Irrational Hatred
People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

The upcoming Royal Wedding.
As an ex-pat, yeah, I think it's great that William and Kate are getting married. But what drives me nuts is that BBC America constantly has TV programmes about them, and it drives me even crazier that the news channels I watch here in the US are constantly harping on about it.
I can't even read the two newspapers we get (British Weekly and Union Jack) without reading about the upcoming nuptials.
In my apartment complex, they want to do a "street party" to celebrate the big day, and I'm apparently the main consultant. But I'm going on a fishing trip on April 29th so I'm not going to be around to make sure it goes to plan.
Fairytale wedding my ass, look how the last one ended.....grrrr....

Don't the Yanks like all this sort of thing though?
Perhaps they think we're really lucky to be ruled over by a bunch of bucktoothed hereditary freeloaders.

Hey, I lived through one royal wedding
Surely, having to endure another is Cruel And Unusual Punishment, and therefore banned under the Geneva Convention?

Yep, all of the above
...and the 1977 silver jubilee street parties.
I was restricting myself to those of potential monarchs, the others being even less relevant (if that's even possible)

Royal joke
Sophie and the Queen are having a girly chat. The conversation drifts around to sex, and since a couple of sweet sherries have been imbibed, Sophie feels able to reveal a rather intimate problem.
"Every time I suck Edward's cock," she says, "I get terrible indigestion afterwards."
"Hmmm," says the Queen, "Have you tried Andrew's?"*
* Joke may not work outside the UK or if you're too young to remember Andrews

I share your thoughts on this
So I'm going to be 6000 miles away on the day in question, on a small island in the Java sea.

OMG ISN'T IT EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was on the phone to a septic last week. He was so thrilled to be speaking to a Brit at “this exciting time” and went on and on about wishing he could be in London for the big day.
I pretended to be thrilled and my raw good luck at being a British born at the right time to live through the event. It seemed the more polite option rather than giving my true opinion.
