Preparing for the wedding coverage

Big Sarge · 04-28-2011, 11:57 PM

I've started getting ready for the wedding coverage. Is anyone else glued to the TV waiting for it to begin? I have my box of tissues and I even bought a new bottle of lube. Of course I'll be watching it on E for the best fashion coverage

We made scones and set the alarms.

I think I am going to try to watch it.

@ Sarge.

I would have watched the satirical comedy coverage by The Chaser (1) but those goddamn Windsors leaned on the BBC and got all non-oficial uses of the footage banned. So I'm boycotting the lot.

(1) The Chaser: Aussie comedians, the ones who "infiltrated" the Sydney APEC summit in a fake motorcade with a dude dressed up as Osama. Those ones.

Zen, did you watch this? Not quite the whole Chaser

but 1/5 of them has to be better than nothing. Personally, I think Andrew Hanson should have been asked to compose the soundtrack for the occasion.

AND what is with Chris Taylor doing Australian history mini-docos?

NPR is all over this non-story.

I'm prepared for The Wedding. I'm not going to turn on the TV or radio all day ...

Sundae · 04-29-2011, 02:14 AM

I'm up!

Mum is generally grumpy because people are coming. She only pretends to enjoy company.

Apparently it's my fault that the 'rents forgot ice when they went to Tesco at 06.30.
I wrote a little note on the pad in the kitchen last night to say DON'T HAVE A BIG BREAKFAST! This meant they forgot the shopping list (also on the pad) and therefore forgot the ice. Yeah, I'd like to see that excuse work the other way round...

So I'm off down the Spar to buy some.
If I leave it til 08.30 I can buy myself a drink to get through it all.

I only wanted to see Kate's dress - which I did, right now, on AOL.

The dress was perfect. She was perfect. Wm. was perfect.

Now I'll be watching Dexter for the rest of the weekend.

I had a moment of sentimental silliness the other day when I watched a vid of Diana and William, from him as a baby to now. Diana died when he was 15 I think. She died the same day my grandmother died.

That made me teary. As I said, elaborate weddings don't do much for me, so I'm going to be content seeing a photo or two. But, a toast of coffee to the couple. Cheers.

It was distinctly surreal getting the groceries to the sound of the Lord's prayer being intoned over the supermarket sound system ...

Maybe the Lord was trying to get your attention, you heathen!

I wasn't going to watch it at all, and my son had a change of heart and declared it "boring" when I mentioned we could turn it on to watch, but then when I was waiting for my wife to get back from her party so I could go to work, she called to say she was running a little late, and urged me to turn on the tv. So I did, and watched a couple minutes of the carriage ride after the ceremony. I have to admit, it was pretty cool. Who doesn't love a parade? I turned it off when the queen got out of her carriage and went inside the palace.
