So What did you think about the Royal Wedding
- Thread starter Zeema
- Start date
Someone got married what? Royal? What are you even talking about?
... is what I wish I could say at this point. As it is, I've been forced to listen to people bang on about this in lieu of any actual news about anything else anywhere - and I'm in friggin' Texas. I'm glad it's over so we can get to the honeymoon and move on.
Question: Will the Royal Divorce garner as much attention?
Captcha: anissed 180. Sounds like a vaguely dirty skateboard trick.

Other than that, yay for them I suppose?
OT
Didn't care that much for it.
OT: Umm I was busy with something more important. Namely DA:O on the xbox. And they are ruining my day with clips from it on CNN, so on the whole I dislike it when people I don't care about become a bigger focus than natural disaster victims. (US recently was hit hard by Tornadoes)
Wll, i think the monarchy will be celbrate-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx
sorry, gotta watch the paint dry & the grass grow!

I was asleep and only woke up to the end, which wasn't that exciting. I don't like the idea of monarchy, anyway, but his coat was from the Irish regiment or something, so that was cool.
Yeah because London business totally didn't just a huge boost in revenues because of this?SFR said:Big Bird... I think you meant Big Bird.Ranooth said:KnowYourOnion said:
I would say she looked more like Big Duck from Sesame Street
So, I'm not to thrilled that the wedding cost 20 million pounds and was paid for by tax payer money (not sure how much, but still). I heard that 80 percent were against the wedding because of this. I don't blame them. It's not like the royal family does much in terms of governing... or anything for that matter. I'm not English, so my views aren't as personal as some, I'm sure.
Listen, you obviously haven?t thought your argument through and are 'not thrilled', lol.
The Monarchy is one of the LARGEST tourism focal points in Europe. But let?s just forget the tourists for now. How many more British people do you think were in London today? Buying train tickets, bus passes, food, drink, stuff, hotels etc?
It may have cost $20 mill in MY (not your) taxes, but London (and the British people as a whole) have benefited hugely from this.
I won?t even start to mention how happy the British people are to see their monarchy.
How much do you think American news agencies paid to be up front and have access? How much will publishing rights, picture rights and video rights net the Gov?t?
What doesn't 'thrill' me is a person who has no grasp (or license) on any given situation saying how perturbed they are over it, when they cant even put a single thought behind their action other than making up a statistic.
I think it was a somewhat dull ceremony. The aesthetic choice to make everything look like the inside of my eyelids was, I believe, a poor one.
....Oh wait, that wasn't the wedding; I was asleep.

I think that the entire world needs to forget the royal family and say that they stopped mattering after the kings/queens stopped having any real political power (which is true).

other then that... love is a great thing
I hope Israel have had a nice day as well, and the wedding isn't overly reported there.
Nah... just a full day special on the government channel
Good for them. I don't understand why everyone here in the States is flipping out over the royal wedding of a nation that isn't them. Sure, the UK is great, been there a few times, and they're probably our closest allies at the moment, but you don't see the UK getting all excited over, say, Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
