Wedding Free Zone
 

It's nearly upon us, having checked a couple of pubs out, one, (Railway), say's it won't be televising the wedding if there is any decent football on and the other, (last orders), says that not just they, but all the pubs in Accrington have got to show the wedding. I find the latter statement to be hard to believe but have no proof one way or the other.

So, for those of us that really don't want to watch the procedures on that day, does anyone out there know of pubs that definitely won't be broadcasting the event?

Re: Wedding Free Zone

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

The wedding is at 11 o'clock in the morning. I've just checked the Sky Sports schedules, and there doesnt look to be any football on at that time on a Friday morning.

I'll be at a motorcycle rally in East Yorks, so a field in the middle of nowhere should do it for me!!!!!! :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

I'll find something to do in the garden or on the car - too early to start drinking anyway.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Slightly out of Accy but the Greyhound at Altham won't be showing it or even having it on the radio, Sam Smiths pub, they don't allow TV's or music, good ale too, try the stout at £2.09 a pint :thepint::thepint::thepint:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

:D:Dill be watching it :D havin a party ;):)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Now, now, Jaysay .. bet you won't be able to resist having a peek. After all, won't be able to moan about it if you don't watch it.. :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

However hard we try to avoid the Wedding, it is ineviatble that we will get a glimpse at some point as the newspapers and the media is bound to be full of the event for days after.
The only way you could possibly miss it is to be marooned on some desert island for a few weeks.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Well I will be....almost, taking some Oil Executives to one of the 'stan's next week, will just miss the wedding..Nice

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Can you accommodate a stowaway???
I am not anti Royal or a republican, but the media just do the whole thing to death.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Funny that, my better half asked. All I will say, the last time I was out that way, there was nothing, absolutely nothing around...for miles.

There's no escape :(

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

You can always go and work for Her Maj., in the gift shop up at Balmoral.

She's making her staff work the extra Bank Holiday.

So work for her, and miss the wedding, because you'll be polishing tins of shortbread.

:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

By the time I got there it would be time to come home......on second thoughts...I couldn't get there, the buses are running a Sunday Service.
And No G....I can't drive a bus.(well, I probably could, but not legally)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Bet ya a penny stick of spanish Kate, but I doubt even I won't be able to aviod the odd news flash:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

I'm sick of it already......the paper is full of who is invited and who isn't and why......the seating plan in the Abbey, the flower borders in front of the palace........OMG, we still have four more days of this mind numbing stuff........it is as the Americans so aptly observed, like the moon landing but with bridesmaids.......that quote isn't correct by the way...it is my own version of the proceedings.
Boeing Guy, that deserted place is sounding more attractive by the second.......I promise to be quiet and not take up much space. :)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Even Aljazeera and Russia Today news channels are wasting air time on this junk.

It drowns out and distracts the population from the real news (which isn't pleasant but what you really ought to know)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Add some American Cream Soda and it's a bet. Mind you, that gives you wind and you have enough of that already.... :s_fart::rofl38:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

where you going to get the penny stick of spanish jaysay ..... theyre now 20p ..... at least!!!!:D:D:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

it'll be interesting to see how many of the "Royal" wives from the Mid-east will be wearing burquas in the Abbey :eek: :eek:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

No problem here in the Great White North. In out time zone the wedding comes on at 3:00 am. Being in bed cutting the zees is what most of us will be doing.;)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

TV coverage starts 1 am (9 am UK time) here so think I'll be giving it a miss.
US TV coverage is going overboard, and coming up with some real tripe ,( coffee spluttered over the keyboard moments ) an item on this mornings 'news' from London featured a rather 'nice/sensitive' bow-tie wearing young man who was introduced as being a Jellymonger ..... and demonstrated how he gets the right amount of wobble in his jellies . :eek: :D :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

No doubt we have had similar here, I've been lucky enough to avoid such 'news', but that can't last.
:(

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

20p Jen, Kate's worth every penny, but she wouldn't win, I've enough NCIS backed up on Sky to keep me going all day and if I run out theres always Criminal Minds:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Wonder what Mrs Gaddafi will have on:rolleyes:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

There's always the NHL hockey playoffs:alright:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Well i for 1 am going to enjoy it....It makes a refreshing change from all the depressing news,,,cant wait for all the pomp and ceremony...:alright:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Na theres the World Snooker Championships on the BBC red Button Eric that'll do fur me mate:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Less.......I am sure I noted that there was a real ale festival on somewhere fairly local.......I read it and thought of you:)
Have a look at the LT's site......it will be under Wedding Free Zone.
The day could still turn out fair for you yet...if you play your cards right.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Thank's for that.


They have a wedding free zone as well?

(Must check the dates if I was first could be worth a fortune).
:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

There's local football being played on a Friday Margaret. Clitheroe are at home,and I know a few that's going down there. I would think they'll get a reasonable attendance.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Thanks Bernard.........I want a wedding free zone, that is also free of men kicking around some poor pigs bladder...OK a football then.
Surely it isn't too much to ask? Failing that, I will salt myself away with either wardrobe sorting or trying to improve my scores in the Arcade :)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

for some reason I get the feeling there would be more local interest in the event if the bride was called either Sandra or Tracy ;) :D :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Well I have mixed feelings about girls called Sandra and Tracy, I hate Sandra, I was married to one and love Tracy my youngest Daughter's called that:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

A bit of good news, the Last Orders WILL be a wedding free zone, they have announced it on facebook.

By the way, for those of you that think 11 o'clock is too early to go for a drink, may I point out that no doubt, ignoring the tat we have now on so called news programmes, it will be starting about 6.00 a.m. with previews, then there will be the event, THEN they will have what they call, the best bits, so unless you find a seat early in a wedding free zone, you won't find enough to do to your car/garden to fill the hours of tedium we are all going to be blessed with.:D

P.S. good luck to the couple may your day go better than what the media will force on the rest of us.
:)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Amen to that;)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Less, you haven't mentioned the reruns for those that were unfortunate(?????) to be working through the event....and the days after....no news in any of the papers, just an album of pictures that will shove any real news into the background.

Yes, I wish the couple every happiness and a long and healthy life together.
I just don't want to be watching it all.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Funnily enough I've ordered up a copy of each of those pull outs, I'm looking forward to when Antiques Road Show comes to accy Market hall, then I can have my 15 minutes of fame showing them off and finding what a wise investor I have been.
:rolleyes:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

I am trying to work out my schedule for the day.

6 a.m. Rise from my bed.
6.05 a.m. two fags and two coffees.
6.20 a.m. Check website chat and crank up my PCTV.
6.25. a.m. Watch lead up events with bowl of cereal in hand ... mmm BBC probably.
7.00 a.m. Shower .. make up, hair .. chose outfit. What have I got in Red, White and Blue ? No, thought better of a hat. :)
8.15 a.m. Turn telly on in lounge.
Footstool out .. more coffee and more fags.
9.00 a.m. > 12 p.m. Watch this wonderful display of the best of British. :p
12 p.m. >>> until rest of transmissions. Just a matter of when I get out the snacks and wine really. Could be in a drunken stupour by 3.p.m .. don't usually drink during day . so apologies in advance for any strange posts.

Play it by ear after that. Probably watch re-runs .. :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

No suprise there, like you, everyone of the same age as the Queen will do similar.
:hidewall:

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Kate, if you have read my recent blog you will see that you won't be the only one organising your day around the festivities(No, not me).........I hope you enjoy it all.......and what does it matter if you have a drop too much(I thought that was what weddings were all about) you can always take yourself off to bed and have it slept off good and proper for Saturday morning.....when they will be showing it all over again:)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Ladies sounds like a plan, good call ! Drink to forget (the day) & it won't half go quickly. As for me when I get in It'll be German telly & DVD's, then Sat & Sun out of the house tiddler bashing for 48 hrs, with about 20 odd other Fellas (I do believe there'll be Alcohol involved & burning lumps of meat to boot ! ) :D.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Cheeky .. not quite there yet... :p

Thanks Margaret .. will probably do just that.. :)

And more cheek for altering my post.
What's tiddler bashing ? Is it catching ?

(Feeling smug now for daring to put up my post in this thread)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

think Viz ;)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Hopefully ! :D Kate, It's the fine piscatorial art of Angling (usually only little un's, hence Tiddlers. After all I'm sure you're aware all the big un's get away :)) After the gruelling Competition of sitting on our arses in the Sun & drinking Beer for 5 hours "Tiddler bashin'" we then retire to the Gentlemens Lounge (the park benches at our lake) there to regale, exaggerate & be somewhat economical with the truth about the ones that got away & with the re-tellings our scaley quarry increasing in enormity & outrageousness as the evening wears on & the Ale flows. :eek:

Now isn't that better than some old wedding ? :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Errr . errr .... let me think now. Nope .... don't like maggots, and too much fresh air curls me hair. :)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

A far better way in my opinion Dave, but in my case I wouldn't even bother with the angling.
If you have read my earlier post on this subject you will know that our 42nd wedding anniversary is on the 29th April, same day as said wedding and we had booked a Rhine Cruise to celebrate. Since writing the post my wife has suffered a massive heart failure and has been confined to hospital for a few weeks, now she is home and has a nurse and carer visiting each day and I haven't the courage to go alone or even ask another fair maiden to take her place.
I will not be watching the do on TV or even going to the Mayor and Britcliffe's party at the Town Hall for anybody who's anniversary is the same day as the wedding.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Less....I am going to quote from some famous film or other.......'live long and prosper' :D:D:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Gremlin, sorry to hear that you will not be able to go on the cruise...but glad that your wife is home with you. I hope she improves and that you can enjoy the day together.
And a very Happy Anniversary to you both.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Strange that, quite a few of the Laydies like a well presented Worm :D Remember, it's not how deep you fish but how you wiggle your Worm ! Does it every time & I'm pretty sure ol' Willsy Boy has been showing young Kateleen (or whatever they're calling her now) the wonders of his Worm up in the crags & glens of yon Bonny Scotland, aye out with the Gillies & Andies yer Uncle ! Some fine fishing to be had up that way. ;)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Oh Son! How could you do this to your poor old(adopted) Mother???????
Haven't I told you I have a very pictorial imagination? Well, I have and that picture is making me cry, and hold my sides with the laughing.......I think I might just need a whiff of Jaysays oxygen.:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Anyway worms aren't maggots........don't you have to put maggots in your mouth to warm 'em up........NO don't. Please, that has really tickled my gag reflex!

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Sorry to hear about that Gremlin, not nice, but she's home & you're together & although it's not going to be the wonderful time you'd planned but at least things should be bucking up for you both in the near future, so best wishes & happy Anniversary (as best it can be in the situation). :)

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Thank you Margaret, it is kind of you. We have had a rough time and I am getting a bit knackered but I have employed a good cleaner and her carer is OK.
I am 73 and was looking forward to the holiday, we have been three times before and this one was from Bonn to Basle.
I can always look at our holiday videos and have a few glasses of decent wine just imagining we are there again.

I have a confession to make as well, we have only been married 34 years, the other 8 were trying to make up our minds which wedding ring she wanted, still it is 42 years with the clothes in the same wardrobe.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Ah Gremlin, that is lovely.......If we both make it to October we will celebrate 45 years married...longer than lots of folk have been alive......and I still feel only 35 :D
Glad you have got some good help to keep you and your lady comfortable.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

:unsure8: Sorry Ma ! (Head down, swings foot) :foryou:

All part of the armoury, you always need a plan "B" :) As to the maggot thing, don't think they're over keen either ! :D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

It's Ok Son.......I have changed my drawers now:)...thought the grass was a bit damp :D:D:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Gremlin I hope that you wife feels better soon, and as these lot keep telling me make sure you look after yourself aswell!

Happy Anniversary!

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Your quite welcome Margaret:D

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Thanks heth, it's certainly been a tough old start to the year but we are coping OK.
I always thought the saying "The NHS will look after you from cradle to grave" was true but now I find my wife needs a carer I have to add the words "as long as you pay" to the end of the statement. Both of us paid tax and stamp for a total 80 years but that doesn't count, or so it seems.

Once again, thanks to all who wished us well and a speedy recovery for my wife, I have received a few pm's I have replied to.
ps, one was rather nasty but didn't get a reply.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

Why on earth would anybody want to send a nasty PM, especially when you've been have tough times with your wife being ill, just what would anybody gain by doing that, the mind does boggle. Glad to hear your wife's on the mend Gremlin

Re: Wedding Free Zone
 

I were gonna post the same John, its disgusting that some-one can do that and I hope they feel ashamed of themselves.

That link took me to the front page, I'm pretty sure you didn't mean the BNP chappy.
However you could have meant Hollands pies?:confused:

As it is I'll stick to John Smiths thanks, unless of course, you are getting them in.

Re: Wedding Free Zone
