    NO You are on you own. It will be like watching X factor with running commentary from us in AH. join in the fun you might enjoy it.

    unless some of them fall off a horse and carriage and mutilate themselves I won't find it interesting at all just like I wouldn't find a running commentary of X Factor to be interesting in any way shape or form...

    Unless you are an expat from the uk then you would have to have a pretty sad and empty life to want to watch this. It would be like a yearly dose of z-list 'hello' magazine reality tv ****e rolled into one. The obligatory gushing commentary could be funny for unintended comic effect I suppose.

    All this talk of the royals has made me nostalgic. How long to the next Jubilee.

    That's fair enough but a lot of people will watch it and find it interesting.

    I don't think RTE should be covering items that are irrelavant to this country.

    I suppose you would support them getting rid of the Premiership then? Or the soaps. Or any news story that isn't set in Ireland? Or the majority of films they show? Or any non-Irish documentries?

    Ah but that's all different isn't it :rolleyes:

    As for people saying they enjoy the pomp & ceremony. What a load of rubbish. I just cannot take serious the intellect of people who support a system that promotes the idea that you have a royal family and people outside that are "commoners". That you must refer to them as 'Your Highness', bowing & curtseying. Having the whole system hereditary. Giving out titlies like knighthoods, dukedoms etc.

    It is the height of arrogance to assume you know what some-one is thinking better than they know themselves. It also arrogant to suggest a person's viewing preferences say something about their itelligence, or lack of it.

    I hold a Masters Degree yet I will be tuning in Friday because enjoy the pomp and ceremony and would like to be able to look back in years to come and say I saw them get married, in the same way my parents generation can say the witness Charles and Diana wed.

    In fairness they are as close to the type of tosh Simon Cowell manufactured as you'll get.

    The most conformist band ever. They did everything their svengali told them to do.

    'Be Outrageous!!' 'Ok'.

    A ridiculous band. The Spice Girls of punk.

    Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided that they do not want the traditional fruit cake at the wedding.

    Prince Phillip has commented that he doesn't give a flying fook, he is still going to attend the wedding!

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    Simon Cowell, Paul Morley and Malcom McClaren = gods

    Musicians can't be trusted to think for themselves: boring, pious cunts with instruments and their interminably rehashed tropes of rebellion and non-conformity.

    And if you are someone who gets so worked up over what is esentially a television programme that others want to watch, simply because you don't, you are a truly (not truely) unhinged and somewhat insecure individual.

    Listen what ever the past I have nothing agaisnt the British most people are sorry for what went on the the extremes of sectarianism and colonialism and the average british person now adays wants nothig to do with it. So I wish them the best on their wedding day, It wouldnt interest me but I certainly harbour them no ill will.

    Lot of hating in this thread :(

    I'll be at work but will probably watch the highlights (news/web etc)

    I watched Diana and Charles get married..

    I watched Fergie and Andrews wedding (not all cos it was boring)

    I think people watch it just for the glitz and glamour, and also it's not often we get to see a real live prince get married..

    If you are not into it - don't watch it - simple!

    :)

    I dont know what I love more in this thread:

    The unhinged people who think they speak for an entire nation

    The poor Charlie Brooker style rants

    Nationalism in 2011

    Add outrage over "it is on every channel" in this day and age of multi channel digital TV, Sky Anytime, the internet etc. That's before you get off your fat hole.

    I don't get all the fuss over here about the royal wedding.

    Women everywhere seem to be fawning over the thoughts of it.

    Also did anyone see that Amy Huberman is going on her own now that Brian O'Driscoll has a game. The phrase spare tool in the toolbox could have been made for her.

    Be hilarious if they told her that her services were no longer required seeing as Brian turned down the invite.

    Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, It's with O'Leary in the grave.

    There's something about Wolfe Tone in it as well which is spookily prescient but I can't remember it.

    It happens in Episode 6 of the first series. Denise spends most of the day crying. Cheryl and Twiggy cop off and the episode stays true to the setup in that you never get to see Dave and Denise get married. Class work from Cash, Aherne and Henry Normal.
