The Coronation on TV.

[Peter Jason]

Very well done. And a sure candidate for a PVR. It's hard to
overestimate the effect of wide-screen 1080HD LED TVs showing this
sort of thing, and the progress in high dynamic range (HDR) video
cameras, and audio, and all the subsequent detail the gawking tourist
will never see.
Of course with the PVR the interminable marching scenes of soldiery
regiments could be truncated to tolerable levels.
I'm a sucker for pageantry, fashion and music and only found fault
with the experimental music squeezed out of the choirs, made up for
with the Handel anthem, and especially the one by William Boyce,
magnificently performed and clearly enjoyed by the choir judging by
facial expressions and general animations.

Fashion wise the ladies put on a good show except those with
flying-saucer hats. Clearly, he crowns were too big for the heads of
king & queen and looked ridiculous therefore. Overall a jolly good
show, and one hopes a DVD is forthcoming in the future.

Never watch shit like that anymore.

Apparantly cost more than $200M, stupid fucks.

That was the only thing the russians ever got right, shot
the lot and tossed the corpses down a disussed well.

So? The looming budget here will squander that and much more by doling
out taxpayers' money to the professional unemployed, the
dollar-stretched breeding pairs in their MacHouses, and a subsidy to
the power users, all while the whole Eastern Oz sits on an ocean of
coal of varying ranks!

Oh, how RUDE! The Russkis are still paying for that abominable crime.
Like the French Revolution the Russian one all ended up with the same
system, only with different names, faces and fashions.

Fraid so. Not that I am ever actually stupid enough
to watch any live TV anymore. The most I ever
watch now is the election eve count, sometimes.

>> Apparantly cost more than $200M, stupid fucks.

More than £200M in fact.

Much better things for the poms to spend that much money on.

Irrelevant to what the poms have just pissed against the wall.

Looks like it will be a surplus for the first time in 15 years.

And fuck all for the bludging parasites.

They got one hell of a boost in industrialisation
and were no longer involved in WW1

Sure, they also had a full civil war, but
that wasnt as bad for them as WW1

[Trevor Wilson]

**The entire Russian population was starved, killed and used as cannon
fodder for Stalin and others. It was a case of out of the frying pan and
into the fire for many Russians. The Russian Tsars were a horrible lot.
The Commies were, arguably, worse.

Either way, Russia was and still is, a basket case. Like the Japanese
Imperialists, Russia needs to be comprehensively destroyed and re-built.

That's why I said that shooting the Romanovs was
about the only thing the russians ever got right.

It wasnt a basket case industrially between the wars.

The west tried that post Gorby and the russians
completely fucked that up all over again.

[Peter Jason]

Hey! Whaddabout the Coronation? Was it a good show, or what?

[Rod Speed]

The poms should shoot all those royal parasites
and toss the corpses down some disused well too.

> Was it a good show, or what?

Nope, complete waste of £250M. Fortunately is the pom's money.

[Yosemite Sam]

yes it was.

I liked it, and so far as cost goes I got more entertainment from
it than I'll ever get from a football stadium in Tassie set to cost
much more than it did.

I didn't like the ABC turning it into a platform for aboriginals to
ramble on and on to an audience that's obviously not tuning in for
that, but I only lasted 5min of that before I turned it off and
waited for things to really start. It was much better once they
switched over to the BBC service.

And have them try to advertise to me? No thanks. Anyway the ABC
switched over to the BBC coverage once things really started, so it
was just a case of tuning in at the right time.

> or whatever your commercial tv station is.

I try to avoid all of them - too many ads.

Given there was no conscription here, one wonders what sort of
grooming went on to get the Anzacs to go there and die in droves.

[Rod Speed]

No grooming involved. With some it was just a opportunity for some
adventure and for others they were monstered into volunteering by
mostly women who sent them white feathers if they didnt etc.

[Ozix]

I have seen a collection of WWI posters, some of them were pretty
insidious suggesting young men were selfish layabouts if they didn't go
to the trenches. Besides that it was a different Australia. Many people
would have had a British grandparent, or the bloke across the road was
British. So those people were easily persuaded to do their duty.

Sure, but that's not grooming.

Not that easily with plenty of them.

That's not GROOMING.

Or parent. But Britain was not actually attacked.

Still not GROOMING.
