Barrel of Fun

Abort, retry, fail
A friend of a friend spent some of her gap year with Middleton and the future royal claimed she was going to marry Prince William and that was before she had even met him. I wonder what odds she could have got :jester:

Have they set a date? I assume July?

Would be great to have the day off. Can't recall but was Charles/Di on a Saturday or weekday?

Bookmakers are punting 13 August next year as a favourite date for this wedding, at odds of 3-1. No day off and a Saturday

It was a weekday. very nice weather and I went to a big do at the (IIRC) Alliance sports and social club in hove, representing Amex at darts. Lost the first match and spent the rest of the day getting pissed on cheap beer in the sunshine and ignoring the telly.

As Mrs. Merton would have said – “So tell me Kate , what was it that first attracted you to the balding millionaire William who is second in line to the throne?”

If that's the case all football games will be moved to the Sunday, or an extra midweek matchday will be made at some point in the season to accomodate the fixtures lost on this weekend.

In response to Scooter1's post. As a protest then no if your'e a Republican or Poppy Burner. Surely as an act of defiance "they will go to work"....Like hell they will

FFS I feel like vomiting already, months of this puke inducing arse licking to look foreward to.

A couple of kids from wealthy families are getting married, probably at the expense of the tax payers when we are suffering the worst cuts in living memory and we are meant to be pleased?

If I'm paying for this toffs piss up I will most definatly have the day off as a small contribution to the vast amount of money this parasitic f***ing family cost every year, and the fact that the whole TV network will be a wall to wall vomit fest for 6 months or more.

And please dont insult me with all the, look how much they bring in shit.

They are an expense we can't afford but whats the chances of having a vote, in a democracy, on keeping them ? Bloody zero, democracy my arse!

People will be crying into their Daily Mails tomorrow. The comments section online is even more hilarious than usual.

The rush to buy the right hat is on.

At the time of "we are all in this together" I must admit, even as a Royalist, that this has raised my hackles ever so slightly. I know that the course of true love must run it's course - but not at the expense of the taxpayer that is currently poking extra holes in the belt so it can be tightened ever further. Could they not have waited until the dust from the job-cutting scythe has settled? Royal weddings are "luvverly" and all that, and there will be quotes from salt-of-the-earth old people about how wonderful it all is (and doubtless at least one old bag mentioning the Blitz), but the pomp and circumstance does little to line our pockets. The souvenir market will be cranked up in the Indian potteries as we speak, and the Bangladeshi tea-towel makers will be speechless with anticipation.

Unless they have the reception at the Amex it really is going to have little effect on day to day life. Future king marries bird, they sod off and live in a Married Quarter on Salisbury Plain dropping Army brats? Then again, with a reception at the Amex at least we could be guaranteed the mother of all security operations led by our very own Head of Sit-The-f***-Down-Or-You-Are-Out!

On a plus point - HOLIDAY!

Why on earth should they postpone football matches though?

I'm sure they're very happy, and the Daily Mail & Express are in a frenzy already. But most of us, if we're honest, really couldn't give a shit, and I doubt most of our footballers would be downing tools to watch the ceremony. Let the old biddies and Royal suck ups like James Whittaker and Jennie Bond enjoy it if they want to but allow the world to keep turning for the other 95% of the population.

What you say is completely true - but it was largely also true when they cancelled an entire Saturday's sport for Diana's funeral.

There would be massive pressure to cancel if it was a Saturday from all the various lickspittles, pressure that should be resisted but I'm not sure it will be.

You know what's going to happen. First league game at Falmer...

It should be a Friday and give us the day off, that way we would be happy to party all day.
