To not give a sh*t about the royal wedding?

Just that really. People at work shoving it down your throats, all over TV, in the news, literally everywhere! AIBU to not actually care and think there’s more important things going on in the world?

Half the threads about the wedding are ones bitching about it.

I don't give two shits about it so I've just been hiding the threads, but I'm fucking sick of so much bloody whining.

Just shut up

Jotribiani · 18/05/2018 22:14

Summed it up just how I’m thinking! postivevibez

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT IT! And I don’t know why. I’m absolutely not a royalist. I’m feeling very confused at myself but I just can’t wait. I just love a wedding tbh. I am also not getting out very much these days due to young dcs.

ThePinkOcelot · 18/05/2018 22:22

I don’t give a shit either but I’m going to put it on the telly in the morning because I think my mam might enjoy watching it, seeing people dressed up etc.

TheFatkinsDiet · 18/05/2018 22:26

@thepink

I’m the same as your ma! Just want to see all the people dressed up. Christ that’s sad. I did used to have a life of my own you know Grin.

YouTheCat · 18/05/2018 22:30

I shall be doing my utmost to avoid it.

FizzyGreenWater · 18/05/2018 22:32

The tampon is apparently a homage to the ending of male succession, as well as a symbolic representation of the difficulties that every marriage faces.

wildgirls · 18/05/2018 22:37

I’m also excited! Grin I have no interest in The Royals but I just love that my little girl has been hearing all about it at school and feels part of it. I like when everyone comes together and gets excited!! But it could very easily be avoided..
If you wanted to be a misery guts! 😉

ForalltheSaints · 18/05/2018 22:38

A couple of days without the main news story being Brexit, how can we cope?!!

TheFatkinsDiet · 18/05/2018 22:41

@wildgirls

I was so looking forward to watching some of it with dd tomorrow, as she’s had wedding week at pre-school. She’s not remotely bothered and says she doesn’t want to watch it. Wants to go swimming with dh instead. Pfft. I’ll watch it with my baby instead! Ha! Might even buy a piece of cake to have. Any excuse for a party... a sad, sad party for one, plus a teeny baby Grin.

BeyondPink · 18/05/2018 22:41

There's a wedding? Wink

Yanbu op, though I do find the weird and random things you learn about royalty from mn interesting, as much as Im not particularly interested in the actual wedding. But then I was considering starting a thread on it in the royal family section, as it seems to be the only place where there aren't six million threads on the subject. Grin

willstarttomorrow · 18/05/2018 22:46

Lots people do not give a shit and get the oppurtunity to tell the world they do not give a shit. Some people are way over invested and have been camping in Windsor for days. A significant proportion of the population have no real opinion but are quite entertained by the tabloid shitstorm. Something for every one really.

wildgirls · 18/05/2018 22:47

@thefatkinsdiet
I reckon the excitement at school is way more interesting than the real thing!!
I’m really not ‘one of those people’ but can’t understand why people could get annoyed by it all! It’s just really nice! People are happy, getting married, this makes lots more people excited and happy.. what’s not to like???

Takfujuimoto · 18/05/2018 22:48

I'm not bothered by the wedding, I hope they have a great day and that it lasts.

But, I have noticed today since their pics are everywhere that they have the same face, their eyes and noses are set very similarly.

Am I the only one?

I also noticed the same thing with a fb friend, her dp looks like her twin brother and their dog is strikingly similar as well. Confused

TheFatkinsDiet · 18/05/2018 22:51

I know @wild! I recently found myself saying, “they just look like they really love each other”, and thought - shit! I’m becoming one of those fuckwits who thinks the royals are their mates or something Grin.

CadyHeron · 18/05/2018 22:53

You care enough to start yet another Royal Wedding thread to get everyone talking even more about it, though.
Go wave a flag and eat cake, you know you want to Grin

To (mis)quote the legendary Buzz Liteyear:

“You are a sad little OP, and I pity you.”

RedDwarves · 18/05/2018 22:53

I'm sick to the tits of being asked if I'm going to be watching.

I'm Australian. I don't give a toss about the royal family.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 18/05/2018 22:54

This must be the 90th thread about how boring the royal wedding is.

‘I’m bored of the wedding’ has become the new wedding.

Don’t watch it. Don’t read about it.

It’s not that big a deal.

I’m not interested in lots of things, so i just ignore them and let people have their fun.

Looking forward to ‘who’s bored of the world cup’ in a month, yay.

HateSummer · 18/05/2018 22:55

I’m excited. I’m in it for the goss. I want to see if I can catch any side eyes or looks from anyone. I got into it the last few days when her dad started playing Hokey Cokey. It’s such a big affair, I hope they last forever together...I sadly don’t think they will.

ladymariner · 18/05/2018 23:07

I started off not really giving a toss but as the week has gone on....well, the bunting is up, the scones, jam and cream are in, the gin has been stockpiled, we have a ton of strawberries for the Eton Mess and several flags to wave....guess we're a bit more into it now!!! Looking forward to it, can't wait to see what they're all wearing. Do love a bit of pomp and circumstance 🍓🍸💒👸💍

Blankscreen · 18/05/2018 23:09

I'm not planning on watching it. The media circus is just boring.

No one knows what has gone on and all the boring speculation about her dad speculation about her dress yawn

PunkrockerGirl59 · 18/05/2018 23:11

You don't give a shit about the wedding, yet you obviously give enough shits to start a thread about it. Don't watch it, ignore it, leave the country if you feel that strongly, but you do realize that nobody actually cares? Confused
The fact that you don't give a shit about the wedding will not detract from anyone's enjoyment of it.
HTH

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 18/05/2018 23:16

I’m not bothered, but then I’m not bothered to even start a thread, that I’m bothered about the royal wedding.... even tho this thread is about the royal wedding.... I do wish them a happy wedding day however & wish it’s everything they dreamed of and more 💙💖

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 18/05/2018 23:27

I don’t give 2 fs about royal wedding. I’m looking forward to the footy supporting my team, hoping we beat them Manc t**ts. 😊
