Not sure if it will be deemed too offensive, delete if you deem unfit.
I'll be taking the opportunity to play football tomorrow.

We've arranged a Royal not giving a s**t party in next doors back yard for tomorrow.
Took a lot of planning too.
Beer...Check
Wood for the chimnea...Check
Job jobbed.

We are so going out tomorrow, if only to avoid the telly!
They weren't interested in my wedding, why should I be interested in theirs!
And who cares who designed her bloody dress! >:(
But thanks for the extra days holiday! :y
-
I will be going to bed tomorrow morning when I get home from work, so I might miss it all. Shame. :)

.......with moving house; I`ve missed my 'metalwork' recently.
A snake-sculpture for the garden: made from a (heavy) old chain is on the cards. :y

You're probably right, but the media didn't go radio rental over it like they are now

There wasn't as much media back then, I suppose..
Still, it beats football being on the telly.

Should have moved north of the border TB - apathy over the royal wedding reign's supreme here as only 13 street parties have been planned north of the border.
I shall, of course, be glued to the telly in anticipation of seeing the wedding dress :P ::) (NOT)

Thought I'd escaped it tonight. Me and the rest of the local CAMRA branch decided to have a

Well reguardless I am going to be watching the Wedding. It is History in the making :y
As for what has Britian come to for watching the Wedding... alot of the older generation My Nanna included are proud of our Heritage, just maybe its our generation that are wrong that we pass it all off with not a care.. couold this be why Britian is coming to this??
-
I'm not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination, but I did work with someone who was at Uni in St Andrews with William on the same degree and said he was a completely normal, decent bloke with no airs or graces and was as down to earth as he could be - and Kate seems a bit of alright - I wish the couple well, and I'm frankly getting a bit peeved with all the negative press and mocking - "10 O'clock Live" was particularly offensive...and I'm a big fan of Charlie Brooker and David Mitchell but the Jimmy Carr "Princess Di" skit was totally tasteless in even my opinion.
As Nickbat says on the music thread we do pomp and circumstance better than anyone, I might see a bit of the ceremony tomorrow our royal family is one of the things that makes us "Great" Britain so good luck to them :y
You never saw that coming I'll bet ;)

I'm all for the street parties - we have one here as soon as the wedding finishes (when does it start/finish?).
Street parties (whatever the occasion) are good for local communities. I'm lucky, where I live, we have a good community anyway. I found out the other day, our road even has a website now :o

You know what Daz, I would watch if for it is history, and it is part of our great country's future...
...but the media's non-stop ramming-it-down-your-throat for the past 2-3 weeks has made me not only apathetic towards it, but actually made me really detest the idea of watching it.
Why have we had 3 weeks of discussing what the dress is like? Couldn't they make it a 30 minute debate? I'm guessing its white, floor length, and covers the arms. We don't need to analyse every bloody sequin?
Grrrrrr!
-
I refer you to my reply on the NB wedding music thread.... :)
-
I agree with you Daz... Although it has been over-hyped for the last 3 weeks (mind you, I have deliberately avoided it as much as possible ;)) it is a great day for the country. :y :y
We're watching :y :y
-
Grrrrrr!
:P "Calm down dear!" ;D

Problem is not the wedding, not in the slightest.
It's the media, as usual. >:(

I agree, they have spoilt any enjoyment and joy I may have had for the occasion... ...all because they believe that viewers want to listen to it for weeks beforehand. Even the most devoted Royalist must also be sick of it by now?
-
I've been ignoring it deliberately until today.
Currently paused while making drinks.
What a spectacle.
Was cleaning the car but it is nice to watch the ceremony
-

Agreed :y :y
Like I said, I've deliberately avoided as much of the "Build up" as possible. The wedding is a National Occasion (no matter what TB thinks) as she is the future Queen ;) ;)
As a couple, I think they are going to be very good for the UK and will do a lot of good for the charities that they support :y :y
-

It is a National occasion, its not a State occasion. Therefore, the ceremony should be as private as possible, to an extent. Televise it, if thats OK with the couple, but the media's frenzy has, really, ruined it, as the media now feels it has to be sensationalist.
Whether she is THE future queen (note, she will never be The Queen) is not guaranteed... ...it will take the deaths of 2 people before that can happen. Hopefully, she can be the mother of a future heir.

As for future... No, she won't be THE Queen, but she will be Queen by virtue of the fact that she is Married to THE KING! He will sit on the throne as King, perhaps many years down the line, but he will. I still wouldn't be surprised if Charles never does though ;)

The Prince of Wales will be the King if he outlives Maj. Thats Royal Protocol, and how it should be. At which point, the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will become the Prince and Princess of Wales, and next in line...

Yes, that's Royal Protocol... But there is the possibility that he will not accept the title ;) ;) And, of course, that Her Maj may outlive him ;) She does look extremely fit and healthy for her age :y :y

I think he would accept it if he was able to take the role, healthwise. And he should. Thats his duty.
Of course, Maj is looking very well, and her mother lived a good, long life, though went downhill rapidly, as many 'healthy' old people do. Here's to Maj having a long life :y

They were already talking - outsiders in their church. Strange outsiders at that - the brothers were not married to their mummy-sisters, and no strange bits of skin between the fingers and toes....

Just p*****es me off 5000 police on duty, who is paying for that ???? lets see next week they will have more nhs cuts to fund it. Sorry if it offends some but thats just me i'm affraid,

The NHS needs cuts. Its just too inefficient. So that argument holds no sway with me...

Doesn't need cuts just better management. sorry but having first hand experience from this had a cochlear implant fitted last year only had one as there was no funding for two so i still remain deaf in one ear,paid into the system for thirty years,

My own feeling is it actually needs to close. Completely. Then a decision made whether to rebuild it properly. The concept is idealogical, but will always be difficult to implement in practice.

And NI is a stealth tax anyway.
For the 'average' wage, each working person pays approx £2000pa NI. Each trust receives approx £1200pa.

NI is for far more than the NHS... Pensions are a far bigger draw on NI contributions ;) ;)

i think they have 5 managers to a bed...my view i think they should let tescos run it (laughable i know) but at least they can run something without making a loss..thing is my mum is in hospital at mo and the nurses/doc do a great job but they are rushed off their feet and they are doing a 12 hour shift..need more nurses/doc and less managers :y

What NHS cuts ? The NHS budget has been ring fenced to rise at the level of inflation afaik. wrongly imo. ;)

If Charles has a breath in his body after mum pops her clogs he will be King. He wants it soooooo bad it hurts.
Personally I think the bloke is a rather moron, who should be in a home for the bewildered.

;) Gratefully accepted with a matey-wag! :y
-
i wont watch it anyway its a load of crap they dont do anything for us
-
Ahh slept through it all, not that I was planning on turning the TV on anyway ;)
In fact, only came here to say Happy birthday to Metheny ;)
-
A wonderful occasion, spectacular and made me proud.
You see up here, Scotland, you are now a racist and a bigot if you fly the Union Flag. So its a refreshing delight to watch so many in full flow.
The vast majority of people geographically local to us want Scotland to be little south ireland.
I actually got goosbumps watching the spectacle.
Fair play its not everyones cup of tea but i liked it :y
-
Good for you Markie. ;)
-
Happy birthday, Metheny :y
;) Fank ewe! :y

The Union Flag is one of the great flags - it is a pity you're seen as a bit odd if you fly it up here, and of course the connotations in the west of scotland are especially unwelcome - i wouldnt fly it but nor would i fly an irish tricolour which apparently as a celtic fan i should :o

Well what a brilliant Wedding.
She looked Gorgeous, infact they both looked Fantastic which made me feel very Proud.
I hope they both Change the feelings people have about Royalty.
I am sure his Mum will be Proud
God Bless :)

It was well done.
The Sea King was a nice touch.

It was a fantastic show :y :y :y Makes me proud to be a Brit ;) ;) ;)

I assume that statement is based on fact? ::) ::) ::)
I guarantee that each individual member does more for this country in 1 day than you do in a year ;) ;) ;)

My moan isn't about Royalty, or the event - us Brits do know how to do pomp and ceremony - its purely about the media coverage. They do it to death, then several steps beyond.
Makes my blood boil
-
Yep... As usual, the media have over done it >:(
-
Harry pothead and the half bald prince. :P

Earened a wee titter here Shimmey. ;)

Well I spent the day in the garden and only seen the event when I came into the house occassionaly .
I have to admit it was a superbly televised event accuratly conveying the splendour and pomp of the ceremony.
Yes the media almost caused mental fatigue before the day arrived with their saturation reportage but I just didn't watch it on the run up.
Good luck to the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and I hope they show a bit more decorum and responsibility in their actions and position than the previous generation of Royals did , or didn't as the case was.......
" Hip , Hip ........"

I for one don't care how much the media over-did it, it was a fantastic day for the country, we don't get too many spectacles like this.
It's what put's the 'Great' in Britain.
I'm unashameably British and Royalist to the core.

Bloody hell, it continues today >:(

It'll be going on for days, TB .. we had a week of analysis of what might happen, who might wear what, who might have designed what, blah blah blah. Then the day. Now we can have a week of analysis of what did happen, who did wear what, who did design what, and whether it will all last or if Queenie will have her killed off like her husbands mo..crap the men in white coats are here for me again.
