The royal wedding date gets the headlines in front of the Korean shebang, should have known better, than to expect any difference.

    President Obama was awoken at 3ish in the morning with the news.

    It's going to be on April 29th. :lol: Oh! and the North koreans are at it again if you're interested Mr president.

    The wedding of William and Kate is not really bad news. :lol:

    Good one, Frank.

    The upside is you can book 3 days annual leave* and take 11 days off work. Gotta love The Royals.

    Great spot Bronzie. Just stuck it in my diary for tomorrow..."sort out long holiday for Easter".

    What I hate is the media obsession with this nonsense. I really don't give a monkey's toss about the royals and neither does anyone else down my local, yet the media would have you believe something totally different. Blah, blah, blah to fill the 24 hours of "news".

    Will I miss anything? 8)
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    I'll be waiting for the leaked honeymoon video to start doing the rounds :lol:

    I'll be on holiday in Devon that week so might try to take my bike and make the most of quiet roads for the day whilst the wife and inlaws go all patriotic!

    Only for the tabloids.

    Solution; read a proper paper.

    The proper headlines today:

    Telegraph: "All over-45s should take a daily dose of aspirin to protect against heart disease and cancer"

    The Times: "Schools will have to meet tough new targets for raising exam standards or face being taken over" with a picture of Korea..

    The Guardian: "The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has warned of the break-up of worldwide Anglicanism" with a picture of Korea..

    As a side note; those headlines neatly show the idiosyncrasies of each paper.

    I find it quite amusing that they have chosen my birthday & aniversary to wed, so I'm going to pretend all the fuss is for ME!!!! All you cynics out there can send your gifts to me instead. Now where is that bike catalogue?

    I figured people normally refer to the lead story with the TV, and headline for the papers...

    the TV news has counted as tabloid for 20 years, as anybody at all sharp would have realised...

    Most of it, yeah, but Channel 4 news still actually broadcasts news. BBC 4 world news is decent. Although the best news programme on TV these days is probably the Daily Show on More4.

    Well far be it from the British press to report on news involving this country and our future king as opposed to a story that has rumbled on for the last 60 or more years in a far flung country virtually no one in Britain has been to or has any connection with

    I wish them well, not their fault, just keep the noise down.

    Dear Leader Kim Jong-il :" I'm so ronry, Im leaving this country to you dear third son and Brilliant Comrade."
    Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong-un:"Can I invade the south"
    Dear Leader Kim Jong-il :" Yes, but pick a good day for bad news"

    Maybe Rickchasey can mince over to S.Korea and bore them to death before they kick off properly at each other. :D

    +1 to that.

    And what do we have here... Rory Bremner. :(

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    So am I alone in thinking the Daily Show is sh1te, and John Stewart's "humour" is limited to reading the headlines in a sarcastic voice and then stating the bleeding obvious?

    No you're not alone... my brother in law dislikes John Stewart for being too 'shouty'.

    Then again, mt brother in law is a borderline alcoholic. :D

    You could watch football all day using myp2p - they also do most of the big bike races and some of the smaller ones as well as a whole platter of other sports. :D
