Now there is, bitches.
Okay, seriously, how many of us Americans are seriously going to get up at 4am to watch this bullshit? All I care about is the dress. I'll admit it, I want to see what Kate is gonna wear, but besides that, my English blue blood is cringing.
You know, I was really hoping it would come and go without anyone here noticing.

What wedding?
Who even gives the slightest resemblance of a fuck about any of this crap? Inbred richie boy with knobby knees marries twatty golddigger from the world's trailer park, spends zillions of pounds to put on a massive televised spectacle. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, millions of children are still starving and dying from easily preventable diseases.

William's a bore. At least Harry TRIES to hold with English tradition, by trying to get killed in stupid ways.
Well if we weren't invited, perhaps we should send a lovely gift to the prettiest one there :lulz:
Was planning on mocking up a massive Daily Mail with the front page "DOLE SPONGE 'LIZ' OWNS SOLID GOLD HAT" and taking it to a demonstration, but my wife has told me in no uncertain terms "No fucking protesting until my visa clears".

I would like to add that the above was a serious question.
I'll tell you more after I'm done comparing and contrasting Realpolitik to Machiavelli's writings.
...poop.
HAHAHAHA!
HA!
Guess who's working tonight and tomorrow night, pulling down bank holiday (time and a half extra) pay? Guess who is sleeping from 8am to 4pm tomorrow and so will miss the blanket, wall to wall coverage on UK channels? Fuck yeah. And then I'm going to find some idiot who attended a "street party" and mock them, until they commit suicide with their stupid Union Jack* bunting?
*Guess what? It's not called a Union Jack unless it's on a ship. It's a Union flag, per George III, bitches. Funny how I seem to be the only person in the country aware of this.
George III... wasn't he the, y'know, whacky one?

Besides, if it was porphyria, as many suspected, another incident of it would have likely arisen by now, because of said shallow genetic paddling pool. Plus they tested his hair and arsenic levels were off the chart.
It was that damn Blackadder.

In response to your question, Hoops, the costumes for Blackadder are actually from what I can see, more accurate than the Tudors ever wanted to be if they even tried, at least for the Elizabethan period. I haven't seen too much of it, but I was always pretty impressed.
The Borgias is already giving me a headache for their over-use of leather and modern satins.
Well, Blackadder was Ben Elton, right?
Quote from: Slyph on April 28, 2011, 10:25:33 PM

Yes, but he's a writer, I'm not sure of his experience with costuming.
I suspected as much, but am happy to hear it.
Yeah, typically anything British is going to blow anything American out of the water, no matter the budget. Americans want sexy, they don't want accurate.
Suu, in your professional opinion, how accurate Re the costumes in Game of Thrones?
It's fantasy, and Sean Bean just looks like Boromir anyway.
Why is there no thread on the fucking royal wedding?
1- because they don't (yet) allow cameras in the bedroom while it's actually consumated
2- because the only people here who actually give a fuck about it are the people who are getting a free day off to drink like motherfuckers (Payne is up till 1:45 am and drunk only because some super inbred mother fuck is getting married to an only slithly less inbred motherfuck tomorrow)
3- Because there are better dresses on show on Oscar night
4- Because no one gives a fuck about "Wills" or who will eventually become known as Queen Katherine "Kate" Hohen-Zollern
5- Because starting a thread over a goddamn dress, who some overexposed coutourier designed 4 years ago when Cain may have accidentally bumped into the spouse of wearer of said dress while said spouse was said to be receiving an education while Cain was actually, yanno, learning shit is fucking stupid.

Preceded by a four day weekend last week for other, easter-y, reasons.
YOU GUISE GET MAY DAY OFF?!?!?!?!
AMERICA = DO NOT ASK FOR HOLIDAYS OFF THOSE ARE OUR BUSIEST DAYS FUCK YUO AND YUOR FAMILY
What I love about Brit-land is that they not only get crazy days like MAY DAY off . . . they also have this little pool of days off to pull from called "mental health days". You can call in to work for no other reason than you don't wanna fuckin' GO.

Blackadder costumes (And some of the jokes) are exact hand made replicas (even down to the dyes used) from the Victoria & Albert Museum.
ugh, GF got up at 4 to watch the damn thing.
The only way I would have watched it is if it was similar to Khal Drogo and Daenery's wedding: everyone's getting hammered and feasting on horse meat, people fight to the death, and at the end of it all, the queen get's it from behind.
ALEXANDER FUCKING MCQUEEN.
Even in death the house rocks.

We're really ought to get Nov 5th off as a Bank Holiday. We've burnt effigies on fucking enormous fires, all over the country, and blown more shit up than the IRA, every year since 1606 to celebrate it, so c'mon, whoever's responsible for this shit, pull your finger out!
I think it's got a lot to do with being right around Samhain too.
(When we used to stuff fucking great Wickermen, full of Romans, Frenchmen, Gypsys, Pictsys, and anyone else who didn't look right, and burn them alive as a Sacrifice to our Dark, Ancient Gods)
Penny for the Guy?
V for . . . . . . very nearly blew up the fucking King, and Parliament, with Gonne Powder!
By 1620, it was be the biggest State Commemoration in the Land. The Government introduced it as an annual Public Holiday by passing the "Observence of 5th of November Act" in April 1607.
I know it's ostensibly to be in thanksgiving for the Plot's failure, but that's nonsense. It's more than that. It's the only night of the Year we're even allowed to build a fucking fire!
It's now become a reminder to the State, that we're really quite a Seditious and treacherous lot of bloodthirsty bastards on the quiet. The effort put into making the Guys should be enough to remind them, but the looks of concentrated anticipation when the flames reach the Guy, half expecting to hear the blood curdling screams of the sacrificial
MP, Victims, and resigned nostalgia when there are none forthcoming can be quite emotional. Rousing, even.
It's at this point that the English are at their most suggestible, and it wouldn't take much to get everyone to march to the Houses of Parliament, drag all the fucking Pirates and the Inbred Aristo Robber Barons out, and throw the lot of them onto a fucking great big fire, say, the size of, . . Buckingham Palace? That would be memorable evening.

Just have the ceremony and skip the legal paperwork filing.
Couldn't you just LARP it?
No. I don't want the namby pamby bullshit pagan crap that SCAdians call marriage.
If I end up having a period wedding, it will be, mark my words, something that was performed in the 1500s. My train will be the length of the fucking aisle, and it will be a full Catholic mass done in Ecclesiastical Latin. There will be chanters, there will be heralds, there will be the whole goddamn pomp and circumstance that was involved in a Late Renaissance wedding (That is, if they actually went to church and it wasn't just a contract that was signed.)
Oh right, contract, there will be a huge contract signed by both families stating the amount of my dowry and acquired lands, and the terms as such on the return of my dowry if my spouse should drop dead. That contract is to be blessed by the bishop, yes fucking bishop, that performs the service.
I mean really, if you're gonna do it, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, DO IT RIGHT.

I'll let him take this one. I wasn't there yet.
NO shit, there I was, but it was a series of accidents and missunderstandings.
1st: The roll out "aisle" carpet was blowing away in the wind. I dig into the volvo of many thigns and produce 3 large spikes and a hammer to nail the thing down. Just as I turn to get to work, the minister is standing there,a nd I realize I'm holding a "Make your own crucifixion" kit. AWKWARD
2nd: I'm shootign the shit with people, and they're complaining about the wind (It was damn windy). I reply that it's a beautiful day otherwise, and gesture expansively at the scenic expanse of water and cliff. Being around italians rubs off on me, and my "talk with hands" factor was WAY up.
Well, the expansive jesture hit the minister in the face. She was very cool about it, and turned the other cheek.
Also, not that I particularly care, but I saw a picture of the wedding on Yahoo news. Man, the Irish Guards have a really unappealing dress uniform.

That's not going far enough, we should elevate their status to independent planet then convince them they can't breathe our earthling atmosphere
Or at least take those stupid bridges down.
Case in point - is there a single human being, on the face of the planet who only speaks welsh? I don't mean "refuses to speak english when there are english or scottish people around" I mean actually incapable? Answer - no! Srsly. So why do all the fucking road signs have to have welsh subtitles on them? Answer - because of THE FUCKING WELSH, that's why!
England actually doesn't exist. Seriously.
There hasn't been an English Parliament since 1707. England does not exist as a political unit or recognized regional level administrative area, except for the purposes of EU elections, putting it on a par with, for example, Liege in Belgium. That Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales do exist, yet England officially does not, is a cause of constant anguish for Daily Mail and Telegraph readers. That there are more constituencies up for grabs in not-England than in the rest of the UK combined is frequently ignored, of course.

It's a state, not a country. Scotland at least was it's own country, but I don't think the Welsh were ever granted that much freedom.
Wales was a nation once, briefly.
But they couldn't handle nice things.

Ah the West Lothian Question :lulz:
It always amuses me to argue with such people that bigwigs in London, wherever they are from, have no right to tell Wessex people what they can and can't do. And if they start to agree, then argue it down to the county, district and town level (and beyond) until we reach a point where basically the only position one can take is that a person cannot force any other person to do anything, ever.
Arbitrary levels of local identification FTW.
In Florida, counties govern things like local sales tax and school districts.
In Rhode Island, they're just for show (granted we only have 5 of them). Which I guess they got from England.

Same here. We're right next door so I suppose it makes sense. Counties in Massachusetts are basically only good for court cases and weather advisories.
Yeah, same here. We have a Providence COUNTY Courthouse, and a Kent COUNTY Courthouse. And there's no such thing as South County, it's really Washington County, which has a fair named after it, but I don't think it has a courthouse. :?
Bumping this because Welsh.
Royal Wedding you say?

Now, normally, I would show this sort of thing out of being an Irish douche.
BUT.
This is a hilarious counterpoint to the standard "American station going off the air" back in the day when TV actually went off the air sort of thing.
