Evianers Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The crown Princess of Sweden married today, and what did we see on the BBC news? Sport, sport and yet more sport, with absolutely no mention of the nuptials. There are those [millions] amongst us who are not remotely interested in any form of sport [surprise, surprise] and are already sick to death of non-stop world cup football. Now Wimbledon starts on Monday!Shame on you BBC news = let's have something different..... pleeeeeeeeeeeease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 According to MidiLibre, there is an interesting twist to this story. AP, AFP and Reuters have refused to cover the wedding in text, photo or video because Swedish TV wanted what they (AP, AFP & Reuters) felt was an exorbitant sum for access to the TV pictures.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 [quote user="Celine"]Princes William and Harry were invited to attend the wedding, but preferred to go to the football.[/quote]I wonder which was the more boring, the match or the wedding.Still, at least they got to meet 'Becks'...

nomoss Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 It was on BBC news tonight - or was it maybe France 24 or Aljazeera....? We watch them for a slightly different coverage of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 The moral of this tale is - if you are a nobody don't get married during the football world cup.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 ...or if you want major coverage of your wedding, appear on a reality show before hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekJ Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My interest in the Swedish royal family is about the same as my interest in the World Cup. ZERO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Breaking News.The BBC has decided to drop all coverage of Wimbledon in favour of wall-to-wall World Cup live matches, repeats and Wayne Rooney interviews.Security staff at Wimbledon have also been told to keep a sharp eye open for a pensioner who masquerades as a singer, particularly on days when rain has stopped play.Ladbrokes are offering odds of even money against some plonker blowing one of those bloody footie horns within the first hour on Centre Court tomorrow. (I reckon that's a racing certainty!) It's 5-1 on that if that happens, the crowd will roundly boo the individual as he / she is ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
