It's not my cup of tea. In fact,I doubt I'll even turn on the t.v.,because I'm sick of hearing about it already.

LOL, my dear, dear Ferrari loving friend!!
Maybe you're just getting smarter the more you hang out with me.
Possibly it can work both ways?

Since I was a little kid, my London relatives have referred to me as "Mr. Abbey." Apparently one time when we were over there visiting, I wanted to see Westminster Abbey and kept asking "When are we going to see Mr. Abbey? " Years later, I brought my wife and boys to the Abbey and there was an announcement that there would be a celebration of the Eucharist. I asked a rather snobby elderly woman working as a Docent, to explain this ceremony to me. She said "Oh....where are you from?" I told her I grew up on the west coast of the U.S. She said " Oh...you don't sound like an American...you actually have a very nice acent" (SLAM) Then she went on to explain the Eucharis to me and asked..."Are you a Catholic then? " "No" I said, hoping to leave it at that. "Well what religion are you then?"she asked (DAMN !) I had to say it... "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" I said. She looked as if she were about to faint...her face blanched...she put her hand to her throat, stuttered and stammered and made some excuse about having to be somewhere else and made a quick exit.
Anyway Me and Mrs. exwhyzee were married a few weeks before Charles and Diana and had our 2 boys at almost the same time as they had theirs. We were outside Kenzington Palace just after her death and saw the mountains of flowers. My Uncle who is an Engineer at the Royal Mint, grew up with Charles (his Dad was a Palace Guard and got my brother and I one of those tall Bear Skin helmets each). My Cousin designed one of Diana's famous dresses (you'd know her name and mine if I described the dress) My mother (a Diana look alike) and Sophie Ryhs Jones great grandfathers were brothers....anyway there seems to be a ongoing thread here... so yeah....we're going to watch the Wedding too I'm sure.

I'm with Murray and Justitia on this one. Besides it's going to be 1AM here, I don't like the idea of staying up all night to watch an overblown circus. Although I'm sure it means a lot to the Brits.

*sorry* I just cannot watch a country full of pretty decent people, 'living' in the dream of royalty. It kinda like "heir-loomed welfare..."
But... *I* won't judge, some people like that sorta thing.

We told those royals 225 years ago that we wanted nothing to do with their silliness. I stand by that. Plus, I will add, my good friends in the UK have always told me that the royals are considered a joke in their own country.
