William and Kate (now Catherine) are finally going to tie the knot. Who's going to buy a mug?

Maybe they should be awarded as losers' prizes at forthcoming Co-events.

Well, I'm going to be buying about a dozen and probably a commemorative plate too, so I'll probably be able to spare one for you, Howard.Howard Somerset wrote:Not a chance!Martin Bishop wrote:Who's going to buy a mug?

Re: Royal Wedding
My parents had a Charles/Diana commemorative mug which for almost my entire childhood I thought was of them (as in, my parents) at their own wedding.

I'm touched, Martin.Martin Bishop wrote:... so I'll probably be able to spare one for you, Howard.
I'm quite sure it would have more chance of outliving me than the one other commemorative mug that I've ever had - a coronation souvenir, one of which was given to all school kids in 1953.

No, it's just that loving Eurovision is generally considered gayer than loving a good royal wedding.Charlie Reams wrote:Nope. Am I behind the times here?Martin Bishop wrote:Have you read the Eurovision thread?Charlie Reams wrote:Is this C4Countdown's most oblique coming-out topic?
It's one of the many reasons for which people (wrongly) accuse me of being gay.

I reckon offering Kate Middleton as a losing prize will see an epic downturn in the Bevins' performance.Howard Somerset wrote:Maybe they should be awarded as losers' prizes at forthcoming Co-events.

Re: Royal Wedding
My parents have unearthed a number of Charles/Diana wedding commemorative bottles of Coca-Cola. I shall see if I can get a photo of one.
