Jubilee - celebrate, ignore or bemoan?

[Deleted member 28]

Shep, what’s the title of this thread?

It's certainly not ' what does Glasgow Council think of the Jubilee '.

The High Street is closed this week. Union jacks on every building. There's a disco there from a lorry trailer tonight. It has everything you could want: The Quo, Y-MCA, line dancing (not all at once).
We were chatting on an anti-monarchist theme with our local restaurant owner after a meal this evening (it was a quiet night for him because of the celebrations)

It's not being touted as a Jubbly event, but there's a Jazz festival in Sidders this weekend.

A couple of friends went down (by bike of course) and said there was some half decent music on offer

Might be worth a look .

So whose opinion on the jubilee is important then??

Only the people in your area?

Would be funny.

If not so tragic 🙁

We've seen some good stuff there in the past, and some not so good. The danger is of running into a flock of morris dancers prancing & jangling (I suppose it's not in the same league as Spanish bull-running).

This is more Jazz, and blues, than the usual folk apparently.


I think it's pretty much a Morris free zone..

But I'm sure there's a fair chance of running into a lot of bunting.. The roundtable or whoever, will have got their order in early..

Tbh the programme looks quite good...

Might even try to get down there later if 'things and stuff' allow..

It’s ‘what is anyone’s reaction to the jubilee - celebrate, ignore or bemoan?’

GCC is ignoring it and I’m pleased they’re not wasting any cash on it. Why should that bother you when you’re forever reminding us that you don’t care what happens in the world if it doesn’t affect you?

Turns out you do though, eh?

Passing through central station there was one fenced off 'Jubilee dining' exhibit, that everyone seemed to be studiously ignoring.. Otherwise nada, around town that I could see.

Apparently Edinburgh has quite a bit going on, but no great surprise there.

Only the sad looking blokes in the bar of The Swan.

Must be another 'Swan'..

The blokes in ours seem rather cheery on the whole, might even nip in for a pint later..

I suspect that's less of a tourist trap. Might get over to Kennaway later.

The afternoon session was quite 'nice'
in that noodly jazz way that they do .

Dooby doo.

And the Summathis is very fresh 👍🏼

They were very good. Had an ice-cream and a wander before we headed home.
