So Boris has been busy

By the meteorological calendar today is the first day of Spring, trisher, so I'm going by that. The sooner we are out of winter the better so far as I am concerned.

I didn’t buy it..it came free, boom boom! Actually none of us knows what happened in the wine spilling incident, you can choose scenarios.It was reported one way and am thinking they had both been at the wine bottles that day.
I don’t care either way. Cheers

Trisher, now that’s interesting because I always thought the first day of Spring is the 21st March, first day of Summer 21st June etc. But some people do say the 1st March is beginning of Spring, it’s often put out by media too. The Summer Solstice is 21st June, Winter Solstice 21st December, and that’s where the season dates come from, always the 21st.
Please correct if I’m wrong, but it’s what I learnt at school yonks ago.
Sorry, off thread topic.

It's all here:
When does Spring Start?
I have always said 20th or 21st March was the first day of Spring, and the Astronomical and Astrological new year, but I must admit the meteorological seasons are very nice and neat!

I wish Carrie well, and hope the pregnancy and birth go well. It is fairly obvious to those who will see that this news was released to save PPatel's neck, and some of you on here really need to give yourselves a good talking to! Would any of us really like our daughters to be involved with a sleazebag like him? Pregnant with his child? I note that the blue rinse brigade who are quick to criticise anyone needing to use a food bank ( 'well, they shouldn't keep in having children') are silent when this serial philanderer gets yet another woman pregnant. As for suggesting that it is 'good news' or that it is 'joyous' well, I do not agree.

Oooo Gill, you'll be for it. 1) You disparage their boy. 2) . You've called them (us) the blue rinse brigade.

I love a barney.

I just don't care. Obviously I don't wish the woman or the child any harm. The hype is something else. Why is it joyous. They are not bloody royalty. Should we have bells ringing and flags waving. Think of others from all parties, who have carried on a civilised and dignified family life.

I have pondered a blue or pink rinse on my blonde hair now and then ?common sense has prevailed so far.
Technically he did ‘get another woman pregnant’ but the woman is living with him, is engaged to him and no doubt had some say in whether she became pregnant or not.
For all we know, her Mother is delighted by the news, the impending marriage and baby and is also pleased her daughter will be the wife of the PM.Who can confidently say otherwise?

True lemon. Some folk have no standards.

True, none of us can possible know lemon, although we love to speculate. I stick by my opinion though, that he is not every Mother's dream for their daughter. As to your hair colour, I think you are more of a soft blue, with kind pinkish streaks, definitely not a blue, hard hairsprayed blue rinse!

Oh, and it is not bloody joyous or a cause for celebration other than for Carrie, her family, and hopefully him.

I feel sorry for her. She'll have two kids to care for, the overgrown toddler and the new one.

Good for you Maddyone and Chestnut.

I wish I could drum up some excitement. Sigh. I don’t wish Carrie or the baby any harm but I too think this news has been released as a distraction so that the great British public don’t dwell on the floods, Covid19, Priti Patel an Australia deal etc

I have to say I really don’t like our Prime Minister at all though as I hate lies & self interest - sorry

Let's just hope that the new kid doesn't get a silly name like the four from his second marriage.

Silly names Hetty Lara, Milo Cassia and Theodore. I dont think they are silly, in fact I like the boys names of Milo and Theodore.
I know people neither like or trust Boris, and there is alot I disagree with him on, but let's not try to find petty things to say, and be fair names are personnel choice.

Gill ? I will have to give that some thought, I don’t want a Mrs Slocombe hair colour.

What names do the children have Hetty? You’re not thinking of Rees Mogg are you?

Oh, x posts.

I quite like those names too, although Theo not so much.
I thought they would be names like Apple, Mercury or Spacedust.

Exactly lemon personnel choice. My friends son is called Theodore, Theo for short, he is a very hard working, pleasant, and popular young man.

Yes lemon that's who I was thinking of, Mrs Slocombe! Not you of course, more the Mother of a childhood friend, bastion of the Con Club, JP, intolerant, Tory........hair like a helmet.....thought Margaret Thatcher was ok, wouldn't approve of Boris but wouldn't say a word against him as he 'is one of us' .....

Chestnut neither DH nor I think the the meteorologists ever get the start of the seasons correct.
Although the primroses and daffodils are in full bloom, so who knows?

Theo is a great name! DGC's little friend is Theo, a delightful child.
Lara - a Russian name as is Boris
Cassia - lovely and spicy
Not sure about Milo although I do have a grand-dog called Milo!
Although I do like Milo the drink.

I'd wonder about Hetty too, although I did have a great aunt Hettie but she was Henrietta.

Names are personal choice, as is whether to have a baby or not. I’m sure, no I know there are worse fathers than Boris. I worked in a difficult area during my teaching career. I knew fathers who were drug addicts, fathers who were murderers, fathers who neglected their children so the children didn’t have enough to eat, fathers who battered the mother whilst their children watched, fathers who abused their children sexually, and fathers who were totally disinterested and never saw their children.
There are plenty of fathers who are terrible parents, let’s get this into perspective.

Yes, there are but I still wouldn't want him for a SIL.
