The Royal Wedding had a real cinematic look with all those trumpets and costumed people. I half expected ol' Charlton Heston to walk through and shout "Behold his might hand!" or something. That's the appeal of it; it's like a fantasy but it's actually real, and of course it's oh so British. Personally I liked it.
I was wondering how a thread about the Royal wedding could reach 8 pages so quickly.:-o
I didn't watch it.
I was asleep at the start of it, and I was pissing around on the internet and playing yakuza 2 for the rest of it. I'll still have the misfortune of hearing the second half of it since my wife recorded it, and watched the first half before she left for uni.
What is it with Americans being so bloody obsessed with the royals?
Funny thing happened the other morning at work though I was getting packed up and ready to leave, and the woman who works the floral dept is a fellow limey, she's from Wiltshire or some place where they sound like carrot crunchers, she asked me if I was gonna watch it, I said no, and when she said why not I said "cos' they're a bloody waste of space".
Nah there are more at the bottom sucking up social/dole/grants/hand outs/rent subsidies etc......we'd save more by getting rid of those.
I have to agree with you on getting rid of the leaches...lets get rid of anyone that takes more than they contribute to the economy. :)
(it's going to be a lonely place)
/cue hitler photo.
the few at the top leeching take a damn sight more than the bigger amount at the bottom.....those leeching at the top take millions each
dole scroungers etc take a few thousand
while we argue amongst ourselves for the scraps that drop off the table

Huh??
The ones at the top do not TAKE tax money..they make their own money.
The scroungers on the bottom cost BILLIONS not millions.
Feel free to name some of these 'top scroungers' and how much they are scrounging from the coffers. I really don't see how they would even qualify for tax hand outs...without contributing.
When I was over there in February I found out my parents recently had 'free' loft insulation and 'free' wall insulation installed in their house after someone knocked on their door and said they qualified for the gov grant because of their age.....that was at least a 2-4 thousand quid right there that was 'given' to someone who really didn't need it.
My leftwing dad of course (who has a couple of comfortable pensions) thought he had 'earned it'... what a leech!
This came after he had spent a couple of days bitching about the immigrants leeching..I asked what the difference was when he really didn't need the insulation hand out....'I've paid in!'
After all the bru-ha-ha about Glasgow not interested in holding any Royal Wedding parties, an unofficial one in Kelvingrove Park, host to 4000 folk, descends into drunken chaos, with police being pelted with bottles and vans smashed up.

'Dad, paying taxes is not a savings account'....
Beanz Stay in Texas and talk the talk to the Americans and get a pat on the back. Its sooo bad here stay there but stick your hand out for the British pension. Thats if your British.

She called me a miserable sod :lol:
Yeah i dont get thier obsession either......they wernt so keen back in 1775
I watched bits and pieces of it on the iplayer on my PC at work, there wasn't any actual work to be done, i was bored out my brain all day.
All the women in the office cared about was what the dress looked like:smile:
The top dogs not contributing does not = leaching....they are not taking from the pot, they are not adding to the pot...(even though they contribute I'm being generous).
Not adding to the pot is leeching: there's an awful lot of public infrastructure that exists to allow the people at the top live safe, comfortable lives - for example, the military to stop foreign invaders from taking it off them, roads for them to drive their Bentley Continentals on, police to discourage scumbags from invading their homes, subsidised public transport so the poor aren't all on bicycles and getting in the way of their Bentley, fire service in case their 3 million pound house catches fire etc. Using that infrastructure without paying for it is actually leeching.

Ergh! I was expecting it to be a pisstake, or a big diss, but it was serious :o
That's a crime against music on so many levels I don't know where to begin?......But a least I suppose he didn't call anybody "Blaaaaaaad!!!!" during the tune :D

the voice of a true leader. :p
not sure that makes mel brooks a nazi?
anyone have a banana?
Still a Nazi thats been told this is the way to live.
I went to a fancy dress party once, as von Smallhausen ('Allo 'Allo). So this makes me a Nazi. :-?:-o
Would you like to prove they've been told to live this way, rather than merely broadbrush and poison-the-well?
Here's to William and Kate *raises cup of tea*
I don't get it...
:-P
Yeah? He's drinking tea? :???:
I don't drink tea so I have nothing to feel guilty about ;)
