The Royal Wedding 2011
The big day draws closer for Will's & Kate. Have you got your royal wedding sick bag at the ready?

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Neighbours are planning a street party. Knowing our neighbours, sick bags might well come in useful.

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Surprisingly - I've yet to receive my invite. I wonder if it's got lost in the post?

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011

On the subject of Royal memorabilia, I wouldn't mind one of these commemorative plates:

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I'm looking forward to the forth comming royal wedding, and if our street does a street party I'll be there.
|
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I may well be working that day, but regardless I will avoid it like the plague as I have every other royal event in living memory.

There's still time for her to cancel. I just need her number to talk her out of it. [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] |

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
For those who like to protest without violence, there are better ways. For example http://www.mygoldmusic.co.uk/ on Virgin cable (959) is running a competition for the greatest hit of all time. Here is a few to select from 1. God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols, 2. Hurricane by Bob Dylan, 3. Money by Pink Floyd, 4. 99 Red Balloons by Nena, 5. AutoBahn by KraftWork, 6. Oh So Quiet by Bjork, 7. Sunday Girl by Blondie (personal reasons), 8. Riders on the Storm by The Doors, 9. Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana and 10. Solitare by the Carpenters (if I have chosen the above it must be the only song for me). In a parallel universe, if I understand curvi-linear space, quantam mechanics and the Dirac Equation, there is a royal wedding taking place with the above song list. There is a side of me that would prefer this music. The washed and the great unwashed joining together in the Big Society for knees up, a bit of a laugh and a touch of bovver when the lights go down. Being disabled, it a case of the Dickension child chimmney sweep pressing his cold nose of the window of the sweetshop. I must take another hit of Vallium or I might get maudlin.

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
What ever the Tax payer has to pay will be far out weighed by the money bought into the economy due to the wedding.
Bit of a boring argument really since they have always bought in more that it's cost's to run the Royal's. |

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I'll be watching it.. might even take a trip into London.. I was there for the Golden Jubilee and loved the atmosphere..
I'm amazed at how many people seem so grumpy about this when you're not gonna stop it so might as well enjoy the spirit of the event ;) |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Well all those souvenirs of the day and event will be helping to employ someone,lots of someones and hopefully a fair few will be from this country.I get an extra holiday(and anyone who has to work will hopefully get paid a little extra for doing so) which is a good thing in my list of good and nice things that can happen this month.
In a time of cutbacks and a huge worldwide recession this is an event that can take off the edge for one short day.Why not just take it as a bonus day off and chill?:shrug: |

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
It's ridiculous how we've got to the stage where a flag or even being British is offensive to some people.

Regrettable and unfortunate yes, but it's not simply "ridiculous" when you look at the reasons behind some of the stated positions. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
It's because it's became widely accepted that if you want to be offended by something then someone will take notice of your objection.
we've allowed it to get to that stage, and there's no turning back. other than to say get stuffed with your being offended. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011

I agree, all this causing offense if BS. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Quote:
To address instances of offence being caused as a result of overt showings of nationalism one answer (at least one which has had a positive effect of reducing offence caused and offence taken) has been the enforcement of the Flags and Emblems Act which had dramatic positive effects here in Northern Ireland (at that time the most sectarian divided civilization in the West) when it banned the display of national flags (whether British or Irish) in workplaces and other certain public areas. On that basis alone nobody can deny that the removal of national flags from workplaces where there are mixed denominations / religions and creeds has worked. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I have no problem with it, it's tradition and all that
But I won't be watching it or celebrating :P |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Muslims Against Crusades has just announced they will not be protesting at the Royal Wedding and have asked all muslims to stay away from the wedding..
Hmm! I hope that isn't as ominous as it sounds to me.:erm: |

Has anyone found a wallet dropped by a gentleman of middle eastern appearance and been told to stay away from London on Friday? :Yikes:

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Oh I do love a wedding, I am not a royalist/ anti royalist, but I shall be watching tomorrow. I think Kate will make a very beautiful bride, I can visualise her wearing a fitted gown with with long train (she has a beautiful figure). They are very much in love that is obvious, and I for one will be raising a toast for their future happiness together! Bearing in mind also that this is a very historic occasion as Wills is going to be our future King. Will you be watching also I wonder? :)
|
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I shall have the TV switched on and dare say that I will be drawn into watching some of the proceedings but I have friends coming and the wedding will be taking second place to my guests.
I do hope the weather is kind to them though as it will make the whole spectacle so much better for all the people who are expected to travel to the capital. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Natalie informs me they are showing it live on tv in South Afrca so she's going to sit and watch it there.
I'm probably not going to bother. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
The Mrs and I will be going to a 'Non Wedding Party'
Good company, nice food and of course some nice drinks :) |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
So you'll be celebrating not celebrating?

This is the future King and Queen of England we`re talking about here. Best Of British to them both, May they Live long Happy Lives together.:):):tu:

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I've just been watching the wedding for an hour or so, and it looks fantastic in full HD! London looks so clean, It makes me proud to be British.
Oh dear, I've got something in my eye.... ;o( Forget the Royal Sick Bag... I need tissues! Mens Tissues. |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
A bit of useless trivia :D
The stage manager of The X Factor will oversee television coverage. Diccon Ramsay, 27, will “cue” Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey. Prince Harry is considered a safe pair of hands by bookmakers, with Ladbrokes offering odds as long as 100/1 that he will drop the ring. Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, will give Prince William and Kate Middleton a tandem “Boris bike” An unidentified gambler has bet £6,000 that Kate Middleton will wear a Russian fringe tiara borrowed from the Queen. A £6,000 bet at odds of 12-1 was placed at Ladbrokes in Ascot, Berks, on the tiara, which was made in 1919 for Queen Mary. The country’s largest rail union, the RMT, will keep its head office in London open during Friday’s bank holiday because it opposes the monarchy. The staff could choose whether or not to work, a union spokesman added. The odds on the Duke of Edinburgh falling asleep at the service were cut to 8/1 by William Hill. It is one of the firm’s most popular bets. more here |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
It's all a bit sickening, bombastic and pretentious really.
Ah well, if it makes people happy. I'm sure our street party later will be fun :) |

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I think the wedding was lovely (if not a bit long!) and Kate's dress was classy as expected, although a little daring (Madonna like across the bust) and famously see-through across the shoulders. Her sister looked like she'd spent too long in the fake bake booth, but her dress was amazing and very flattering to her shape.
I was a little disappointed they didn't jump on a harley and drive off in the sunset, but the aston martin was a nice touch :) |
Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
Well, I think we can safely say there isn't another nation on Earth that can put on a show as well as that. Hollywood would spend millions on a thousand takes and still not end up with anything that looked as good.
Even if you have absolutely no affection whatsoever for the royal family and our constitution, you have to admit, you can't buy the sort of positive publicity for our great country that today's events have brought. And, to top it all, a couple that are obviously very much in love have tied the knot and are starting life together. Wonderful. :) |

Re: The Royal Wedding 2011
I'm glad to see the day went well and they both looked very happy.
That said I think its important that the behind the scenes work that went on to make sure the day passed off incident free for the royals and the visting dignitaries should not be understated. The task was a thankless one but Britain has its heroes such as Craig Phillips to thank for the smooth running of the day. The UK owes him, in particular, an incredible debt of gratitude for his selfless bravery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCvqNsaZAJU |
