The Royal Wedding

[Coldicote]

No disrespect meant to William and Kate and I wish them every happiness, but the media hype leading up to their wedding has really gone 'over the top' and I shall be glad when it's all over. How do you feel about it? The next thing will be the 2012 Olympics - perhaps a good time to hibernate?

doesn't matter how many times I try and read that sentence all I can see is "Don't forget that next year there is also an extra bank holiday"

i think it's great...lots of tradition, celebration and the dress!!!! i will be watching all day friday - banished to my bedroom as mr kicker is refusing to watch one second of it. i have also bought myself a lovely silver black and white cz trinket like kate's engagement ring. it came in the post today and looks lovely...my mum always said i was a bit of a magpie when it comes to jewellery. a little treat for myself for working hard and raking in the overtime! x

That Royal Wedding spoof video is just wonderful! Thank you for letting me see it. Now forMike111111111 give or take a few. HM Queen Mary was not a kleptomaniac or thief. She just put gentle pressure on p;eople, e.g. on spotting a desired bit of Faberge she would sigh over it, tell her hostess how wonderful it would look in the place she had in mind for it at Buckingham Palace/Windsor/Wherever and keep going back to it. "My heart positively covets it" she would say. If that didn1t work she`d turn up the nextmorning with her parasol (never carried a handbag) and tell the hostess she couldn`t sleep - tossing and turning all night, frettig over this vital gap in the royal collection. And if the hostess was still obdurate, one week later she would turn up again to tell the hostess,regretfully, that the Royal social contacts were getting so very full she had the painful task of culling them and ................ Within a few minutes, HM would depart with the knick-knack which the hostess had suddenly decided she could, after all, live without. That or social ostracism. That1s not stealing, is it? I do believe the present Queen has discreetly been returning a number of items thus acquired by her formidable granny. I, of course would never dream of doing such a thing, but then I was far too busy giving birth to 13 horrible children.
