I think that it is over by the Falkland Islands. 


Heh.  I have to admit, some time after the Falklands War broke out, it emerged that many of even our most high-profile journalists had panicked because they'd thought the Falklands were somewhere off Scotland.  Can you imagine?  "Feck!  How did the Argies manage to get their fighter-jets all the way across the Atlantic without our noticing?"

If he had been invited, and im still not sure he hasnt, then those who are ridiculing him now would be complaining about the security costs and travel expenses.

You are comparing the wedding of the Prince of England with a couple of actors in the states? Do you get all your info on the people here from the telly or do you actually think things out for yourself occasionally?

I wonder how many Americans actually know where England is on a map?



Or that the Brits burned down the White House.

Shouldn't have 1776 been resolved by 1812?  and those same forces are in play in 2011.

Battle of York... 1813.

Burning of the Washington... 1814.

Doesnt seem that out of date to me.

Status: offline 		I think it had to do with both of them being famous, so the couple did not invite the Obama;s
because of too much press, and also whom would the press be taking more pictures of, the wedding
of  Royal Couple or the First African Amercian President!  It was plan and spoke of before they knew
they would not go!  They had already visited with the Queen and Prince Phillip!  No snub was intended
at all!  Also no snub was taken!!!!!!!

Mons ( i am so late with my post lol but hey I got it in)
