The Royal Wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a more serious note, saw on the news last night that protesters are planning to try and ruin the day, Islamic protesters at that!!!! We share our Country with them and this is the thanks we get!!!!!

Why would they do that ?
I'm not that bothered about the wedding to be honest.
So I have the attitude take it or leave it.
I would like to see the bride and the open carriage trip .
But I'm not interested in the rest.
But take away all the hype and it's still a young couples wedding day.
Why would anyone want to spoil that and use it for their own means as some kind of political protest.
Some people are very selfish.

 

I'm at work Friday, I'll miss it, am I upset.:D

10.00 till 12.00 great time for shopping, they willl all be empty.

 

I will be watching the wedding at my daughters Friday evening, I have no tv. She will record it so we can cut out a lot of the hype.

I read a lot of history and no matter what people think this is part of it and part of our heritage. We haven't got a lot left in this country to be proud of (the Great has gone out of Britain) but we still have our Royal family and pageantry and I applaud that.

Having said that, we also have Zara and Mike's wedding to look forward to. That will be interesting, being on a much smaller scale. For those of you who are interested, I have a feeling Zara may choose something more diverse for a wedding gown. Slap my wrists if I'm wrong!

 

Zara is Princess Ann's Daughter who is to be married I believe around July.
But this will be a very low key family wedding.

 

Is it also BANK HOLYDAY ?
Hope for that. So you can thank the Royal Weddings for not going to work... :-)
(And it is also a good Weekend: Friday-Saturday-Sunday... Great to fly a low-cost to a summer resort !
If three days are not enough, just ask your boss for a one or two days-off...)

 

I am up for this wedding,something joyful is happening to our country and the world knows it....How great is that?
It's proberbly not a bloke thing for us to rave over this sort of thing.........but.....This is good,believe me.
God bless them both :thumb:.

 

Clearly the thought of it upsets you, but with respect you are allowing the actions of perhaps 10 or 20 people- in a country of more than 60 million- to smear an entire community. Dont believe their hype, they were never going to do this, they were looking for publicity. And moreover, since most of the Muslims Against Crusades group were more than likely born in Britain (2nd/ 3rd generation) Im not clear about what they are supposed to be thanking us for?

Dont forget you also share your country with the 200 republicans who marched through a Londonderry cemetery earlier in the week openly threatening to kill police men and accusing our Head of State of war crimes.

Its probably best not to allow our prejudices to get in the way of facts, especially on a forum when you have no idea about the background of the people you are speaking to.

 

We're all geared up for this! Central London looks AMAZING and we have a lovely lunch planned for tomorrow.

Ive got all the time in the world for William, he and his brother are engaging and well adjusted.
Its Kate Im luke warm about- she's near enough 30 years old and has done very little. Its so peculiar. A privileged and expensive education at some of the finest establishments in the country- Kate had the whole world open to her and she did nothing with it. What has she done since graduation?

Its certainly considered strange amongst my own peer group, we're all professionally qualified (or well on the way to being) and we're much younger than her. I confess to being slightly disappointed in Kate's lack of ambition, she found her man and latched on. Its only protocol that stopped her being referred to as a WAG.
The Press mocked Sophie Wessex (and more recently Prince Andrew ) for using her connections to improve her business- but at least she could support herself.

However the people sniping at the Middleton family, making much sport of their 'low' connections :roll eyes: have revealed themselves to be horrible, petty snobs.

 

Surprise, surprise - the protest is off.

Royal wedding: Muslim extremists call off protest - mirror.co.uk

The protestors apparently carried a banner calling Prince William a 'modern day Nazi'. I thought it was Harry who enjoyed dressing up as a Nazi. Perhaps they've got their princes mixed up.

Anyway, it's all off because the safety of protestors has to be considered. The crowd might turn nasty. Nothing more deadly than an irate granny who has slept rough outside Westminster Abbey for a week, is armed with a giant holdall and rolled umbrella and is in danger of missing out on her one glimpse of a fairytale princess.
