Has anyone else been unfortunate enough to catch one of Nicholas Witchell's "news" reports on the happy couple? He talks as if they aren't human beings but some special higher creatures that are completely unfamiliar with what us mere mortals get up to.

And to what reward ? Charlie-boy called him "that dreadful man". Makes all that doffing worthwhile.

One of the women he famously smashed was Koo Stark, who now lives on benefits in a council house.

The thought of posh tart holed up in a damp flat on a council estate willing to do anything for cash would ordinarily hold some allure, but having viewed her recent photos even Richard Keys wouldn't smash it now.

Preparing for the REMF match, I suspect.

Damn right, and I trust that those of you having a round of golf or cleaning out the cellar that day, will make for the Dripping Pan in the evening for a worthwhile cause.

Golf course all day for me, either just outside Glasgow or on Arran with my two lads. About as interested in the Royal Weddings (there are now two by all accounts with Red Rum due to marry The Incredible Hulk at the end of July) as I am in the air conditioning system at Selhurst Park.

So if you live in a town/city beginning with the letter 'B' there will be a Royal Wedding Party, at least that keeps it simple.

Royal correspondent always used to be a vety sort after job, because it was incredibly untaxing and you got lots of foriegn travel to places you might actually like to visit.

The drawback is deference the royals expect and which you have to adopt if you want any kind of access accompanied as you've pointed out by utter contempt from the royals

Great idea, always wondered how our European cousins would celebrate this occassion, seems they are looking forward to it as much as us....

Royal Wedding Fever Grips Europe

A surge in reservations from Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands will bring the biggest influx of overseas visitors to London since Prince Charles and Diana married in 1981. More than 1,000 extra train seats have been booked, even from countries that do not have a monarchy.

Yes, spot on, Europe has gone crazy over this.

Wikipedia shows the population of Europe (not including Turkey) at 700 million. And Eurostar have sold 1000 seats more than this time last year. Such a small blip could be because the weather is forcast to better than last year.
I would say they are about as enthusiastic as most of us..
