Just to annoy Norgy I will be providing live continuous coverage of the royal wedding.

Alternatively I may well just relax in the garden and then go down the boozer. 

In the meantime enjoy The Register's scoop about the event:

Revealed: Secret security plan should Kate leave Wills at the altar

'Operation Pumpkin' prepped for royal runaway bride scenario

By LaHussy • In Bootnotes • At 11:15 GMT 28th April 2011

Police and spooks in charge of security for tomorrow's royal wedding have planned for every possible eventuality - including that of Kate leaving Wills at the altar.

The top-secret contingency plan for a "runaway bride" scenario has been dubbed "Operation Pumpkin", and if put into effect would see hundreds of operatives switch tasks in a desperate attempt to generate a moving security cordon around the escaping future Queen - while simultaneously attempting to preserve Prince William's option to pursue and dramatically win her back.

"Frankly, it's a nightmare scenario," one highly-placed MI5 source confessed to the Reg yesterday. "But you have to plan for every possible contingency, and let's face it, this one's hardly that unlikely, is it? Obviously we had to get together with Clarence House and work something out.

"Naturally, they wanted us to simply make her go through with it - but we said you must be joking: in the UK, in front of millions of witnesses? No way. And the plods would never play ball anyhow.

"So we said, look, if she bottles it we'll just have to get her out pronto, helicopter off the roof maybe, then sort her out with a new identity and young Bill will just have to go on the honeymoon on his own."

However our source said that royal officials were unhappy with that plan. They reluctantly accepted that Ms Middleton remains free to bolt right up until the last moment, but argued that she should be compelled to flee on foot for at least a short distance, so allowing the Prince to pursue her and so perhaps regain some PR benefit for the royal family - and maybe even persuade the absconding future consort to come up to scratch once more.

"That's when it got difficult," says our source. "Now you've got her running out of the Abbey, crowds everywhere, him chasing after her. She's got to be able to run, he's got to be able to catch up if he can. Nightmare."

Someone from work called and woke me up and now I'm counting on the fashion experts to help me sleep again with their talks of hats.

Looks like zombie-Leslie Nielsen is attending.

What's the plan if she turns out to be an alien robot and starts shooting wedding guests with lasers?

And Mr. Bean! And a fat/short Conan.

I need sleep.

What's there to do besides embracing her as our new overlord and possibly savior?

wait... she's eligible to be Queen?  I assumed she could be nothing more than a princess consort...

Yet a queen's husband is only a prince, omg sexism!

I suppose that's the next thing we're gonna vote about after making it so that male heirs are not prefered over females. What is the world coming to?

  So I guess Prince Philip is secretly King and we just don't know, right?
