21 April 2011 08:17102772Today's Times sums it and made my day.
I wasn't going to get an OBE anyway!
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 21 April 2011 08:22102774Gawd! I feel a bit like that. Im trying hard to get into this wedding thing but my corpuscles are not responding. Wimmin everywhere are going mad for it....but at the very mention of Kate and William I let out an inner scream and lunge for the off button.
The picture is great, a variation on Munch's The Scream of course.
no OBE for you Terry!email: dover7@msn.com - 21 April 2011 08:32102776It can't be long before you become President of the Democratic State of The London Road though Terry! After that you can do what you please!
- 21 April 2011 08:32102777Ha ha ha, love it. I think a lot of people feel that way!
- 21 April 2011 08:45102780Is there a Royal Wedding? They kept that quiet............
- 21 April 2011 09:10102785My view is thus
1. They are a young couple doing something that most forumites have done and that's fall in love and are getting married. I wish them well.
2. I fully understand that as a Royal couple they have a public duty to perform. They probably hate the pomp and ceremony as much as we do and would love nothing better than to elope.
3. What I hate is the commercial aspect where countries from around the world are trying to make a quick buck out of it by selling any old tat as memorobilia.
4. What I hate are the tv channels vying for our attention for the big day so that they can reap the advertizing rewards.
5. What I hate is that regardless of our personal circumstances,the current air of doom and gloom we are all expected to suddenly forget all our troubles and become a happy clappy united country. Rollocks.
6.What I hate is different organisations government bodies and the sycophantic clingers on all trying to outdo each other by buying the 'best' wedding gift.
7. Finally, what I love is the fact that the boozers will open until the early hours.

Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 21 April 2011 09:43102794Marek I take it you wont be rushing out to get these classy paper cups from ALDI
just 99p per pack....
Hold the phone, you can even get matching paper plates at the same knock down price. Dont say we dont enrich yer loife around here with the latest info hot off the wire!
email: dover7@msn.com - 21 April 2011 09:49102796Only because it infuriated my tory forumite mates, here's another chance to view my morning star mugs
The front reads" "You're only falling for this crap because you're being screwed by the Tories again" and the back reads: "Just merchandised" and features the Morning Star logo.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 21 April 2011 09:55102798I dont entirely disagree with Marek.
I have no more than a passing interest in the wedding and I wish them well. I hope they have a successful marraige and that she will one day be a first rate queen supporting her king.... - 21 April 2011 09:59102800Wills and Kate will celebrate
as often loving couples do
their bill of fair tres elaborate
with voice-over and camera crew
a national day of enforced idleness
for too many this'll be nothing new
as one little girl becomes princess
the dreams of few others come true
how jealous the world is of our royalty
and of our derring- and our making-do
of our pomp and our earnest frivolity
of our oak and our red, white and blue
incessant, the build-up to these nuptials
all mugs, bling and bunting, quite a to-do
where in all this are we the mere mortals
I say roll-on the honeymoon, don't you?Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - Terry Nunn

21 April 2011 15:53102843right thats it enough is enough i defitnly going fishing on that w*************g day,might make it to calias to stand on the end of the pier.paulb how much did you say those day trip tickets cost.
- 21 April 2011 16:01102847 Brian P&O have introduced a price level for foot passngers of just £2
There is further info on the frontpage about it in a press release, you may have to scroll back a page or two now but its there. I think I might revamp that press release again as it is of real interest ot our members and readers generally. A good bargain so it is..reminiscent of the old days of duty free..remember them!?

21 April 2011 16:10102852In todays society of all in it together
maybe it's time to look at the cost of the royal family and all the hangers on right down to the 98th aunty
sure if costs were known different viewpoints of the royal wedding might be hadALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 22 April 2011 10:04102979Royalty maybe costs a lot but it sure brings a lot of revenue to Britain. The tourists lap it up.
