Tis the royal welding, er wedding today. Besides the endless coverage, and everyone trying desperately to tie their product or service to it, there are also massively silly bets on offer. All the bookmakers are trying to come up with even more silly bets.
It starts out moderately sensible. Will it rain?
Then you get "what colour will the Queen's hat be"?
Then you get really silly:
Prince Philip to be seen asleep during the wedding service (10/1)
The Archbishop of Canterbury to say 'In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy GOAT' during the service (100/1)
Which couple will be seen at the Royal Wedding first on live BBC coverage? chas n dave (100/1)
William & Kate's baby to be a Vogue Cover model before 18 years old (33/1)
Meal at reception to be KFC or Burger King (100/1)
Honeymoon plane to be supplied by easyjet (200/1)
************
Sadly I am a gambling man. So I've placed a few modest bets.... This time tomorrow I could be slightly poorer unless.....
Kate wears a white dress (88p riding on this).
Queenie to wear an apricot hat (£1)
Queenie to wear a blue hat (£1, ma ma's choice)
Huw Edwards (tv presenter) to say "St Andrews" first (£1.17)
Results to follow....
***************
ADDITIONAL! 10:15am.
I'm winning so far....
Huw did say "st andrews" which nets £2.93
Victoria Beckscum is wearing blue, so that's another £8.00
Still waiting on Queenie, and putting up with the mindless tv coverage....

Her Maj = Lemon yellow hat
The question "does anyone know any reason why this man and woman should not be joined in holy matrimony?" to be answered with "where do I start ..."
I should have listened to you two...
But not bad overall, £18.32 won.
I got right Kate's dress colour, Posh's dress colour, Huw says & time of arrival.
I got wrong Queenie's hat colour and first celebrity to be spotted.
