to not give a shit that two complete strangers are getting married tomorrow?

[OnMeTod]

Aarghhh - all over the news and papers. No I am not excited that two over priviledged toffs are getting married. Don't really care and can't understand people who do really .

What does this mean for us - the people of Britain? Errr not much really.

I can not believe the hysteria around this. I'm not suppose to be working but i'm going in tomorow just to avoid it.

ilovesprouts we've had back to back cartoons for getting on for a week now, tomorrow I will be encouraging dd to watch some more

Funnys how exactly does two people getting married that you don't know and who don't know you, bring something positive to your life? I must be missing something.

My Ds said he wanted to go to college tomorrow as a protest

Beertricks crossposted!

SWC not 'feel better' but provide distraction.

I agree funnys whats wrong in momentarily taking our minds off things, having a glass of wine or two and enjoying two young people getting married. I watch strangers get married every week when I watch 'Dont tell the Bride'

lol at the bitter chippy people on this thread.

enjoy it

it's a time to celebrate and be happy - take your bitter hats off. please.

swc you are deliberately misunderstanding me. The point I am making is not 'A Royal Wedding Will Make My Friend Feel Better About Her DD' but rather 'There is enough shit stuff in the world, so why try to turn a joyous occasion shit?'

And what was the phrase you were looking for BTW? Because the sentence you wrote was bollocks.

Was actually wondering what was going to happen in the world tomorrow that needed to be buried in the media underneath all this wedding hysteria. Are they testing a new type of bomb? Large Hadron thingymebob going to explode? Signing up for something?

Regarding funnys friends' dc, have nobody heard of Patch Adams, a doctor who tried to help his patients with humor and laughter?

There is time and space for everything - serious stuff and a bit of light fun. Please someone tell me what day in the calendar is appropriate as a true National holiday... I think you have absolutely NOTHING. [cwink]

But why is it a 'joyous occassion' for anyone other than the bride, groom and their family?

PS I still lose a day's pay - self employed - but i don't care. I'm going to enjoy myself.

joyous occassion? wtf
it's a wedding of two dull strangers - and we're paying

theinet will you lose your EMA?

I shall not be watching it. Nor shall I be attending any events in celebration of it. I do not care if that makes me a killjoy, unpatriotic or sour.

ha ha if only it was available when i was a 6th former - i had to get a part time job - and didn't moan.

also - we're not paying as far as i know. not that i would care either way.

swc "trust me, when you find out your child has something bad the matter with them, winning the fucking lottery wouldn't distract you."

I sincerely hope nothing challenging happens in your life, I fear you will fall at the first hurdle. having an attitude like that.

so unless it is happening to you, it's not joyous? Can you not be happy for other people? or are you too self absorbed?

Seriously. Its a once in a generation event and we should all enjoy it for what it is.

snigger,at the gushy sycophants.who think anything other than dripping deference is bitter. gawd heavens to betsy,how dare anyone not be peeing their pants with excitement,how did that happen?

once in a generation event
funnys do you work for hallmark or something? you rock cliche
