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  ;) 

What have you done with the real Banjax ?  :-/ :o :o

FFS, its been non-stop all bloody week  >:(

Yes, its a happy occasion, if thats what floats your boat, but surely they can put something else on the bloody 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)
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

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??
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 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

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.

Agreed that the media have ruined it, if you didn't avoid the hype, but the couple did agree to it being as it is ;) ;)

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 ;)
