Then ignore the thread, and certainly don't post in it.

Yep, i couldn't quite understand what FoF was actually going on about. I thought the paint stripper was kicking in.

Hmm..it was a joke..just like your comment Undertaker. Why take it in this way?

Well your jokes are about as funny as sticking pins in your eyes. So forgive me for not understanding what you were going on about because none of it made a lot of sense. Now you have explained, i'll go find the needle and thread and sew up my sides after they just split with laughter.

It's a four day weekend! Just turn off the telly and enjoy the extra holidays everyone.

Turn the t.v off for FOUR days?

Yes, because some people will gain some sort of feel-good factor from events like this. In these times of austerity, that's no bad thing.

I have no interest in things like this but whether it's a wedding, celebration, funeral or a remembrance service, the British do these fantastically well.

It looks like there will be Snooker on at the same time, as it's the World Championships. Nice one.

I don't look TV much, so I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Is it?!?

I wonder if the press have picked up on that yet ?!

Well for what it's with FoF, I picked up the One Of The Crowd reference in your joke.

Retro.

Well I favour a republic down under.
Mainly to sort out the confusion around who is our head of state and
what powers do they have.
It is not an anti-UK thing. Don't believe what the papers say.

I think the monarchy in the UK does give the place some colour.
What's the old saying, at least it brings the tourists.

What I object to is not the monarchy but the monarchists.
The monarchy is used as a tool to maintain a class system.

'Cos tourists are money.

Britain will have tourists if the Royals all snuffed it tomorrow. We have always had a long and rich history of scientists, writers, artists, dictators, murderers and composers, relics to ensure tourists. I hope if there's street parties the neighbours will be considerate and make sure there's room for me to get the car out.

Feel good factor, how do you know this?

Probably because of all the bullshit that happened in the streets when the other muppets got married.
