I didn't know snakes could have comb-overs or as they are called in parts of Europe - barcodes.

Maybe, when Charles becomes King, the UK will have the good sense to do away with the monarchy. Who would want that dork as a king? But then, Elizabeth might outlive him.
Now that Elizabeth achieved her goal of being the longest serving English monarch, don't you think that she might be trying to prevent Charles from becomming king?

Back to the wedding: It is just a big waste of money that could be used for more important things.

The bigger question is do we even care about Charles and His Mother?

and, You mean the wedding money could be used for tax cuts and government subsidies to the rich and privileged?

But my darling MAC, Wills and Kate are the rich and privileged Royalty. They are the ones that get the subsidies and the privileges...

They have people walking the path of the bride and groom from the royal residence to Westminster Abbey checking that tulips and flowers that have lost their bloom are replaced with fresh blooming flowers. London will be gorgeous for the wedding.

>>A man in Britain got Wills and Katy tattooed on his two front teeth...

>>I posted this and then read the article (that's ass backwards, I know) but I never heard of “gnasher tats” ... I'm too old for this stuff!!!

By Rina Raphael

Is there something stuck on your teeth? Oh no, that’s just a tattoo of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

One man has officially won The Windsor Knot’s royal wedding mania title by willingly paying £1,000 to submit to six hours in a dentist’s chair in order to have the famous duo emblazoned on his choppers. (The prize? Ridicule!)

British plumber Barmy Baz Franks, 29, got a dentist to use ultrafine brushes and stencils to paint images of the smiling royals. The temporary ivory art – known as “gnasher tats” – will last roughly three months, depending on how much Barmy Baz Franks brushes. “I’ve done some unusual dental cosmetics in my time, but this was certainly one of the strangest,” said the dentist, Dr. Neil Gerrard, in an interview with Small World News Service.

Have you thought about the money the wedding will be generating? I am sure hotels will be full. Money generated for the travel industry. Shopkeepers will be selling memorabilia and raking in the money. All in all I think it will be good for business. I know I bought a new hat for the event.

Spend money to make money.
