Post Anarchy in the UK, today!
So, are we all excited with the Royal Wedding that's taking place in a few hours? :D

Being with the local media here, I am a bit clueless why we devote a whole primetime newscast on Prince William and Kate's wedding ceremony.

Yeah, I guess it's big business too, huh?...the network is spending millions of pesos for this coverage alone, and has sent a team for this event.

Any feedback so far on toy releases commemorating this momentous event? :D

from what I can gather its costing around £60 million of tax payers money, I am sure they will have a lovely day and all that but for me I would rather they spent the money somewhere needed

as for the atmosphere loads of people I know are having partys, my wife and her friends are all excited which is nice to see but for me its a day off work and sometime on my own to do nothing

Day off work - awesome

The rest of the self congratulatory wank can do one. I was bored of it weeks ago and now you can't move anywhere for TV programmes linking anything to it.

But...Regent Street with all the flags on does look pretty nice - like a throw back to VE day.

It's tomorrow, but yeah, there won't be any anarchy either since the Met have spent today storming every squat they can find and in the past week have nicked over 70 with little to no reason...
You know, that aside...

I'm weirdly digging the whole vibe, London will be an odd place tomorrow.

I had a wander past Buckingham Palace and down the Mall on Monday and even then it was pretty cool to see all the work that had been put into it all first hand.
At the end of the day, whether you're into the monarchy or not, it's a spectacle and will be an impressive event.

£60 million ain't shit when you figure the military is blowing up more than that on a weekly basis and killing people to boot.

At least they spent that money on your own country and not somewhere else. But I really don't care if they get married or not. The new princess is quite pretty though. And Mr. Bean is in the guest list. :mrgreen:

Mr Bean! :) Yep she is pretty. I am from the US and love London! I was there just last month. Revving up that Union Jack patriotic spirit is good thing, I hope she uses her position well and does some good humanitarian work in the future, I think she will.

I have to go down the South Bank later and I'm kind of dreading it.
