Just thought I'd start a separate thread for those who, as AFKA has mentioned, have an aversion/have been asked to take a back seat.

I'll be playing cricket, theoretically, but I imagine it'll piss it down - so instead I'll be standing around muttering not-so-knowledgeably about clouds "just missing us" and weather fronts, until the game is called off, and then go drink in the clubhouse. Or whatever.

How about you?

    I'll be at cricket too - in Canterbury. Long way to go to watch the players ducking the showers only for the game to eventually be called off at 5.00pm

    Going to an exhibition, Mike Nelson: Extinction Beckons.

    Then probably watching Frankie Boyles, ‘End of the Monarchy’ on catch up Chanel 4 and hoping beyond hope it’s true.

    Walking the dog. Playing music. Making curry. Singing the red flag. Sorry did I say that out loud?

    Taking a morning shit...  THEN watch the majestic display of tradition, soap opera, ceremonial prowess and organisation. 

    Should be over by lunchtime so will then jump onto CL to read the hilarious comments of both sides of the arguement, whatever the fuck that is...

    Fair play Paddy for starting this thread and actually taking in what afka said. I’ll be playing golf but I hope people that are celebrating have a good day.

    Doing a few jobs in my wife’s nursery that can’t be done during the week when the children are there. 

    As VG said above I hope all those that are celebrating enjoy it and I hope the weather stays fine, especially on Sunday for the street parties

    Mods Mayday concert in Islington. Disappointed to be missing it, would have gone to the street party at my mums if it hadn't clashed. Hope all watching/going have a great day and the weather isn't too bad (doesn't look great though).

    How are you going to hold your clubs if you've got a paintbrush in your hand?

    The thought of watching cabbles, AFKA and aliwibble in concert is enough to put anyone off 😂

    One of those track day experience vouchers - the missus bought me it ages ago, fortunate timing tho eh (I mean the weather forecast) I think its a Lambo delgado, and a couple of others. To be honest its more for my 13 year old who is driving too. Not sure how long it takes so might be finished in time, really not bothered - I'm in two minds about the monarchy frankly. Charles should do a stint then move on, he's been around way too long.

    Usually weekend stuff a middle ages bloke does. 

    Bit annoying to have three bank holidays in the same month and not have them spread about a bit. First world problems by definition!
