Perhaps it's the fact that as a male that I have no particular interest in weddings generally or as an anti monarchist that the Royal Wedding is leaving me rather cold. Fair enough that some people are enjoying the occasion but does it really warrant the rolling 24 hour coverage dedicated to who is attending, what they are wearing and interviewing people who bumped into the couple five years ago. Is this how Richard Dimbleby conducted state occasions? It has almost reached the stage where if there was to be a natural disaster any time soon today would be a good day to get it out of the way if only to break the monotonous news coverage. A little dramatic perhaps so I shall settle for the fact that I am almost pleased to be about to go to work although no doubt everybody will still be blathering on about Wills & Kate when I get back: possibly somebody will be stationed at the bedroom door to announce when the official consummation of the marriage has taken place.
   Like most weddings the ceremony is generally quite boring and everyone is waiting for the I Do bit and the kiss before legging it to the reception to get a drink. Unfortunately, despite paying for it this is denied the public who will have to make to with the boring bit and will miss the dubious pleasure of Prince Harry's best man speech.
   As I am only winding myself up by adding my own fuel I will end with the thought that presumably on his stag do Prince William actually went to shoot some stags.
