Had to laugh at Vic Beckham, looked like she lost $50 and found 5cents, more like she was attending a funeral. Talk about a sour face

I noticed that to Peter ...she wasn't the center of attention, so she was not happy.

Personally, I think the Beckham's are woefully ' over rated ' .... who really cares... what's all the fuss about them.

Hi Raymo
I wasnt having a go at the Royal Family and I agree the concept is great for their economy and providing a structure for society.

I was having a go at folk who sit in public places and talk so others can hear how important they are by dropping names or talking about stuff really for the benefit of those near by.
The couple I referred to were clearly making out that they knew the folk in the photo which seemed structured to have folk think they mingled in that crew...maybe they did maybe they didn't it was their putting on the dog that got me.

Unfortunately I missed the wedding and I did so want to see it to check how many me and the Queen know in common cause I am meeting a mate fir coffee and well I want to show off in public and show the folk around just how important I am☺

Our Queen should have a palace or two in Australia so we can get some of those tourist dollars.
And also the Pope should spend a month or two here.

Alex , you should ' tour ' Australia , that will draw the crowds in....folks will spend up ' big '

If I remember rightly, the entire royal family costs each U.K. citizen
about 30cents per year; great value for money.
I'm not a monarchist, I don't really care much either way.

In addition to what you said Ray, going back to when the civil list was formed and the royals started getting government handouts for their royal duties etc, they traded in return most of the income from the Crown Estate, so in fact even without the tourism thing, the government is very much up on the deal.

Don't care either way about the royals but the saturation coverage, the drooling no namers with their insipid commentary, the hero worshipping commoners who live their lives vicariously by worshipping those born onto privilege and not giving a tinkers cuss about them. If that's what makes them happy then good for them, Me? I watched the footy, then when it was over handed the missus the remote then microwaved my head which was better than being subjected to the fawning overzealous pretentiousness of the commentators watching this dross.
Besides both Meaghan's dad and Harry's dad didn't turn up which was disappointing

I will take that as a compliment but being exhibited as a freak show would take too much of my time.


..time which is important to me..I only have a little left so I hope folk can forgive me that I want to use it on my personal interests.

But I do feel guilty knowing that maybe if I were out there I could help someone or inspire them to be all they can be...but hopefully they will work it out without me...hopefully I can leave room for folk who need to be there ...the only reason I retired was to let someone else have my spot...

My condition is only achieved by not interacting with other humans which although very pleasant on the one hand can be be intoxicatingly perfect on the other...it is so nice to be ordinary although different to the majority.

I pity those in the Royal family ..it is a full time job..they can never be compensated for what they missed in life and can never know..freedom..few ever expierence freedom and the higher you try to position yourself on the ranking ladder the more insecure you can be...me is a different thing..its funny, its hard to know you are different and you have what others want ... I think it is a sexual thing sometimes...if you have the key it seems simple..
I am happy with solitude and if you cant be happy with solitude...well you tick a whole other way. ..
Anyways for comedians I like George Carlin as he just see things the way they are and Jim Jefferies who shows folk can tolerate profanity when they sence there may be truth to follow.
Its all a game. Good on the Royal Family... they are there...good on the manipulstive folk that haunt Clives visions. ..if you are going to play the game play it full on...they do...my respect for that.
Just because you see what con folk are up to does not mean they are unworthy of respect.

It was on and Alice watched it, I saw some of it and thought it was pretty good really, more down to earth so to speak than other royal events.

I was once on the security detail for Diana and Charles and was even asked to take Charles windsurfing during their Australian visit so have followed their boys growing up. I did watch the wedding and quite enjoyed seeing Harry get hitched.

They are without doubt a great drawcard for tourism UK. I think their mother would have been proud of how the boys have turned out.

Ordinary folk with ordinary stuff to deal with.
Sadly their role is to be the center of attention which is great for max five years...look at rock stars. ..they get there then they realise being at the top is a real pain.

Humans are as interesting as ..well almost as anything David A can show us.

Something that is funny but respectful taking into account global warming and the rights of minoritoes and avoiding class wealth or religion please.
