Default Anyone watching the Royal Wedding?
Belinda has invited 5 of her friends tonight who are all sitting around the fire scoffing champagne and cackling like a coop of chooks.

(Which is why I'm monitoring MLU currently)

William and Kate who are they?

Kathie watched it but personally I don't (and didn't) care a bit at watching it or hearing about it. Just have to put up with all the newspapers and TV stations doing reruns and talking about the darn thing and the dress for weeks if not months into the future now

Wink Watching? Of Course!
I watched it for the same reason that I watch the Academy Awards, Logies (Aussie TV Awards), Brownlow Medal, etc... The Frocks... Which is a more polite way of saying what Alex said below...
I was a bit disapointed with the guests dress(es), I must say. Kate & Pip were gorgeous!

The Honourable head of Australian Government looked very nice...I wonder if she managed a sneak trip back to her former Welsh home town? Was there a Canadian representative?

Default The wedding
Hi All

Just thought I would throw my two pence worth in there. The wife and I watched the wedding thing from start to finish and really enjoyed the pomp and pageantry that only the poms can do. I don't think you can beat a military wedding in full kit. I loved the trees touch, I bet there will be churches with all kinds of greenery in forthcoming weddings for a long time to come. Harry seemed to enjoy every bit of it, though he looked a bit nervous in the beginning, he was probably wishing he was back in Afgahistan. The way the police handled the crowds was just what would be expected.

From me down under, well done to you Brits.

Cheers

Tony
