MrDuck Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Bit disappointing that here in Oz there were only 4 of the major free-to-air TV stations broadcasting it live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I just overheard a woman at work telling someone that she decided to go to windsor this weekend as she realised that as she's in her 60s she probably won't be able to see many more royal events. "I'll hopefully get to the see the queen die and the coronation and that'll be it. I'll probably be in my 90s when Prince George gets married." "I'LL HOPEFULLY GET TO SEE THE QUEEN DIE". Odd thing for a royalist to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 Luckily I was on a stag do this weekend so saw absolutely none of the wedding. To be fair, if the coverage was just of the ceremony then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I have no particular affection for the Royals, but I'm not bothered by them anyway. I can understand why some would be interested in an event like that. What drives me up the wall is the hours of coverage before an event like this. Some journo walking down the Mall or wherever asking mongs on the street what they think. As if anybody in the entire country gives a tiny shit about Jackie from Middlesbrough coming down for the day with her mom to watch it. It's just the same inane comments over and over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Radio 4 on Sunday they had a review of the papers, and one of the guest reviewers was Pat Nevin. He pointed out (with no little disdain), that in the Mail on Sunday, the first FORTY-SIX pages had no news except for coverage of the wedding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Nevin made some really good points about the general quality of 'journalism' in this country and the one dimensional reporting on the FA Cup and the wedding etc.. I thought he came over quite well. Even sort of hinting that he felt sorry for British journo's as the public get what the public deserve, because they keep buying this crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I noticed that news of the school shooting broke on here about half an hour before it was on Sky News as they were showing some wedding shite and wouldn't break away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that really annoyed me was that everyone going on about what a perfect couple they are, and how clearly deeply in love they are blah blah blah. You see what they want you to see (as Liam Gallagher once said). Jackie from Middlesbrough, you know absolutely nothing about them as a loving couple or not On that theme I think it'll fall apart, very British Prince marries divorced mixed race American movie actress who seems to have problems with her own family... I give 5 years MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you only get a few royal weddings, school shootings are ten-a-penny these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate was a blazer boy steward at Edgbaston at the time Pippa Middleton was dating Alex Loudon who had a brief stint with Warwickshire before retiring and pursuing a career in the City, banking. My mate said Pippa showed up a few times in the players lounge etc and he said she was simply stunning esp in jeans or on one occasion shorts. She was quite a nice bird on the odd time my mate (briefly) spoke to her, not at all up her own....erm...arse. Unbelievably Loudon eventually dumped her as she wasn't marriage material (his words) Edited May 21, 2018 by mottaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
