I got disgusted and had to turn off the news. I mean, WTF? Who cares about people I don't know getting married?
 
From the brief snatches of 'news' i haven't managed to avoid, it appears as if London has been colonised by halfwit Americans seeking to "get close to the memory of Diana" and all that type of bidness.

Luckily there are more than enough native fuckwits, accompanied by their dogs dressed in wedding outfits (no hat, for shame), union jack bowler hats (perhaps the worst sort of bowler hat) and eternal gormless expressions, to give the foreigners a run for their money.

Personally i am simply looking forward to the moment when people on the telly stop telling me that i am excitedly looking forward to seeing some woman's dress.

Good Day.
 
It was a bizarre news day. They kept flipping between royal wedding preparations and the devastation of the tornadoes in the southeast.

"People are camping out to get a good spot to watch the royal procession"

"Shelters are overflowing with victims of the storm"

"Comparisons between Dianna and Kate are inevitable"

"Death toll in Tuscaloosa reaches 36, with over 200 dead in the southeastern US."


But the best quote for the day came from the Tuscaloosa News talking to a local woman: "Honnicutt said the wind roared over her home, it sounded like a tornado as it was going over". (you think?)
 
We're simply ALL about wedding, so we don't have to care what else is happening in the world, which is almost certainly nothing.

Note to Colonel Gadaffi and President Assad: This is a very good time to kill lots of your people.

I've hardly heard a word about the tornadoes on our 'news', but when there's a chance of spotting Posh Spice Beckhams near Westminster Abbey or the opportunity to talk at length to a deranged housewife from Scunthorpe about the, Lionel Richie style, life-size Williams and Kates she has fashioned from toothpaste tubes, then compaints of trivialisation of the media can swiftly be cast aside.

(Not making light of this terrible tornado business, WB. Hope your spot manages to get back on its feet quicksmart).
 
Bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II, Price William's grandmother has given him the title of Duke and Kate Middleton the title of Duchess of Cambridge.

In addition to the dukedom William also became the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, which means Middleton will become the Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.

That makes three titles each for the royal couple.

Ahhh, having ones own Dukedom. It's a thought that ran through every guy's mind at the High School Prom. :)

Well, now it is all over bar the kissing. And, despite the horrendous flatulence issuing from the mouths of journos and crowds alike, we out did Disney. Mind you Kate would have made a passable Snow White!
I doubt that there is a nation on earth who could come close. Thank you America, Australia, Canada et al for sending your sqealing masses to spend their hard earned dollars with us.
I hope they will be happy, but then I hope all newlyweds will be happy.
The only thing that marred the celebrations was the appearance of the wicked witch, or Dobbin as I call her. Funny she kept looking over her shoulder as if she thought she should have been hauling a milk cart!
 
The really sad thing is that I have some female friends who actually stayed up all night to that they could watch this shit live. I may have to rethink those friendships.... though given the amount I have already mocked them for doing so, they may disown me first.
