content: Yep, im in the UK, i rather just see a 5 minute news report about it, but i expect it will be going all day. Why the heck did they make it a bank holiday. Why shut the country down so everyone has no choice but to absorb this crap. Why didn't they just announce that they have got married, we could all just wish them well and get on with our lives, instead of all this malarkey.

content: How often does a future King marry? Last Royal Wedding with a Bank Holiday was July 1981 when Prince Charles married Lady Diana.I much much prefer to have Prince Charles ( he will be known as King George VII ) on the throne as head of the United Kingdom rather than someone like George W Bush, Bill Clinton, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Ill or Robert Mugabe as president of the United Repubic of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

content: Yeah these Royals don't have a wedding every day so who can deny them their festival of hats and frowns.What irks me is the days and hours of palaver that accompanies this and similar events. We've been watching live satellite crosses to empty pommy streets for days, along with plane loads of has-been TV journos interviewing some man who knows a guy who knows the bloke that manicures the royal gazelle. Cheap TV programming becomes preferred TV programming and they remain clueless why Joe Public is turning off.Trying to write concise code with Ita lisping on about the beauty of Belgian chiffon and how it matches the duke's boil is not easy. If it was in my home the TV's big red switch would have been thrown hours ago. The solution is usually so easy.

content: I just watched the wedding live from 10.30am when the cars were taking the most important guests to Westminster Abbey through the whole service to the procession to Buck House, had my lunch until the balcony appearance. Just 3 hours of telly and I did enjoy it because it reminded me of the weddings that I attended.I think Kate and Wills are a far better match than Charles and Diana were close on 30 years ago.Oh, I hated Princess Beatrice's hat because it made her look like one of the Royal cars, you know the ones with the shields above the windscreens!!!

My Daughter married last November (5th) and It brought back happy ( and sad) memory's for me and am sure many others.Lighten up it only cost £40 million, less than £1 per person in the UK. We have spent a lot more blowing the shit out of 'terrorists' in the name of democracy.

content: I find that people who go around getting wound up and bitching about esoteric things that have neither done them any good or bad are generally just grumpy old b@stards even in their 20s and 30s.This is just another way of obsessive attention seeking. Somehow finding that someone else is as grumpy or if even grumpier should make you feel betterGo back under your benches and keep bitching about celebrity sh!t or unfair history or oil prices or taxes. Ironically royals are the least publicity hungry types of all TV sludge.Now, where are my pills?!

We were happily cut off from the world for 7 whole day's although we did watch part of the wedding on TV before heading back.Hero999 was also with me so hopefully no one placed bets on him either

content: IMPORTANT: To those individuals who think of the world as a heavenly place of innocence, where everything is alright and nothing goes wrong, I will kindly suggest to ignore the rest this message. To anyone else, I will say this: Fasten your seatbelts, because this will be a rough ride! Actually, I consider this message asfood for thought; notfor fight.A second caveat is about the most frequent mistake most people make: Please, DO NOT confusethe peopleof a country (or of a religion or a society in general) withthe leadersof that country (or religion/ society/ etc.). For example, it is not the Americans/ British/ Israelis/ Greeks/ etc.; it is the American/ British/ Israeli/ Greek/ etc.government! It is not the Christians/ Jews/ Muslims/ Hindus/ etc.; instead, it is their priests/ rabbis/ muftis/ brahmins/ etc.! And so on...So, having made clear the usual misconceptions, off we go!Aw, come on, people! All the members of any European royal family of the Common Era, queen included, claim to be descendants of the fictional king Solomon's bloodline lineage. Howcabbalisticdoes this sound to be? Please, notice the keyword "claimto be," as it is of the most importance in the previous sentence!But, you see, they do not teach such things in schools... Instead, they insist teaching us all how Abraham, for instance, prostituted his spouse for profit; twice...Now, why do you think all of them areinbred half-breeds? The correct answer is: Because, this is the only way to keep theirstolen wealthand the inheritance within the family. It is a practical matter, of course! How cabbalistic does this sound to be, also?Additionally, due to their inbreeding they have been mostly producingmonstersthat died prematurely. Thus, theeugenics experimentsthey have been obsessively doing since the second half of the nineteenth century; those eugenics experiments they exported to the U.S. during the first decade of the twentieth century, and to Germany also in 1933, fully financed by the Rockefellers, which is the U.S. branch of the Rothschilds that ownThe Crown.And, for anyone's information, we all have suffered from monarchy; Hellas included. This is not an exclusive privilege of the British people to be suffering fromtheir owners, known as "The City" or "The Corporation of The City of London" as it was initially called or "The Square Mile"; later on, this very corporation euphemistically adapted the termBritish Commonwealth)...But, monarchy, actually, is apopulace manipulationtrick older than cabbala itself, since it can be traced further back in time: Has anyone ever wondered what the term "Social Engineering" really stands for? (And, yes, that "A Hellene" who compiled the essay is no one else but yours truly!)Now, what isThe Crown? Well, to the majority of people the words "Crown" and "City" in reference to London refer to the queen or the capital of England.But, alas, this is not the truth. The "City" is in fact a privately owned Corporation --and a Sovereign State-- occupying an irregular rectangle of 677 acres (1.05781 sq. mile, or 2.74 sq. Km) and located right in the heart of the 610 square mile 'Greater London' area. The population of 'The City' is listed at just over eleven thousand, whereas the population of 'Greater London' (32 boroughs) is almost eight million."The Crown" is a committee of twelve to fourteen men who rule the independent sovereign state known as London or 'The City.' 'The City' is not part of England. It is not subject to the Sovereign. It is not under the rule of the British parliament. Like the Vatican in Rome and Washington D.C. that is bordered by the states of Virginia and Maryland, it is a separate, independentcity-statewith its own flag, legislation system, police force, etc."The City", which is often called "the wealthiest square mile on earth," is ruled over by a Lord Mayor. Here are grouped together Britain's great financial and commercial institutions: Wealthy banks, dominated by the privately-owned (Rothschild controlled) Bank of England, Lloyd's of London, the London Stock Exchange, and the offices of most of the leading international trading concerns. Here, also, is located Fleet Street, the heart and core of the newspaper and publishing worlds.The Lord Mayor, who is elected for a one year stint, is the monarch in the City. When the Queen of England wishes to visit the City she is met by the Lord Mayor at Temple Bar, the symbolic gate of the City. She bows and asks for permission to enter his private, sovereign State. During such State visits, the Lord Mayor in his robes and chain, and his entourage in medieval costume, outshines the royal party, which can dress up no further than service uniforms! The small clique who rule the City dictate to the British Parliament. It tells them what to do, and when. In theory Britain is ruled by a Prime Minister and a Cabinet of close advisers.As the former British Prime Minister of England during the late 1800s Benjamin D'Israeli wrote:"So you see... the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."(Coningsby, The Century Co., N.Y., 1907, p. 233).It is important to recognise the fact that two separate empires were operating under the guise of the British Empire. One was the Crown Empire and the other the British Empire.The colonial possessions that were white were under the sovereign - i.e. under the authority of the British government. Such nations as the Union of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada were governed under British law. These only represented thirteen percent of the people who made up the inhabitants of the British Empire.All the other parts of the British Empire - nations like India, Egypt, Bermuda, Malta, Cyprus and colonies in Central Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and Gibraltar were all Crown Colonies. These were not under British rule. The British parliament had no authority over them.As the Crown owned the committee known as the British government there was no problem getting the British taxpayer to pay for naval and military forces to maintain the Crown's supremacy in these areas.The City reaped fantastic profits from its operations conducted under the protection of the British armed forces. This wasn't British commerce and British wealth. The international bankers, prosperous merchants and those members of the aristocracy who were part of the "City" machine accumulated vast fortunes.About seventy years ago Vincent Cartwright Vickers stated that :"[...] financiers in reality took upon themselves, perhaps not the responsibility, but certainly the power of controlling the markets of the world and therefore the numerous relationships between one nation and another, involving international friendship and mistrusts... Loans to foreign countries are organised and arranged by the City of London with no thought whatsoever of the nation's welfare but solely in order to increase indebtedness upon which the City thrives and grows rich..."In "Empire of the City" E. C. Knuth said:"This national and mainly international dictatorship of money which plays off one country against another and which, through ownership of a large portion of the press converts the advertisement of its own private opinion into a semblance of general public opinion, cannot for much longer be permitted to render Democratic Government a mere nickname. Today we see through a glass darkly: for there is so much which it would not be in the public interest to divulge."...Want more? I am sorry but my keyboard is steaming right now!

content: I don't bother with gossip or tabloids I know their game. I haven't forgotten when a little 16 year old slut and her mother con-cocked a plan to make money out of the papers: she screwed every other boy in the neighborhood got pregnant claimed it was a 14 year old and that there had only been him, caused outrage, was in one tabloid exclusively for about two weeks made tons of money out of giving exclusivity to this paper only for us to find another 16 year old was the father. Apart from getting a lot of money out of the papers and having huge benefit prospects she was never charged for having sex with a 14 year old and her mother should have faced the law for letting it happen under her roof. They both should have been revealed for the lairs they are and potentially gone to prison. But no lots of stupid ignorant english people bought the paper to lap this story up like the tweerps they are !
