As you know I am usually of a sunny and optimistic disposition , but I bash the crap out of it, too. How I escaped commuting into work for years without getting nicked for ABH with intent I do NOT know. Rush hour through London whether by car or train or bus would make even Mother Theresa's bits twitch.

 

I'm not against the wedding. Read my posts. 

What I am griping about is the clogged up TV schedules featuring more and more ridiculously vague royal wedding themed programmes with distantly related Middletons and "royal correspondents" trotting out the same old crap. Being assailed by tackier and tackier shop promotions and assaulted by ever more frequent adverts about 28 hour coverage of the big day...

 

I'm a republican so William being a future king is meaningless to me but I'd not begrudge him or Ms Middleton a lovely day. I might even take a quick peek at the dress but then again I may be too busy sorting out my daughter's birthday party. 

I watch a lot of TV. Obviously I'm aware that there is a wedding going on but .............................I really don't feel OD'd on it - I watch what I waTch ................we all (presumably ) have a remote control. If you don't want to watch wedding stuff - switch over. TBH - it really hasn't irritated or impinged on my viewing habits in any way, shape or form. I think some people like to have a moan.

Gotta agree. I thought there'd be loads more on the wedding. Hardly anyone on my facebook is talking about it, and I've managed to avoid most of the newsprint on it (even though I read most of the daily papers inc. the Mail). I've watched a couple of the special programmes. One of them was a mickey take the other night with a comedian called Lee Kern (he's done some stuff on BB) and I just had to record the Gawd-awful 'Will and Kate' movie. It really is so bad it's almost good. I had to see it for myself.

I'm not a republican. Yet again, on a my enemy's enemy is my friend basis

(damn this phone/my clumsy fingers) If Murdoch and his arsehole republican pals are against the royal family then one assumes that the Windsor family has some sort of merit.

I heard that

Even a disgraceful excuse for a human being like the Dirty Digger can be right occasionally!

I've just been looking at the TV schedules for tomorrow.  Is it really necessary to have blanket coverage from 8 am on BBC1 AND ITV?    And that's apart from all the other wedding-related crap on Living, and changes to the schedules on ITV2.  Every news bulletin on the radio so far today has featured the riveting news from the preparations - does anyone really care that they have now had the 27th rehearsal for tomorrow? 

And so far today alone (and it's only 10.30), I've had 16 emails from companies offering me 'royal wedding specials' if I buy from them tomorrow.  It seems there is no escape at all. 

 exactly

 

They moan about it being crowded and hot...at least they're standing on summat that's moving!

Bad luck Growly!  I've only got one, from iTunes - an 'official' Royal Wedding Program.

 

I don't know why people give house room to that tat.  It's like the middle aged equivalent of putting up Justin Beiber or football club branded tat.

 

 

You won't convince us Saz. The transport system is superior. My favourite bit is where one can arrive at Kings X, walk through bright, airy corridors to St Pancras, alight a Eurostar, and get the fook oot er it.

 

^^ Me on the bus on the way home last night

In fairness, it is a lot more frequent - tubes every 1-3 mins in rush hour and 10 mins is a long wait for a bus. It's just all those other people that spoil it

Bunting and flags have appeared festooning the house near us. The extremely sociable family have invited us and the next generations to a party. There will even be sack, three legged, and egg n spoon races on the field. I fear that it may turn out to be a dog shit slalom. My office overlooks the field and while Dog Owners talk a good game about removing "material" trust me, if they think no-one is looking, they don't. I could have made a film! Life's too short. Nevertheless we shall attend, and due to the family's reputation for fine alcohol, one will probably get wrecked.

My hubby laughed out loud when I read him your post, Joe.
