No. How many times?

I have been a Brazil supporter since 1970. Followed them through thick and thin. Still recovering from Pele's retirement.
So more like a follower of Brazil rather than a supporter !

Back from Italy, finally sit down to watch some telly, and am confronted by this awful concert. They must really hate her to have this blaring outside her window.

While it's gratifying for some, I'm sure, to know ones place and to be happy in it, I think you'll find most animal species hierarchies are based on merit rather than simply the accident of birth.

I don't think anyone is automatically better than me, or worthy of cash, merely as an accident of birth. That's just bizarre.
That’s literally how life works. It’s an accident of birth to be born in Africa or the son or daughter of a billionaire. The way I look at it, I was lucky enough to be born in England to parents that were solvent. I am a glass half full person and thank the lucky stars I was not born in poverty in Eritrea. I try and live life with a smile on my face on that basis. The left (not saying that’s you) do the opposite and tend to look up and then get envious and live life somewhat miserably.
The royal family genuinely believe they have magical blood which makes them special. That's different to mere circumstance, luck or chance.

For a moment in that sketch, I thought we were about to see Paddington Bear squirt his cream over the Queen's face. They obviously settled for the character played by Simon Farnaby getting the facial and thought, "best stop there."

She ain't been seen for a couple of days, has the excitement been too much for her? Who will get custody of the corgis must be top priority.

A brilliant four days, a major feat of planning and execution, and good to see the Queen appearing on the balcony this evening, albeit briefly.

Unlikely we will see anything on this scale for many years.
