I'll be working during the day and not going near the BBC/UK news outlets in the evening.

Somewhere dry probably, and rather thankful that I won't be camping. The forecast for Friday is heavy rain.

Riding during the day, probably, down the pub in the evening, although they're having a party there, so there won't be a total escape. I'll just do what I usually do and ignore it, same as anything I'm not interested in.

Hahahahahahaha!

avoiding?? not sure if thats the right word but I'll be doing what I normally do and go for a ride maybe have a bbq and go to a pub.
If you don't care then you don't care no need to avoid, by actively avoiding you obviously care.....

If you want to go camping then great but why do it in the name of avoiding the royal wedding? I shall probably be staying at home watching some films or other on telly.
And how does the "no electricity" equate to "no wedding"?

The usual Friday things, won't make any difference to me.

Why not celebtrate it?Nothing against them, just not interested, they're just people that mean nothing to me - there are a hundred things I'd rather be doing. I'm gonna try and get out for a long ride I think.

Why not celebtrate it?It's a creditability thing. As a Guardian/Socialist Worker reader, BillMC feels he must take extreme measures to avoid the Royal Wedding. Finding an isolated place with no electricity, running water, or modern western medicine, whilst not strictly necessary, shows a commitment and his impeccable credentials as an anti-Royalist.
I don't know how he's going to guarantee that the folk in the next tent won't have a portable radio though. A safer option would have been to stay indoors in his own home.........although that obviously would have been positively undramatic.

Getting up at 6.30 to help my daft sister-in-law to move furniture out of a house into storage (I do get to drive the van though). Not as an avoidance technique, it's just the day she chose to do it, personally I'd rather be sat at home with a beer.

So many people seem to be trying to make such an effort and noise about not watching it, me I'll be doing my normal routine and it so happens that routine is working. If I was off it'll be doing stuff with the family and riding my bike the TV wouldn't be on anyway or any other media really.

Off to the Highlands for three days with kids on a DofE exped. No TV no radio.
Avoidance nope more extreme apathy. Just bored of it and the media fawning. Mildly peeved i'm not getting an invite given that i've helped pay for it.Posted 1 year ago # -
'A creditability thing'? I take it English isn't your first language with which to spread your carping bile. I can only imagine that life has dealt you the sh1t end of the stick, bullied at school, poor qualifications, short, underpaid, bossed around at work, bald, unlucky in love but at least ST gives you the opportunity to vent your spleen with impunity and tell the world how angry you are with everyone else as well as with yourself. Praise be.

Surely unless you normally hang around Westminster Abbey or Buckingham Palace, or watch lots of TV, you would be avoiding it anyway?

Not "creditability" but "credibility" ...... my proofreading leaves much to be desired. And you're right, English isn't my first language - it's my third. I stood my ground at school and wasn't bullied, and achieved qualifications to CSE level - plus my trade ones. I'm 6 foot one and a half, have always been underpaid, but never been bossed around. I have a full head of hair, and have been surprisingly lucky in love.
I take it that you don't agree with my suggestion for your reasons for finding a location without electricity for Friday ? Having now established the important facts, such as my height, maybe you can explain your cunning plan ?
BTW, thanks for pointing out "how angry" I am, had you not, I might of been tempted to to think it was you who was angry and "venting your spleen".

What are your first two languages out of interest?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Well your getting a day off out of it. Perhaps if you have no interest etc you should go to work as normal! Christ this forum has some real plums on it..
