Admit it, Kate's looks aren't exactly a missfit.

But who were at Williams wedding: Beckham (a football player), E. John (idiot poof and popsinger), other riff raff. And why did he marry a lower class silly woman?

What's the matter with the English??


I think you have a blinkered view of the English and their history. The "breeding" and the upper class are a small subset of the English people.

The working class have been the backbone of English prosperity since The Domesday Book.

English people are completely deluded and have no sense ambition.

I have lots of sense ambition. My sense of smell, for example, is going to be the first olfactory process to run a major car company. My sense of shame is going to be the first abstract concept to cross the atlantic in a rubber dinghy.

To be fair, the former is probably my Scottish heritage coming through, and the latter is down to my having been born on the continent.

I'm not English but I take pride in my vulgarity. :D
