Yeah I'm hardly sitting here crying over it :rolleyes: I just think it's a bit ridiculous that people are hoping something will go wrong just because it's the Royal Family, your wedding day's meant to be one of the happiest days of your life.

I probably won't watch it, I don't care either way about the Royal Family and chances are I'll have a lie in that day so I'll be sleeping through it.

Well I hardly think American patriots are a shining example to defend yourself :tongue:

I can appreciate patriotism I guess (when it comes in light-hearted forms such as sporting competitions) I just think it's a bit fucking silly to get so nationally invested about a bunch of rich, unelected people who (95% of) hardly do anything and are so steeped in other countries' royal families anyway. They're certainly nothing to be proud of - Prince Philip's a borderline racist, Sarah's a corrupt money-grabbing arsehole, Andrew fraternises with sex offenders. Sure, Charles and William seem lovely. But there's absolutely nothing of merit about any of them that other philanthropists can't do.

Hyperbole like that last line I just find hysterical. Your wedding day is indeed meant to be one of the happiest days of your life. And? It was a dumb comment and nothing more. And I don't think it's just because it's the Royal Family. I think it's more to do with the coverage it has been getting. It's natural for people to be annoyed by things they have no interest in getting a massive blanket of coverage.

I grimace at the X-Factor coverage at the end of the year. I would absoloutely love if some catastrophic mishap of production happened live on air so I could point and laugh at it on YouTube along with the rest of my thick, evil friends. Yeah it would be at the expense of the production crew and people who enjoy the show but ... well ... yeah. No but. It's just natural thoughtflow and I couldn't really give a rats arse.

I find it so odd when someone picks up on that and then points out how awful it is. Is there any celebrity of any kind out there whose potential misfortune you would find instinctively pleasing or hillarious on a casual level? It dosen't mean you'd punch them in the gut if you met them in person.

Who With?

is Thatcher getting a look-in?

If she is well enough, yes.

For the record for those getting their knickers in a twist over casual comments(again) I do not WISH for bad things to happen to kate and will. I just think it would be funny if it happened live on air. Kinda like how its hilarious when a news reporter *******s up their line or something.

Like she says Harry's name instead of wills!!! :laugh:

You have such a way with words.

Exactly.

Its unlikely to happen, but I would find it funny.

SHAME ON ME, LET ME BURN IN HELL :devil:

:joker::joker:

Arsed arguing with people over humour, I'd obviously find it amusing if she said the wrong name too, I was just making the point that I think it's disrespectful to wish bad things to happen to them on their wedding day, I'm not some kind of humourless Royalist, I just think common decency is generally a nice thing to have, and don't understand why people moan about a lack of British identity and then say they don't care about a Royal wedding when one of Britain's main cultural talking points is our Royal family, in that lots of tourists travel to see Windsor, Balmoral and all the other buildings attached to the Royal Family. Meh.

well im not english, so i dont really care :joker:

Nothing wrong with that.

Patrick the Royal Wedding is on the 29th April (Friday) and they are legally allowed to divorce.

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

Oh alright, Thanks Harry.

the only reason im watching

When pigs fly I'll be excited about the royal wedding. :)

Doubt you'll find many people who moan about lack of British identity that aren't watching the wedding, most who do that are generally Daily Mail pro-Royal types.

Anyway, I dont care about it. I'm not that bothered about the Royal Family really, in theory I'm against them but dont really mind them, I'm pretty indifferent on the whole.

Im well excited for the royal wedding

I'm going to watch loads of the live footage, not so much of the build up.

I wish them well as I said before, but I don't see why it needs to be so grand, I mean what a family anyway, Prince Andrew can be there with his 2 daughters but not their Mother Sarah. Had Diana been alive they likely would not have wanted her there either.

There is not a good example being set to the rest of us either as to tightening our belts financially or showing respect to others.

I likely will catch some of it, but it won't be a priority for me.

Re: Do You Care About The Royal Wedding?
 

No, not really.

2 ugly ***** getting married....**** it.

That made me think of the Friends episode where Ross says Rachel at the altar. :laugh2:

From ITV1 London Local News

Friday has Rain.


Spiffing

I live half hours train ride from London, so we usually get their weather. We have been forecast showers and thunderstorms for the last few days, yet have had neither. So they might be lucky and avoid the showers for their wedding day. If not, then those crowds lining the streets will get soaked :laugh:

Perfect for USA TV News stream
as they think London has Rain every other day.

why is like australia and america so addicted to the royal wedding??
well more so than the english impression

was in nz (aus tv) and on the news everyday was like new wedding memorabilia has sold out/released.

I'm not that perturbed either way - I am very happy that it saves me using up one of my annual holidays though as I'll be away from the wedding madness come Friday!! :blush:

They love the royals. It's seen as a big novelty I suppose because they don't have a monarch so it's all diffirent and fairytaleish to them.

Look at how Obama fever travelled across the Atlantic. Events like this are universal.

I actually don't really gice a toss about the Royal Family, but I do like Prince William and I hope everything goes smoothly for him. I'll watch it just to see her dress, do a bit of celeb spotting and mock the plebs standing in the streets with their little flags. :)

I don't care, just an extra day off school :dance:

:joker:

That's the way to look at it :thumbs: :laugh2:

I won't be watching. It will be a security nightmare.
