Royal Wedding

[bridge too far]

We will enjoy the day travelling about (unless Mr TF is on shift) and revelling in the freedom of the roads, vacated by all the lemmings watching the occasion.

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

Do sky have this clause too?

 

Their clause is for the Tories

[Saintandy666]

Well, that much is obvious! In fact, on a separate note, I have noticed in the last few months Sky have edged increasingly towards bias on their news channel. I worry.

'Lemmings' BTF; are you intellectually superior to us ordinary folk? The street parties are in full swing and you will be driving around and around because the roads will be clear?

I wasn't intending on driving on roads in residential areas - unless you're telling me they're having street parties on motorways and A roads?

 

I don't think I'm superior to anyone in any way - equally I'll not be seduced by the hype.

Its just that you refer to us as lemmings BTF.

[trousers]

I've just heard they are going to rename the Monday after Christmas Day from Boxing Day to Wills and Kate Day.

 

Another nail in coffin for the dumb downers.

[saint lard]

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.

 

We won't be able to get any flags out be it the Union Flag or otherwise,the ethnic minority and the PC brigade will put a dampner on that,just like it being frowned upon celebrating St Georges day with flags and bunting,i mean.....how dare we.

[trousers]

That's because those of us who see this as good news have only come to that view in a sheeplike fashion rather than through making our own minds up.

 

BTF says so, ergo it must be true... ;-)

[bridge too far]

What a shame that a REAL news story about the number of children having to be carers for their disabled parents got pushed onto the back page, so to speak.

In my experience it is not the minorities that put a stop to this; it is the Guardian reading intellectual stasi who stir up resentment by becoming 'offended' on behalf of other people.

what might you be seduced by?

[EastleighSoulBoy]

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.

 

Well this news could not have come at a better time. Just the thing we needed to help us plebs forget all the swingeing cuts that by then will be biting across the country.

What to the sports section?

[Barney Trubble]

Good timing - just as we all start to suffer from recession and unemployment.

 

Just like when his mum and dad got married.

 

Coincidence, no dout.

 

I agree.

 

However, as my dear old mum said today "It'll be nice though, and he seems a nice boy that one"

 

The sentimentalists will love it but it's co contrived that I want to puke. It won't matter if it's a national day off as there will be so many unemployed that it won't make a great deal of difference.

Isn't it time you stopped rebeling against your Conservative upbringing.

[dubai_phil]

Ah just what was needed a nice tourist event to beat the gloom of the economy.

 

Congrats to the couple and all that tinged with the experience to say - You FOOLS!

 

And sympathy for her, she seems a nice chick and really doesn't deserve the nightmare world of Paparazzi that her life has and will become

[trousers]

In the opinionated world we live in I see this as a 'win win'.

 

The republicans are happy because it gives them something to whine about.

 

And the non-republicans are happy because it annoys the republicans.

 

So, republicans, carry on moaning about it to maintain the happy equilibrium.

 

(just don't moan about it in a lemming kinda way...)

I'm sure you'll find this weeks Children in Need event may help those kids who find themselves in this predicament. Oh wait.... silly me, of course you wont be watching or indeed contributing to that either will you, what with you despising it and all.

[GenevaSaint]

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

 

Oh come on BTF, be fair to the royals. They're even buyin into austerity by recycling a dead princesses engagement ring. We're all in this together, just keep repeating that.

Thank you for attributing to me a sentiment I've never expressed.

 

Will you be doing occult reading next?

[Turkish]

how much will this all cost us then?

 

Just watching the interview on BBC, i bet the guy is desperate to ask, "so when was the first time you nailed her?"

[dune]

how much will this all cost us then?

 

Far less than the amount of revenue having a Royal family generates for the economy. The yanks will come in their droves for the wedding, and it'll give the UK huge exposure.

[solentstars]

means nothing to me but good luck to the couple just another guy and girl getting married ,and should be good for women who believe that their prince has come romantic stuff antourists and merchandise hopefully sponsorship should cover the cost of the wedding.

True enough, i hope all our "i Heart London" T-shirts are printed by the thousand, replica London buses made and burger bars are well stocked ready for the Yank invasion.

Audience predicted at 2.5 billion....... that must hurt the anti royalists

[rocknrollman no2]

Cue all those sad people who went over the top about Diana,suddenly going over the top again about another pointless royal wedding,which will re enforce how rich the royals are and how much they enforce our outdated class system.

[LGTL]

Just under 2.5 billion of those don't have to put up with them in their own countries. It's a great novelty for them, novelty being the optimum word. Unfortunately, novelty soon wears off.

[Saint137]

Mate of mine used to work with her at Jigsaw (Mummy & Daddy's company), he claims to have "interesting" photos of her at the Xmas do.

How much does the Royal Family affect your daily life? I mean really? How anyone can genuinely think the Royal Family isn't good for Britain is beyond me (admittedly like most people I'm not Charles' biggest fan).

I bet all the people whinging for no good reason about this wedding are the same ones whinging about Britain losing it's Brittishness. Like it or not, the Royal Family are a global icon symbolising much of what made this country great. Why should having a very likeable prince and princess (future king and queen) be seen as a bad thing? Seems like a bresh of fresh air to me!

good post and having idiots calling them royalty shows how sad their lives are if they think we still believe in fairy tales.

good luck to the couple -me i will avoid the papers and tv like i did with the diana fiasco and more interested in watching paint dry.

Soceity needs classes. Would you think better of the Royal Family if they live in a tower block in the East end? Perhaps we should all share our wealth out equally to make a fairer society? I've heard that idea somewhere before...

The royals have done so much for this country. Why shouldn't they have a bit of wealth. You seem a bit jealous if you ask me.

And how much do I affect theirs? They couldn't give two ****s about me, and the feeling is mutual.

 

I wouldn't say i'm a Royalist or a Republican, I don't have much of an opinion on it and I care little for a wedding that quite frankly is already annoying the hell out of me with its 24/7 coverage and comments by all the hangers on.

Any idea of a date yet? I want to be out of the country please.

Or an 'accident'?

That's very nobel of you to offer to leave the country Sir. We do need millions of volunteers to do this to make enough space for all the tourism this will generate.

 

Again, thank you.

[CB Saint]

Well 24 hrs in and I am already fed up with the media coverage. They should go for a xmas wedding and get it over and done with and let everything return to normal.

Good post. The answer to your question is: irrational class envy. It's what separates the human race from the rest of the animal kingdom.

[Mao Cap]

I got out of work half an hour early because at least half of all the newspapers are taken up by frenzied sycophancy instead of news, which was pretty cool and I must admit I do like the thought of having a hot Queen...never rated Diana in that department really, she had that hideous fluffy 80s hair.

 

On the negative side, I had to wade through a lot of said sycophancy (as well as the Grauniad's sniping, which was equally tedious TBH - Indy had a single neutral article about it and led with a report about Ireland, which showed a lot of class) including a cartoon in the Daily Star showing the happy couple with Di as an angel in the background giving a thumbs-up, EUUURRRRGHHH!

 

And the Tories got to bury a large amount of bad news today...the U-turn about Cameron's photographer chap was announced 20 minutes after the wedding announcement. Well played, it has to be said.

At least Labour supporters will be happy to see one of the regular tactics of the Blair/Brown years has rubbed off on Cameron...

 

What were the other "large amount" of bad news items the Tories buried yesterday?

[Turkish]

seeing the news this morning it seems that the Yanks are all cracking one out about it already, a bloody fanfare on one of their new stations FFS. Be interesting too see how glamourous and ostentatious the wedding will be using vast amounts tax payers money at a time when people are losing their jobs and services are being cut.

[AndyNorthernSaints]

I would imagine alot of people on here would be seething and frothing at the mouth if anyone else left university 5 years ago and had hardly worked in a proper job since.

[Dog]

Just imagine her dressed up in black stockings & suspenders,

 

a peep hole bra & crotchless knickers,

 

and bouncing up and down on your
