hamster Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Anyone know of any around Southampton? I'm an anti-monarchist but really like public holidays and any event that brings people together in general. I won't raise a glass to the couple as I don't even know them but will deffo quaff a few ales and sing a few songs with a wry smile on my face anyway. I know there's a massive event in Guildhall square but fancy a pub event.
View From The Top Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I know not of a single event where I live. No one at work has mentioned the wedding beyond the bonus of having an extra long weekend.
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I think my auntie is having a party, but its just a small family affair, and I am not going. She lives in Poole.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I think my auntie is having a party, but its just a small family affair, and I am not going. She lives in Poole. Well our village is and there will be lots of drink taken and singfing and dancing. The community will come together in a way that only thge British can. I am sorry that some of you are not part of a community anymore.
Spudders Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I think the media are trying to big this event up in the hope that people get into it. Personally I couldn't give a rats arse about the wedding, however I am happy to accept the day off work!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 My auntie is a pagan. What sort of food does she eat then?

I'm glad to be part of a community who doesn't show deference to the monarchy. Our celebration will be, as it is every year, held on April 23rd.
mickn Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'm glad to be part of a community who doesn't show deference to the monarchy. Our celebration will be, as it is every year, held on April 23rd. What do you celebrate every year on April 23rd then?
badgerx16 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 What do you celebrate every year on April 23rd then? Shakespeare's birthday ?
sambosa75 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 My mate owns a catering company and has agreed to do a job at some massive house is Roehampton and I said I'd give him a hand for £100 cash. It is no doubt going to be spent pandering to the whims of a bunch of royal loving, hoity-toity, what-ho idiots but I fully intend on getting ******ed up and eating just as many of the organic lamb burgers with garlic and rosemary focaccias as I plan on serving.
hamster Posted 21 April, 2011 Author Posted 21 April, 2011 I wasn't asking peoples opinions just wanted annuities to amparty. Who hasn't been to a party where theyve not even known the hosts, imho crashing is socially acceptable if you behave yourself, welcome the stranger I say

Thedelldays Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 quite a few parties here in plymouth...then again, this part of the world is very patriotic.
Jonnyboy Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 quite a few parties here in plymouth...then again, this part of the world is very patriotic. you mean alcoholic? ;-)
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 What sort of food does she eat then? What? What the hell do you care? And what business is it of yours?
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'm glad to be part of a community who doesn't show deference to the monarchy. Our celebration will be, as it is every year, held on April 23rd. What do you celebrate every year on April 23rd then? Eid probably. Bloody PC nonsense. Anyone who doesn't celebrate the big day should be asked to leave the country.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Is that in an Midsomer all-white kind of way? Sorry, does that not fit in with your rural village stereotype?

scotty Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I wonder whether old jug ears drained his nuts up mrs parker-bowles just before he married his english rose. Aaah, the romance....

bridge too far Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 http://www.republic.org.uk/What%20we%20do/Republic%20Campaigns/Royal%20wedding/index.php
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 http://www.republic.org.uk/What%20we%20do/Republic%20Campaigns/Royal%20wedding/index.php We've taken a 'traditional' royalist street party as our inspiration, but there will be one key difference - we'll be celebrating democracy and people-power rather than inherited privilege. Nothing wrong with living off an inheritance
revolution saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'm too busy mourning Marcus to even think about a street party. The very idea of celebrating the marriage of two people I don't know when I'm busy mourning someone else I don't know makes me sick.
dubai_phil Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 1976 Coombe Bisset had a Silver Jubilee party on the Village Cricket Field/Village Hall. It then moved down to a barn in Homington where the late Peter Gibbs used to live. He supplied (at least) two tankers of Gibbs Mews' finest Bishop's Tipple. I have no idea whatsoever if the event was a success. The only memory I have is a photo my Mum has of the "boyz" passed out cold in the corner of the barn at 10:30am the next day. Meanwhile we are going to have a Street Party (but in our back garden) (getting the permissions down here - ha!) We're not doing it because we are Royalists, hell 3/4 the people coming aren't even "Brits". We're having it because it is the chance for one afternoon on a Friday (our weekend) to have a Pythonesque afternoon of silliness. Cup Cakes in Union Jack holders, Bunting, Pims, Real Ale. Not to celebrate the Wedding per se, but simply to get us in the mood for Karaoke at Rock Bottom where we will all turn up and murder every love song ever written while wearing silly hats & Tee Shirts. Why? Because it will be different from a normal Friday

scotty Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 And here come the anti-British brigade. Clear off you commie b*stard. point of order mr chairman, you dont need to asterisk "bastard", its one of the few words that the swear filter doesnt pick up.

Another commie comes crawling out of the woodwork. A British gentleman doesn't write such crudities - he uses an asterisk to show some respect to fellow posters, but then I don't suppose you've heard of the word respect behind the iron curtain. Bugger off to wherever you came from.

You go ahead and guzzle your celery and gherkins, I will stick with my traditional fare of beetroot and vodka.

Deppo Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 Does anyone else struggle to understand what the hell hamster is talking about in pretty much all of his stupid posts?
dune Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I wish commentators on the television would stop calling our flag the Union Jack. It's the Union Flag ffs.

dubai_phil Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 Does anyone else struggle to understand what the hell hamster is talking about in pretty much all of his stupid posts? No, it's just you trying to understand them at 7am in the morning. They're easy to understand at 11pm after a bucket of bevvies. Oh and that list of countries - of course they are all having Street Parties. heck we're even having one down here. It's what our Embassies are for don't you know (organising Street Parties & getting beach ****ging Brits out of Jail) Oh and no, I ain't going, although I fancy The Last night of the Proms with the Royal Marines Band
