I wasn’t going to pay for it so I waited until the library had it. Glad I didn’t pay for it, having read it. Not a good book and quite delusional ,unfortunately. I was hoping to feel some sympathy for the ‘author’ ( if he actually managed to write it himself ) but no, nada. Self indulgence par excellence. Ah well, sometimes the press are right …

Does anyone know anything about this new video clip that has been released by Harry and Meghan? I haven’t seen it and wondered if anyone has. What is the point of it? Does anyone know?

Video clip?
I'm more interested in why Meghan carries sunglasses at night when out for a birthday meal in a restaurant. And why wear a dress you can barely walk in?

Oops sorry, back to Spare ......

Are they patio heaters behind them? 😮😮

Digressing from ‘Spare’, but I always feel like clipping back those hanks of hair with a couple of hair grips that Meghan frequently has framing her face.

Yes, they look like patio heaters shock

It was apparently a birthday meal for Megan (her birthday today, the 4th) where she's wearing that hard-to-walk in striped outfit.

I would hate to have those strands of hair hanging down, and would keep seeing them out of the corner of my eye.

As it's an Italian restaurant, wouldn't the strands of hair dangle in your spaghetti carbonara?

I always tie DGD's locks back when she eats her spag bol here!

The call is not just "to a young girl" it is to young people involved in organisations that have been funded by the Youth Power Fund which is part of the ResponsibleTechnology Project. Helping to equalise access to technology and deal with cyber bullying for young people.

Elderly people get bullied too, parents and grandparents.

The Times asks - what next for them , reality tv ?

Reported AGAIN. That is now seven identical posts reported and deleted from various threads. After being beaten over the head with all these spammy ads I am absolutely certain that I would never use the publishing platform being touted (not that I would have done anyway, as I don't speak the right language. The spammer is wasting their own time as well as GN's.)

Some bots just won't take a hint!

The AI isn’t sufficiently nuanced perhaps!
