Billy Connolly got it right when he said that the the new British national anthem should be the theme from, "The Archers" (With no words!!)

geeez, half wit breed here...let 'em bugger off and be a republic...watch it fall on it's arse...it bags immigrants yet the immigrants keep this country afloat whilst the cork hatted , VB suppers in worn out thongs and with stale bongs bludge off the state....

would anybody want to hear the full rendition of God Save the Queen...its the most dire sounding pile of shite I have ever heard.....it needs bringing up to date lol

Why anyone would expect a foreign country's national anthem to be played at Opening and Closing ceremonies of a Commonwealth Games in Australia, beats me.
Surely she is coming to the Commonwealth Games as Head of the Commonwealth? not with her Queen of anywhere hat on.

Diddy - you know full well that's not what I meant

Yes, I guess she is. In which case, there's no way the English National Anthem should apply at the Commonwealth Games.

Still, we might get to hear it a couple of times (if any English athletes manage to get a gold ).
