Am I alone here? Every effing time I turn the telly on there are adverts for the wedding, programmes about other royal weddings, programmes about the royal family, news articles about the bloody thing...not to mention being bombarded by union flag paper plates, cups, serviettes paper napkins and similar crap every time I set foot in Tesco.

 

For me the idea of watching the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family in fancy dress in a church is only mildly less pleasurable that having my fingernails pulled...OK, so I'm a republican and an aetheist but that aside my tolerance levels are now pretty much all used up.

I agree, Cariad. They're boiling my piss at the moment. I can understand it's a Royal wedding and it's historic and pomp and circumstance and bla bla bla but I'm only interested in her frock and the cut of the men's suits. I give not a toss as to how they polish the friggin silverware or watching the horses noses getting shaved and everytime I turn the telebox on or open a magazine they're there beaming at me. The whole thing's growing on me like a wart.

 

The one difference between this wedding and Diana's though is that at least these 2 look happy, but the memorabilia I've seen hasn't been too clever. Someone on here said the official coin made Kate look like a 50 year old puffy faced post-alcoholic

It gets some fresh-ish genes into a pampered, inbred, German, prematurely baldy, mad, racist family then it can't be too bad.

 

Actually, it can, and it is! I'm doing my best to ignore the sycophantic hard sell of Royalism. 

 

I quite a agree, carpet, time to make sure your TV recording device of choice is full to the brim with films, your box set orders are at least in the post and you've got your DVD hire membership card, just in case.

You're going to get them rammed down your throat until you give in and like them!

I must be lucky cause I haven't seen any TV ads. But then I don't do normal TV. I have however seen the tat they are selling in the supermarkets. I don't know when it is & I don't care. I think it is all a farce & will be found out in time. I like that we have royalty in this country & that we pay them respect but believe that's where payment should end. Cause I reckon this is costing more than it would cost to save 100 needed schools.

The other thing I normally say......... There really is no point in attacking the Royal Family whilst supporting Murdoch's bunch and consistently voting in Thatcherite government after Thatcherite government. One really needs to get a sense of perspective. In terms of harm the Windsors are somewhere alongside Imogen, cycle lanes, and Ronaldo.

I could be talking bollocks of, course.

Fabric, not lace....Napkins are fabric.....lace would let the dropped food stuff fall through the ickle holes......Serviettes are paper.....and can be used in an emergency as a tissue......

I don't mind him and her, they seem refreshingly down to earth  (now, God knows what's gonna happen to her when she marries in) and seem to actually want to get married - it's just all the crap that comes with it!

I support none of those with a passion, but I quite liked Imogen on BB7 and don't mind cycle lanes as long as no one expects me to use one.  Ronaldo, hmm, one of the benefits of following a club that's barely sniffed the Premiership since 1996, the career of Ronaldo has mostly passed me by.

I don't mind them, they're only human beings, after all.  I just don't agree with the institution of the monarchy nor do I agree with the rampant royalist sycophancy/propaganda that's being rammed down our throats.

Again, what I said but in a tidier and more concise format. Thanks MATE

Ohhhh your all looking at it the wrong way!!!! I was snearing at the bunting and the faux cake stands with kates face on it until i realised, with a bit of thought,  it could be great

 

So im having a party, Lots of day time drinking (gin and toinic in tea pots) and everyone has to come dressed as Princess Di (or at least a member of the royal family, with pearls or a tiara)

 

all of a sudden im really looking forward to it and im decking my house, the car and the rabbits in bunting

 That was mean was'nt it    

No

 

The ginger one who we don't know if Charles is the dad or not has got attitude, I like him.

 

The older one who's getting hitched has got the classic Windsor horse genes complete with egg shaped head. And I'd be proper pissed off if my hair was receding at his age, he's only 20 summat isn't he? I think his future missus is stunning, though.

 Surely the Jeremy Kyle would have sorted out the DNA for the Ginger one by now tho

Or do you think undercover peeps are keeping it undercover.....and not telling the Sun or Heat about it? 

 

It's weird cos I look at the fella and think hmmmm he looks a bit Windsory I suppose but then I look at him again and think hmmmm he looks a bit like that James bloke who Diana had her leg over with around the same time she got preggers (can't remember his surname). The boy looks nothing like Diana, though

Oh I do like you

Karma_

I'm like Karma and just want to see the dresses etc and who looks a complete nonsense and who looks great, I can't wait to see what the Beckhams will wear for example

 

As for the memorabilia well I can honestly say that I haven't really taken any notice on it. I did notice that Pet's world was selling union jack stuff for animals because "they like to party too"

 

What I am looking forward to is another long weekend off work, So I am grateful to them for that,

I agree - I think William is a deeply unattractive man, and he's inherited the very worst features of both of his parents.  I think Kate Middleton is very pretty, by far the most attractive woman to join the royal family in living memory.  But the wedding hype is driving me to distraction too, and I couldn't be less interested in watching it.   I'm planning on going out for the day and I hope everywhere will be as quiet as on the day of Diana's funeral; I've never seen the roads as quiet, and everywhere was deserted.

I don't really care one way or another... I've not watched anything on telly about it, but I'll probaby watch on the day   - for much the same reasons as Karms.   I'm just looking forward to long weekends on the trot.     My sis is all hyped about it wants me to go watch it with her, but if she thinks I'm getting dressed that early on a day off she can think again!   The only person I know who's excited about it my mate's teenage daughter - she's mad about Spice Girls and she's going to be on Victoria Beckham watch the whole time.

Well, I'm sure they will, but even though my life's not the most exciting, I still find it difficult to get any vicarious joy from two people I've never met, will never meet, have no interest in wallowing in state funded affluence.  Surely your life has to be pretty empty to really care about this? 

 

Might as well get as worked up about Katie Price's next marital adventure as William and Kate.
