The Princess Party

April 30th, 2011 at 8:48 am by David Farrar

Had a very fun night in Palmerston North last night (a sentence which some might say was unlikely to ever be uttered by me) watching the Royal Wedding. Yes I’m a Republican, but I can still enjoy a good wedding. The dress code was tiaras for women and black tie for men.

It was a hilariously mixed group of people. Three out of the five Kiwiblog editorial team were in attendance, plus I’d guess half the Don Brash coup committee. A wedding can be a good uniter :-)

We also had members of the Monarchist League and Republicans, so it was a very good fun night. Debating the constitutional reform at 1 am is so much more tolerable after many bottles of champagne.

    Are you sure you weren’t plotting the downfall of Gotham City?

    Now if they bypass Prince Charlie and go straight to William and his blushing bride, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, the Republican cause will be set back by at least fifty years.

    But they won’t bypass, will they Andrei, it’s not the done thing. Anyway Charlie is unlikely to have waited three quarters of a century to simply abdicate his responsibilities.

    You don’t know your history – do you Pete George?

    Edward VIII forced to abdicate because he wanted to marry a woman with living husbands.

    Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has a living husband – the precedent was set in 1936.

    Good on you DPF. Looks like you had a great night. Even though I’m a Windsor sceptic, I enjoyed the spectacle immensely – although I couldn’t help but be amazed at the Brits’ ability to create such a total pantomime. Their country is deep in recession and it has long ago lost any real relevance internationally and yet yesterday they looked like a heady empire in the full flush of their power. Amazing! Disney would be proud to be able to create such an extravagant illusion based on almost nothing at all. It was great.

    Q: Why is Prince William’s marriage worse than buying lotto?
    A: With lotto, you do have a slight chance.

    Ah… Kate Middleton, the first person to squeeze into Diana’s ring since Dodi Al Fayed.. (sorry couldn’t help myself)

    I think the two are pretty different and a good example of why I prefer brunettes to blondes.

    Brunettes are more down-to-Earth, grounded.

    How Diana managed to never step on a land mine has always amazed me.

    Have you heard Sharleen Spiteri’s ‘Don’t die before I do’ duet with Til Lindemann and Rammstein?

    It’s in my top five of Rammstein songs.

    Oops!

    I guess the champaign breakfast did not go so well.

    Hey DPF that’s the best way in my experience, piss them off then you can sleep.
