Price?

BOGOF now.

A bargain.

Sounds like hell on earth. 

Have to say, speaking from experience, that the 'Royal bashers' are always the same kind of people IMO: very left-wing, (No) and totally 'anti-establishment,' (not TOTALLY) and they hate ANYthing to do with the Royal family, (I'm a republican but I don't hate the Windsors, just find them rather pointless)  and they can't do right for doing wrong in their eyes....  They are often the feminist 'grow your own food' (goodness can't be arsed with all that, thank goodness for Aldi) and 'cook-from-scratch' type, (well I try but occasionally I give up and feed the kids pizza) who treat anyone that owns a microwave and gives their kids more than three mcdonalds a year, as appalling parents, (I'm an appalling parent ...) and think people are thick scum if they read the Sun Newspaper...(**dithers** )

They also hate Valentines and often anything romantic or 'soft,' and think that anyone who has an engagement ring that cost more than fifty quid is 'materislistic' and probably has no soul.....  And they also hate Christmas.... They refuse to buy anything for anyone for Christmas, because it's 'too commercialised,' (not thinking that you can still buy for people without spending a lot...!!! )  it just makes them feel 'cool' by saying Christmas is shit.  It's so anti-establishment you see, to hate Christmas, just like hating the Royal family is! Nope...not the same at all .. and that's speaking as an aetheist. 

They also insist that the new millenium began at the start of 2001, JUST to go against the grain and the masses,(well technically it did but that didn't stop me having a ball on 31/12/99) and they hate celebrity magazines,(loathe them)  and mainstream celebrities, and think people who read or look at those type if mags are brainless scum and chavs. (I think there are better things to read, like cereal packets if you're pushed)  They would never admit to liking lady gaga or s club 7 or the A list Hollywood stars, only Joni Mitchell and Lou Reed, and French actors nobody has heard of, from obscure movies from the 1980s.... Also, they hate really funny modern-day comedians and say they are shit, and claim that old fashioned 1950s 'comedy' like Peter Cook and Spike Milligan is 'real' comedy. (You're on a complete roll with the over  generalisations now aren't you?) They would NEVER shop in regular high street stores...and only go to farm shops and tiny little independent shops for their clothes and household goods.... (I wish I had the money to afford that ...tis Aldi and Peacocks here) And say people who DO shop in regular high street stores are brainless drones.....  And I re-iterate; they detest and pour scorn over anyone who doesn't follow their beliefs.  Sound like some people you may know/know of?    I certainly know a few people like this... Thinking they are cool and 'hip' by being so anti-establishment and slagging off the Royals!

Can someone summarise that long post.  I don't want to read it all.

You're a dick ... to summarise. 

LOL well said Cagney and Suzybean.  I am sick and tired of people whingeing about the Royal wedding and bitching about the Royal family.  Don't bloody watch the wedding if you don't want to... it's as simple as that.  Plenty of people want to....As someone said, many people have not seen a wedding like this before, and it makes them proud and patrotic...  There always has to be a few Royal bashers though.... There aren't that many in my life though, as my family and friends are very old fashioned, patriotic, Royal loving Brits and we are ALL looking forward to it.  It's just the odd person or two that I know at work that has a real downer on it, and a couple of my snotty nosed neighbours who are refusing to join in with all the celebrations.  Grumpy old gits! 

Years ago, when me and two of my colleagues said that we like Princess Di, a couple of people at work slaughtered us, and told us why we should NOT like her, and that the Royal family were scum, and a waste of space and a waste of taxpayers money.... (THEIR opinion of course, and not a fact.)  Have to say, speaking from experience, that the 'Royal bashers' are always the same kind of people IMO: very left-wing, and totally 'anti-establishment,' and they hate ANYthing to do with the Royal family, and they can't do right for doing wrong in their eyes....  They are often the feminist 'grow your own food' and 'cook-from-scratch' type, who treat anyone that owns a microwave and gives their kids more than three mcdonalds a year, as appalling parents, and think people are thick scum if they read the Sun Newspaper...

hilarious cupcake. don't know where that all came from but without using a cheezebugger cat or a lame attempt at sardonic humour you made me laff my head off. don't have to agree with anything you said, but that was brilliant 

now lets think which Alter IDER you are again. its on the tip of my tongue.

Cupcake....

I understand your frustration. But actually we all live our lives how we want to.

In the scheme of things, as long as you and yours do what you want and are allowed to do it, does it matter what everyone else does?

Is IDER an anagram?

does it matter what everyone else does?

I think as far as this forum is concerned it does. 

Issy - you could take everything you just posted and what Cupcake posted and it amounts to the same thing. There are just some people in life who will NEVER be happy. No matter what happens it's always negative. Some people are just miserable 

not enough letters to make suzybean? 

LOL well said Cagney and Suzybean.  I am sick and tired of people whingeing about the Royal wedding and bitching about the Royal family.  Don't bloody watch the wedding if you don't want to... it's as simple as that.  Plenty of people want to....As someone said, many people have not seen a wedding like this before, and it makes them proud and patrotic... Why are they proud?  What's to be pround of, two wealthy people getting married.  Are you proud of Katie Price, when she get's married? There always has to be a few Royal bashers though.... There aren't that many in my life though, as my family and friends are very old fashioned, patriotic, What's patriotic about supporting feudalism and opposing greater democratic accountablity? Royal loving Brits and we are ALL looking forward to it. I wish you lot would fund it yourselves!  It's just the odd person or two that I know at work that has a real downer on it, and a couple of my snotty nosed neighbours who are refusing to join in with all the celebrations.  Grumpy old gits! 

Years ago, when me and two of my colleagues said that we like Princess Di, a couple of people at work slaughtered us, and told us why we should NOT like her, and that the Royal family were scum, and a waste of space and a waste of taxpayers money.... (THEIR opinion of course, and not a fact.)  Have to say, speaking from experience, that the 'Royal bashers' are always the same kind of people IMO: very left-wing, Rupert Murdoch is a republican, he's not left wing.  There's a side to right wing thinking that says that there's no such thing as a free lunch, the royals are on the fattest free lunch going  and totally 'anti-establishment,' Well they would be, as the monarchy heads the establishment  and they hate ANYthing to do with the Royal family, and they can't do right for doing wrong in their eyes.... That's because they hardly do anything right

From this point you just go on to throw every Daily Mail hack inspired stereotype in the book into the mix to create 'type' you imagine anti-monarchists to be - so you can hate them more.  I'll take your stereotypes and reverse them so you can see how ridiculous you sound.

They are often the feminist 'grow your own food'  and 'cook-from-scratch' type, who treat anyone that owns a microwave and gives their kids more than three mcdonalds a year, as appalling parents, and think people are thick scum if they read the Sun Newspaper...

Royalists are often sexists who live on TV dinners, they instinctively distrust those who they see as do-gooders and are the types who bring chips to schools so their kids don't have to eat any broccoli.  They see anyone who doesn't like the Sun as pretentious and snooty.

They also hate Valentines and often anything romantic or 'soft,' and think that anyone who has an engagement ring that cost more than fifty quid is 'materislistic' and probably has no soul.....  And they also hate Christmas.... They refuse to buy anything for anyone for Christmas, because it's 'too commercialised,' (not thinking that you can still buy for people without spending a lot...!!! )  it just makes them feel 'cool' by saying Christmas is shit.  It's so anti-establishment you see, to hate Christmas, just like hating the Royal family is! 

[Sorry, the valentine's comment is just too stupid to parody].  They love the commercialisation of Christmas and getting pissed, but they also love to moan about councils that don't send Christian themed cards, because they 'don't know the true Christian meaning of Xmas'.

They also insist that the new millenium began at the start of 2001, JUST to go against the grain and the masses, and they hate celebrity magazines, and mainstream celebrities, and think people who read or look at those type if mags are brainless scum and chavs. 

Again, too absurd to parody.  I think you'll find the fiercely royalist Horse and Hound set and blue rinse Tory types hate celebrity magazines and would be the first to describe the people who read those magazines as brainless scum and chavs.

They would never admit to liking lady gaga or s club 7 Yeah, that's because they probably aren't under 12 years old!  . or the A list Hollywood stars, only Joni Mitchell and Lou Reed, and French actors nobody has heard of, from obscure movies from the 1980s.... Also, they hate really funny modern-day comedians and say they are shit, and claim that old fashioned 1950s 'comedy' like Peter Cook and Spike Milligan is 'real' comedy. 

Peter Cook and Spike Milligan are like chalk and cheese - Prince Charles is a big Goon Show fan, so where does that leave him?  Peter Cook was a satirist most active in the 1960s, but also through to the 1980s and very popular with the early 80s alternative comedians.  "Derek and Clive Get The Horn" with Dudley Moore, (70s early 80s) is full of expletives and was banned on TV.  In that respect, it was well ahead of its time.  If you think Peter Cook is a 1950s comedian, you really don't have a clue who he was.

Who are these really funny modern day comedians? 

They would NEVER shop in regular high street stores...and only go to farm shops and tiny little independent shops for their clothes and household goods.... And say people who DO shop in regular high street stores are brainless drones..... 

Yeah, that's a tired old Daily Mail stereotype of the predominantly middle class urban left wing.  I think you'll find there's plenty of people in the working class who oppose the monarchy.

And I re-iterate; they detest and pour scorn over anyone who doesn't follow their beliefs.  Sound like some people you may know/know of?    I certainly know a few people like this... Thinking they are cool and 'hip' by being so anti-establishment and slagging off the Royals!

Your five or so paragraphs clearly show that you detest and scorn anyone who doesn't support the monarchy.  You apply generalist stereotypes you've read in the Daily Mail, so it's easier for you to hate them.  Look up circular reasoning.

Well we have a huge marquee ordered for the bottom field. Hog roast and lots of other delicious food. It's all free and everyone's welcome. Even you miserable shytes are invited!    Rule Brittania   

Personally, if I'm going to celebrate something, I think it's a good idea for it be something that actually influences my life and I give a damn about.  Likewise, I won't be celebrating Britney Spear's next marriage.  I will raise a few glasses when Thatcher dies, though!

It does not surprise me in the least that you came out with this rather nasty vindictive comment  (in bold..   )  All I will say is that I think I hit a few raw nerves with my post from yesterday, judging by the time you must have spent pulling my post apart and commenting on every last little bit of it...  

It's hilarious how defensive the anti-establishment Royal-bashers are LOL, and well as damn grumpy!  Take a few chill pills people... you'll live longer!!!

I lived through her policies cupcake, she was a dreadful PM - nasty and vindictive to whole swathes of this country's population. 

You didn't hit any nerves, you just showed yourself up for being a bit of a, how can I put this?  "Sun" or "Daily Mail" reader type with a lot of silly, ill-informed received prejudices and assumptions.  Do you still insist that Peter Cook is a 1950s comedian?  BTW, who are these really funny modern-day comedians - Jim Davidson, perhaps?

Anitope I agree... at least I think I disagree.. or do I?  Whatever, hope you're having a nice day. 

BTW to respond and disagree and refute is one thing, but to pull apart every last square inch of someone's already long post is frankly a bit ridiculous IMO, and makes it plain to me that I have hit a raw nerve.  )  Otherwise, why go to such great lengths to respond to EVERY bit, line by line???

And to make such a nasty comment like they look forward to someones death is just plain spiteful and mean, but because it's Maggie thatcher, it's OK to wish her dead; all the lefties do it,.....   it makes them sound cool you see.   It's SO anti-establishment and left-wing!   

Sorry to diappoint you my haters and fans, but I am offline til nest Thursday now, as I am off on hols til Wednesday everning.    Nowhere exciting, just oop north to see some extended.  family.  Ta-ra.    Have a good Easter break everyone. 

Re Anitope's comments above me here..  I shan't even grace them with a response, because they are ALWAYS negative towards everything I say; and I know exactly why.    Bye bye.. I am going now.   Got packing to do.
