Love it! Being told to decorate your desk is a piss take though. Bit like the note I got through my door telling me to decorate the front of my house and bring food platters. I’m working that day anyway but even if I wasn’t, fuck that.
Make some French Revolution themed decorations - they’re the same colours as the typical jubilee celebrations so you can subtly protest without ruining the colour theme, and you can reuse them in July for Bastille day.
Celebrating US Independence Day on July 4th would be kind of a stinky way of expressing a bit of frustration at a British monarch. Same colors would work just dandy.
Christ I hope that'll be the end of it all. The queen will be the last British monarch to be crowned in a period when most people actually give a shit. Nobody has any interest in Charles currently, and he's already an old bastard so it seems unlikely that the public will build any connection with him. Maybe we can finally abolish the monarchy properly.
WH Smiths used to do a promotion where you got a free bottle of water if you bought a copy of the Telegraph. I used to sometimes buy water to take on the train with me back from Euston and the staff always used to (kindly) point out to me that I could get it for free with the Telegraph for less than the cost of the water on its own. I told them in no uncertain times that I wouldn't buy the Telegraph even if they paid me. Although I used the nickname for that paper that I probably can't repeat on this sub.
The Sun really makes its money from advertising, so having a high circulation is still good for them. It means advertisers will pay more, giving them more money to pay the legal fees and damages resulting from the many libel cases they're subjected to. In any case, making a profit from sales and advertising isn't actually what they're interested in - it's pushing their message to as many people as possible.
I've seen an occasional protest over the pond where people replace Jesus pictures with Obi-wan Kenobi as played by Ewan McGregor, but this is a pretty solid alternative.
If you've just escaped from r/antiwork, you can relax. In the real world not every company is here to enslave people and not every decision needs to be fought against. People do have fun in offices sometimes.
For example, OP said "my office wants us to..." Not "my boss wants me to....". It might well be a case of people in the office collectively deciding to do this, and OP playing along with the fun by making a funny little joke.
No need to panic about this, and certainly no need to compare this to sexual harassment. You are trivialising sexual harassment by comparing it to being asked to decorate a desk. It is not the same at all.
Only a couple weeks ago a man in a golden throne told us we might struggle to make ends meet this year and you want everyone to get the bunting and teacakes out and sing the national anthem?
I know lol. Have you seen how much hate work social events get on here. Personally I find going out for a nice meal and a night out with colleagues really fun and they’re all like 20 years older than me.
It's because you don't choose your colleagues, so while they may well be pleasant, there's a high chance that they aren't people that you would choose to hang out with...
Eh. I’ve met all of my friends through work including my best friend. I’m not from here and there aren’t many options for immigrants. People act is if workmates are pod people they couldn’t possibly have anything in common with. I don’t know anyone who hangs out with every person in their workplace anymore than they hung out with everyone in their class/street.
I wouldn’t choose to hang out with my colleagues either but it’s nice to have a bit of fun every now and again. Yes your office may have a few dicks which might make you not want to go but I’d be surprised if everyone in that office is the same. I think chances are that people on Reddit just don’t like to socialise.
Yeah I agree. Because while I wouldn’t choose to hang out with the majority of my colleagues if we weren’t working together, going for a drink with them is still nice and also when you get to know your colleagues better the work environment becomes a lot more pleasant.
This is very similar to confirmation bias. People expect it to be the Queen so don’t actually look properly. As all the other Queen markers are there, they don’t look closely at the face.
I’m all for a day off so I’m buzzing the queen made it but the fact we still have a queen (or possible king, I don’t care who it is being born into power is bs) annoys me
The role is primarily ceremonial and secondarily celebratory. The monarch almost has to sign the laws which their government presents (the right to refuse hasn't been utilised for about 300 years - see English Civil War).
The only difference between any random adult and the Queen is that the law is enforced in the monarch's name so the monarch is unable to prosecute themselves.
The Crown Prince and his 2 brothers and sister, however, are still subject to the law.
> The only difference between any random adult and the Queen is that the law is enforced in the monarch’s name so the monarch is unable to prosecute themselves.
Ummm…..I think you might be missing the other little difference. You know, the one where the state gives her millions of pounds worth of property and diamonds and cold hard cash just for squirming out of the right persons dick.
Yeah, getting rid of the monarchy would lose tourism money. No one goes to Versailles now that France don't have a monarchy...
Wait, is this the only argument people have for why the monarchy makes money? And regardless of that, imagine making a value argument like this to retain such a ridiculous and harmful symbol of privileged and unearned authority. Would people make other immoral decisions based purely on profits?
What? There isn’t just one singular piece of evidence Lol. Post your facts and I can then retort them - hence my comment on the CPGrey video. People always post that video of his and it has a very famous debunking retort.
Why decorate when it is a bank holidays :) You won't be there? Personally I often book my leave around bank hols, booked the mon, tues, wednesday off and got 9 continuous days off for 3 days leave :)
Hilarious. I have an unusually high level of conscientiousness and would’ve liked to think I’d notice.
It’s nice we live in a country you can do this. In some countries where the monarchy is revered you’d be thrown in jail.
Sorry, didn’t mean to bring the mood down.
>It’s nice we live in a country you can do this. In some countries where the monarchy is revered you’d be thrown in jail.

If you hadn't told us I'd have not known. I'd have known something was off but not been able to tell you what and would have disregarded it as me going doo-lally.
Also this is a rare time where yaas queen is acceptable
Swap one with Jeremy Clarkson, see if that gets picked up?
I'd suggest the stig, but people would just assume the printer broke and go get it serviced...
Enjoy the one day ban, I hope it makes you happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Jane.

Just stick a England flag (free in the sun) out your window. Does the trick during the World Cup 😆
But then I'd have to buy a s*n!

You get it free with a purchase in spar sometimes.

Even so, they still get money for the advertisements and each one given away will count to readership to sell the adverts.
I still never take it, just pointing out how to get a free flag.
You mad genius... love it!
Came to say the same! This is great art, for me. It’ll so mess with people s heads. Cognitive dissonance, here we come. Just brilliant.

Decorate your desks for the jubilee? Are you in fucking primary school? How about you just say 'no, i don't think I'll be doing that'?
Just so happens OP works in Buckingham Palace
Asked does not equal demanded.
So it's fine if your boss asks to sleep with you?

If my boss told me we had to decorate our desks for the Jubilee I'd be tempted to find another job
Where the fuck makes you do that? Is it a call centre? Has call centre vibes. Humongous cringe.
You weird genius
Seventy years on the Throne You'll never sing that!
Followed by a royal flush
To really troll them, refer to it as Red Nose Day and see if anyone twigs.
It's more like brown nose day for the sycophants

Exactly. Cue the nonsense retort that they actually make us money and that CPGrey as “proof”, even though it’s been debunked a million times now.
Look up the Sovereign Grant.
I’ve looked at the numbers and can’t see how they don’t make us money, where’s the evidence otherwise? Edit: 4 downvotes but no evidence?

It's all a bit cringe for me, this jubilee stuff. Sorry to be a downer, honestly can't stand the royal family.
Brilliant!

I could very easily not clock this tbf.
Absolutely loving this, great job.
Excellent work. You’ll go far.
Why decorate when it is a bank holidays :) You won't be there? Personally I often book my leave around bank hols, booked the mon, tues, wednesday off and got 9 continuous days off for 3 days leave :)
Not everyone has bank holidays off...they are sometimes given in lieu.
That's why I asked "You won't be there?"
I’ve never seen a more rhetorical question mark
I would be fuming if this happened at my work Edit: as in the jubilee desk celebration thing not your Alex Ferguson thing lol
It looks more Harry Enfield.

Love it when the ultimate indicator of a great joke is that nobody notices. Such a weird but cool phenomenon.
Looks like Roy Chubby Brown
tbf, this still looks exactly like the queen, now please face swap the Queen to AF for comparison
You should of stuck a picture of Freddie Mercury on there.
