Hells teeth, whats the world coming to. We have war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel threatening to nuke Iran, North Korea is threatening to set off World war 3. Huge areas of Pakistan flooded with hundreds if not thousands dying, terrorist threats world wide. Economic meltdown throughout Europe, Southern Irish banks being bailed out to the tune of billions. With all this going on. What is front page news in the British papers? The possible royal bl**dy wedding.  Ok moan over.

Yep Colin, I know what you're sayin'. That royal family over there ain't been right since they did in Mary Queen of Scots, huh?!  (...figured you'd especially appreciate that up there north of Hadrian's Wall) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Well, if it wasn't for the AUP and the AUPP (UAP Police) I'd have a lot to say but as it is... I'll bite my tongue!

If that wedding goes through without a hitch, we'll have world peace for sure.

Now now Colin...make love not war...
Putting Wills and Katie on the tabloids front page keeps that stiff upper lip nice and firm.
Personally the only news paper I read is Motorcycle News - and that has the Speed Tripple on the front cover - I have my priorities right.
See you in Ullapool buddy!!

About 5 minutes after they announced it,I'd already had enough to make me want to throw up.It's gone on for days, and even now, all the crap. What dress,what ring what church etc.etc PLEASE!ENOUGH! NO MORE!  As you say, people are dying out there. But,we'll have this "wedding circus" rammed down our throats for an eternity.

I suppose there is nothing wrong with a little "light entertainment". Gives people a little balance to the "real news", which is invariably bad. Still, I don't give royal weddings any more attention than I do to reading the covers of the "trash rags" while standing in line at the grocery store.

Do you tink the divorce will make the front page.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

We'll all be bleeding from the ears by then, from hearing about it and we will need a week off to recover.
