FnF on hold for Royal Wedding

[Danish]

This is going to be even worse than the princess di funeral...


Willow, if you are serious about your push for a republic may I suggest pushing for a referendum to be held the day after this monstrosity takes over our televisions

 

[chefman21]

Does your husband post on here?

Which bit upset you? Some of us are comfortable with our sexuality. Others aren't...

 

[skeepe]

Football was always going to take a backseat to this and so it should. Besides, it will be nice to see a culturally significant event on the television. If you want to watch football when it's on then go to the game. Or if you can't get to a game then go out to dinner with your family, go to the theatre, a concert or something. Pretty easy huh?

It's not a culturally significant event.

It's some rich, ugly wanker marrying a rich, ugly wanker

Nobody cares. Football is far more important to our day to day lives.

 

[Bumble]

But I thought the anti-siphoning list was here to protect our interests?

Save our Sport indeed..

Hopefully they just move the footy to Thursday night instead.

This would make far more sense...I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Every woman in Australia is going to watch it so I can't blame Nine for showing it. They are an amazing couple though, and so suited to each other *swoons*

How is watching a couple of pommy tossers getting married more important or relevant to Aussies than a game of NRL?

Muppet.

Haha. There's one in every crowd.

Buying any of the royal china cookie?

Well taking the footy away is a great advertisement for the Republic.

The pro-monarchists will be laying low. Except for the cook of course.

Nah, have both the games on beforehand - Footy show after - Would be a good night.

Do we still report to the Royal Family? Are we still part of the Commonwealth? You would be surprised how much political influence the Royal Family still has on this country. The Royal Family influences ALL Australians in some way. From the PM reporting to the GG, to messages from the UK to all the treaties we have signed and much much more. The NRL only influences those who support it. Pretty simple really.:roll::crazy:

You might not like them, but they still hold some level of power over our country and it's citizens. The fact that the Queen's face is plastered all over our currency is a daily reminder. The Royal Wedding matters, and until we are a republic it will always matter. If or when we become a republic any Royal Wedding will still be a culturally significant event, and will likely take priority over the NRL at least until our history is still forgotten.

Who ever said I was a monarchist?

Possibly crack out the 2010 GF DVD. Again.

My missus cannot think of anything worse than sitting through this sh*t.

Play the footy on Friday night ya f**kheads. Put it on Go or Gem or whatever you call your sh*t and let me ignore this rich kids wedding.

the royal family is no longer relevant in today's society.. whilst the government have a reporting line thru GG to the RF, in reality it's a token figurehead...

if the queen decided tomorrow that all the commonwealth nations had to increase taxes by 2% to go straight to the RF, i highly doubt that it would be implemented anywhere.. even in england..

as for the currency, yes, she is on one side of our coins (which are becoming less and less relevant) but lets not forget, on the other side we have seen things such as sheep, boy scouts and even kangaroos..

the notion of a "royal" family is outdated...

celebrities are the new royalty nowadays...
