I haven't watched it but I just read that Elton John was there.

Which reminds me of Keith Richards' famous quote about Elton and his "songs for dead blondes". Keith is currently destroying The Rolling Stones again (and this time probably forever) with his talk about Mick's penis size ("Marianne Faithfull had no fun with his tiny todger"). Not only Mick is mad at him, which is perfectly understandable, but also Elton John again for some reason, even though - or maybe because - no one talked about his penis. Where's David Bowie when you need him? I heard he slept with everyone in the 70s (including Mick) and I'd be interested in his expertise on the matter.

Why am I bringing up wrinkled British musicians in this thread about a wedding? Because I love those entertaning old divas and once they're gone England will realize that all that's left of the good old days are the Windsors and all those other aristocrats wth fancy hats.

Let alone the fact that our monarch isn't even an Aussie. I find it quite insulting to be honest.

Strange fact of the day.  Elton John and Rush Limbaugh are good friends.

Pippa, Kate's sister was hot... but WTF was wrong with the flower-girls??? I know the are children from Dukes and Duchess but yeah.. maybe they should branch out a bit and not f*ck in a closed circle where everyone is actually related to eachother..

Do they end up costing you any money or are they just useless... and what in the world is even the thought process behind keeping a foreign figurehead ruler?

I watched the ceremony, it was pretty good. I watched it 99% out of curiosity, I've never experienced something like a royal wedding in my lifetime. I think if I had watched Charles and Diana, I wouldn't have been so bothered about this one.

It was good because I got to see how it all happens, I became familiar with some of the traditions, etc... And in that respect I found it very interesting to watch, worthwhile in itself.

It works out to something like 60p a year for each tax paying citizen of the UK to keep the monarchy, or something like that anyway.

Thats like 40 million pounds each year?.. that nothing.. especially you get  500 million pounds back on tourism.. and with the Royal Wedding even more..

Well I meant Australia... I know about the costs and benefits UK wise... royal land holdings and all that.

I live about 30 mins from Westminister Abbey so I could have attended the wedding but didn't.

Tbh, I don't care too much.
