Re: Royal Wedding
I was planning on getting the lads round. It's a day off, might watch a bit, eat some cake. Make a jolly of it.

Regardless of what we think of the Royal Family - it is still;

1) A day off.
2) Someone getting married, which is a happy occassion... right?


I recently took some schoolkids (some from bottom sets - troublemaking, apathetic urchins) to the Opera. They moaned on the way there, said that it was going to be boring, they wouldn't understand... yaddayaddayadda... a lot of the teachers I told about the trip, were very 'Ugh? The Opera? In Italian? For four hours? What's the point of that?'

When we got there, these kids from Basildon were totally awestruck at just the spectacle of the whole thing.

The immensity and pageantry and oppulance.


Royal Weddings are still massive revenue spinners for tourism in this country. It's going to be awe-inspiring in it's magnitude. Much like the Nuremburg Rallyies... or Kim Jong Il's house parties.

There won't be another one for the future Monarch for at least 25 years.

Re: Royal Wedding
My missus is currently in Zambia and was upset that she wasn't going to be able to see the wedding. She said she wanted to feel like part of the UK to which I replied, you are honey, no bugger here is going to be watching it either.

So, no, I'll be relaxing by the pool, maybe shooting some b-ball with my peeps.

Re: Royal Wedding
Not everybody is having the day off.

Some divisions of the company I work at, are not recognising it.

It's a bit strange that some people aren't recognising it.

I'm one of the lucky people that is taking 3 days off, and practically getting 2 weeks off from the 21st of April right through to the 2nd of May.

360 MiniCons and counting.

Re: Royal Wedding
My (US) company doesn't recognise it as a day off so I have to work or take annual leave which sucks. Sad
They are however letting us watch it in the office which is a problem because 1. I don't give a **** about watching it, and 2. I am field based and not a desk monkey.

Thankyou!

Spending all day with kids puts things into perspective, particularly the opera trip we went on a few weeks ago. I watch them dismiss stuff out of hand all the time - lots of really fast 'reactionary' decision making. Hindsight is a biatch.

What's it gonna hurt to spend five minutes of your day off watching the telly?

quite a lot actually if I'm driving all that way to see you.......

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
