Royal Wedding

[Bigga]

He is anti Royal - my last post on the subject on this thread.

And 30 mins later...??

He still congratulated them. I like young Harry, I watched a bit of it but was scunnered by the American bishop.

Im not a supporter of hereditary titles either, but, the two brothers are good lads.

I thought the abuse the girl took early days was shameful and I’m glad Harry came and called that out.

The monarchy needs to connect more and these young guys and their better halves I hope will do that.

Monarchy is a bit like family. You can't choose them. I genuinely think we have been spoilt as QE2 has been a class act from the start. I think she understands her role and has played it consistently and intelligently for decades. Charles is a different kettle of fish and I think has the potential to become unpopular very quickly once he accedes as he will definitely 'interfere' more in the mechanics of how UK runs. I think he completely lacks the judgement of his mother and has been shown to be morally lacking. Wether he survives a politically changing UK with Brexit and Scottish independence over the next 20 years is anyones guess, but I would guess not. I would expect their role to be much diminished.

Harry is a sound lad. Clearly has his heart in the right place and sponsors some fantastic activity with real insight and energy. I hope he has a long and happy marriage and he continues to progress his work in Africa and with Invicta.

The emptyhead will destroy every thread going with anything anti labour. Its relentless by him.

Reported. I have told you before. Please don’t post about me.

Off topic but as you are from Chicago, my mate (Kelvin) was telling a few of us in the pub he and his wife had booked to go to the Windy City. They are both keen cyclists and did the Dovestone Reservoir regularly. One of the lads mentioned Lake Michigan was relatively close to Chicago, Kelvin's missus said to him, "we could hire bikes and cycle round it" Just like they did at Dovestones!

Haha!

My parents were coming over once and said, “We found a really cheap flight to Vancouver Canada, so we were thinking we could drive from there!”

On the map, it’s only a few inches! ;-)

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Crazy name.

Yep, no M in her name: Cheryl! ;-)

Can’t say fairer than that!

Wish them both luck, and with her heritage, Africa seems a natural focus of their work.

I had a girlfriend fly to NYC one time, wanted to know which bus route and station to go to for Idaho. You know, it's one of those 'I' states

On a more micro scale, I asked my brother (visiting me in Chicago) if he wanted to go to the Outlet Mall for some good deals. “Sure!” We hop in the car and about 45mins later, all 70mph highway driving, we were there. He gets out and says, “If you’d have said it was in Birmingham, I’d have said ‘No!’”

Once you get settled here, long distances seem smaller. However, they will never be as small as some people think they must be! This is a HUUUGE country!
