Kate and William, Together, Forever.
 

I know people are going to take off 100 cool points from me for posting this, but is anyone else watching the royal wedding this week? My mom and I are going to have tea and cake LOL.

Oh and stuff being in Kate's position, 2 billion+ people watching.

Piss right off.

:rofl:

You old fart.

I don't like to speak for all Americans... So I'll speak for 99% of them and just say that we are totally uncaring to this wedding.

Alot of us don't care about it either, but just like the weeks and months after Princess Diana died, I'm sure a lot of people will adopt a patriotic love of the royal family and all things British.

I will be in a hopefully anti-wedding pub, blocking the entire thing out.

I don't really care so much, but my mother is way, creepily into the royal family. Not as much as my friend's mother, who seriously has a shrine to Princess Di in her house...but she's pretty nuts about it.

So she'll be watching it. If I'm at her house, I probably will be, too.

you should ban yourself for creating this thread.

I can't ban myself, I've tried. I wonder if this might be the thread of my demise though. I might have to do some favours to keep myself from being banned. ;)

hmmm this is the only time I wish I was a mod to be included in these favours!

I don't care for the royal family much myself but I might watch it. After all, its the only thing that's going to be on TV for the entire weekend.

Edit: my mom is pretty much batshit crazy over it. Yikes.

Oh you want to get in on this man! Trust me.

She's doing my cleaning, my washing, my cooking...

damn! I'm definitely missing out!

*looks at carpet that needs to be vacuumed*

hmmm

^This.

Prince Harry the Nazi is the only thing I've found interesting about the Royal Family. People care about them way too much in Canada.

This is the first time anal beads is actually the only choice.

I think they are cute together though!

This post is going to be long. I apologise. For those who wish to celebrate the royal wedding in an alternative manner, this is for you.

The Royal Wedding Drinking Game

If you've made it this far, you, like us, are looking to remember (or not) the Royal Wedding as a truly messy occassion. The only things required are something to drink and a jug that shall be known as "The Future Kings Cup" the use of this will become clear later, although I'm sure the more experienced amongst you will be aware of its purpose. The rules are as follows (they may ocassionally enconter something of a restructuring to make them more intelligble or generally better), although as it stands they are incomplete, which means I need your suggestions to make this the best damn day it can be...

1. If the Queen is on the screen you must be drinking. The woman has ruled the country for over 50 years, the least you can do is get destroyed in her honour.

2. Any time Prince Harry appears all players must produce a Nazi salute. The last player to do so must consume 5 fingers/mouthfuls for their poor reactions.

3. If Elton John is spotted the last person to shout "Candle in the Wind" must drink 5.

4. Any time time paralells are drawn to the Diana and Charles wedding (or any previous Royal Wedding for that matter), by commentators or otherwise, all players must consume 3 fingers/mouthfuls of their drink.

5.We're British (or shall assume the role for the day), which means we're a simple folk who enjoy comforts such as bacon and beer. With this in mind then, what better way to greet our anthem than with a hearty chug. As a result when the National Anthem is playing, everyone must be stood up and drinking.

6.William will one day become king of this fine country, a fact that needs to be celebrated no? Every time the word "future" is said, in the mentioned context or not, an amount no less than 1 finger must be added to the "Future Kings Cup" by any player. This should then go in a clockwise direction from the first player to do so everytime future is mentioned, to ensure the cup has a good mix of drinks.

7. And following on from Rule 6, The last person to shout "God save the future King!" upon the proclamation of "I now pronounce you man and wife" has to down the Future King's Cup. I fear for those that are last here, I really do.

8. Prince Phillip has found a warm place in many of our hearts, his "Racist Grandad" appeal simply too hard too dislike. As a result, whenever he is shown independant of the Queen (to avoid complications with rule 1), the last player to shout "Bloody Foreigners" must drink 3 fingers. Penalties can be awarded for anyone who makes no attempt to imitate his accent.

9. Prime Ministers never tend to be popular, but our current one is hated even by those standards. So to allow you all to "stick it to da man" whenever our fearless leader David Cameron appears on screen, the first player to shout "cunt" (substitute for a less offensive word if necessary) is allowed to come up with a rule of their own. Enjoy your one chance at tyranny!

10.Whenever the union flag appears on screen, the first to shout "rule brittania" is bestowed with the honor of delegating four measures however they see fit, one for each nation of the UK. This can either be to single player, or spread amongst them. Make sure our great flag is honoured with the drinking it deserves!

There we have it then, the 10 rules for what could be the least remembered Royal Wedding in history. It's been emotional!

I think this is what you meant to say.

I think she's cuter without William :D.

my country suffered 200 yrs of colonial rule and you want ME to watch the genesis of MORE Mongoloid in-breds?

i'd rather watch gay amputee necrphiliac porn

edit - gay midget amputee necrphiliac porn

I'd watch it for the life experience factor. One more thing to cross off my bucket list.

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain what exactly the royal family are? I'm American and don't pay attention to 99.9% of things that don't happen here, and only pay attention to about 10% of the stuff that actually happens here. To my knowledge, they are just a family...with no power or responsibilities?? I don't think I'm far off, and I don't understand the obsession or even general care for the royal family.

I was gonna dispute djchameleon's claim of it being on the news constantly in the USA, but then I realized that if it isn't on ESPN I probably didn't see it.

your math is a little slightly off but I get your point. The little news that I do watch which constants of morning news and Good Morning America it has been plastered all over those two programs, specifically GMA.

I'm having a picnic to celebrate.

As an American, I really don't understand how you UK-ers even tolerate the royal family, much less adore them. I mean, they're even worse than celebrities in the sense that they enjoy ridiculously lavish lifestyle and constant fame for doing nothing other than being born, which isn't "doing" anything at all. At least other celebrities are professional actors/actresses, athletes, or what have you.

Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong but how do you guys willingly pay out part of your earnings every day to GIVE this family money for performing a role that has all but vanished in the last couple hundred years?

They bring in a lot of money from tourism.

I think it's funny how the minute she gets engaged to Prince William, shes suddenly "Catherine" and Kate is disposed of.

Paid day off work


That is all I have to add to this thread :D

God Save the Queen?

Lucky bastard. I'm working on Friday.

I'm working Friday too

I go to work for 5 hours, then get a 9 hour day off paid later in the summer with no royal wedding bullshit :D

Aww well that's top!! I'm going to watch it to see her dress. Then play the drinking game.

rules will follow for players.

A drinking game? Oh god.

I could care less about this goddamn wedding. The only time I care about a wedding is if it's a relative, I'm at it, and there's gonna be good food at the reception.

Kayleigh; That's brilliant :D

...?

I posted that very same thing not even 20 posts ago in this thread, and nobody said anything. :p:

I'm assuming everyone stopped reading after:

Hehe, even though it said THE ROYAL WEDDING DRINKING GAME?

I voted anal beads as i'm sure shes gonna need them. I remember watching the Princess Di/ Charles fiasco many moons ago and thinking what a waste of money considering the state of the economy at the time. People love fluff though so give them fluff, hell it can't be worse then Jersey Shore.

Fixed.

As for the wedding itself I have zero interest in it, and judging by the non appearance of bunting anywhere near my road, no one else my way does either. Its an extra day on the bank holiday weekend which I will be using to have a lay in, so I'll be asleep during the whole thing. Then I'll use the afternoon to do some shopping. Congrats to them and all the other sentiments, but its not a concern of mine at all

Our streets having a street party. :(
