Robespierre, Robespierre, Robespierre....

Fetches pitchfork.

Yes get your Pitchfork that will go good for a royal weeding ... 

I've had to switch the news off,it's nauseating.

Oh no, not a Royal Wedding *disconnects BBC and Sky*

Suddenly Dora the explorer is not the most repetitive and annoying thing on telly 

I'm A Celebrity GMOOH should do a royal wedding themed bushtucker trial.  Quails Anus a la Fromaggio with Sturgeon Custard and Larks Tongues.

Or another Q word 

where's citizen smith when you want him.....*opens notebook and begins list

BBC1 news at 1.00 - 24 minutes the wedding,4 minutes other news, & 2 minutes weather forecast.

nobody's mentioned tax payer's money yet *rattles the cage*

Sky News is on it for 24 hours

Patience 

Let them entertain you

Awwwwww!...Is noone looking forward to seeing the Queen's new hat??...

I love a Royal Wedding!

I prefer elected heads of state. 

Two people getting married!  Big deal!   It's hardly like that family have a good track record for making marriages work. 

Two throwbacks to feudalism getting married to perpetuate a feudal class concept within a run down, divided and declining penny pinching right wing, warmongering dump of a country with pompous delusions of grandure.

Maybe it's been brought forward to distract us from our woes.....I'll still look at Waity Katy's frock though, even though I'll be shouting Vive La Republique  at the same time

We'll see how long it lasts once she's dropped a couple of heirs.

When you say you want a republic, which one did you have in mind? Remember no cherry picking!

The kind with no monarch and a democratically elected head of state.

What would you call yourselves?  You couldn't be the United Kingdom anymore in the eurovision

**Mutters that this is like pulling teeth**
Which one?

Probably a parliamentary one.

**phones Berlusconi**

Why not?  Cherry picking is generally exactly what you get to do when writing a new constitution. 

OK 

 agreed, I don't think I will have time till the new year but I might give it a go then 

And picking shit presidents (or the "alternatives" to a monarchy which some people seem so afraid of) doesn't really work either.  For every crap president thrown into the mix, I can give you a shite monarch.  So that avenue of argument or explanation fails.

I just wanted an example, surely you can come up with an ideal republic for us to aspire too, they've all had their chance at writing constitutions. I am quite old but have only known one monarch in the UK, a little dated but who doesn't seem to have put a foot wrong per se. We know of several others in Europe, the best of whom appears to be the King of Sweden who if I may say so has a marvellous attitude to life. We've known many presidents and apart from Clinton in the USA, who lets face it was dealt a great hand, I can't think of any wonderful ones.

Oh please this is a light hearted forum not an exam. I am not a deranged maniac with time to write down my fantasy of an ideal utopia ... well not today anyway 

Thats cos the Daily Mail brigade love a nice Royal Wedding

and recycling his mother's ring will save the country a few grand as well - they'll be happy with that 

I like them, and i like a good wedding
