It’s the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations this weekend, and there
are union flags littering the place everywhere (let’s face it, it isn’t the
prettiest of flags – hopelessly over-complex, for one thing.)
Ashbourne has done it slightly differently. They’ve got
strings of bunting all over the town, but they haven’t used union flags. They’ve
used alternating pennants of red, white and blue, the effect of which is to
look more Gallic than British.
Which is amusingly ironic, don’t you think?
And while I'm on the subject of Jubilee celebrations, I have to decide whether to show my face at the village do on Saturday. It carries great personal risk for me, you know, and I'm not about to divulge the nature of that risk, so you'll have to be content with the plain fact.

I'll go if you go. hahaaha
Would you hold my hand and protect me from the grumpy grown ups?
Yes i will. I will carry a big stick and no one will come near us. Or i just won't bathe from now until then... if you forgo bathing as well then our combined stench will stave them off.
Did I mention you're odd?
I prefer peculiar. Its more PC. jk
In UK usage, 'odd' is the gentlest. 'Peculiar' is stronger, though little used these days (which is one of the reasons why I like it.) 'Weird' would be the strongest.
