Oh-ffical subsim "Royal Wedding" thread

[nikimcbee]

I'm certain over the next few days all of the UKers will drop off the map to watch the "Royal Wedding."

So, what kind of party are you having to celebrate the wedding?

Will there be a geordie translation/ interpretation?
What about for scousers? Are they allowed?

...Then there's the "Steed factor." What effect will that have on the wedding?

Jim and STEED finally tying the knot, eh?

That is the sound of Reece's heart breaking.

As an hono(u)rary "Tooner", the mcbee household is planning a major party; There will be a swimming pool of Newcastle Ale, Newcastle's favo(u)rite son, Brian Johnson will be performing, and there will be free party hats.


(Actual mcbee's at the pre-wedding party.)

Agreed and the alure is also lost on many of us UK'ers. Although, some estimated 2 billion viewers must see something partially interesting.

But hey ho, they gave us the day off work, who am I to squander that inside watching the event.

I havnt kept up with it.

I couldnt even begin to name the individuals getting married.

It is of complete irrelevance to my life as far as im concerend.

But because of media frenzy i am aware that someone of some importance - either real or imagined importance - is to become married somewhere in the UK.

thats all i could tell you, and i really dont care to know more about the subject.

I've never understood why any American should, or would, give less then a crap about the Royals.

Hmm.. ok... so traditional figureheads that seemingly do nothing but sit there and look pretty from the UK are getting hitched. *shrug* So where's the part where i'm supposed to care?

Of course, thats me being an uneducated "bad American" .

They may be a lot of things but the children of the British monarchs typically don't just sit there and look pretty. As far as the princes go, at least in my living memory they have all served in some branch of the military, and not just so they could look good in a uniform. Plus doing work for various charities and whatnot.

As the direct heir to the throne what Prince William is permitted to do as part of his military service is limited, but IIRC he is currently in the first year of a 2-3 year operational tour as a pilot with RAF Search and Rescue.

At best I'll watch it on the late evening news but as far as I'm aware they are quite popular over the pond
