Royal Wedding

[difflock]

I do keep reminding myself that a lot of the over done stomach churning  BBC saturation coverage,

is hard nosed commercially driven by the associated tourism revenue generated for GB PLC

Which is good.

At least here in N I it is easy to escape the hype if one so wishes, simply go stay in an overtly republican area, and/or drink in republican pubs.

Or, on the day, attend our local North West 200 motorbike race.

But I rather spend the day in the fruit garden listening to the birdsong.

Simples!

If you're not interested in Harry's wedding fine, but don't be pouring scorn on the occasion because you might be a little jealous..

 

If you are a bit jealous then thats OK, I suppose it must really grate when someone like Harry and Meghan get all the attention when you and your marriage attracted none

 

 

I just think she’s plainly as fake as the come vesp, I couldn’t be less jealous.  My girlfriend on the other hand....?

Hahahaha, not jealous or bitter I just don’t give a toss. I’ve been happily married for 14 yrs and have a nice small business I’ve created from nothing and two healthy children, couldn’t ask for anything else or would change anything. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

That seems an eminently sensible use for the day

 Oh right . Of course . Silly me !

It’s FA cup final day so I’ll be switching between the two.
 
Good luck to them.

Surely the wedding will be done and dusted by the time FA cup starts at 17:15

Wish them no malice and hope it all works out for them. As for tv coverage they should have put it on pay per view.....see how many watched it then!

Yea well I haven't developed any opinions on her yet.  I'm sure those can wait till at least after the wedding..  meanwhile I'm taking Saturday off to watch all the excitement an analysis by every commentator I can get my hands on..  

 

and a thumbs up for your girlfriend, at least she has the right attitude for the big day..   Its a royal wedding, everyone should be looking forward to it like me and your misses..    those are for the misses..    good girl.
