Avoiding the royal weddding like the plague. I don't know of any
street parties here, so that's a bonus. Hopefully not being smoked out
of our garden by next doors bonfire like last weekend.

Well, I don't begrudge a bit of a ceremonial knees up for those who like
that sort of thing - and the tourists who'll be coming to watch and spending
a few of their hard earned dollars here.

Good luck to 'em - hope she lasts longer than most of the others!

No TV, and I intend to stay well clear of the West End. Other than that
working. I thought two weeks of serial Bank Holidays would be a good
opportunity to catch up before I go away end May. But the past few days
were just too nice so I decided I was entitled to a least one bank holiday
this month. So the weather may win again

Well indeed. It's a free country and it allows people to do stupid things,
look how many people watch Eastenders for example.

I'll be in the pub after I have put the shed base down, unless it rains, and
then I will be in the pub all day.

I will be, nothing like a decent bit of pomp & circumcise. That's about all
we're good at.
If nowt else, picture quality should be good and the yanks will be lapping
it up.
You should all be ashamed, ashamed I say ;)

Does that happen with all IMG links, or just tinypic, or what? Who does

Panic over, my mistake.

stuart noble prefixed the IMG tags with a "" so that it looked like he
was quoting Tim Watts. I looked at Tim Watts' posting, didn't see the
tags, and assumed they had been deleted, which was not out of the
question. A quick grapple with Google Groups (spit) shows me that they
were never there in the first place.

I have booked an aeroplane and intend to take my kids flying. Far more
enjoyable than watching the wedding, although I understand SWMBO plans to.
