Agree about abide with me, but that young lass singing national anthem was good.

 

I thought it was good nt

 

No theres an act for Britains got talent!!!

 

We have someone who crys during God save the queen...........Oh My God !!!

............... (doh)


Nar then..........if they were singing..... Jeruselem.......or...... Land of Hope and Glory..........

Then I would be a blubbering wreck

 

God save the queen has nothing to do with this country

And should not be sung at England games or English events.a

Land of hope and Glory the englsih national anthem

Keep God Save the Queen for the Olympics were a GB team participates

I presume yer do know the song Jerusalam is about England tho ???

...........because I have had that said to me before

That is to say "why should Jerusalam be our national anthem when its not even in England"........... (doh)

 

RE: We have someone who crys during God save the queen...........Oh My God !!!

RE: Err Nudge - what Country is Jerusalam in

It's summat about trying to get planning permission and immigrants building their own stuff here or summat like that ain't it?

 

MEANING

MUPPETS!!!! Its about England!!! As is says.......
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon ENGLANDS mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On ENGLANDS pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from metal fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built jerusalem
In ENGLANDS green and pleasant land.

Its basically saying this is GODS country, But its an egg chasers song!!!

 

Eaststander...................here we go again

.................mince mince mince............and even more mincing...........I'll scratch yer eyes out darling


PS........Eaststnder, please put the claws away (dunno)

RE: Err Nudge - what Country is Jerusalam in

Dint that Jesus and his band headline at Glastonbury.

Bunch of crusties.

 

YES IT HAS!!

Course its to do with our country!!

look at verse 3

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!

So who was this Marshal Wade, and who where the ‘Rebellious Scots’ that he was crushing?

General George WadeMarshal Wade was in fact the British Field Marshal, George Wade. George was born in 1673, the son of Jerome Wade of Kilavally, Westmeath in Ireland and he entered the British Army in 1690.

Rising quickly through the ranks, Wade became captain in 1695. In 1702 he served in Marlborough's army, earning particular distinction at the assault on the citadel of Lk'ge, and in 1703 he became successively Major and Lieutenant-Colonel in his regiment.

Wade again distinguished himself at the Siege of Alcantara in 1706, when in a rearguard action at Villa Nova his two battalions repulsed twenty-two allied squadrons.

He had now risen to the command of a brigade, and in January 1708 he was promoted Brigadier-General in the British Army. In August 1710 following the great battle of Saragossa he was promoted to the rank of Major-General and given a command at home.

The Jacobite outbreak of 1715 saw Wade in his new role of military governor. He twice helped foil Jacobite conspiracies, and even had the Swedish ambassador in London arrested.

In July 1724 General Wade was sent to Scotland on a military mission for George I. In the uncertainty following the 1689 and 1715 Jacobite Risings, he was tasked to 'inspect the present situation of the Highlanders' and to 'make strict inquiry into the last law for disarming the Highlanders'.

Wade reported back that the majority of Highland men able to bear arms were ready to do so against the Crown. George I immediately appointed Wade Commander-in-Chief, North Britain and he began to organise Crown garrisons in the Highlands.

 

Land of Hope and Glory?

F.ck that. Jerusalem all the way.
