Zonker: ... And I think they expect me to just swoop in and join the battle over my good name! But I can't! Ze-who-must-not-be-named Day is in April, and I have huge conflict on my calendar! Besides, I am but one dude! What could I possibly... B.D.: What conflict on your calendar? Zonker: Why, the royal wedding, of course. Sam: Obvi. B.D.: Why do I ask? I know better.

The stress of being pulled from all directions would kill anyone else, but Zonk always finds a way of handling it.

When you ask a silly question, you’re going to get a silly answer.

^Still a Peer, IIRC; the chap who wanted it back went and crashed his Spitfire…

Zonker’s almost certainly no longer a member of the House of Lords - they got rid of the hereditary peers a decade ago - but he’s still a Viscount.

“Obvi”? Oh god.

I had forgotten that story line, but as a Viscount, he’ll probably get an invitation, & it’s bad form to decline such.

I thought they were getting married in August? Wait just a moment while I google it…

Well, it says we thought they were getting married next summer (2011), but it’s been changed to June 2012. So does that mean Zonker can get involved with his Day after all?

OMG – 18 months of the same silly headlines? If they would just get married and produce the heir and the spare so we could all quit WORRYING.

I heard they were opening the ceremony up to the commoners and raffling off tickets. Or something like that. Point being, he could theoretically get in.
