*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.
