Men in Tights

Things are getting busy in the studio. it's always the same before Christmas, things to be done, deadlines to meet, and meetings about meetings.

I was having a rant today, as is my want, about the State Opening of Parliament. Now tell me what's all that about?

A geezer in tights, banging on the door asking to be let in. While HRH hangs about. I was hoping that someone would open the door and tell her to bugger off and get back to her council house in The Mall!

Are we supposed to be on awe of all this nonsense. Ancient ceremony my bahooky, it's all a con, written in 1872 to impress the workers and reinforce our 'love' of the monarch. Pah!

Give me an elected President any day.
