So, how about that royal family?

[Psychotic]

Zara Philips is better looking than Kate.

Also, I can't wait for the day a handsome prince sweeps me off my feet and marries me! Oh I wish I was Kate!

[Big D]

We don't get a day off here, but since we're on the other side of the world it'll be happening on our Saturday. I don't know yet whether we're getting live coverage, but I'm fairly sure it's being televised.

I'll probably be watching. I like a bit of pomp, ceremony, heraldry and grandeur.

[Old Manus]

General feeling here in the slums is lies somewhere between apathy and indignation that we should care about and celebrate two people from a family of unelected rich toffs who've never so much as stepped into the valleys in their lives, lest they catch 'peasantitis'.

I'll take the day off work though

[Shaibana]

its friday right?
This friday 23rd? its a free day for me anyway 'goede vrijdag'.. dont know what its called in english (good friday???)

William used to be so cute. The older he gets, the more he resembles Vader.

Excellent.

The more he resembles his dad, you mean.

I think everyone over here is getting stoned or acting like they're getting stoned or complaining about the people who are getting stoned or acting like they're getting stoned.

We have more important to deal with.

I don't get a day off from work. Morrisons are giving me a 'generous' extra 1/5 pay for me to work that day. Hardly worth the effort really.

I'm going to be having such fun on the 29th. Seriously I work in the Oxford Circus Flagship HMV you know the one with the protesters outside of it. And the Islamic extremists and the BNP ect have all decided they want to turn central london in to a warzone on the wedding day.

Still I gain an extra days holiday for working it but I don't get extra pay to go with.

[Jiro]

I saw this exclusive exposé about how Kate dresses the same as some other royal chick. I mean goddamn the "media" have gone to town with covering everything royal these past few weeks. There was a whole story devoted to how Kate has been stressed and lost weight so she had to have the ring resized.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Glad to know that other countries besides the USA are obsessed with the insipid lives of celebrities.

[Jessweeee♪]

What's going on with the royal family?

Prince William is getting married to his girlfriend/fiancé, Kate.

Oh. How important.

Important enough for a day off work, apparently.

Important enough that local news stations in the US took time out of the show to tell us about some casual dresses Kate bought on her shopping trip today. I guess it was better than their usual "hey did you know that you can say mean stuff on facebook and people will get mad at you for it???" filler.

[NorthernChaosGod]

My friends were telling me about how they heard coverage for this on NPR. I was pissed.

[Heath]

I don't get a day off of work because I've university finals, so you all enjoy your days off while I'm sat in a (probably) blisteringly hot library fretting over whether I can stop editing my dissertation or something. I know some friends of mine are having a garden party which started off as something apparently ironic and is now involves so much stuff that it's beyond a joke.

I'm generally relatively ambivalent about the whole thing. I wish them well and think it's nice, but I'm really not that bothered by it.

[escobert]

I want a day off today
