Don't bring Him into it..

He is everywhere, should've stuck the old cunt in the poll.

I still think you are barking up the wrong tree.... ?

From what I can tell you don't know what tree I am barking up.

Is that not blaming/persuing the Royal Family ?

No, that is not blaming the royal family for anything, it is saying there are better things to spend the money on.

aren't you being a little selfish hmm?

No.

shit happens man and we all got problems.. dont think the royals have anything to do with it surelly

Jesus fucking Christ.

Cherry picking only the negative values is hardly representative either.

Agreed, but on the balance of things I suggest the royal family are an obscene proposition.

Im sorry about your mum, my mum is too not well (wont go into lengthy facts) but I dont blame the Royal Family.

I don't, nowhere on this thread have I attributed my mum's osteoporosis to the Royal family.

For his/her sake, I hope not.

Exactly, I am not always* easy on the eye, but I make up for it with a foul temper and bad breath (which draws attention away from my unbearable personality).

As long as you are younger than me and like the smell of sick !

Well one of those is true, but this is the sort of badly considered gamble that ended with my shotgun marriage to my 7th wife Fatima.

How old are you ?

Are you propositioning me ?

Or maybe sick smells like Champagne ?

Yours certainly will in the morning.

I am going to get badly pissed up on 'street wine' (wine).

The values of Selflessness, duty, serving your country, charitable patronage, representing and championing your country, its people and its exports: are these not positive social influences?

No, the values are not positive social influences in the broader scheme of things, of course if you cherry pick those things that we can all agree are good then the picture looks great, but we need to see all this in the right context.

If we were to find ourselves in a post-armageddon type Hollywood scenario and we had to build society up from scratch, a hospital over there, a bit of plumbing, a school over here, a resolution dispute system of some kind (a police force, law courts etc) all the usual infrastructure of a functioning society - I often wonder at what stage we would decide to arbitrarily select one family (from a foreign country) to heap enormous wealth on, give them exclusive rights to and ownership of great swathes of land (at other people's expense) and all the other grotesquely extravagant cosseted overindulgences we grant the Windsor family.

I bet if I offered you a glass of Bubbly right now you wouldnt refuse !!!!

Champagne smells like sick.

and also,

why are Yanks so obsessed with the royals when they're simultaneously so proud of being a republic?

They haven't been a republic for decades as much as they would like to think they are.

it's not a just a question of economic value, it's a question of the values we want to encourage in our culture.

Yep.

Are you going to cite the PWC report as evidence for this? Are you factoring in the cost of an extra day's holiday.

No, just a casual uninformed observation, I have no clue about the actual figures, all I am saying is that it can't be looked at as simple one way expenditure, there are likely to be returns to, I'd guess (and only guess) that the increased tourism might well bring in a bit.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a shame that we do stuff like this, and the money could be much better spent, but in the grand scheme of things (the national debt) 30 or 60 million (or whatever it is) is a very very small drop in an enormous ocean.

Help! is a member of the moanarchy.

I'm liking your work.

: )

A dope show of this dimensions gets paid by itself I reckon, with all the royalty and shits the money are taken out from the pockets of the peasants, so no waste:)

Probably true, the extra tourism alone probably puts more into the economy than is taken out by staging the event.

For fuck's sake, stop fucking moaning.

Like I have already said don't work yourself up, I am just moaning, ignore the thread if it troubles you to the extent where you yourself have to moan about someone else's views.

Lol ! I forgot about that one. The white hands are the giveaway.

Perhaps I should apologise for not reading the OP, I was just adding a bit of fuel to the fire to provoke and didn't read the part about your mum. Sorry.

No need to apologise to me, like I said I am just moaning, ignore me.

^I think it's a cry for Help!

Don't play the race card with me, you know it will only back fire when I post those photos.

Brits love to moan don't they?

Generally yes, I think you are right, but bear in mind I am moaning about what I see as a toweringly arrogant display and a huge waste of money, money that could be used to lift my mum out of months of debilitating pain, whilst you are moaning about the correct number of threads on a particular subject on a cycling forum.

it's still a fucking royal waste nonetheless.

Apologies, I am just moaning to be honest, if you want to busy yourself with the correct functioning of the forum don't let me stop you, knock yourself out, I guess you can always contact a moderator and ask them to merge this thread with another or whatever you think should be done to scratch your itch.

this thread, waste of fucking cyberspace, it's not like there's need for another thread on the royal family?

No thread on the Royal wedding as far as I am aware ?

You should realize by now that money is spent on War and these ridiculous shenanigans instead of the crumbling infrastructure.

And my mum's crumbling vertebrae.
