Ok just for those who are living on another planet, no its just Turkey! You can watch (unless you are a Republician)the royal wedding on a large tv screen today in Cesme, much bigger than the one at Ibo's. personally I wish the happy couple well, even though they are going to be part of what is arguebly one of the worlds more dysfunctional families. Good luck to them, today is one of the few times when I wish I was back in the U.K.

We all (Ihope) wish them well.

[sunny]

Not when it is followed by 'all', Aggie.

Well I watched it and thought it went very well. Kate looked beautiful and the dress was just right. All the crowds seemed to be enjoying themselves and the atmosphere seemed fantastic.

So, size matters after all, eh, even on a wedding day?

Have only seen pictures of the event. I could not watch it live because of the time difference of UK and the US East coast. So it happened while I was at work. I thought it was cool how William was in Royal military uniform. Kate's dress was pretty hough some folks over here on the web are taking jabs at Princess Beatrice though because of her hat choice.

And interesting how they rode off in a sports car, instead of a carraige.

".............are taking jabs at Princess Beatrice though because of her hat choice"


I'm not surprised, it was more like a set of antlers. she's been slated in the UK press and her sisters outfit.

I could'nt believe what either of them were wearing and thought they were awful.

[Agamemnon]

Abi, as your little message from the Dalai Lama states, don't hurt them, they must have spent hours cultivating that look!Btw, as no one asked me as to the whereabouts of aforementioned giant tv screen, do I detect a breath of royal indiference in Cesme or just plain indifference?

[sunny]

Go on then, tell us where it is/was.

Sorry, posted in wrong place by mistake.

Actually I think that in the unlikely event that they join our forum and see my comment they would be grateful and thank me, as I don't think anyone would tell them.

Touche Abi -- yet another case of the Emperor's clothes ?

[sunny]

Unfortunately, the poor things have got lambasted in the press so they know what people think about their outfits. I really think they should take friend with them when they go shopping for clothes as they seem to have a knack of picking unflattering ensembles.

Btw, as no one asked me as to the whereabouts of aforementioned giant tv screen, do I detect a breath of royal indiference in Cesme or just plain indifference?

I wasn’t surprised no one asked you where this giant screen was situated, Agamemnon. After all if it was so big (bigger than the one at İbo’s you tell us for no apparent reason) it could probably be clearly seen.

What does surprise me is that you submit this comment to a Forum dedicated to providing information to visitors and ex-pats and, although suggesting where perhaps we shouldn’t go, remain secretive on the (apparently) bigger and better screen, presumably hoping members or guests will be so intrigued they will ask you for more information. I don't think it's "indifference" it's just that life's too short!

Tell the truth Dande it was a slip on my part, in all the excitement I just fofgot to put it in, the location that is.but as noone asked ı just thought aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BOŞVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, one more thing, did anyone who watched it feel just a little bit homesick?

Nah, me neither!

[Fil]

Well, I was at home and it made me feel a bit sick, is that what you mean?

I hoped you weren't keeping this information from us deliberately. Thanks for the explanation.

It was good to see snippets of the wedding (mainly the actual ceremony) and, of course, Britain does this sort of thing extremely well. But homesick? me neither!

[sunny]

Ha ha Fil.

No, I'm quite happy here.
