Gosh you are all so serious!

Calm down, have a beer and put your feet up!


I know you all can't wait for the Royal wedding tomorrow!

Royal what ? When ?

Don't tell me. I doubt I could manage to squeeze out a nano drop of care.

I am sure you are a closet admirer of the British monarchs
Just heard on the news that 600 000 tourists are in London solely for the wedding of the year!

I think its great! I'm not a royalist particularly, but I like to see the country, any country actually clubbing together and enjoying something for a change. A bit of camaraderie and good feelings. The UK needs some of that right now

I think the world needs some of it Jojo... we see too much of wars , unrest, corruption, bankruptcy , fat cats, very hunger and poor people.... I for one would love to see a beautiful young woman in a beautiful dress.
600 000 tourists cannot be wrong, wish I was in London tonight!
Not keen on Amstel myself, but a large glass of a very cool chardonnay may just do the trick!

Don't take it personally. I can't stand the "royal" family. There is no reason to like them. Certainly no reason to respect them. Remind me the fate of 90% of the royal weddings that happened in the past 50 years ? Oh that's right. Divorce.

And guess what ? I'm in the majority. Certainly most of my friends are smart enough to realise what a farce this so called "royalty" is. And they have the same attitude to things the soft media pushes like "brangelina". Not everyone reads "hello" and "people".

The fact that during the cermony a giant anvil will probably not fall through the sky is proof that if there's a god, he's got no sense of humour.

True. There aren't many opportunities to be happy on that cold, miserable, hyper expensive nanny stated island. That's why you have one of the highest rates of people who emmigrate from your country in the world. But I wouldn't know. I have no interest in returning there.

Good for the gander , good for the goose.

We're having a wedding, you're paying. You're not invited. Now run along and organise a street party in our honour. There's a good peasant.

Quite! Much better than "we're having a war, you're paying and you get no say in whether you want it or not....." The wedding is a bit of tradition and history in the making. People are happy for them, peasants or not??? Its all about the "feel good factor"
