Its gotten a bit silly lately but that was to be expected. I've no interest in watching it but my wife has set it to record (she's english) so i doubt i'll escape it!

I've turned into an emotional twat since my daughter was born so i can't help but be a bit sad that his mother can't be there

Dimlow, you are in the UK so I suppose that is quite to expect.

OTOH, in my not so royal small country, two of four nation wide TV networks are covering the event. I don't watch TV anyway, so
this don't bother me much, but still...

Yep, im in the UK, i rather just see a 5 minute news report about it, but i expect it will be going all day. Why the heck did they make it a bank holiday. Why shut the country down so everyone has no choice but to absorb this crap. Why didn't they just announce that they have got married, we could all just wish them well and get on with our lives, instead of all this malarkey.

How often does a future King marry? Last Royal Wedding with a Bank Holiday was July 1981 when Prince Charles married Lady Diana.

I much much prefer to have Prince Charles ( he will be known as King George VII ) on the throne as head of the United Kingdom rather than someone like George W Bush, Bill Clinton, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Ill or Robert Mugabe as president of the United Repubic of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

Well i've got a day off work PAID, wife and daughter left for London last night so have the house to myself (and the dog), Winner!
Got a phone call last night for the wife , arrive ok and booked into the hotel and was asked if they would prefer a twin room rather than the double they had booked, she agreed and was bumped up into an executive suite!!! Go figure?? Just beside the Marble Arch so central for everything, she'll come back a happy bunny so why should I complain?

Yeah these Royals don't have a wedding every day so who can deny them their festival of hats and frowns.

What irks me is the days and hours of palaver that accompanies this and similar events. We've been watching live satellite crosses to empty pommy streets for days, along with plane loads of has-been TV journos interviewing some man who knows a guy who knows the bloke that manicures the royal gazelle. Cheap TV programming becomes preferred TV programming and they remain clueless why Joe Public is turning off.

Trying to write concise code with Ita lisping on about the beauty of Belgian chiffon and how it matches the duke's boil is not easy. If it was in my home the TV's big red switch would have been thrown hours ago. The solution is usually so easy.

Friday night TV is usually crap. It's just the each channel usually has its own, different crap whereas tonight they've all been showing the SAME crap

If nothing else though, it's let me get on with some packing.

I just watched the wedding live from 10.30am when the cars were taking the most important guests to Westminster Abbey through the whole service to the procession to Buck House, had my lunch until the balcony appearance. Just 3 hours of telly and I did enjoy it because it reminded me of the weddings that I attended.

I think Kate and Wills are a far better match than Charles and Diana were close on 30 years ago.

Oh, I hated Princess Beatrice's hat because it made her look like one of the Royal cars, you know the ones with the shields above the windscreens!!!

royal bollocks

Great description ..
And I will add : An tourists attraction , for the ones with bad taste.

It's all about perspective. These events are great!
While they last no one will bother you in your electonics lab.

Alex · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2011, 04:46:43 pm »

I believe it's one of those otherwise useless events that do however unite the British. Similar to quotes from adverts like "made from 100% British beef".

They estimated the profits from tourism gifts e.t.c. to be more than 200 million euros (or quids, I don't remember).

Well I have an partial knowledge of the English history,
and originally the acts of their Kings was terrible , and against Ireland and Scotland .
And in Africa , they did their poops too.

No one with sense, of what had happened at the past, should run behind those Royal left overs.

Wow, what a stance! Maybe you should not have supplied a hubby to the Queen then? LOL

Fraser · « **Reply #19 on:** April 29, 2011, 11:25:05 pm »

In my job I indirectly work for Her Majesty the Queen so I was pleased to see that the event went well and was uplifting for many in a country that has it's fair share of troubles, both home and abroad.

If you can afford another couple of minutes relating to the wedding then take a look here... I think you will be entertained ?

Be happy and wish the couple well......they looked good together.

Not in to all this myself .... but my wife loves it. She's watching the replay now (she watched it live at 3am). I don't feel so guilty sneeking downstairs to play electronics!

Why is he dressed like the doorman of a New York apartment building and why is she wearing a wedding dress that looks like it came out of an Oxfam collection bin? $:-\$
