Sky Jubilee remote
If none of this Jubilee junk joyousness pushes your buttons, then this Jacked-up Sky remote – compatible with all Sky+HD boxes – will probably be the last thing on your shopping list. However, it might be the perfect token gesture as you endeavour to steer clear of the televised celebrations.
So, how about a movie instead? Surely there will be a great selection on Sky to distract you from the occasion. Just hit the Box Office button and make your choice of... The Queen... The King's Speech... W.E... Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?

Xbox 360 Special Edition 4GB Kinect Celebration Pack
Microsoft pays homage to the Queen this year with a special edition Jubilee Xbox 360 console, which comes with a chav-tastic Union Jack design. Never saw that coming, eh? Those who snap up the 4GB console are given the choice whether or not to stick the decorative skins over their console. So anyone given this as a gift can still retain their dignity and leave the stickers in the box rather than on it.
Saying that, you could always counter-balance that flagged-up Xbox patriotism by destroying parts of London in Modern Warfare 3. PlayStation 3 owners who wish to keep the British flag flying high can opt to purchase PS3 skins separately, although no specific bundles are available. How can you resist? ®

Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
An American, from the country that has given us junk food, obesity, gun crime, unfair extradition treaties, rendition, poor spelling, grey squirrels and Aids etc......
Your opinion is..... Not relevant.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Here in UK, UK very few of us give a rats arse either.
But manufacturers are idiots, and we like a good laugh at our own expense.
I'm sure you realise that whatever we screw up at the Olympics, the British will be laughing hardest and longest.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"I'm a Finn, actually."
Hardly surprising. An American would never have made the connection between this lot and our "tiny little monarchy". Actual Americans live under the impression that the "world news" they see on the TV is fictional and made in Hollywood.
Ratings are heavily down since the scriptwriters canned their hugely popular villain, the Soviet Union, at the end of series 8. The new bad guy, Islamic terrorism, isn't polling well with Nielsen audiences and it's likely that foreign news won't make the cut for the fall schedules.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
We Didn't have junk food until you imported it to us, we couldn't afford it because we were still paying you back for the lend lease items WW2 until recently. Still you made plenty of money out of us.
As for rendition, that's what you do to people when they disagree with you.

> really rather not be *anywhere* in California
I get to visit California regularly, and nice though it is to visit I would really rather not, ever, in my life, live there. Even without the rain (which is why it's so brown^H^H^H^H^H golden). Apart from anything else, it's either overcrowded and frenetic, or stultifyingly boring, with nothing in-between.
And it is parochial, in that few people execpt recent immigrants have, or desire, any knowledge of anywhere outside CA.
