Pffft, who would want to go to England?

Spoiler:

UKPAX will happen one day, don't fret.

Edcrab

If you're heading vaguely northernly, TBH, come give us a visit!


My local pub is having a sort of party thing but the landlord feels the need to tell everyone how ANTIMONARCHY he is and that this is merely a HOLIDAY and the exact event is of NO CONSEQUENCE.

I guess he's a republican publican

Ye gads, well if I do you guys will be the first to know.

As a person on the internet who you don't know, I would gladly marry you liiya

Also I guess you should know I'm already married

And you should probably be a bit of a lesbian, I have tits

So there's that

Lost Salient

Having a party here, for it.

Well, technically it's more of a picnic that happens to coincide.

But I don't even feel bad, because my lack of ability to remember Kate Middleton's first name lost us a point at trivia last week.

Whereabouts in England?

Fly into london

???

wake up in Le Mans on the 4th

I was gonna visit my cousin but it doesn't look like it's happening so it's all wide open.

I want to hit up plymouth, and yeah I want to go north as well. Not too worried about spending time in london

This is amusing, because my English friend can't stand the royal family, thinks they're a massive waste of time and money, and wishes them to be done away with.

It's the best offer I've had so far!

Maybe the weather will be nice and we can have ROYAL BARBEQUE.

It will be royal because I will wear a crown.

That Dave Fella

I've never been to England outside of your airports and a little bit of London.

I got curry there, it was a good trip.

L|ama

i could literally not care less about this and yet the news here will not shut the fuck up about it

so you mean he's like 80% of the commonwealth

The Black Hunter

The news has turned it into a god damn fairy tale bullshit soap opera


this should be run like a funeral, reverence, respectful recollection, tradition and then everyone just goes home

Wiet

I've spent four whole days in London. It was a fun trip, I learned that the train ride from the airport to London took longer than flying between countries, there are wonderful, fantastic sandwich shops and that some of my friends are psychopaths.

Fyndir

Liiya, maybe you would already be married if you had not given me false information regarding where I might creepily buy flowers from you.

So, you know, stop complaining.

Hunter

And to think I got married at a Justice of the Peace so my wife and I could have money for a place to live.

I should have had a royal wedding.

I love the title of this thread

Junpei

Thankfully, this is a day off, except that Thursday is my last day of work so I wouldn't be working this Friday anyway.

Of course, half the country will be shut down and it'll be difficult to move to Surrey this weekend because of it : (

So .. yay holiday for most people .. boo it affects my plans to be rich and famous and infamous and stuff.

lostwords

Lifetime movie network made a movie about their love story that premieres soon, complete with dopplegangers speaking in bad accents. I saw commercials for it. Why was I watching LMN? Because its awesome

EDIT heres the commercials:

my god

Junpei

Does it describe in detail what it was about 'the dress' that led to the royal wedding? >.>

Wiet

Youtube won't let me watch it.

Lostwords on a scale of 1-10 how bad are the accents?

Blake T

I'm going to watch it live.

Probably not really.

they sound kinda bad, but i have no ear for language

though the whole movie sounds dreadful

this uk critic sums it up best:

There are movies so bad that they transcend awfulness. Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space and Glen or Glenda? perhaps, or Troll 2. And then there is William and Kate: The Movie.

Coming to a DVD outlet near you shortly. So bad it's awful, toe-curlingly, teeth-furringly, pillow-bitingly ghastly. You begin to wonder what the happy young couple have done to deserve this. It will probably be a smash.

bra-vo

Junpei

Pillow-bitingly ghastly is a fantastic statement

Wiet

It really is.

I have an incredible soft spot for British accents, I want to see that trailer just to see how they measure up.

That Dave Fella

I like how diverse English accents can be, it's like Irish accents. Mostly incomprehensible.

Junpei

The drunker I am, the better I understand most Irish people. It's a rule that's worked out quite well for me so far.

Fandyien

so do huge swathes of the british working class actually love the royal family or what

Wiet

I once found a site where some group had an interactive map of all accents on the British Isles, complete with interviews and transcripts. It was really neat! My favourite was the 50 year old Scottish miner where you could understand like two words every sentence. It was one of the only interviews without a transcript and I assume it's because the interviewer didn't know what the hell the guy was saying either.

Junpei

I'm willing to say it's about 50/50, out of my current work place there are 16 people on my team, minus the 4 foreigners (myself included) around 7 are going to be watching the event religiously, the rest don't care/hate the royals.

That Dave Fella

The Queen is the Commander in Chief of the British Armed forces, they could overthrow the country but they don't because it'd probably upset the Queen.

Liiya

Urgh

If I have just seen the right trailer it is very American looking.

chrishallett83

I can understand royalists getting all frothy excited over this.

I can understand the media in Commonwealth countries going stupid for this, because the old ducks who actually watch the 6:00 news and buy the gossip mags that are running all these 'features' will eat it up and make them some serious bank.

What I don't understand is Faux News going stupid over this. Republican? Does anybody there remember what that word means?

That Dave Fella

Those Yanks, they just don't get it do they Liiya?

Fandyien

Seriously thought this wedding shit is in every. single. tabloid. here on the front pages

i am all hey didn't we rebel against this shit? YO

Wiet

We'll never win a rebellion against 24/7 tabloid media.

Fandyien

do you guys have tabloids in the frozen north

i just sort of assumed something something netherlands joke

Wiet

Hey, we're not in the frozen north! We're just as rainy and depressing as Britain thank you.

Fandyien

i know a dude from the netherlands

he is a public defender who likes to drink lots of beer and smoke light cigarettes

i love his accent and the way he hangs around the local pool being old.

Junpei

The only problem I have with the Dutch is their idea tat mayonaise goes with everything (Though it's worse in Belgium)
