For the Olympics 2 of the 5 Verses are to sung. Verses 1 & 3.

Verse 2 to be dropped because of its politically incorrect content:


O Lord our God arise,

Scatter our enemies,

And make them fall!

Confound their knavish tricks,

Confuse their politics,

On you our hopes we fix,

God save the Queen!


So here it goes.


Verse 1


God save our gracious Queen!

Long live our noble Queen!

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the Queen.


Verse two


Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour,

Long may she reign.

May she defend our laws,

And give us ever cause,

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the Queen.

Lets hope they dont wheel Lesley Garret out to honk it like she did on the Champs Elysee. Poor Wiggins looked like he wa going to shrivel up with shame. It would have been marginally more bearable if their had been a brass band to drown out her divaish warbling. How about an alternative? I'm going with This:
It strikes me as wilfully odd that they can update the interpretation of the bible every 5 mins to suit the waxing and waning of public opinion but they cant airbrush out the verse which calls for the enforced rimming of the Scottish chieftains(or whatever). Is their a verse that alludes to The Welsh fondness for a certain livestock or one that touches on the upside of the potato famine? Fie for shame your majesticness. Still, I'm looking forward to it...

Yes, I know the words:


Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,

Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;

Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,

Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.


Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra m?r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,

Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;

Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si

Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.


Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra m?r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,

Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,

Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,

Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.


Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra m?r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
