Hope everybody is as excited as myself about the coming royal wedding..........almost beside myself wth the impending epic.......
what about this i have even swopped my 37 inch tv for a 1.5 inch lcd tv..to watch every nail biting minute of thr spectacular event.
Jim...............

Yep, I'm as excited about it as you are!

I'll be making use of the Bank Holiday out in the barn with my angle grinder running full pelt as the street party goes on in my village.

Unfortunately (?) my 1.5 inch LCD TV is analogue, and the digital switchover takes place here on the 13th April

There's a wedding??

Sorry, we only get the Daily Mail (Ma used to read it) and so I don't read the papers and tend to get my news from teletext or internet.

Mind you, I did hear someone going on about how "Miserable Northerners" aren't getting into the spirit of the occasion. My thoughts being that there are more important things in life - like making my blasting cabinet, which I started to do this afternoon! Perhaps some Southerners are too obsessed with celebrity - or is it all just media hype, which is what usually happens with these things?

oi im a southerner & im a miserable old sod too.. thank god ive some mud to polish before i watch the wedding..

I'm Northern, Grumpy and live in the South - married to some Canadian bit of stuff who is not that bothered about the Royal thing - despite your excuses for not following the big event we on the other hand have decided to celebrate in style - 'By the side of the pool in the lovley sun, G & T to hand, 5 star hotel on the stunning Lisbon coast, while deciding on what our next classic addition is likely to be the fleet, ho and has far away from any mention of Royal Wedding as possible'

Some people just don't know when they've taken a thing too far:


I get some funny looks when I go to the village shop but hey, it hides the usual, solidified car-related filth under the nails.

I vaguely heard there was a wedding on somewhere.....

Thanks to that bloody wedding me dad's off another long weekend!!
(Head banging off Desk) Somebody shoot me please!!
I can't get the car sorted if he is getting in the way!!

And if the other relatives are coming round thats it,
my painkillers and sleeping tablets in their drinks.
Well you didn't think I would drug myself did you?

Being self employed means I don't get paid for bank holidays,so Wills & Kate can stick their wedding up their respective arses!

Following on from those sentiments, I'm in the same boat. However, as it's a one off, I have decided to carry on as normal. I don't suppose too many of our customers will be watching it.

The funny thing about the Royal Family, is that they maybe the heads of state but none of the flak, that results from the policies of what is afterall their government, ever goes their way. Nice work if you can get it
