hon, we really don't care. Love them or hate them, we're not precious about them. Take the piss all you want -we do. Same with politicians.

I saw a television interview of people on the street here who were asked if they were going to celebrate the wedding and one person simply replied "We won the war, we don't have to do that."

I'm a bit of an anglophile. It's not that I'm ,like, mad about the royal wedding or anything...I just don't give a crud about big weddings and all the hoopla. I don't particularly believe in fairies or their tales.

Kate is beautiful. Prince looks like a perfect cross between his mom and dad...retaining some of his dad's features but those are calmed by the features of his so pretty mom.

I guess they never had a chance to just elope! Canteloupe tonight, dad's got the carriage!

Well no wonder, they shoulda tried pumpkin.

Ba DUM dum! :)

Margaritas!

and vodka!

and single malt

and a bucket!

A bucket of what?

Well I went out today and spent more than I should on our "wedding breakfast".
Mum's friend is coming over and one of the neighbours is dropping in. I just went a bit overboard.

Anyway, I saw some things on Mum's shopping list and said she didn't have to buy them as I'd bought plenty.

She asked to see what I'd bought, which I hadn't shown her when I came home in case she told me off (I only seem to realise afterwards!) But no criticism from her. In fact she said "Oh I'll still get another bag of salad. And some ham for your Dad. And do you want me to get some more bread?"

I guess I know where I got the overfeeding people gene from.

I'm really looking forward to it now!
Although I admit it mostly for the drinks and the yummy-yums :yum:

My son found out at dinner last night that his mom and sister are going to a party starting at 5:30am tomorrow for the royal wedding, and he and I are not invited. He's actually upset about it. When I explained that they were just going to be sitting around and drinking tea and eating scones and watching the wedding on tv, he got even more upset. I was kind of surprised about that, but then I remembered that he went to tea around Christmas time with his grandmother and cousins, and really enjoyed himself. Sleeping until a normal hour and hanging out with me at home until his bus comes sounds like a rip off to him. So my wife is going to wake him up when she leaves tomorrow, and he's going to watch the wedding on TV by himself until I get up. I bet I wind up watching the damn thing too.

There were graphics of the church in this morning's paper. With a little infographic thing next to it of the timeline. It's going to take something like 4 minutes to walk down the aisle. Wtf? Why do I need to know this?

"It's pronounced "BOUQUET".

to fill time, glatt.
