They can take a right royal running jump at themselves, I’ll be paying zero attention.

You know those schemes where the police secretly send out notices to wanted criminals to tell them they have won a boat and they need to come to a specific location to claim their prize? This wedding is like that…

It’s tomorrow, and it clashes with the Dockers game.

I’ll be wearing the dress uniform of the 19th/23rd Rutland Heavy Dragoons, with medals (Manly Fun Pier Maze Master, Primary School Egg-and-Spoon Race 2nd place, Macrobertson Gold-Covered Chocolate Coin and Bar)>

I can do oxy welding reasonably well and MIG and TIG (thanks SN) in a pinch. But not arc welding. Nope, stick welding is not for me.

Couldn’t be bothered getting into the I hate the royals signaling thing but it has stuffed up Saturday night TV. Which tells me some market researchers have figured it’s an ad seller compared to more Marvel comics gear. Though not sure how multiple channels doing the same thing intend to market the differentiation.

But I don’t hate the royals, just the bloody monarchy. I have a soft spot for QEII and Diana’s sons. Phil, Chucky and that dreadful woman are not worth the energy to hate….they are disgusting.

I’m indifferent to the royals. I do, however, think Prince George and Princess Charlotte are freaking adorabubble.

I’ll be doing artwork, listening to music and smoking pot.

There are a million kinds of interesting, but these critters don;t seem to tick any of the boxes apart from being “royal”, which is bullshit.

Harry has done nothing in his life as far as I’m aware, except kill some people in Afghanistan or somewhere. And that was only because the copter crew were ordered to give him control of the weaponry, “so he can say he’s suffered, too.”

Also thinking about setting up the other bedroom (the junk room) as an exercise room, but that would need a TV too. Right now I wheel or cart the exercise gear into the living room each night and then put it away.

Goodness, even SBS has got it. However, NITV are offering:

7.35pm: King’s Seal Conspiracy, treason, betrayal, rape and murder: Welcome to the Free-Settler Colony of South Australia.

In 1836 King William IV and the British Parliament enshrined into law the “Letters Patent”, the founding document that established the state of South Australia.

Unknown to many people today, the Letters Patent included a unique guarantee to protect and legally secure land rights for all of South Australia’s Aboriginal people and Descendants, giving Aboriginal people the right to occupy and enjoy their land for always.

This legal right, still enshrined in law today, was in fact the first ever Aboriginal land rights secured in Australia’s history, rights that have been denied since 1836.

Is it over?
Is it safe to wake up?

And NITV at 8.30

Oh please, I want that Offal Dish,
for it has been my dearest wish
since I was just a little kid
to live like all the royals did,
with offal always there on hand,
supplied by peasants on the land
who laboured to keep me supplied
with viscera from things that died,
and then, upon my golden throne,
I’d sit, in royal state, alone,
to contemplate with hearty mirth
the great good fortune of my birth,
the chance to ponder through the day
and crap that offal clean away.

Meghan is definitely an independent spirit, but then again so is Harry. Can Meghan be happy within the confines f royal protocol? Hmm, maybe not.

His birth name is Henry. Diana always wanted to call him Harry. Meghan, although born Rachel Meghan Markle, will be known as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Your problem would be that you’re not closely enough related to HM the Q.

Margaret could be whatever kind of trollop she felt like being, because sis couldn’t really do much to her.

Married-ins like Diana and Meghan have a different situation.

I’m kinda interested in the royals. Like, how they switched houses and ended up House of Windsor and who got beheaded and when the royal family started and the pomp of funerals and interesting stuff like that. But a wedding? Snore.

King’s Seal
Conspiracy, treason, betrayal, rape and murder: Welcome to the Free-Settler Colony of South Australia.

In 1836 King William IV and the British Parliament enshrined into law the “Letters Patent”, the founding document that established the state of South Australia.

Unknown to many people today, the Letters Patent included a unique guarantee to protect and legally secure land rights for all of South Australia’s Aboriginal people and Descendants, giving Aboriginal people the right to occupy and enjoy their land for always.

This legal right, still enshrined in law today, was in fact the first ever Aboriginal land rights secured in Australia’s history, rights that have been denied since 1836.

Just dropped SWMBO off at a wedding party.

Gold Coast Comm. Games closing ceremony = $200,000 per minute.

According to the Sun, the wedding costs £32 million, which Google tells me is $58 million AUD.

So this wedding costs way more than all the houses in my street. Probably half the suburb.

I gave in and managed to stop mid washing up to see the arrival. I recognize really good lace when I see it. I also note that Annabel et al stopped talking. I have no idea what they were saying previously because the TV was muted and I was in the kitchen. I don’t mind religious choral stuff. Even though I don’t have religion.

He’s no James Brown.

i don’t have enough celebrity knowledge, I don’t recognize people I am supposed to know. And I didn’t watch all the people arriving anyway. So enlighten me about this hat thing.

I’ve still got the TV on because I have to watch the open fire a bit longer so it’s right down before I go to bed.

It’s the only thing that makes sense.

On looking at the women near the front with their jaunty little hats set on one side, I was forcibly reminded of the vestigial shell of some slug species.

The queen’s hat was much bigger, she looked more like a limpet.

So I got around to looking up the details of The Dress. Because I didn’t listen to the commentary last night. It was a pleasant classic sort of dress. Silk, as expected. I thought the way the veil fell it had to also be silk, which it was. Apparently the embroidered flowers on the veil referenced the Commonwealth. Which I consider to be a nice touch. And I really liked the tiara. A beautiful understated design (if something encrusted with diamonds can be understated).

Then I went and looked at photos of people. I read the names under the photos. I knew practically none of them. I must be very celebrity blind.

I had it on in the background. There was some nice religious choral music. You know, where the voice is the instrument, and you can’t work out what the hell the words are. But I did have the TV on mute until they got the bride to the church. I didn’t even sample the commentators, because I saw a few minutes of Annabel Crabbe earlier on the news and thought….nup..can’t be having with that. So I went to NITV for a very informative program on aboriginal rights in SA – enshrined in the Letters Patent at the founding of the state. I didn’t know about that.

So then I managed to do my washing up and pop back to the ABC as the bride got out of her car. I thought my timing was pretty good.

The commentators came back as they got into the Landau, so I muted again and forummed with you lot for a while. Then went to bed.

Works just fine and she was thinking the same as me that when you get a black evangelical preacher anywhere near a microphone it’s going to be a while before anyone else can use it.

From the outset, it was clear that this was not going to be a standard Church of England sermon, which tradition dictates should be delivered in the tone of a very shy person asking the way to the train station.

From the outset, it was clear that this was not going to be a standard Church of England sermon, which tradition dictates should be delivered in the tone of a very shy person asking the way to the train station.

There used to be a phrase for people like him. And it was racist. And there should be more people like him, who take the opportunity when it presents.

It’s in Annabel Crabbe’s piece about the preacher man.

Works just fine and she was thinking the same as me that when you get a black evangelical preacher anywhere near a microphone it’s going to be a while before anyone else can use it.

Trust me, there a few whitey evangelical preachers that can do just the same.

Oh my. buffy doesn’t even recognise Earl Spencer.

He’s Diana’s brother.

I think I know that. But why on earth should I recognize him?

Earl Spencer – brother of Princess Diana:

Earl Warren – ran the commission that investigated JFK’s death:

Hopefully, that helps to sort out any confusion.

How long was it?

14 minutes.

That’s what I guessed.

I’m a bit surprised how many people here actually watched it.

I wasn’t one of them, although I posted in the thread. Mrs V watched it I was bored after thirty seconds and came into the office so I could read you lot and the news and other internet stuff.

Only ever heard one preacher deliver a sermon, and have me wanting to come back for more: Reverend Cleophus James.

I wouldn’t recognise him either.

That’s why he has to wear that hat with ‘Princess Diana’s brother’ written across the front of it.

I can’t recall any sermons that weren’t boring. I do know a very beautiful (in soul) churchman. Almost (but not quite) could convince me on religion. And his church (the hierarchy part of it) have treated him very shabbily.

It wasn’t Fergie I keeps tellins ya. I’d now a proper Fergie whens I sees one. Twas a pretty poor attempt at a Fergie look alike. Just remember you heard it here first when the scandal breaks.

They made the right decision when they refused to marry Edward and Wallis Simpson, they would have gone all gospel by now.

don’t you have to let them breed first? Populate or perish…

I was thinking the six wives of Harry the first.

It was pointed out to me recently that Princess Di was the second princess to die in a car crash.
Princess Grace of Monaco came first.

you can always look at project camelot where the british intelligence services were bumping off their own scientists. its a shame they bumped off turing , imagine what he might have gone on to do.

April 17, 1987: Shani Warren, 26
Expertise: Personal assistant in a company called Micro Scope, which was taken over by GEC Marconi less than four weeks after her death.
Circumstance of Death: Found drowned in 18 inches of water, not far from the site of David Greenhalgh’s bridge fall. Warren died exactly one week after the death of Stuart Gooding and serious injury to Greenhalgh, and the same day as the death of George Kountis (see above). She was found gagged with a noose around her neck. Her feet were also bound and her hands tied behind her back.
Coroner’s verdict: Open.
(It was said that Warren had gagged herself, tied her feet with rope, then tied her hands behind her back and hobbled to the lake on stiletto heels to drown herself.)

Hilda Murrell (3 February 1906 – 23? March 1984) was a British rose grower, naturalist, diarist and campaigner against nuclear power and nuclear weapons. She was abducted and found murdered five miles from her home in Shropshire. Despite a conviction based on DNA and fingerprint evidence and a confession, the case remains controversial and subject to conspiracy theories.
