Royal Wedding (29th April) - how important is it to you?

[Jonno]

Nauseating stuff. The South Africans are absolutely obsessed with it down here.
The sycophantic TV coverage will be completely unbearable I should imagine.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

It's a day off, apart from that, I was sick of it within an hour of the announcement. Don't get me wrong, wish them all the best, but outside family and friends, I don't know why anyone cares.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

The day of Don't Do It Di's funeral I went for a bike ride. It was perfect - there was barely a car on the road. It was an absolute joy. People that were out were waving at each other and saying hello. I suspect it will be a bit busier out and about for this one.

Couldn't give a toss is too enthusiastic for me.

Working as normal due to it not being an official paid bank holiday.

this is the memo from my company:

Re: Bank Holiday 29th April 2011

The government has announced that Friday 29th April 2011 will be a bank holiday, to celebrate the Royal Wedding. However, while the extra day has been announced, there is no increase in the statutory entitlement for holidays. Guidance can be found in the staff handbook regarding the Company’s holiday policy and payment of bank holidays.


while i don't give a monkey's about the wedding, a day on the lash would have been nice.

What a bunch of sweeties you work for.

 

[Simster]

I think a day trip to France could feature.

 

[severnside gull]

I'm retired so i don't even get a day off out of it

The poll outcomes are pretty much what you would expect from the demographic of a typical laddish football forum but I suspect if you asked everyone on here to get their partner's view it might be very different indeed

 

[Rookie]

2 people I have never met getting married, wow

 

[Willow]

Poory worded question, TLO. It will be important to very few people, but many will take an interest in it. My young daughter's will love it, it will be a fairytale wedding to them.

Surely the import will determine the interest, no?

 

[Chicken Run]

I'm not interested at all in this stupid Republic nonsense, however nor am I interested in the wedding either, what's your view TLO?

 

[Mr Albion]

Treason heaven

Will be ripping the piss out of it on the day in The Treason Show which was booked before they announced the date, couldn't have picked a better time! Brighton Dome - Concert Hall, Corn Exchange, Pavilion Theatre - Events and Conference Venues

 

[Silent Bob]

I'm sure there will be some bad stories being buried nicely on the Big Day.

I have no reason to wish them any ill, but basically I'm not interested in the wedding.

But there was a reason for asking. All will become clear in a while.

 

[Drumstick]

Not to fussed, I'll be in thailand anyway so I'll likely miss it but wish them well.

I'm guessing here, but is there a chance of our last ever game at Withers being brought forward a day to the 29th?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I shall be getting in a round .....................





of golf - weather permitting!

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

What is there not to like? A day, where families can be quintessentially English and spend the day together. That’s the big thing for me, having an extra day off and with my family. All you miserable John Catt alikes who are too trendy or republican to be bothered are just basically trying to 'different' it’s almost gothic.

We are having an unofficial street party around here although we expect the council to allow us to close the street off.

Gawd sake come on the whole country is in the doldrums at least this is something other than the Albion to look forward to.

so there you have it, only interests are the Albion and a once in a while Royal wedding............ you couldn't make it up

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Not so - she's just as indifferent as I am and heading to Marrakesh for that weekend.

Aside from the fact 'trendy' is totally meaningless word, you're also wrong.

Looking at the figures, it's YOU being different by getting excited about it.
