Wife: Wakey wakey my prince! Time to get up and watch the wedding! Aren't you just dying to see Kate's dress? Punk: At zero dark thirty I don't want to see anything!
Of course, Oliphant was born in the British Commonwealth (Adelaide, Australia) and has since become an American citizen, so I can imagine his feelings on this…
The last time I got up at 5:00 am to watch the “future king and queen of England” get married the couple ended up divorced and the bride ended up dead. I think I’ll sleep thru this one.
I cannot stand royal weddings
Nor even royal divorces
And queens and princes, to my mind
Are farces, all these forces
Most bitter-tasting type of tea
Is royalty (Nobility
Is slightly less regrettable
Although it’s quite inedible
They give a lad the belly-ache
With all their smug, “Let them eat cake!”)
Therefore I’ll be a cur and cad
And NOT say “Will, you lucky lad!”
Nor “Kate, you’re lovely in your finery
And welcome to the royal family”
In fact my very fervent wish
Is for the British to abolish
Their obsolescent monarchy
Toss it in the Thames or sea!
And on that happy day we’ll see
Them join the 18th century
pirate, even most of english canadians (a pretty small minority, though) are against keeping the monarchy as of 2010
IMHO, and I think this is what will happen if queen Elizabeth dies while the NDP or the Liberals are in power, there should be a Canada-wide referendum on the monarchy before Charles or William’s coronation.
from friday early morning till now, people are going crazy about 2 rich kids getting married. a millionaire’s daughter to a taypayer funded billionaire’s son.

Weddings happen every day. I don’t watch those either.

Don’t think all girls daydream about that! I don’t.
No offense Willy, but you’ll be England’s king, not Canada’s.

I have BBC programmed to start at 2am. I’ll catch up when I get up.

His likeness will still be on your currency, Froggie, and he’ll be your head of state one day.

With the way way the paparazzi go at it, I’m sure you’ll be watching Kate’s before long.
