Apparently there's some sort of wedding on. Some couple have managed to shut down London AND THE NATION.
Apparently everyone's having a massive street party to celebrate what a joyous occasion this all is, and to show their solidarity with the Royal Family.
Apparently there is nothing else worth talking about today, at least according to EVERY NEWS CHANNEL ON THE PLANET.
Apparently, the Royals have done themselves some good by marrying into a family of commoners (at least I think that's how it works...).
And apparently, I've just fallen into its trap as well. I didn't even watch the fucking thing - I was too busy listening to Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla dissect Fast and Furious 5. I did watch the pre-game show where all the entertainment was likely to be had, but that proved to be a tad disappointing - simply a load of people chatting shit about a load of other people.
I must admit though, I have been mildly shocked by the numbers of people in Hyde Park. I just didn't think that many people cared. I'm not anti-monarchy as such, but I'm not really pro-Monarchy either. I just don't care, and that's the impression I got from most people I've barely talked to about this. Well, I guess some people care. As for the street parties... well, we Brits don't need much of an excuse to start a piss-up. The BBC had footage from a street party at what looked like Notting Hill, and to be honest it looked less crowded than it does every year for the Carnival (and admittedly less boarded up).
Oh, and E! sent their cameras over, so it must've been big. I think Kate Middleton might prove to be right up their street.
Still, it's all over now. Peace at last.
