Mumsnet Royal Wedding commentary bingo!

Hello wedding-watchers,

Inspired by your marvellous suggestions we thought you might wish to partake in a spot of Royal Wedding commentary bingo to enliven the dull longueurs while foreign dignitaries arrive pomp and ceremony.

With the likes of Eamonn, Huw, Sophie Raworth (yay!), Paul Burrell (!), Fiona Bruce, teen favourite Fearne Cotton, Royal favourite Nicholas Witchell, and veteran Jennie Bond talking us through the proceedings, there will be hours of commentary gold to endure keep us going.

Normal bingo rules apply: print off and distribute our bingo cards among your co-watchers and every time you hear a phrase that's on your card, cross it off.

In the somewhat unlikely it must be said event that you get full house, drop us a line with your filled-out card and we'll rustle up a right royal reward (possibly even some Lush Royal Wedding Vajazzle glitter).
[cgrin]

Disclaimer: any offence that our Royal Wedding commentary bingo causes is entirely accidental. We unreservedly apologise in advance to any real persons, living or dead, who are offended, or even a little bit put out.

brilliant - just the ticket - thank you! [cgrin]

ilovesprouts · 28/04/2011 11:28

i will give it a miss thanks GrinHmm

Well I'll probably be watching on my own from my sick bed so this is very helpful to pass the time Smile

Was disappointed you didn't have "so moving" on any of the cards. It seems everyone and everything even remotely connected to the wedding is "very moved" "so moved" "moving" ad infinitum.

I wonder if I could play all 4 cards at once?!

Quite a few of them have already been uttered /:
Was planning on watching with the sound turned down, sticking on Bat out of hell and just as she's about to say " I Do " cranking up ' Paradise by the dashboard light part II " Stop right there..." :)

HerRoyalHighnessPrincessCervix · 28/04/2011 11:52

Hurrah [cgrin]

can i confess that i have just bedecked my living room with special bunting (high quality, with Kate and wills faces on) and hung up a few flags? DH is going to be so pleased when he gets home.

HerRoyalHighnessPrincessCervix · 28/04/2011 12:11

ah. i have just accidentally posted the link onto DD2s facebook.

whoops

AbsDuCroissant · 28/04/2011 13:24

Bugger. I now not really regret being on vacation in a different time zone tomorrow rather than being glued to the TV screen.

I'm glad Jennie Bond's back! She's legen - wait for it, just like Kate did - dary in my family. Particulary for coming up with a discrete "sh*t's going down" scale for Royal Family shenanigans. Mildly concerned - someone old in the family's really ill, concerned - Queen mum breaks hip, alarmed - end of monarchy as we know it.

HipposGoBeserk · 28/04/2011 13:53

I shall be playing from Oman.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 28/04/2011 14:36

I pity the fucker that gets card C Grin

TheDreadPirateRoberts · 28/04/2011 15:03

I shall be too busy being the mother of the groom [cgrin]

DS (7) is playing Wills in a small pageant-y thing on the village green. Probably shouldn't wear my Anarchy in the UK shirt then...

LindsayWagner · 28/04/2011 16:59

Ooh brill. I'm going to turn the sound down and lip-read. That way, I can cheat without let or hindrance it's a little more challenging.

LindsayWagner · 28/04/2011 17:04

I've got my Miss Haversham cozzie all ready btw. By tomorrow, my bleeding mascara will be melding nicely with my rouge; I've scattered dead roses and Lily of the Valley talc around the room, to increase the ambience.

LindsayWagner · 28/04/2011 17:09

ambience? ambiance? Christ, I don't know, I've got a lot on my mind with all these RW preparations.

Hassled · 28/04/2011 19:57

Inspired :o

The only flaw to the plan is that I will be watching it alone, having been deserted by my killjoy bunch of useless republican family and friends, who have the audacity to plan to go cycling. All I can do is play Bingo by myself. Or train the cats to read overnight.

at JazzieJeff. When I look back on this historic moment from my dotage, I will think of you and your accidental RW vajazzle and laugh till my false teeth fall out. #republican

MmeSurvivedLent · 28/04/2011 20:59

Marking place.

Cant print bingo card though.

WhipMeIndiana · 28/04/2011 21:02

Think C & D are a tad more challenging than A & B

WhipMeIndiana · 28/04/2011 21:03

Hassled - how 'special' are your cats? are they in the top 2%?

WhipMeIndiana · 28/04/2011 21:05

does 'Barbra Cartland'
mean 'straight out of a BC novel'
or her ghost?

sorry if Ive missed a joke here?

WhipMeIndiana · 28/04/2011 21:05

shit.
Barbera

?
i need to go and vajazzle.

Hassled · 28/04/2011 21:06

Cats aren't too special at all, to be frank. Their speciality is bringing mice inside and then losing them. The crash reading course might well be a tad optimistic.

WhipMeIndiana · 28/04/2011 21:08

can you just ask the cats my Barbera Cartland query please? see what they think. thanks.
