# are we doing anything?

All the shops seems to be selling some tat called the royal wedding,
anyone got any suggestions for what we could do that day to try and drown out the noise?

# oooh, interesting
why should I give a monkeys, I really don't see what connection it has with me.
I've no interest in anyone getting married that isn't me really, don't see how its my business.

# Their progeny will become your descendents future constitutional monarch.
Maybe in time since they've grown to televise these familial celebrations they'll let us watch the conception possibly to see that it's done right.

# nope
I find the idea of marriage quite ridiculous.
Me and the missus only did it to save her the minor irritation of explaining no she wasn't Mrs HappyToast when people phoned, now she can say she is. Plus it was a good excuse for me to dress like a gorilla.

It's utter bollocks that is either horribly tainted with religion or conforming to guidelines. You don't need public approval to love someone or a piece of paper signed in triplicate. And we sure as fuck don't need the event to be televised so the nation can cheer us on.

# Yeah
You don't have to go the whole religious expense-fest of it but the missus generally likes that side :)

it kind of helps to have similar views as the person you're marrying

# Fair enough.
Although I'm a happy monarchist, I don't begrudge others not wanting them. I do get cheesed off with some of the arguments that rely on bollocks (that they cost the country money, etc) when it's perfectly fair to disagree with them on idealogical grounds.

# I think what they "cost" is offset by the amount of money they bring in
that and the fact that the queen is the head of the armed forces so we shut the fuck up or she goes Gaddafi

I can just imagine that, though.

If you want to get blindingly drunk in fifteen minutes, play Australian advert shots. Every time an advert says 'Australian', have a shot. You'll be fucked in no time.

Getting upset about some of it is like getting upset about the insects one crushes to death with every step one takes. No point at all. Let it go, chill out, have some fun - it's a beautiful day.

And besides, don't apologise for being trendy - it's awful to be seen out in last season's wardrobe!
