Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Gosh, I have been here 30+ years and I don't know what SWMBO is
I am going to TRY to get up at 4 am to watch it live online. I know I can watch it after the fact but it's just not the same
I've been looking for hints about Kate's dress - what it will look like - but I can't find a darned thing!
Cheers, are you staying up all night?

I love royal weddings. I watched Diana's and Sarah's but there's something special about this one. Not only will William be king one day, but I actually think this marriage might last! That's special!!!
I also think William and Kate are more "normal" than past Royals. They have known each other for a long time, are best friends, and they appear to have behaved like normal young people when they were growing up.

My mum is coming over to my sisters place and we are packing up the kitchen dishes for her (she has LOTS) while we watch the Royal Wedding.

I was talking of the sun in summer. It was in response to a post about high heat somewhere. (here it is: #1530).
Here on the West Coast of Canada, we have similar temperatures to the UK and if the sun is beating in through the window it can get quite hot. I have noticed a few properties on Rightmove that have ceiling fans so I suppose someone else thinks it's an issue too.

I was searching around on Google about the dress and no one knows a thing, it seems. Usually they let out a few hints but I can find nothing this time.

But I also hope that this Marriage works ---- one thing for sure Kate cant have any second thoughts in this wedding ---- like a normal couple could, ---- not with a third of the WORLDS population watching, --- thats 2 BILLION people, Ohhhh I would get a little nervous to say the least if I were William.

Amen, not to mention lots of snobs* and a lack of community spirit.
* Not saying all southerners are snobs obviously, but there's a sizable element. Whenever I read the comment sections of articles about the north in national newspapers, I realize that the south is filled with people who have ever been north of Watford and who are convinced that all of the north (plus Scotland and Wales) looks like Coronation Street, only more grim. I swear they think we stagger around half-starved, holding out our cloth caps in the hopes of a penny or two, which we will of course immediately spend on beer, fags and lottery tickets (if a violent hoodie doesn't steal it first. )
