate - a red dress on a red barge. I can't see you.

But Ben does look good :)

I think the Queen looks cold.

Is she going to sit on the throne or what?

DuelingFanjo · 03/06/2012 15:35

I liked the artists.

Sparklingbunting · 03/06/2012 15:35

Have we ever seen this boat before?

I hope John Barrowman doesn't get his knob out.

DuelingFanjo · 03/06/2012 15:35

YANBU. DH has just gone to bed! I have been looking forward to it all week and am sorely disappointed. No one seems to know anything about the boats.

CrispyCod · 03/06/2012 15:36

They should have made it with heating in the seats!

RabidAnchovy · 03/06/2012 15:37

Poor Queen looks cold

Where are they all going?

TheSurgeonsMate · 03/06/2012 15:37

They've just basically missed out the little ships!Shock

VictoriaWould · 03/06/2012 15:38

I'm watching out for my Dad, but he's in the last but one section. I am bored waiting. How longs it going to go on for?

Sparklingbunting · 03/06/2012 15:38

Oh no they are shooting at her now. Sad

careergirl · 03/06/2012 15:38

its not half as good as I thought it would be.

CrispyCod · 03/06/2012 15:39

Do you think they'd mind if tagged along in my dingy?

frasersmummy · 03/06/2012 15:39

Mrsjay · 03/06/2012 15:39

I think i will watch the Highlights later and let DD2 finish watching MIB

Sparklingbunting · 03/06/2012 15:39

They could brighten things up with the Hawaii 5-0 music or something.

enimmead · 03/06/2012 15:39

She should be sat on the throne with a blanket over her.

RabidAnchovy · 03/06/2012 15:40

We were going to go up in to town and watch, but I thought we would see more on the TV, wish we had just gone in now
