Someone got engaged?

Post by Spinynorman »

Apparently someone has got engaged today and the news has gone bonkers! Surely someone else must have got engaged yesterday as well but I didn't see anything on the news. :?

Good luck to the guy, although he was born into a privileged family (not a lot he could do about that) he does a lot good work and is well-liked by the public.

It's sure to put a smile on the faces of many and that's never a bad thing. For what it costs, it's sure to recoup the expenditure many times over as did Will's and Kate's wedding with an estimated cost of £15m but boosted the economy by 2 billion (according to The Guardian)

Hope they have a nice life together, genuinely. He seems a decent fella.

Now to watch the scheming b*stards in politics trying to bury something dodgy behind the news headlines.

To say nothing of creating the greatest constitutional crisis of the first half of the 20th century.

At least this time we have a popular coupling, just that it may be about to coincide with a Brexit created constitutional crisis.

2. Will it be a bank holiday

I doubt very much that the stag do will be given a bank holiday. Would make more sense anyway to have it the day after.

He’s only fifth in line to the Iron Throne :wink: (probably sixth by then...) so a bank holiday is a long shot unfortunately!

So if all those in line in front of him were to be involved in some sort of tragic accident that resulted in Harry being 1st in line we may get a bank holiday?

We'd get a lot more than a Bank Holiday - unfortunately everything may be shut in some sort of massive mourning thing

Won't be so bad. Stock up on beers, Quavers and Monster Munch and settle down for a few days of National Mourning

I should say this thread had become in poor taste.

But I won't because I'm too busy laughing!
