I feel sorry for the Americans, shit end of year for them really: they've ended up with Katie Hopkins and now the bloody Royals.

Will may well skip it for Wembley, if it does go ahead on FA Cup Final day.Comment

I concur with the Royals on this crucial decision:

SDR, I saw that headline earlier and was a bit baffled. Are those Trivago adverts shown in the UK or is this just a US/Oz thing? I'd never seen them or heard of them at all until today.Comment

Trivago ads are everywhere in the UK Fussbudget.Comment

You’re so lucky Fussbudget. Those bastards seem to follow me around.Comment

I've not experienced the posters so much, not being a London rat-racer but yes, TV all the time. So much so they even had one where she says something like "I know you've seen me a lot lately"Comment

Our Trivago ads, are some middle aged bearded wanker, who is trying to look either hard, cool or handsome. He definitely manages "fucking annoying".Comment

Like the young lady above he too, was defined as "hot" a couple years back. I suspect a stealth campaign at work on this company's behalf.Comment

Blimey, it's non-stop on the BBC today.Comment

This wedding has buggered up the chances of us getting a Cup final "It's a Knock-Out" hasn't it?Comment

My Twitter mute filters are doing a splendid job. Only two tweets on the subject have made it through this week.Comment

(To wittoner) I think that Stuart Hall has already put the kibosh on that possibility...Comment
-
The wedding related stories that I've seen on the news confirm that the peculiar mixture of spite and obsequiousness that characterises UK coverage of the royal family is as weird and repulsive as ever.Comment
-
I don't know how bad it is in the UK, but it's almost overwhelming in the US. I'm working hard to avoid it, but it actually takes work.Comment
-
I haven't found it particularly hard to avoid, but I don't watch TV news and I'm not on social media.Comment

Likewise Australia, where vast numbers seem to lap up the scuttlebutt.Originally posted by San Bernardhinault View PostComment

What you all want to do is move somewhere that doesn't have any connection with the British Empire.
Well okay. Somewhere whose actually quite numerous connections with the British Empire were much easier to cut than most other places', and which (whatever else you might say about its politics over the last century or so) has done an incredibly enthusiastic job of cutting those ties.
People here are aware it's happening, and at least one of the Latin America-wide cable channels which specialises in celebrity gossip is of course having a full-day special on Saturday (although oddly they don't appear to have any rights to actually show the wedding or anything connected with it, which to my mind makes the fact they're going so huge on it even sadder), but absolutely no one cares. The most annoying thing is that a fair few Argentines think they'll be able to have a joke with me by asking gently, 'So, are you going to be watching the wedding on Saturday?' and get somewhat shocked by the vehemence of my reaction.Comment

The only thing I have seen have been headlines on the Guardian app earlier this week which appeared to every day be about whether her dad would be coming. A bit like a football transfer rumour "He's coming" "He's not coming" "He is" "He isn't". Having not clicked on any of the links I have no idea what that was all about or indeed whether at the end of that frenzy he decided to come.
The other reminder that it was on came from a Facebook group I'm in of Brits in Romania. Someone asked if anyone knew if anywhere in Bucharest would be showing it. I'm delighted to say that it didn't get a single answer of any sort. (Though I confess to being intrigued by the idea of going down the pub to watch it and getting really into it. Chanting "You're not singing any more" at the choir when they stop and all that)Comment
