[HPFGU-OTChatter] Putting in my 2p again

For saying we were initially asked not to discuss it ... we're doing an
awful lot of discussion over the Pope.  What a rebellious group we are!
Here in the UK the death of the Pope has had big implications on the
Royal wedding - its been postponed until Saturday as a mark of respect
(or was it so that their guest numbers weren't sufficiently dwindled to
call it a wash out as everyone prefered to go to the funeral instead?)
Even Charles is going to the funeral to represent the Queen ...
And now it's been announced we're having a general election on May 5th -
  joy of joys.  Now ... politics ...there's a topic ...

Well I think you answered your own question there. Not so much that the
guest list has dwindled (although it did present a scheduling conflict for
people like Blair) but more that it's difficult to hold a wedding in Windsor
when the groom is in Rome - wonder if he though the Pope was a 'bloody man'
too? Really why people are so surprised at Charles' foot in mouth disease is
beyond me, look at who his father is for goodness sake!

*Please* let's not discuss UK politics - they seem to have been campaigning
since Christmas already and now we get into the *actual* campaigning for
another month. I'm sure most of us on here (well the Brits anyway),
including myself, are already heartily sick of the whole darn thing. Maybe
we could liven things up by locking the MPs in a room and watching the
colour of the smoke to see who the next PM is? Or even just lock them all in
a room - and forget about them.
