Couldn't they just hurry up and get divorced already?
Sorry, I didn't mean that - I wish them well. But I can't wait for Friday to be over!

I will be watching the coverage from our comedy team that was sent over, the Chasers. they were the ones that crashed the security tight APEC meeting in Sydney.
It would be interesting if they had worked out a similar jape for the wedding, but it might see them dead.

OMG. Clarence House has banned the Chasers.
NOT COOL CLARENCE, NOT COOL.
The story is

I am so sad. That was the only way I would have watched the wedding.

Here is there letter to the Queen on the banning.
The Chaser's letter to the Queen
Dear Australian Head of State,
We would like to place ourselves at your mercy and request a stay of execution for our television program, The Chaser's Royal Wedding Commentary.
We, like Kate, are commoners, and were looking forward to celebrating her wedding to your exalted grandson with a few affectionate observations.
To ensure that our coverage was respectful, we were only planning to use jokes that Prince Phillip has previously made in public, or at least the ones that don't violate racial vilification laws. We've also filmed a joke about hunting grouse which we think you might enjoy.
We Australians are a simple people who don't often get to watch that kind of pomp. The last big wedding we had here was Scott and Charlene on Neighbours. We've asked around, and there are at least six people in this outpost of your empire who would quite like to watch our commentary.
Please consider our plea.
We have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servants,
Cheers,
The Chaser
PS: How serious are you about treason laws?

“Where am I?” asked one bemused soldier.
“One minute me and some of the lads are furiously masturbating onto a digestive biscuit, and the next I’m marching around outside a big church.”
Ah yes, the biscuit game of legend, nothing gay about that.

the last person to do so must eat the biscuit.
Punish those with staying power? Only in the UK

The guy who came first should have to eat it.

You're right!!
Britain's PA news agency reports that 4,500 staff from 100 foreign outlets will be carrying Friday's events live.
CNN has sent 50 people to London to cover the wedding. Brazilian channel Record has sent a team of 12 while Japan's Asahi has a crew of 20 in London, for example.
The main US networks have sent their star anchors, who will be accompanied by British TV celebrities such as Cat Deeley and Sharon Osbourne to provide local knowledge.
The fact that the 1000 GMT wedding will begin in the early morning hours in the US has not deterred network chiefs.
"I'm confident people will be watching. It will be a major global event," said Marc Burstein, executive producer for ABC News Special Events.
CNN said it was "focused heavily on our digital applications so Americans can watch it when they wake up", the Britain's Guardian newspaper said.
The marriage momentum has been maintained online - according to market research firm Nielsen, US websites have run twice as many royal wedding stories as UK sites.

Today's Gold Coast Bulletin has cut-out William and Kate masks.
I'm wearing mine as I type. It makes one feel special.
