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 …

The AI isn’t sufficiently nuanced perhaps!

Some bots just won't take a hint!

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.)

Elderly people get bullied too, parents and grandparents.

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

For their video where they are making telephone call to a young girl they are sitting very close together in the garden, soooooo luved up !

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.

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!

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.

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.

merlotgran Fri 04-Aug-23 18:34:55

Are they patio heaters behind them? 😮😮

Joseann Fri 04-Aug-23 18:16:31

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

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?

'recollections may vary'!

They speak their truth Anniegrin.

Anniebach Fri 04-Aug-23 17:36:06

They are praised for making a telephone call, no matter the hurt and betrayal they have done to both their families.

Anniebach Fri 04-Aug-23 12:37:12

Problem is - are they speaking the truth

Glorianny Fri 04-Aug-23 12:06:36

Their appearance is a small part of a video promoting the Responsible Technology Youth Project. It's something looking to support and encourage the responsible use of technology and prevent things like cyber bullying. We should be standing behind such projects and not just dismissing them because we dislike anyone. vimeo.com/850385653

Except most of the comments don’t pertain to the book and went off into the predictable slagging fest of H and M
As opposed to a “slagging fest” of the population of the U.K. whose royal family have been maligned by this delusional pair of narcissists?
I am intrigued that anybody on the other side of the pond can be quite so obsessive about members of the British royal family and know so much more than anybody living here.

I just saw it, so funny, on uTube, it has been described as ‘a sick bag’ , and they are ‘all loved up’.
