Please don't add to my qoutes, there is no need, our opinions may differ but no need t0 be rude.


A billion people world wide may well disagree with me, there are many who agree also.

I also take exception to be calling dim, I make my own decisions without help from any anti or pro crap as you call it. You do not know my opinions on them so please do not tar me with your assumed brush.

I do know what the forums are for. What I fail to see is is the need to be rude to those with a different opinion and to name call. I have not been around the forums so much for a while and this is another reason to bypass them.

At one viewing point news crews are paying £30,000 for a position...not sure who to, maybe London Council. Fox news is doing at least as much coverage as the British channels.

Whatever your views about royalty there was a really good atmosphere in London this week.

And they would have criticized them if they had invited them..I for one am glad that Blair got dissed. He was one of the politicians I admired the most but since he left No. 10 I think he has done the office a disservice. Speaking tours his property portfolio; too bad he didn't so something graceful and worthwhile. Now he can't even get an invite..

Well its all perfect timing to bring much needed spending into the capital. What a great couple of years. The wedding followed by Champions League final followed next year by Olympics.

Now lets hope it is all used to leverage the spending on offer :thumbsup:

This is a public forum and I am at liberty to write what I please, however, I did not write that you were dim nor mention any crap beliefs you might hold.

It is you who should refrain from adding/attributing quotes to the wrong member, it confuses the dim reader.

P.S. The BBC now estimate 2 Billion will turn on to watch the wedding.
Two Billion happy people, now there´s a thought.

I clearly left a space between my response to your adding blah blah to my post assuming, obviously wrongly, that the distinction between replies could be seen.

The assumption you can write what you like, shows a distinct lack of concern for others. While no one expects people to tread on eggshells when posting adding YOUR comment to anothers post is misleading and incorrect.

Continually adding about the millions who are estimated to watch the wedding is rather childish. I am very happy in the thought I will not watch any of it as I am free to do. Now lets leave it at that. You like it and I don't... thank goodness we don't all like the same things.

Yeah, as Frankie Boyle would put it, 2 billion people watching the shiney shiney.

As you say, she's frequently described as being "flaquísima" and we've had the Royal Family denying she's suffering from anorexia, so for the question to be asked, she must be pretty skinny. Some of the Spanish press may be more respectful, but that reminds me of the famous El Jueves cover!

No, and calling Princess Diana an airhead, and Anne a bitch was never going to get her on the invitation list! Don't disagree with her thoughts, but easy to see why she wasn't invited.;)
