I managed to avoid the whole lot of it and went shopping instead.  Unfortunatly (sp) when I got back and had a look at facebook there were step by step accounts of every bliddy movement of the wedding as all my English friends were commenting A LOT.  (Sorry if any of you are reading this but geeziz that was overkill!)  So curriosity got the better of me and I had a peek at the pics online.  She looked lovely.  Good luck to them.

In keeping with the alternativeness of it all. I'm trying to work out why Trevor Howard would leave Celia Johnson to go to the fourth reich. :?: He could have quite easily stayed, and if necessary taken out a super injuction. I know that I would.

I didn't watch it, but that was hard. I'm in work and it was on three single screens plus a bank of six screens, with the volume full on.

Cue headphones...

Did they have Super Injunctions in those days?

 

Wouldn't the Nazi's just have ignored it and frog-marched him off anyway?

Her McQueen dress was bloody amazing. Absolutely loved it. Her sister looked bloody fab, too. The mother looked smug. As for the blue blooded lot; #Grand National #miserable horsies

 

Apparently that whole thing cost around 70 million quid. I didn't particularly feel any pride at being British knowing the cost and who would be paying for it when this country is in the shits financially. If the Queen had covered the bill or even financed the majority of it that would have helped and I feel would have more than apt given the current climate. Very happy for Kate and Wills, they looked genuinely happy, but as for the realities of the whole thing, meh.

Royal Family Plc shares rose today.

 

the queen has covered the cost of the wedding, we're paying for the cost of security on the day (around 20million quid).

Have a look at my posts from last night.

Thought you were off to a neighbour's pss up?....Hope you and the missus are feeling better btw

I didn't watch it.  I don't give a stuff about them nor the propaganda-fest that goes with this celebration of the nation's most revered benefit scroungers.

No we've been in bed most of the day. Never got dressed. Too ill.

ooooooooooooh poor you. If it's your ear infection I can sympathise 100% - not nice _ I know from horrible experience.

 

Hope it gets better soon.

I love that film. I've never seen it all the way through in one sitting before. Mrs Jer had a good weep. I think that I may have got something in my eye. (see what I did there?)

I've missed you lot being ill. Get well soon GJ and Mrs. Jer.

Oh has she?! Didn't know that! Ok, I take back what I said about the old banana looking misery guts, good for her. About time she opened her purse. Well as long as the revenue generated at least doubled that of the 20 million cost then jobs a goodun. Dress and tiara of the bride 10/10. Dress of the other bird (the sister) 10/10. The vows were lovely.

 

But alas, I still have something to whinge about! Those friggin hymns. HOW long did they go on for? And why did the Windsors look so bloody miserable? If you saw Andrew's face when the pair were at the aisle he looked like he wanted to rip someone's head off. I know they're traditionally a poker faced bunch but a few smiles through the service would have been nice. And who told the panto royal Beatrice to wear that hat? It looked like she'd nicked a bit of someone's gate and sprayed it gold. Awful piece of attire

 

Fashion and how many smiles verdict: Middletons outshone the Windsors, with mother Middleton winning the prize for most smug.

Oh Christ I've only just clocked the image in blue. Is she paying homage to the Titanic?

No idea, sorry!

Some shockers in the pics.  Who tells these people they look good? 

 

Kate's sister looked lovely.

well 3 of the windsors there have done all this before only to see their big days go pear shaped. so there must have been a wiff of regret on those pews.

Have you seen the picture of Anne getting out of the car...in that purple getup?

 

A right common trollop she looked!!!!

 

 

I couldn't seem to get a larger picture.

Regret?

 

Doubt it Quinny.

  I haven't seen it but will have a look for it!

That should link you directly to the pic.

 

Be warned....it's not a pretty sight.

 

Edit - It links you to a series of picyures, you'll have to trawl through a few to get to the one of Anne - it's number 14.

yeah, you got a point. mebbes cynicism. 

Oh dear Lord have just scrolled through to Princess Anne. Looks like curtains from an old people's home. WTF was she thinking?

she never tries. she looked a holy mess at Chas n Di's wedding too. my oh gave camilla the cart horse a big thumbs up, an example of quality tailoring over substance.

We did wonder that funny enough. But it was Will and Kate's day and I just felt that regardless of the past, this was about them and the Windsors could have shrugged off a bit of the starch and softened a bit. I wouldn't marry into that family for all tea in China.

The 'thing' on her head didn't help much either!

 

Out of interest, where do you think the 'horseyness' in the family originated?

 Golden Miller  

dunno, it just seems like their teeth never stop growing. small gene pool perhaps. 

Quite interesting to see people using the redundant anti BBC argument for royal wedding costing. At max it works out £1.50 per head. Peanuts! It cost my dear wife and m'self £100 to go to a footie match last w/e.

Awwww GJ, get well soon

I don't pay any attention to that figure.  It doesn't factor in a load of royal related expenses, such as security and many other things under a threshold.

 

Even if it cost £0.01 per year, the principle of inherited unearned privilege and status is one I find repugnant.

 

People who support the monarchy have no business criticising benefit scroungers.

You wanna have a good trawl through our national economic scandals mate. The National Health Computer. I'll leave that one with you.

 Speechless.....

that was gazillions of quid worth of waste  apart from the slap up state dinners and the bentleys the queen lives quite frugally anyhow. 

Plus I think my record of never criticising people on benefit speaks for itself. Having followed recent events in t'Grauniad I can reveal that the only people more boring than those who would ram the wedding down our throats, were the ones who wouldn't shut up about how much they opposed it, wanted a Murdoch style republic, and would throw any articles in the bin. I think it brought a lot of pleasure to various people.
