[EVENT] [RETRO] Results of Anglo-Ceylonese Independence Negotiations

From the Office of the Governor-General of Ceylon, Sir Oliver Goonetilleke, came an announcement early in April of 1958. British negotiators from Singapore had arrived and discussed for quite some time the prospect of the independence of Ceylon. The end of the discussions were most agreeable to the Governor-General Goonetilleke and his own staff of negotiators representing the Ceylonese people: Ceylon would be granted independence as the Dominion of Ceylon no later than 1st January, 1961.

British negotiators made a brief statement:

โ€œWhile we regret the circumstances of the departure of Ceylon, we do look forward to a long and healthy relationship working together as members of the same Commonwealth as we venture into the fraught future.โ€

Terms for the departure are mostly hinged on assisting the Ceylonese government in preserving its internal security against any further subversive efforts and reestablishing their ability to maintain that security without the assistance of British troops. Britain has committed herself fully to assist insofar as such assistance is required by the Ceylonese to ensure they are able to defend themselves and participate actively and equitably on the global stage in the coming decades.

> The carillon of bells rang out over London and Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks filled the Abbey, the young Queen wore a white satin dress designed by the royal couturier Norman Hartnell.

> Queen Elizabeth commissioned Hartnell to design and make the Coronation dress in October 1952.

> There was one emblem not included in the embroidery sample that was included in the dress: 'unknown to the Royal wearer there was one extra little four-leaved shamrock for luck.

> The brilliant effect of the Coronation dress is hinted at by this embroidery sample which in itself conveys freshness and harmony tempered with stateliness and dignity afforded by the luxurious materials and the exactitude of the embroidery.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐Ÿ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
