Will and Kate excitement

Excitement across the world?

[johnhh]

Is it just my wife or is everyone really excited by ( yet another ) Royal Wedding ?

And I am the only one who is not !

I even saw a BBC news broadcast where they were interviewing "excited" Americans - who I suppose have to stay up all night.

I understand they are turning the floodlights off on Buck Palace just as USA goes primetime in the evening on the East Coast - the joke was the American news crews would be broadcasting in the dark.

I am enjoying the day off, and its been a great event to watch on TV so far

I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it. We might get a normal King one day, once they figure out what to do with Charles. :)

No holiday here in the colonies, but we had an extra long weekend from Friday through Tuesday. Not too late for us to watch it in Melbourne.

14:14 here now and I have just spent the morning in the garden. Great!

Interesting piece on the parents of Kate and their internet business..here [thisismoney.co.uk]

Client lists are as valuable as ever..( especially rich client email lists )..the selling of clients names and addresses appears however ( even without the email addresses included in the lists ), to be in direct conflict, with what is said on the privacy page of their website, unless "make our customer lists available to" now means "sell to".

Note to self ..change to "partnership" status for UK operation.

@anallawalla if you think that Charles's sons are going to be better than him, I would look at them more carefully.

Prince William has already been found to be pushing his own views over public policy (privatisation of air-sea rescue - I agree with him but he should stay out of it).

Personally I think we need a drastic change of succession to avoid eventually becoming a republic.

Prince Harry is a lot worse. remember the racist comment on video for example?

@Stoutfiles, those estimates assume a linear relationship between hours worked and output, so they are almost certainly much too high.

Advantages over privacy, possible disbenefits over tax and unlimited liability for both partners.
