Sodding Hell...I thought Cecil Parkinson's days were surely over.

Tories in power, miners in the news, OMD release an album and now a Cecil Parkinson joke... what decade is this, exactly?

I'm not, and neither is anyone I spoke to today.

But you were the first to start a thread about it on here.

I feel smug to be living in abroad, where these is no mention of this story (despite the UK media trying to claim it is the top story in the USA).

Wall-to-wall coverage on CNN.

Fair enough, I can only speak for what is broadcast in the USA at the time I look. I notice it has been added to their website, but not wall to wall;

It's all good in my eyes...she's fit and there simply has to be people out there with nude pics of her or something that will be worth a fortune now - expect them to be all over the net in the next few months

Hurrah for Royal Weddings

Chariman? Do you concur?

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Yesterday was a good day to announce/bury the story of a million pound pay out to suspected terrorists...

Sorry CKN!!!!

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

The USA media has started to cover it now. It is one of the major stories in the gossip columns. It is not the lead story anywhere in the mainstream media news programmes, the broadsheets have a paragraph on the front pages, with direction to the story inside. I have not found it in the tabloids, but have yet to look.

Having just caught a report on the BBC 6 o'clock news I have suddenly become interested. Why? Because we could well end up paying for the wedding that's why! The report said the royals may chip in! And there's me thinking there is a recession and spending cuts all over the place.

As somebody who is getting married next year, I am vaguely interested in it if only for the date they will pick.

God help them if they choose the same date, they will feel the wrath of my missus!

Also a good day to announce that Dave has decided that the state shouldn't pay for his personal photographer.

The best thing about this is that the entire Royal family will have to line up against a wall for a photo. Let us hope that somebody has a machine gun handy in order to do the decent thing.

Apparently her father originates from Leeds, so that's alright then.
