With great interest I note," that it is now official that it is in-appropriate ", too lampoon the Royal Wedding as the Chasers might.

But it is alright to do so, if your an acceptable old time drag queen, such as Dame Edna.
I wonder if the look-a-like clip, (on the internet), was appropriately sanitised before public viewing.

If your not able too lampoon publicly however, you can privately :

(a)Avoid the Royal Wedding through alternative Television stations.

(b)Ignore completely the RW through public displays of outward contempt and indignation.
( a sure crowd pleaser !.)

(c)Endeavour to render the RW, uncool or irrelevant, through balanced discussion.

(d)Threaten to have your Royalist relatives severed from the family estate should any discussion arise regarding the Royal Wedding, or would you ?,

(e)Have yourself declared, persona non grata, or your fake own suicide, to avoid the Royal Wedding ?.

I say 'good luck' to them but I really don't give a rats.

So long as it doesn't interfere with the footy, I will be fine. We have some dog taming to do.Go the broncos!

What wedding? Is someone getting married?

Are they gay?

You can do nothing about The Royal wedding but accept weddings are a standard plot device in public soap operas...

I've been waiting years for Robert Daws' Dr Gordon Ormerod to marry Wendy Craig's character of Matron.

Thinker 2

My response was to watch the Chaser Team on ABC2 - now that has been vetoed. Australia REALLY needs to become a republic!

I have some excellent books to read, such as the latest Tim Winton.

I agree : watch alternative TV programs or read a book . Pretend absolute lack of knowledge about any royal wedding , if asked about it by royalists , saying that you never watch TV , listen to the radio or read the papers . Tell royalists that you eagerly await hearing about problems in the marriage and the eventual divorce settlement , as no woman could marry this royal dill for any reason except to receive a divorce settlement .

At the risk of taking a triviality seriously, the OP has the wrong end of the stick entirely.

>>With great interest I note," that it is now official that it is in-appropriate ", too lampoon the Royal Wedding as the Chasers might.<<

You (and the Chasers) are completely free to lampoon the Wedding. What you (and the Chasers) are not authorised to do is use the official broadcast as your background.

It is a simple matter of license management. I will allow you a license to use my content, subject to some limitations. One of those limitations is that you do not hold that content up to ridicule.

Which, in any case, doesn't need the skills of the mighty Chaser team. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

the runer is the bleach bottle pm
has strapped on an explosives belt..

juliar..their doing body pat downs

but i suspect she has swallowed them ballon thingies

this marrage in a horse and carrage
oh how do they disparrage and whine

when its only a mar-rage

come on chasers
its time*

Why would you want to do anything at all, Thinker 2 ?

Because whatever you do, other then make yourself feel good, it
won't change a thing.

Fact is the whole Royals story is simple an official circus,
which is highly profitable for Britain. Think of just tourism,
they all go to see the Palace etc. Ten thousand journalists alone
at the wedding, all filming and talking about London, which attracts
even more tourists.

What you have out there are millions of people leading mundane and
boring lives, seeking entertainment. The Royal circus is one of
them, plenty of girls dream of being a princess. Then of course
we have Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen, the Beaver kid and all the
rest. All media circuses which entertain the masses and are a great
business for the media, which somehow needs to fill endless hours
of tv shows, every single day, with anything that puts bums on seats.

Then of course we have the football circus, another mass media
circus for another audience...

Its all entertainment for those who bother to tune in.

for runer

Dear Thinker 2,

I love Royal Weddings. I love the pomp, the ceremony, the archaic traditions. Therefore I shall be glued to my television watching along with billions of others and wishing this young couple every possible happiness in the world along with the hope that perhaps this time around things for them will be different from the sad history of Prince William's parents. Whether Prince William will ever be able to bring some positive changes to the British monarchy sometime in the future (along the lines of the Danes) who knows? But perhaps this wedding is a step in the right direction. The bride in this case is of his own choosing.

I was reading (didn't really take it in at the time) about how sexist the monarchy is and how if they have a girl she’ll be bypassed if a boy shows up somewhere and I lost where I was looking at it.

But I didn’t think it quite right because if it really was sexist then when a boy becomes of age then you’d think any ruling Queen would be made to step aside at that point.

As for the wedding... if OLO was going to send a collective telegram of congrats what would it say?

Pompous pretentious rubbish.
Century's ago the tribes best fighter became leader.
We progressed to King or Queen.
It is my hope they have a happy wedded life, but if they just did it in a registry office and had a beer later I would be impressed.
TV Radios off for how ever many days it takes to not hear about this self indulgent family.
Next time old Lizzy drops her purse on the floor, signal to move her boring next seated companion I would like to see her carries out the door roll on Republic.

Thinker, it must mean a lot to you, or you would not have started a thread on it. Could it be envy.

Personally I will try to ignore it, as I will all forms of football, although it may be difficult to avoid both.

As for the Chasers, there are many such people in the world. Nothing people, with nothing worth saying, who's only skill is to sling off at those who are something, or have the guts to try to be something. For them to sling off at those who's only claim to fame is their fathers heritage, is really struggling to have any meaning at all. It would be best if they went back to the other undergrads who have nothing on their mind, & need distraction.

Sorry hasbeen, but you just described, to me at least, your self.
Sharpe pointed but a truly held view.
You always put far more value on your own opinions than others.
Look again, understand ,great numbers of AUSTRALIANS,would ask what you point out as having a go means?
What great deeds has this family done?
Boring stuff mate

Good question, Jewely.

>>As for the wedding... if OLO was going to send a collective telegram of congrats what would it say?<<

"With deepest sympathy on the permanent loss of any freedom you may have once thought you had"

It's not a job I'd wish on anyone.

Lexi also makes an interesting observation.

>>Whether Prince William will ever be able to bring some positive changes to the British monarchy sometime in the future (along the lines of the Danes) who knows?<<

This is code for "turning the monarchy into commoners" which is the most efficient and effective way to make them completely irrelevant. What use will they be as tourist attractions once they lose that "royal" gloss? Tourists don't come to see the monarch cycling down The Mall. They come to see the gilded coaches and powdered flunkeys, the pretty soldiers in their bearskin hats, the pastel frocks and fancy tiaras.

Once they are completely irrelevant, of course, it will be the perfect opportunity for us to grow up and become a republic. Sadly, we'll make a monumental hash of that too, and end up with Bert Newton as president-for-life.

Belly do try to read my post, & get what I said before you comment in future.

Yes I said the chasers are nothing people, not worth the space they fill, but I also said something very similar about the royals.

How about;

FORGO LAVISH WEDDING STOP SEND AUSSIE 80 MILLION FOR PHARMACEUTICAL BENEFITS SCHEME STOP

Unless I turn the TV off for the next week I won't be able to avoid the wedding. Some scenes will be repeated time and time again.

If i want to watch the Swans play I'll have to stay up untill the 11.00pm start, but I would have to do that to watch Wimbelton tennis anyway.

At least it will be better that all the crap that went on over the death of Micheal Jackson. Much better than Blood and guts in the ME. Everyone loves a parade!

Great for the poms tourist industry, they make heaps out of it and gouge heaps out of the Yanks, good on em.

Anyone who watches the Chaser has a mental problem, so that won't be missed.

Other than that they both seem nice people and I wish them well.

It seems this post for the most part is taking option (c) Endeavour to render the RW, uncool or irrelevant, through balanced discussion.

Is their anybody else out there willing to fake their own suicide to avoid the RW ?.

Your attempt to induce a rise from me, gets an Epic Fail Hasbeen. And Pericles, clinical as usual,
you are of course correct, but it does take the edge of the laugh.

And Lexi, please don't let anything I might say, distract from any euphoria you might be experiencing re the RW.
I must admit I was attempting to celebrate my own arrogant disenchantment with the whole damn thing.

Ammonite, Banjo, Rehctub and I will remain as the representatives of the enigmatic position it seems at this point, with option (c) continuing perhaps,

And Jewely, I do concede your sensitivity, as to the imbalance that exists.

im disappointed the chasers
cant find a clever way arround the bbc broadcast

i was planning to boycot the whole darn weeding
would have watched the boys though

i cant see why they cant do their own weeding
there is apparently a walk through of the church on the web
and would enjoy hearing..what they have planned to say

*even if its read to a walk through of an empty church

or dubbed over dians weeding

or like they put those images into football fields
only with the queen etc blanked out

or via say the algezera broadcast
or simulcast on trippleZZZ...while watching the abc

come-on guys your not thinking

there are heaps of options
why waste all that research

[it must have been dynamite if the abc lawyers
ran straight to the system..just to shut you guys down]

dont give us so easy
quiters never win
and winners never quit

its on you tube
how about someone taking notes
and reporting it near live...[by relay]
or by using colages or photoes..or twitters

how hard can it be
they all follow a script
dont say you lot cant fake it

think back to when cricket was reported 'live'..on radio
all done via telegrams...and hitting a pencil on the desk

THINK
WHAT CAN YOU DO
we already know
what they told you you cant do

are you guys sure your even ozzie?

oye oye
get on with it boy..!ssss

In truth I have never watched the chasers.
Could not avoid the rat bag thing in Sydney, but thought it was dangerous and stupid.
However the RW is another thing.
So help me footy after my club meeting tonight.
And duck and weave ,any thing, to avoid the boring rich, air wasting, family.

It is interesting that the Obamas did not even get and invite to the Church ceremony.Apparently Obama refused to bow to the Queen some time ago and then soon after was filmed bowing to the King of Saudi Araba and kissing his hand.Obama is not well liked in Britsh Royal circles.

Let's face it.All Royals are self oppointed parasites.We don't need them.

If only all self appointed parasites were royals it would be easier to recognise them.

The telegram could be the standard jokey catch-all… "The weather is here, wishing you were beautiful."

Pericles I'm not surprised that tourists want to see, amongst other royal things, "the pretty soldiers in their bearskin hats, the pastel frocks and fancy tiaras" – such things are comedy gold for holiday snapshots.

Of course staunch republicans could always record the wedding then play it backwards just so it had a happy ending.

Funnily enough, even though I'm not watching much telly at the moment, I will be having a look at the wedding.
My nine year-old has an avid interest in history and dates relating to notable people and events...he's quite a full bottle on 20th century British royalty, which is something he's pursued of his own accord.
So the wedding is an opportunity for him to see a little sliver of "history".

Dear Thinker 2,

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for us becoming a Republic all we need is a gutsy PM to present an uncomplicated (one question only) Referendum to the Australian public. As they said on "Q and A" last night - it will happen - it's just a question of time.

The Royal Wedding is a separate issue, for me at least. To me it's
British history in the making - and just like Westminster Abbey,
St Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, The Crown Jewels, Changing of The Guard, et cetera - its a spectacle that one observes and enjoys and then moves on.

From the British perspective however - don't knock it. According to information published in recent magazines - " The royal wedding is expected to give the UK economy a $4.65 billion boost. Royal fans will shell out around $2.6 billion on souvenirs and food. UK sales of kids' princess dresses and tiaras have risen 60 per cent in the last month. From his official shop on the Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire Prince Charles is selling wedding jigsaw puzzles and Kate's parents are also selling memorabilia via their company "Party Pieces," (but they removed cupcake decorations featuring a corgi wearing a crown, after palace anger)."

The British economy needs all the help it can get. The Olympics are just around the corner. The Royal Wedding for them is just what's needed. The amount of tourists in London at the moment is quite staggering - and we shouldn't begrudge them the joy of this historic (and money making) event. As I wrote earlier - I'll be watching - all the pomp, ceremony, and archaic traditions are quite remarkable. But then I also enjoyed the films, "The King's Speech," and of course -
"The Queen." It's all sheer entertainment.

its funny how we can watch the same show
and come to so very differnt realities

to quote lexi
"Referendum to the Australian public.
As they said on "Q and A" last night
it will happen - it's just a question of time.""

oh lexi watch it again
i only half watched it
prefering bothers/sisters..

but even i heard

the complications
such as 'crown lands'
'crown law'

and other royal type protocols..rules and regulations
dear lexi..we are a colony of great briton

ruled by a govener general
[the army swears loyalty to the gg..not to govt not to the people]
so any minor amendment needs consider those 5 points alone

then there are the other colonies
[you might think of them as states and terror-tries
to wit tassie..vic sa nsw qld west aus ..not forgetting things like xmas island and the other colonial hangovers]

no im not clever enough tom know
how many got their own gov/general
but the fact remains most got one...[how many gg's we got?]

one federal..maybe 6 or 7 or 8 all told
each with their own authority documents
THAT EACH NEED THEIR OWN REFERENdumb

then there are the differnt levels of courts
quasi govt departments..things like pensions

[pensions are linked to us being a colony
a thing public servants and solgers get..not peons or the sick]

then there are other things
like privey councils..no formalisation of a pm...

[its endlessly more com,plicated
thats why its not been done
and never will be done]

not even by referndumb

anyhow its far more complicated
thus the reason for ol nick to sugest one simple ammendment
cause the truth is

australia isnt even ALLOWED
teqniclly to be in the un
its not a country

anyhow its a mess
but if we all swallow the spin
the true criminals who run things will keep doing what they do

we havnt even got to the fact
hrh..is only a figure head..

[any decree from her
would not have lawfull ..nor hold any legal weight]
but as i said its a mess

thats why i lobbied her at chogum[qld]
to re-claim her just powers and rule the commonWEALTH..for her people

not allow govts to lord it over us
for big taxes and the serving big business
to loot the peoples wealth..via two party tricks..[tic's]

its all poly-tic's
[the scum that floats to the top..of the muck bucket]

Arjay, do you think this may be a ploy by the British royals to become more popular?

Lest face it, anyone who did not like Obama would be in a very large & growing circle of friends.

I'm afraid mate, that the world must like parasites. Many countries elect sons, daughters, even husbands of past leaders in what appears to me, to be an attempt to generate a pseudo royal family.

On the other hand I'll take the Queen, or even Charles as head of state, in preference to the bottle blond we have right now. At least the Brits can claim they got their dill by heritage, we have to admit we choose ours.

*The royal wedding is expected to give the UK economy a $4.65 billion boost.*

Ah, there we go. People want theatre, let them enjoy it. 2 billion
seemingly will be watching, thats a huge audience and a huge boost
for British tourism in the longer term. Don't forget, we Aussies
paid Oprah around 3 million $, just to get on her tv programme
and be noticed. Without tourism, the British economy would frankly
be stuffed.

But I also think its important to be tolerant of others perspectives
and what gives them their thrills. Some watch the Royals, some
fuss over Britany Spears, some watch football. I'm interested
in none of those, but I have no problem with others enjoying them.

Perhaps you just lack tolerance, Thinker 2 :)

Yes, we'll become a republic eventually, but I think they will wait
until Lizzie 2 falls off the old perch first.

Dear OUG,

You should have watched the entire show. What Bob Carr said made a lot of sense - that we don't have to make that many changes at all - that's a myth - all we need is the minimalist model - with changes only to the role of the Head of State. And the conclusion of most of the panel was that a Republic will eventually happen. Anyway, as I stated earlier - I shall be watching the Royal Wedding (on my own as my husband refuses to join me). It will be stunning - and I shall enjoy it. I'll probably even shed a few tears as I always do at weddings. And they are a lovely couple.

OUG you took that ball of string and truly knotted it up.
We are the independent Nation of Australia.
We have ONE Governor General,that appalling lady in Canberra who son in law will one day be our prime Minister.
Each state, NOT TERRITORY has a governor, a time wasting figure head who mainly has the job of eating cucumber sandwich's in as may boring events as he/she can attend.
Bob Carr is one of the country's best ever state leaders.
If we had more like him we would be better for it.
Your country of birth still has a Royal family, almost certainly related closely to the inbreed English one, hope they get a good view.

wish it was that simple lexi
but at least you married a smart guy

anyhow bells
i recall there was a painter[forget his name]
but he held some official title in the nt
[he is more well known for 'playing a carton']
but its not a point worth debating over

thing is all gov generals..
get their warrent from her maj-gisty

[when i the army i was required to swear to serve her and her airs
and suck cessors..yes i know it could read hairs and excesses]

the fact remains that the armed services have sworn loyalty
to a foreign authority...meaning australia isnt a cuntry[thus cant be in the un]

the crown estates are still called crown land
and there are laws called crown law
i have been in courts that have hrh crest abouve the judge

so a simple ammendment wont cut it
but like i said if we all believe the same lie
those trying to proclaim the truth will be called liars
its called a demon autocratic susstem..[de-moc-racey][mob rule]

i couldnt care less..what its called
im born in these great south lands
but know its really the land of oz

a land with too many chiefs[master class]
and not enough indians[working slobs]

ruled over by a liar with dyed heirs
that says platitudes and declares nanny state rules

that have no lawfull constitutionality..
thus earn the decievers their place in hell
maybe its good the red head fraud dont believe in god
[or royal-ties]..but there she sits in a church..looking like a muton chop

reeking of condecending two faced putrilance..
mixed with stale beer..servicing..serving her boys club
[lacking a functioning mace...
club..of her own

we become that we love

...may god have mercy on her soul
she done picked the wrong thugs to love
you would think even a poor lawyer would know better

Well I aint watching it and I’m not putting money in someone elses pockets for no stupid trinkets either so so... so there.

And I hope the satellite falls down!

Jewely

Would you watch if, at the moment when the Minister (Priest?) asks the question,

"does anyone object to the union of this man and this woman?"

And Camilla leaps over the pews, streaks down the aisle and throws herself at Wills screaming, it should've been me!

Oh, I wish they hadn't canned Chaser. Bloody bastards.

*And Camilla leaps over the pews, streaks down the aisle and throws herself at Wills screaming, it should've been me!*

Sheesh, then I'd even watch it :)

I'm glad someone picked up on it WmTrevor.

>>Pericles I'm not surprised that tourists want to see, amongst other royal things, "the pretty soldiers in their bearskin hats, the pastel frocks and fancy tiaras"<<

I did chuckle when I wrote it. But I guess not many people here know the reputation of the Coldstream Guards and Wellington Barracks...

On a more serious note, I wonder how many here noticed Bagehot in last week's Economist?

http://www.economist.com/node/18584926

We are going to have to move quickly. Otherwise we'll be left with a Queen of Australia that isn't Head of State in her own country.

Daft, I know. But I wouldn't put it past us.

OUG the painter was pro Hart he was an ex miner who painted in a style that other painters condemned,.
He never was a governor NT has never had one.
Governors General are the head toff state governors eat a lower grade of cucumber Sanger's.
Me too if the rather ugly old girl short sighted Charlie picked over Diana did that it would be good to see.
Beggars! have put the NRL ON AN HOUR LATE!
RW ? take the dogs for a run they run I wobble.

Hasbeen,"Do you think this is a ploy to make the Royals popular?" I don't think they have a choice.It so stage managed with all the Hollywood glitz.They now let commoners marry into the Royal bloodline realising that if they don't,there will be more and more nutters like Prince Charles.

To keep the tax payer forking out,they will have to become a media circus.They can afford to run their own circus.Let them eat cake.

Whadaya mean, Prince Charles is a nutter?
He happens to possess an intricate knowledge of the disconnection experienced by modern Western society.

Your average benumbed consumer would do well to possess a fraction of his wisdom.

If I may introduce the preposterous to this discussion.

Apparently Katherine Middleton has elected to delete the obey command from her vows.
But will accept being called Princess William because she is not of royal blood.

Does anybody really care about this. If I can be forgiven for being bitter and twisted for a moment, while I avoid the Royal Wedding by sitting here and dissing it.

In a late rumour I understand that Prince William has gotten cold feet and Katherine Middleton
is about to un-beknowingly, marry his stunt double as we speak ?.

This will enlighten you all on the connections of the Royals to the global oligarchs which gives them insider trading capacity to enrich themselves even more off the back of human misery.http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=24538

*If I can be forgiven for being bitter and twisted for a moment*

Ok Thinker 2, given your obstinance, I shall fill you in on the
most important details.

William has done ok for himself, chatting up Kate, given that
he doesen't really have much hair left, even at his young age.
Her sister is pretty cute too :)

Even the mother in law is in good shape.

Kate looked like a princess, unlike Anne, who looks more like one
of the GGs, so its going to improve the royal gene pool.

Women or more likely their husbands, pay real money for those
freaky hats. Amazing! The hat business was clearly booming, even
our Julia had to buy one.

The horses and carriages were amazing and its great that somebody
is preserving them in such perfect condition.

So all in all it was a good feelgood story, great theatre and
great for the British economy.

So why should I be upset?

Hi Yabby,

Your just the bloke I wanted to talk to -
How about those hats on all the women - and all the feathers. Now the funny thing is that last week I watched a show on humans and the planet, and they devoted some time to indigenous New Guineans and their penchant for beautiful feathers in the headdresses of the men - seems that the women have dominion over the feathers in the West.

I enjoyed the spectacle and the beautiful architecture in the cathedral (cathedral architecture does something for me). My son lasted quite well until about three quarters of the way through the service - but I kept insisting that I wanted to watch the horses parade back to the palace - I got my way in the end.

Jolly good show!

*New Guineans and their penchant for beautiful feathers in the headdresses of the men - seems that the women have dominion over the feathers in the West.*

I seem to recall that show and IIRC, the men wore the feathers to
impress the women. In our West, the women have now even taken
over the feathers it seems :)

Victoria Beckham had a hat that looked like a TV antenna and they
were judged the best dressed couple. Who claims that humans are
rational people?

Personally I did think that the horses and carriages were the stars
of the show

arjay..your spot on about inside trading

Just a chance they are first cousins.
Yabby lets light in by saying how good mum in law and sister look.
Not many of us have not heard about upper class British and the Royals hoping fences and getting found in the wrong bed.
I watched another movie, just as well acted and the plot was boring.
Wounder who held Fergy under lock and key.
Drab lot got invited ,you and I can hope that we get to bow down to her one day, in my case it will be walk away back turned.

cant beat a right royal misscarrage marrage
and the true intelligensa disparrage

eat drink and be merry
next years destraction will be harry
and the one ill will be will

Well I confess I had to watch the big entrance of Kate Middleton into the Abbey and to see the dress. I loved the dress, it was perfectly feminine with soft, flowing but simple classic lines - and thankfully it was not one of those fluffy puffy frothy type of frocks.

Then we watched a DVD because there was not much choice to be had on the TV, so I missed the balcony kiss, but there are more than enough photos today to make up for it.

Hubby and daughter did think I was letting the team down a bit. :(

OUG,

All cultures use pomp and celebration for the same reasons.
It's a pulling together of the people. It's ceremony, ritual, jubilation and plain old merry making.

Of course, in consumer societies it's also an opportunity for a lot of people to make a lot of money from souvenirs and media spin.

The perennial analyst in me couldn't help comparing the "hat" situation between the plebs on the streets and ones in the cathedral. Those in the cathedral would have been designed mainly by British milliners...but I'm supposing that the plastic Union Jack-bedecked ones lining the avenues were probably made in China - as was most of the other plastic frippery.

I was also intrigued to see a procession of mini-vans transporting the royal overflow from the palace to the cathedral.

Interesting....

Pelican

I have to confess I got hooked into watching until the exchanging of vows - I was watching the 7PM Project as I knew they would add some levity to the proceedings and then I got caught up in the spectacle. Yes, Kate looked stunning, her dress was perfect, Wills looked striking and like a man in love.

I missed the balcony kiss, the carriages and all that, because I felt I had betrayed my republic beliefs enough already.

I wish Will and Kate the very best for the future same as I would for any couple.

Then I got stuck into my Peter Straub novel - wanted something a bit lowbrow than literary.

in forgetting what day it was
i caught up with the right royal destraction

yes cathrine[not kate]..looked devine
ok pretty annorexic looking..but all brides look thin
william looked annimic[pale and sickly]..so he might well be ill
[sorry kate...opps cathy]

i would recomend prospective grooms catch a bit of sun in the week before getting married[dont like the spray on tan..except where the bride is wearing a low cut bosum/bod-ice?

i liked the suggestion of nipple's
sewn into the brides attire..and the modest length of the brides train

the white brides maids[hostess attendants]
..was a revolutionary touch..and the serving of pate'
in lue of a hundred dollar..a plate meal..also is a trend worth addopting

i didnt like the murded maples
[why if her coat of arms is three acorns
would she seek the murder...of innocent maple trees]

far better would have been some sprouting oak trees..!

that could have been planted in a wedding memorial garden[for-rest]
of extreem spiritual strength and memorium..of what is presumed to be an important day

i will say i saw the hint of a baby lump

but that might be related to the puffy nipple design[of her dress]
[it is hoped pregnant brides dont starve them selves..as its bad for the kid]

anyhow the sydney morning herald has some great takes on the whole monarchy thing[worthy of a new topic]..but as for the nuptuals..

been there
seen the replays
no doudt will see many more over the next few days

so now lets get back to the other news
like how the 'cloud' has lost vast ammounts of peoples data
or the state of govt debt..or the flotilla on its way to gaza...

or that topic about the cost of refugees being put up in 5 star digs..and the other what was the other one

what was that..really important news
oh well i guess that... will survive..till tomorrow

Catherine goes to the Queen asks how may she please her.The Queen replies that there are two simple rules.

Queen,"Rule number one is that you must never cross me or bring shame upon the Royal Family.
Catherine,"What's the second rule?"
Queen,"Rule number two is that if you do break rule No.1,you must always wear a seat belt."

recall
the warning some funny stuff would be done
under media/cover of the royal weeding/age]

how about this 'gem'?

http://www.immi.gov.au/media/publications/research/_pdf/settlement-outcomes-new-arrivals.pdf

[released sneakilly
while the presscorpse
was obessing about 'the right/royal''weeding.....destractions]

actuually that search title
turns up some great info
http://www.google.com/search?q=settlement+outcomes+of+new+arrivals+pdf

anyhow enjoy
[and give me feedback on my plan]
imprison them on their own homelands
but under our protection[as our refugies]
bringing them 'home'

so dictraiters know running away
wont avoid full truth being revealed

govt then engages with the peoples govts
[think of the boon just to intell..!
current govt intel is poor

I watched the Royal Wedding with great enthusiasm and I wasn't disappointed. From the wedding dress to the wedding party, to the vows, the guests, the fashions, the pomp and ceremony - it was all just simply grand, moving, and thoroughly enjoyable. And I have total faith in the couple lasting forever. They are suitably matched and in love. Now let's have a Referendum in this country for a Republic!

for those intrested
the weeding thread seems to have moved to here
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4442&page=0

the current tal;k is about obama
not going
while he was hoping for a quick takedown of a bin liner
while the media wasnt watching..

somehow that assasination topic has become the wedding topic

so dont say you dont know
ps there is quitre a list of stuff quietly sli[pped into the public
while tyhe public watchdog[media]..was fawning over a right royal destraction

anyhow cheers...eh

what ya rekon the messiah comes from kates loins?

Dear OUG,

Question: The Messiah comes from Kate's loins?

Answer: Not yet.

Ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, there's been a misunderstanding between the sexes about gifts.

Dear Johan

Thank you for your email regarding the cancellation of the Chaser's Royal Wedding Commentary. Like you, the ABC was disappointed that this program could not go ahead; we thought it would provide a great night's viewing for those who wanted an alternative commentary of the event.

Licensing arrangements and the restrictions placed on broadcasts are the prerogative of the rights holders, and in this case, regrettably, the program couldn't go ahead due to late enforced changes to those arrangements. From the ABC's perspective we could not risk compromising our ABC1 broadcast of the event and so had no choice but to cancel the ABC2 Chaser program.

The following links are to Media Watch's story outlining the chronology of events and to The Chaser's own Dominic Knight's take on proceedings. I hope you find both articles informative.

Thank you again for taking the time to write to the ABC.

Yours sincerely
