I have to admit the media is making huge miles out of it. Just imagine if they married 12 months after the engagement, not 3 months or so.
I get sick of the "predictions" and the "anticipations" of the media, as the reporters second guessing everything.
I'd be happy with the facts. Just the facts, and nothing but the facts.
It is a significant time in British and the Commonwealth's history, and a really good time to become a republic, except we don't have a suitable leader yet.
But that's another story not of this forum.
There's always the OFF button.

Indeed. I read today that the security for this nonsense is going to cost $31 million. That would provide a lot of homes for people, or a lot of medical care for old people. I'm afraid that "Great" Britain is now officially a joke.
Cheers, Tony

I am really looking forward t it. Haven't seen TV since last Wednesday so missing out on the hype. A royal wedding , a good one only comes around every 30 years or so. Its history in the making whether you are a royalist or republican. Love all the regalness and regalia of it all. I will be glued to the TV on Friday, so will make sure I get to sons in Biggenden before then.
Then of course the same weekend we have the Logies, Great weekend.

Maybe we could start a competition to see who can count the most number of times the word "fairytale" is used by the media! wink

You'd think Mr and Mrs Middleton would have hoped that their daughter would have married a nice English boy instead of the scion of inbred German aristocrats! (i.e. the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha that changed its name to Windsor) wink

I only got home last night and sick of it already. I like a royal wedding, but not all this guessing game and predictions beforehand. I'll be watching on Friday, that's enough for me.

I know there's an off button, but my TV goes all day, so may have to 'surf',,,IF there's anything else on!

on the Royal Wedding than Anzac day?

 Ma,

The buggas are broke.  It was only recently the British Govt had to make special arrangements to help the Queen make payments on her horse and buggy.  I read somewhere that the repo man wasnt far off the door step when No.10 came to the rescue with some more PRINTED MONEY, you know that pound stuff thats only worth a portion of its former self.

Certainly times are a changin, once upon a time the British monachy was one of the richest in the world & now they're scrapin at the bottom of the barrel, allegedly.  yawn  

Really, its all nonesense, who gives a rats what these folk are up to.  I wouldnt have a clue wots on the telly, can't even find the remote....its probably in the bottom drawer somewhere with my mobile telephone thing & the other watchmacallit.  

CARE FACTOR ZERO & happy that way!  clueless.gif

 Jim, I think from memory that it was Kasier Whiliem who said  ...."a play about the merry wifes of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha?...it just does not make sense..."  Prussian humour lol...

 no the buggers are not broke ... far from it.  The royal family is one of the richest families in the world...   its the Brits who are broke...  probably from keeping the Royals in the manner to which they have become accostomed.   Or is it the manner born... no tv for me tommorrow...

 Haven't come across that one Pete!

The last English monarch was Elizabeth I.  Since then it's been Scotch/French (Stuarts), Dutch/Scotch/French (Orange), and German (Hannover, then Saxe-Coburg-Gotha/Windsor)

I have an idea that Elizabeth was a bast_ard until after Henry T's famous little dummy spit with the Pope when she was then legitimised (although not sure on that one)
