Royal Wedding

clever use of lookalikes, but
shame its a nicked idea from a real wedding

 

He's alluding to the superfluous adjective.

From Chambers:
consensus, noun, *general* feeling or agreement

 

Given how widely publicised the original was, I took it to be a royalty-
themed homage rather than simply nicked.

Either way it was a bit wank.

 

I was just being pedantic. As you say, there's a first time for
everything..

 

Same here.

11 days off - just 3 days holiday taken.

Apparently there's something organised for the park at the end of the
street - but we plan to take a bike or the homwheels out for the day.

 

Not in the World of contracting. When everyone else takes a long break
they want essential maintenance doing while they're off so some of us
are having to work.

 

How many zeroes on the invoice?

 

Try Germany. It's all over the place (at least in the gutter press
billboards in Dusseldorf)

Do you really feel this way? I can't understand why anyone who I'd
class as 'sane' would seriously wish that the royal family were
executed.

Personally I don't give a stuff about the royal wedding/family but
given a choice between a royal family and a president I'll go with the
family. Grudgingly. And they're welcome to the two quid a year or
whatever it is they cost me, I'm sure it's significantly less than the
cabinet.

 

I'm taking the kids to Port Madoc to play on the Welsh Highland Railway.
I'm hoping that most of the population will be watching the wedding so
allowing me a clear run. Certainly worked when it was Di's funeral.

 

Had a great day at Alton Towers on the day Di was buried. They opened the
rides late morning but there were zero queues even on the recently opened
Nemesis.

 

A win, win situation

 

An accident of birth gave you more intelligence than most and allowed
you to make a better living than most.

And if you want to remove the royal family because of inherited
privillege being wrong then where do you stop?

- Stop anyone inheriting anything?
- Stop people using influence to get their children a better start in
life (e.g. getting internships, getting job interviews)
- Stop private education (I guess you'll say of course)
- Stop paid tutoring in the evenings
- Stop parents helping children with studies because it's not fair if
this doesn't happen for everyone.

etc. etc. etc.

Add to the cabinet salaries the cost of running their offices and it's
going to be more.

Well, the duties as monarch would fall on the president in any case if
we abolished the royal family.

Whatever it costs I frankly don't give a ****. The status quo suits me
well enough- the last government fucked up enough with the changes to
the commons (hours of attendance, turning all MPs into 'professionals')
and the half-arsed fucking around with the Lords.

 

Hmm. Well, you may have a point there. Damn it.

Well, I don't. And it's more to do with what I plan to leave rather
than what I hope to inherit.

Not so sure about this. Internships?

Well, I suppose it's churlish to argue with this point. However I just
can't bring myself to give a damn about it when there are so many other
things of much more importance and significance to the vast majority.

Consitution?

 

You should go back to the bar and collect your sense of humour.

 

Make sure they don't get off the tracks before you complete your run, or
you've wasted a day. And ffs, make sure there aren't any CCTV cams knocking
about.

 

That would be a good trick.

Fair enough.

My response to "what will you do during the royal wedding" is "probably
the same as when his father (Charles is this one's father, right?) got
married".

Actually I won't do exactly the same. I'll probably be pissing around
on a sports bike or a dirt bike (vs a Suzuki T250[1]). I won't however
be an unwitting accomplice in a post office robbery (which never quite
happened).

[1] Why didn't I ever take pictures of my bikes? Or, come to that
anything.

 

I hate it when that happens.

 

Perhaps this is something you could address, rather than arguing their
downfall from a position of ignorance.
