    had to look it up, a British royal wedding... again. something else to miss. Yawwwwwn. They really should spice these things up a bit... Game of Thrones has good royal weddings - use some of those ideas: dab of poison here, drop of blood there, that'll get em all talking.

    Given the reports about her dysfunctional family, I wouldn't be surprised. :)

    :confused: Isn't this her second marriage? :)

      Sending her off to England... don't give me any ideas.

      I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

        Me too. Apparently there is a Wendyball game scheduled for the same day. And the pubs are planning on opening from 07:00, so I'd imagine it'll be a busy day for hospitals and emergency services as well...

            Don't mention the war! I did once, but I think I got away with it. So! It's all forgotten now, and let's hear no more about it. So, that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads.

              War? I thought that this was your generous way of helping us to get rid of some things. How about these target coordinates: 57.89°N 05.47°W. Not much damage to be feared there.

                  They haven't quite spiced it up to Game of Thrones levels but there's a bit of spice - The groom: a ginger guy masquerading as a royal when actually he's the love child Diana (only a royal by marriage) and an officer in the British army (definitely not a royal!) The bride: an American divorcee (Wallis Simpson anyone?) and she's not white (I'm sure Phillip will have something awkward to say there....) Not that I'll be watching, it's FA Cup Final Day!

                    I'd been wondering - not a lot, but a bit - about the wedding that is happening this weekend; it's all over the UK news. Now I realize: it's an American actress he's marrying, not the German Chancellor ... explains why I was getting those odd looks ...

                    Consider this - if they had a son he'd be an American and a British Royal at the same time. He could be the King of England and the President of the United States at the same time.

                    If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

                            That's not all. Under current US law, he would have to pay US income tax on his worldwide income. We thus have the interesting situation of the British Royal family paying taxes to the colonies, rather than receiving them. :D

                              I'm certain that the Chancellor will be quite happy to go to England. Your problem is that the English will send her right back. :)
