I'm going to start looking at my options. The company/management structure no longer make it a place I want to work and it's been this way long enough to know it's not changing any time soon. I have good coworkers, benefits, and pay- which will be a challenge to replicate. But the markets good right now. I might even take a month off. Who knows, gotta talk it over with the wife.

Nothing quite like walking out the front door at 11:30 to see a total of probably six+ police cruisers, a fire truck, and an ambulance, all tending to someone about sixty feet down the road. Or having to five point turn out of my own driveway to clear them all.

If my gf tried to force me to watch upper class twits being married, she wouldnt be my gf any more.

Luckily the current gf has the same kind of distaste of this BS.

Let me put this way - for the last three months there has been such overwhelming coverage in such a way that cant be escaped except if you chose to be a island hermit that it has truly worn out it's welcome a long time ago and a godawful load of people have had a gutful as a result. A lot less would be getting wound up if it was more passing in mention, but the sheer overwhelming excruciating soap opera that is shoved in everyone's faces is just pissing people off. In the short or long run it's an event that bares exactly zero revalence to anything important in the world so why should anyone be hammered by this BS day in and day out?

I'm a republican - as in gently caress royality, not the rear end in a top hat GOP kind - so I deliberatly go out of my way to avoid royality related garbage and avoid commenting mostly but wow it's just ..... gently caress this nonsense could there be some escape please????

(eg - went to the movies, theres a goddamn display outside in the food court blaring the LATEST UPDATES!!!! I gently caress off from there to the shops and for fucks sake it's there too. I go home and shut myself in the garage.... anndd.... yep I cant escape it there either, dickheads next door got it on. *sigh* Honestly, just dial it back so it can be easily escaped, that's really not too much to ask for, without needing to go up the coast in the middle of nowhere?)

Edit - also not like I've gone on and on about it. I've said gently caress the royals once on Facebook and the above and that's all I'm going to say. I think in the main ignoring as best as possible is the adult thing but goddamn it's really weaing thin how ridulous the wall to wall coverage has been

I didn't mean you specifically, just people in the general bipedal meatbag sense. I have seen more mentions of the wedding from people being annoyed about it than I have from anywhere else, and I'm both British and not in the least bit opposed to it.

I prefer your other elaboration of "Republican," which made me honest-to-God laugh.

I've been lucky on the royal wedding front. I've heard about it obviously, but there's nowhere I go online or in person, or folks I hang out with, who gush about it. If I were bombarded with it I'd probably be pretty salty hearing about it constantly instead of the dozens of Actually Important things going on in the news on any given day.

What's funny is that during the last big royal event -- probably one of them dropping a mewling crotch-bomb whose net worth at the instantaneous moment of birth eclipsed any amount of money I will see in my entire lifetime -- a friend of mine posted angrily on Facebook about how he was tired of it being a big event, sick of hearing about it, etc. I responded simply that it wasn't too intrusive for me for the reasons I noted above, and he launched into me for somehow insinuating that I was above all this petty bickering. No amount of "No man, I've just been lucky not to have to hear about it" could get him to back down, so I had to take a break from his IMAX-sized projection for a while.
