It's not just the media getting into a frenzy over this weekend's jubilee. Our representatives in Parliament seem pretty excited too. Six Labour MPs have tabled an Early Day Motion, proposing that London Underground's Jubilee line be renamed the "Elizabeth Jubilee Line" to commemorate HRH's "exceptional 60 years".

Other than the MPs' obvious loyalty to the crown, one wonders if there is another reason for the motion. Angling for future honours, perhaps? Or maybe they are just after a place on one of the royal barges? Either way, guys, no one likes a crawler.
