THE Wedding

I spent two weeks in London during the time of Prince Charles and Lady Di's wedding. But I didn't get an invitation so watched it on the big screen in the hotel. After the wedding a girl and I took the tube into Waterloo Station and got a close up of Charles and Di on the back of a train. It was a great time, I went to Hyde Park the night before for the so called "Batchelor Party", just me and 500,000 other people. I bought the normal trinkets/souvenirs of the wedding, stamps, etc. Like I said, I had a great time. Wish I was going for this one.

You forgot to add the following so I'll help out. No thanks necessary, I'm a giver:

Quote:
I really hated the whole idea and fought against having anything to do with a royal wedding, just pretending to have any interest in it at all caused sharp pains in my temples.

But the girlfriend insisted and eventually I caved and went along with her even though it would have been more fun sticking searing hot metal spears into my eyes.
She promised that if I did this incredibly "un-manly" thing with her she'd more than make it up to me, if you know what I mean wink wink.
Later on she kept her promise so my MANCARD was still intact and paid up for another month.

I really hope my wife doesn't try to make we watch the upcoming wedding on TV with her. I'd really hate to have my mancard confiscated, even for a little while.
Sincerely,
Dean

I couldn't care less about the wedding and wouldn't watch it if you paid me to. I think I'm gonna watch some paint dry and grass grow instead.

This sums it up for me. Royal Family my a$$...Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked...
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
King Arthur: Bloody peasant!
Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you?
