    Um...playing football on a field with no goal posts is called jogging while holding a ball. No thanks. Peace.

    What kind of horse(*)(*)(*)(*) is this? And yeah, any wedding that redirects vital services like the police to provide security for it is pretty stupid.

    Oh calm down.... I was just rather surprised that you called another woman's wedding 'stupid' and since this was a royal wedding, of course there would be extra security.......

    Why do you always tell people that oppose you to "calm down?" Are you afraid of refutation? We need to work on that, otherwise you'll never see the humor in my posts. And even if you don't find it humorous, you could at least shut up about it. That said, why would you be surprised I called anything stupid, considering you have had problems with my language multiple times before? And why would it matter if it was another woman's wedding?

    Just a technical point Leo, and we down here are a bit sensitive about this - you mention India, Australia, each each each and Africa. In other words, you name couties by name and then Africa. Africa is not a country. Just saying!

    Truthfully, I said 'calm down' b/c you sounded so rattled... just my impression of you, reading your words - and again truthfully, I've never read humor in your posts. Well, if I ever had, it was so long ago, it's forgotten....

    Now, for you to tell me - or anyone - to 'shut up' about something really is funny b/c that's advice you'd never take yourself and we all know it.....

    I don't know where you ever got the idea that I have a 'problem' w/your language 'multiple times'... I had explained b/f that I don't, but you somehow like to think I do - so have at tit. I've never tho't your language is extraordinary, to 'vulgar' or whatever is going thru your head... but yes, I was a little surprised to read your nasty comment about the royal wedding being 'stupid' and it's b/c of the extra security that's required for such an event? Oh well...... doesn't matter, no big deal - to me anyway...... now I'm going to bed and you have a loverly evening........

    That's you wanting that to be the case, not the actual case at all. Perhaps next time you think I'm "rattled," you should stop and think about it a little while longer. We've had this conversation many times before. It's like clockwork with you, and I'm not sure you've made any progress.

    I don't really give a (*)(*)(*)(*) if you actually find it funny or not. You're not in the target group.

    You can tell me to ****. Whether I listen or not depends on if you actually have any reason to do so. Most of the time you talk to me, you don't. Mostly because it's pissing and moaning about something I said that you didn't agree with.

    Probably the complaining.

    Well, you shouldn't be. That's your mistake. Yes, I think anything that needs to borrow personnel from doing their jobs within an area to protect some over-the-top wedding is stupid. If it's no big deal to you, then by all means, shut up.

    Away you go, we enjoyed the wedding and the day off work. It cheered us all up.

    As did the Jubilee celebrations.

    Are you panicking in case your wedding isn't as well planned as Stick-thin-Kate's? You're not married yet, are you? Or did I miss that meeting..

    Wait, you think I care about my wedding? It took all of two hours of a drive from Palmdale to Long Beach to figure out what we were going to do. I was even just going to get it done in uniform, but I owe it to him to wear a dress once. Other than that? Nothing to it.

    I was wrong - you can be funny.... "you're not in the target group". I guess I should have been crushed instead of laughing, huh? I remember that mentality back in my grade school days...... lol.

    I remember one poster saying everything is all about you and he was right and seriously, this isn't worth my time......... try to have a good day.

    No, not crushed. You should have just been aware. This had nothing to do with me until you made it about me, like you usually do. If it's not worth your time even though you spend an awful lot of time on me, then by all means, figure out what you would rather do instead of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about someone expressing themselves on an online forum. I will have a good day, try to lighten up.

    Not yet. Future tense. We were waiting until I was done with the you-know-what school.

    Obama has never like the British because he believes the lie that his daddy was jailed and tortured by them. Obama returned a bust of the great Winston Churchill back to England after he became president. What does that tell you? Churchill would eat him for breakfast.:evileye:

    No. We are keeping it as small as possible. Our wedding is a celebration for us and should really be between the two of us. I don't understand involving everyone else.

    Heh, yep. His celebration is coming up in November, when one side or the other will be partying like it's 2999 depending on the outcome.

    In keeping with the thread, I'll assume you'll have a British contingency there...Prince William.

    No. I'll invite my RAF buddies when I need a party with a gratuitous amount of alcohol. Even in a country that does not allow the consumption of alcohol. Bless those crazy bastards.

    In Qatar, a British RAF airman, fellow Hercules driver...only female...was made fun of for dragging along her Samsonite luggage on her TDY...shunned by her own...I watched "Pride and Prejudice" with her on her laptop.

    This was the extent of my interaction with RAF personnel..other than radio chatter.

    A tad young for my tastes...just the common bond of military aviation.
    Beyond that, I've never met the person...seems rather ludicrous to give one's "heart" on such a shallow pretense given the propensity of "pretenders" out there.
    There are a multitude of web sites dedicated to cyber relationships, I'd venture to say this is not one of them.

    Thanks just the same though.

    Returning on point....

    Why no American representatives at the "Diamond Jubilee"...?

    The President doesn't like Brits?
