News for the next 9 months

[SeanMacGabhann]

Probably best avoided in this country

still, the Mail should be on their case. Someone dependant on the state marrying someone who has never held a job

[Brendan]

There is a sense of entitlement in this country that needs addressing.

An Irishman and a South African deriding the British monarchy....

Who'd have thunk it?!

Long Live the...err...future King (and Mrs Windsor)!

Yawn.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Techinically, I'm deriding the British media and it's fawning attitude to said monarchy, not the monarchy itself (not on this thread anyway)

Good luck to the pair involved but it's just going to be endless, godawful coverage

The news channels are reporting how other news channels are covering this... and there is 9 months left!

[Brendan]

As and Irishman and a South African I resemble that comment and regardless of duplicitous ethnicity I reserve the right to be derisive of watsoeverIbloodywelllike.

EDIT: because wot I first wrote made bugger all sense.

['bout now]

I have been at home today with the radio on.

I think I'd rather have Tinnitus.

[Jah Lush]

I share your concern Sean and quite frankly who gives a flying f*ck these days? Plenty do I'm afraid. Unfortunately a royal wedding sells newspapers and the media will of course be full of it. I suppose it will get the X-Factor off the front pages of the red tops if nothing else but you don't have to buy it or watch it if even listen to it on the radio. Try the off button.

But Will We Get The Day Off?

[Brendan]

So they?re going to be selling newspapers at the wedding. Some weird German tradition is it?

[PeckhamRose]

If his Gran kicks the bucket beforehand tho, that'll be interesting (and expensive).

[felt-tip]

he has finally capitulated has he? she is already getting a bit munty. she wont age well.

[Michael Palaeologus]

She got his Mother's big sparkler. Girl done well.

[Marmora Man]

Last time this happened I was at sea - and very happy to be on a long long patrol. When "she" died I had to go to deepest, darkest Wales to avoid the media coverage of the funeral.

It's going to be a long long 9 months San, you're right - and nowhere to hide.

[legalbeagle]

Awwwwwww come on! Dead posh frock? Heads of state in groovy get ups? Hats the like of which we shall never see again? Land of Hope and Glory, flag waving, bunting? Shiny smiling faces of patriots lining Pall Mall? SPECIAL EDITION STAMPS?!

People of EDF, get with the spirit!

I for one and BESIDE myself with excitement.

[Narnia]

Is anyone interested in declaring ED a Republic and manning the barriers?

[Pickle]

I appreciate the sentiment of it being his Mother's ring and all, but bet she really wishes she could send it off to "Cash for Gold" and get herself something a bit more modern!

[HAL9000]

William didn't choose to be born into royalty - he is entitled to marry and start a family just like everyone else - in that, I wish the happy couple well.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Indeed Hal. I said as much earlier. It's just the media frenzy to come that bothers

[Michael Palaeologus]

I have to admit to a certain excitement..... :))

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm agog!

[Loz]

You reckon? I think she's a much more natural beauty than her mum-in-law-to-be-that-was. She doesn't need a nose job, for a start.

At least William, unlike Charles, got to choose the woman he marries.

[Ladygooner]

Not sure I would want Diana's engagement ring - smacks of bad luck?

[Townleygreen]

I'm delighted!

[citizenED]

Could it be that Cameron and Osborne gave Wills the nudge - the Royal Wedding will kick start all those private sector jobs...

[Michael Palaeologus]

..... in China making tacky souvenirs.
