Royal Wedding: Will you be watching?

[Arch]

I'm celebrating by going to the homeland of the Royal Family - yup, I'm off to Germany...

Actually, if I was home, and it wasn't nice enough to tempt me out on a ride, I might watch bits of it, I like a bit of pomp and circumstance. And it can be quite fun watching the nobs chatting, and guessing what they're saying (I'm not much of a lip reader though.

Although, it's a bit less pompy and circumstancey in black and white. (I think my first sight of colour telly, BTW, was Anne and Mark Phillips.)

Birmingham City Council had received nine requests to hold street parties last I saw. In a city of over a million people it sums up the appetite for it nicely.

Wouldn't mind sampling the food but sitting all day would be bottom numbingly tedious.

I'm not interested in the Royal Family. I'm not interested in the weddings of strangers. I'm not interested in fashion. Oh, and I'm not a fan of gushing media hype either!

So, after lengthy consideration ... Er, no, I will not be watching the Royal Wedding!

Come on Colin, tell the truth, rumour has it you spent the whole weekend watching the free DVD in "The Daily Mail" on royal weddings, wearing a union jack top hat waving a little union jack flag on the remains of your broken crank spinning it around by the pedal. Word got round on SITD from someone who got lost in Hebden Bridge and saw what you was up to.

Myself, as I posted in another post i'll be:-

Doing a bit of in the , followed by ,then down to my local for with the rest of the cycling club , then stagger home for a bit of if I'm lucky, if not and I'm late then I may get

Let me tell you what I was doing that day ...

I was actually sitting at home anxiously waiting for news of my fellow CycleChatters' return. Eventually, I received a text from potsy inviting me to join him and the other lads for a slap-up post-ride nosh where we could discuss their day's adventure.

So, I wandered down to event HQ as fast as my cold-wobbled legs would take me only to discover that the buggers had eaten all the cake and were about to ride off without so much as a by-your-leave!

I was so disappointed that I felt compelled to go and buy some beer to drown my sorrows!

Once QE2 goes, I think I'll become a republican!

My brother was a fireman in the Queen's Flight and was with members of the Royal family on many occasions.

On one such occasion, Di and the two young princes were waiting for the return of Charlie boy.

To amuse the princes, my brother and his mate let them play with their Land Rover and push all the buttons/sirens etc. There was one that they weren't allowed to touch, and was told so by my brother, only to hear the reply 'I'm going to be king of England one day, I can do what I want!'

I've never liked the peanut after hearing that!

My nephew told me numerous times last week that when he grows up, he's going to be "the expert and the boss". I'm not holding it against him.

Just remembered, there is something to do that day:

A lie in, breakfast, long slow (ish) ride, stop for ice cream somewhere, stop for a bit of grub somewhere else, go home, scrub up, and meet my chums in the pub.

I'll no doubt see enough of the wedding by simply watching the news later on.

Your right, greedy buggers, they must have even demolished everything I could not eat too, if I'd have known, I could have had it plated up for you.

Perhaps we should have a new "CC" jersey specially designed for the cake munchers , a big locust on it.
