Thema: Congratulations to the Royal Couple Fr 29 Apr - 9:35
Well someone had to bring it up today.....
But there is a lot of hardship (natural & manmade) in the world at the moment, so it's nice to see a happy couple "tying the knot"
Congrats to Prince William & (soon to be Princess) Catherine Middleton,
PS.... for the German guys, the German correspondent was briefly interviewed on the BBC earlier; I think he was called "Norbert Liemann" or something like it.

Congrats also from me, but if I may say this without getting hit:
I cannot really understand why the marriage of a prince is becoming such a hype, you can buy EVERYTHING with a picture of them, a cup, a t-shirt or a pin - simply everything. Ok, maybe they are a "dream couple" (though I'm not sure about this as well), but why is this such an event?
When our ex foreign minister married his husband, this has become public AFTER the whole thing was over
So, congrats from me, though I'm not a fan at all

Damn England filling up Danish TV all day!
They even made TV2 rename "Godmorgen Danmark (Good morning Denmark)" to "Godmorgen London (Good morning London)" LOL!

The marriage was nearly the only tv program in Germany this morning Everyone wanted to be the first, they even analyzed their make-up and why her ring didn't fit immediately on her finger I'm sorry but I still don't understand this hype. Whatever

Had it not been for the fact that our English teacher was absent (in London ), I suppose we'd do the same. Playing friday loudly on the speakers is a good alternative though

@rzr09: I do, but when a British royal couple gets married, why all Europe watches this ceremony all day long? That's what I don't understand It's OK for the British tv and the British people, but for the others?

I just entered the living room, and when I saw that nearly every channel was showing the marriage, I left the room after about 30 seconds Yes, it is Europe's choice, I didn't say that it's the British's "fault"... ah, doesn't matter now, it's over.

And Ireland doesn't give a dollar as to what happens over there. Thank God - at least one day free from them after 800 years of British in Ireland (independence since 1921)
OK, except for that live report from it in the bank in the city centre. But still.

Funny how Canada is a commonwealth country, and only about 5 channels show the wedding and everything else is normal. I guess its because for the third time, there is a federal election

Ha ha ...... you'll set him off mind....
Some Scottish people don't like to be assicoated with the rest of Britain ...... or more accurately, they're pretty much just "anti-English".

The word of authority....... from a Pole am I right ?
There's so little goes on in Ireland, I'm surprised they weren't desperate to see what was happening 'next door' ......
Oh and it was reported that a lot of people were tuning in form Northern Ireland....
Actually, I found the coverage overkill and boring too.........
....but I also hate nationistic, "we hate the english" bullshit too........ we're just people you know........all of us.
No-one is present day England invaded Ireland you know..... Christ, I wouldn't waste my time!
