Very well done.
Never watch shit like that anymore.
Apparantly cost more than $200M, stupid fucks.
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.
That was the only thing the russians ever got right, shot
the lot and tossed the corpses down a disussed well.

Uh-huh. And just how did things get better for Russians?
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

The entire Russian population was starved, killed and used as cannon
fodder for Stalin and others.
That's why I said that shooting the Romanovs was
about the only thing the russians ever got right.
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.
It wasnt a basket case industrially between the wars.
Like the Japanese Imperialists, Russia needs to be comprehensively
destroyed and re-built.

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

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

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.
