Benign indifference are my thought, anyone else?

I don't care at all for it, way to many commercials, it's on the news a zillion times a day, t.v shows, one was called The New Diana?

It's highly overrated and there is no way I am getting up at 3 am to tune in.

the money spent.....:-2

Thank god I don't live in Britain!

I don't even live in Britain and I'm sick of it already. I did hear there was a 30 million dollar price tag on the security.:-2 It seems here the only people interested are the media.

We have football on the opposite channel, sorry Kate and Wills, footy trumps your media circus any day!

Since it happens at 1am on the west coast no much interest on my part may catch highlights on the new.

Organiser scrubs only royal wedding street party in Glasgow due to lack of demand - The Daily Record

I've seen some of the foreign coverage, well american anyway, they seem to find it all quite exciting

I just saw Royal wedding spoof tops 8 million views: viral video spotlight - Gadgets & Tech, Life & Style - The Independent and it's the first time I've regretted the closure of the Lord Chancellor's Department. T-Mobile should be permanently banned from operating in England.

I love the spoof the doubles are pretty close it has topped 11 million views in the US.

Why? Royalty and politicians are fair game for being sent up. We have a long history of poking fun at them.

It was the inclusion of that bearded Druid behaving the way everyone fears he might that raised my eyebrow.

I haven't yet made up my mind as to whether to work or not on Friday. If I decide not to, I think I'll quite enjoy the pageantry.

I've booked my seat next to the Pimms. I'll take my own cucumber.

Wouldn't be so bad if they paid for their own wedding. Nothing against will and kate just what they stand for. Wonder how the army guys and RAF pilots will feel knowing they may face being made redundant shortly - I'd feel tempted to drop a bomb on downing street. Actually I do anyway but I know that is not a terribly constructive approach. In the 21st century we have two public schoolboys running the country and making sure ordinary people don't get to go for further education any more, we are getting ready for a royal shindig, the country is bankrupt and the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer and british soldiers are dying in pointless wars but for the oil companies this time instead of empire. Where is a red flag when you need one?

Like any other newly marrried couple, I wish them well. Too much ado is made of a wedding; it's the marriage that counts. IMO

Prince William has said he doesn't want the traditional fruitcake at the wedding reception.

Prince Philip has said he can sod off, because he's coming whether Wills likes it or not.:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

LOL is it over yet??

lol just beginning, watching the guests arriving at Westminster Abbey. Have to, the occasion appears to have been bigged up at my daughters school so she's insisting on watching. I think she'll get bored soon. Off to a party at one, think she'll remember that more :wah:

She did show up, give her that. And I'm impressed that he's not marrying on the basis of good looks.

The dress was apparently designed by the American film director of Gothic Horror movies, Tim Burton.

A typical comment from a closet Royalist in denial ?

Brought a TV and antenna into the office today and set it up in a meeting room for people to watch as they wanted, at one point almost all the staff were crammed in there.

What the heck.. it is a bit of fun and something happy all over the tv instead of the usual wars and depression stuff.

Nothing wrong with a bit of happiness for a change.

Before anyone remarks that is silly bear in mind if Catherine Middleton had been catholic she wouldn't have been able to marry her prince. Actually it is silly but then in the states you have pastors burning the koran just to stir things up for the fun of it - what's the difference.

It was a beautiful affair that only the Royal family could pull off. There is no other country on the planet where you would see such a wedding it was grand on every scale they both looked very comfortable.

I thought her dress was beautiful and suited her perfectly.

I never paid much attention to this affair, I'd usually dive for the remote when the news started blabbing about those 2. Today I watched the BBC and a rundown on the wedding and I can say one thing for certain. Kate Middleton is a really REEEEEAAAALLLLY beautiful woman. I hope the prince considers himself a lucky chap.

The phrase "scrubbed up well" springs to mind.

Very pretty wedding, all the ladies loved talking about it all day long.

The wife got up in the wee hours to watch the event.

I confess to being mostly uninterested in such stuff.

They do make a nice couple, and I hope they can always be as happy with each other as they now appear to be.

I stayed awake and watch the ceremony live.

What a production - beautiful.

I hope they can remain married with all the rules for their position.

The last few Princess's bailed.

Did they ever do a dna test on harry?

I thought it was all very beautiful. We needed some cheering up, if only for a day.

I think they have done, but we'll never know the truth will we

I wasn't really planning on watching but did in the end, it was beautiful and moving even for a cynic like me. I feel for Kate, boy how her life is going to change now, the press will never leave her alone, poor woman.

Wonder what those guardsmen really thought, having possibly post mates because of a lack of body armour or armoured vehicles yet they can find money for a royal wedding, some of them must have felt a little bitter. Nothing personal against the royal family and the alternatives are no real improvement, it's a peculiarly british compromise of a constitution we have. But they are the descendants of brutal warlords who took over and ruled the country by force of arms and slaughtered on a regular basis anyone who didn't like it. We don't owe them anything at all - the freedoms we now enjoy were taken by force from them, not given.

I liked them tooling off in the little convertible, waving at everyone.

He really is the spit of James Hewitt lately.

pretty good for someone who says he didn't meet her until two years after harry was born, eh?

Well its not like he's going to admit it hun.

Princess Di admitted to the affair during a interview.

During the Royal Wedding - you couldn't help but to notice Harry & how much he looks like Hewitt.

Patsy

Oh well even if its true Charlie wont be the first or last to be raising another man's son as his own, Harry's chances of ever sitting on the throne have to be pretty low, maybe Spot could work out a statistic.

buttercup;1358554 wrote: Well its not like he's going to admit it hun.


Really no need.

That is one of my more positive points for Charles. He's just ignored it.

there is a very funny photo going around a the moment of her bending down in front of Will. it actually looks like she's taking the public royal wedding kiss a bit too far. and it doesn't help that one of her little flower girls is looking on with her nads over her ears lol lol
