    Queen's ear plugs?

    OK, so here I go for the second, no, third attempt.


    Jubilee concert is on and SWMBO is watching. I reared my head when the Queen was announced. Did anyone else notice that she appears to have yellow B&Q type foam earplugs fitted to both ears.

    Now, does this mean that the concert will be REALLY loud or that she caught a chill in them yesterday?

    Submariners seldom cheat, and NEVER lie!

    Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?

    Age and treachery will always overcome youth and fitness!

    from the standard of singing, without autotune being available, it was to block out the 'music' completely.

    If that's the standard of talent they can now produce, there are a number of 'stars' who really should call it a day

    \but did you see the legend that is .......Rolf Harris?
    Caught unawares and asked to sing acapella, then rushed off stage by the hugely funny Lenny Henry (incidentally, why the fuck was he there? Does advertising hotel chains make you an automatic choice for such a prestigious event?)

    A great concert, Madness were brill. Couldn't understand why Jimmy Carr was there, Cheryl Coles dress looked like she was being swallowed by a whale.
    Fitting tribute from Charles, the Queen seemed quite emotional.
    Good choice of my towney Robbie Williams to open the show.
    The NHS.... Hitting the targets but missing the point......

    Jeremy Clarkson is a tosser and so is Richard Littlejohn

    Elton John's jacket was just superb... I had to put sunglasses on in my lounge!

    Yes - and I think he was one of the few stars that actually knew who they were there for. Rolf is a gentleman in real life from the stories from people who have met him.

    In fairness he wasn't the only unfunny one there - Rob Bryant, Lee Mack and Jimmy Carr were majorly cring worthy

    I thought Prince Charles speech about them was very apt.

    I thought when Prince Charles was speaking she was going to burst into tears.
