Whoop-de-doo. Some rich aristocrat is getting married. I really couldn't be less interested.

 

Actually, that's a bit unfair. Although I am very much anti-royal, I do think William is alright. He's obviously had a very cosseted upbringing, but he does come across as a lot more grounded than most of the eccentrics in his family. If we insist on keeping the monarchy then I would rather that the crown was passed straight to him than to his lunatic dad when Liz finally pops her clogs.

Can you quantify this?

 

Just putting "fact" at the end of the sentence doesn't mean it's true.

 

Sorry, the "fact" was tongue-in-cheek in anticipation of a lot of people inevitably stating as fact that it will cost a shed load of money.

 

There's far more better "rent a quote" posters on here than me who can no doubt prove my hunch right or wrong one way or t'other....

I'm delighted.

 

Will even buy a new suit to wear when I sit in front of the telly to watch.

 

Poor girl, I expect the News of The World have already broken into her house and hid under the bed and also hidden a spycam in her toilet bowl.

 

It's a good excuse for a new TV, maybe you could watch the royal wedding in 3D. You could be sat next to Liz.

Who gives a f**k? Not me, that's for sure.

 

We'll get a good idea with tens of million viewers, tens if not hundreds of thousands on the streets of London and the upsurge in Tourism.

 

It will be a fantastic occassion that the World will celebrate with us and our chance to show off one of our greatest assets... The Royal Family.

If we cannot find a way to ease them completely out of the way, I'd go with this. Chuck is a joke, and the longer Lillibet can be kept with a pulse, the better.

 

I also hope he has better luck with his marriage than his dad, his auntie Anne, his uncle Andrew, his great aunt Margaret, etc, etc. I suppose they do truly represent modern Britain in one way, they are quite dysfunctional.

I not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination, but this is fantastic news, we will get an extra day off next year, then one in 2012 for the diamond jubilee, another in 2013 for Lizzies funeral, another in 2014 for Charlies coronation, one in 2015 for Charlies funeral etc etc. :thumbup:

Congratulations to them and best wishes for their future.

 

We need something to reinforce some English-ness in the face of all the boring, cynical, apologist, identity-diluting claptrap peddled about these days. What with this, the Olympics and, hopefully, 2018 WC bid success, the next few years will give us a chance to show the world we can put on a bloody good show.

That is when you discount all the Scottish, German, Danish, and Greek blood in his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.

 

It's nothing to do with ancestory, more about the present and the future. Hopefully those fine nations will celebrate too, but as the RF represent the British nation (should have said this instead of English, i guess) then GB will be on view throughout the world.

 

And anyway, he's only a 2nd generation Bubble (oh crap, am i in the **** now? ;))

Great news for them personally. However, I really do not feel this warrants the blanket coverage it getting on news channels. The presenters are all acting overly excited, yet the normal people on the street they interview do not reflect anywhere near this excitement. It's embarrassing.

 

That's because the BBC, in particular, have a clause in their charter demanding that they blow as much sunshine up the arses of the royal family as they can at every possible opportunity.*

 

 

 

*This may or may not have any basis in fact.

I really really hope everyone has street parties. I was too young to appreciate what was going on in 1981. I tell you one thing, Revolution Saint will be having the biggest party in Soton. There'll be more bunting than you can shake a stick at! I bet he's planning it as I speak...

 

Oh, where and when can I start buying some commemorative tat? I'm sure the NOTW magazine will start selling some tacky plates - they'll be worth a fortune in years to come.

My family will dress the children up, get the union jacks out and ask the neighbours round; cakes, jelly, burgers, chicken drumsticks, lots of plonk and beer. We will sing along to Jerusalem and I vow to thee my country, play games laugh and have fun. Finally we will sing a rowdy version of the National Anthem and toast the Queen of the greatest people in the World.

 

I almost feel sorry for some of those with their horse hair vests and their self righteous balls.
