Suzi you just beat me posting this, who are people on it?
J.

It's Posh Spice and Huge Grant if I'm not mistaken? I'm not sure what they have to do with the wondrous event.

I think Francois' Diana reference deserves a comedy award. Inspired.

The Holgamods thing doesn't exist. It can't be. I've blanked it out. Ommmmmm.

I've fled the country and am in Crete. If I can stay away from a TV I should be home and dry - I'm sure it will still be on the TV when I return though and well, all you ladies will be looking to Kate for your fashion direction much like I have followed in fashionable footsteps of Charles all these years!

Yes, I've decided to follow Kate's fashion direction and become tall & thin. No more of this short, chubby business for me.

As long as he doesn't put on those shoes with the big pom-poms on then, I think he'll still be more tweed than anything

Blimey, I hate to break the seething republican consensus but I'll be having a party in the backyard . I find rabid monarchists and rabid anti-monarchists equally boring.

I've got the cheapy bunting from ebay and the Tesco value dips.The ladies can watch the telly and discuss the dress and the men can have a few drinks in the sun (hopefully). I'll take a few polaroids and might even post them if theyre funny enough.

Whats not to like

Made me laugh too! I especially like the collectors edition part.

i think the best bit has to be the disclaimer:

I heard that prince Wills is adamant about not having the traditional old fruitcake at his wedding.

Unfortunately for him, Prince Philip has said he attending no matter what his grandson says.

boom boom tish.

I'm glad I have no TV here :-) The radio will be off too.

Having said that, I took my dear mother some Royal Wedding cup-cakes to her in hospital last week. She loves the Royals but is very unwell so her preferences are what counts at the mo.

I think it's great how we have a weekend bookended by a Royal wedding and a socialist holiday (which Mr David Cameron wants to get rid of, move to October indeed). As a Republican I find it ironic how I am of on the Friday but have to work on May Day.

Come the revolution...

Domino's are offering a free pizza to couples called William and Kate tomorrow. The terms and conditions are:

Offer valid for one free medium cheese and tomato pizza per couple with the forenames of “William” and “Kate”

• To be eligible for the offer, each couple with the names “William and Kate” (for the avoidance of doubt one individual must have the forename ‘William’ and the other individual must have the forename ‘Kate’) must both produce to the store a valid passport or driving licence (or other appropriate and valid form of photographic identification) and be present at the store when collecting the order

• Variations of the name “William” and “Kate” will be considered by the store (for example, Bill, Catherine, Kathryn) but the final decision relating to any couples eligibility to receive a free cheese and tomato pizza will lie with the store manager whose decision is final and binding.

Thanks for sharing that Suzi. Got my morning laugh.

That really is one of the silliest things I have ever heard of.

Domino's make THE WORST pizza anywhere. Little known fact: Offering Henry VIII a free Domino's pizza was the cause for the beheading of 2 of his wives.

I just love how mean and restrictive the offer is. They make a big hoo haa promotion about the free royal wedding promotion, but its their most basic pizza only, valid for one day while stock lasts, in participating stores only, and only if the store manager decides to allow you to have a free pizza.

astrobeck · « **Reply #73 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:37:08 PM »

I have the royal wearies!
I'm weary of all the commentating and we're still a day away from the wedding.

Me thinks I'll take tomorrow off and go play in the desert with some pinholes.

I just revived a homemade camera I made about 6 years ago, so will be trying it out for the weekend thread.

Perhaps we should have a "what I did instead of going to the wedding" thread.

Thinking about the fact that they only offer a "cheese and tomato" pizza... two condiments... who one is supposed to be the rubbery cheese and who is supposed to be the spicy tomato sauce? William or Kate?

I work across from westminster in St Thomas and on thursday after work I went across to see what was happening, to point ,laugh,and perhaps throw some stones.It was jammed .Lots of people from everywhere else camped (and Camped out )out.The medieval forlock tugging aside the atmosphere felt excitable and happy.It wasnt the place for a grinch like response to the event itself.Having been at home in dublin for the preceeding 2 weeks protected me from the build up i suppose.
The day off,no queue in waitrose,a chance for missus euge.. to drink champagne in front of the telly with her friends on a friday morning while the other halfs played football with the kids in the back garden.Not the worst way to spend a day.

If you remove the Union jack from it you have the Ulster Banner which was the flag of Northern ireland. I assume this is a modern variation of it.

euge... · « **Reply #80 on:** May 01, 2011, 02:29:48 PM »

Its the flag used by loyalists for the 6 british counties in Ulster. The union flag isnt always on it. The red hand comes probably from celtic/pre christian folklore.Ive never been sure why the cross of st George is there ,the protestant influx was by and large lowland Scotish.It may have been co-opted from the full 9 county ulster flag which has a red cross on a yellow background with the red hand on a shield in the centre
