Iwata has only gone and gave Her Majesty a Wii U with Pikmin and F-Zero for her Jubilee.

Call me stupid if this is stupid, but the Queen's coronation was in 1953, therefore isn't that 59 years ago? She hasn't been on the throne for 60 years.

/might be missing something

Her Coronation was in 53 but she became queen when her father died in 52.

The thing that always comes to my mind whenever succession comes up is this quote from Mort:

The only things known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

Congratulations on not being dead yet, ma'am.

It's fucking pathetic, the whole foul jamboree.

Plan on turning up to your nan's next birthday with the same message.

LB, you really are a massive geek.

My word Robbie Williams is just a hateful performer. He never quite seems comfortable with his trade. Like a semi drunk british legion performer gurning for approval.

Oh dear. I'm guessing the monitors in-ear aren't working properly or everyone's come down with an inner ear infection...

The BBC appear to be covering this wrong, and actually showing what people want to see. I thought the idea was to make reference to the spectacle but actually keep cutting away to inane z-list celebrity drivel. :confused:
