it turns out that the publicity shy couple were so keen on privacy that they didnt even want the £38 million wedding we were forced into paying for them, blimey, they could have said something earlier, like before the public coughed up a fortune for security, A list celeb guests and more melodrama than an x factor sob story, they are now claiming they wanted none of that because " it didnt feel like their day ", but they went through it anyway, bless em. They told Oprah that they actually had a private exchange of vows three days before, just the two of them were present as well as the archbishop of canterbury - perfectly normal behaviour, , now that they have aired all their laundry in public to the whole world, they are off to work on that private life they claim to crave, At least until the next big interview comes up

There are some very genuine posters on these threads.
Then there are those who sound like a stuck record.
It is laughable because the latter keep banging on and on far worse than the posters they want to criticise.
Very ironic.

Wish we could have a thread discussing the monarchy

Saying “Carrie whatsername” seems pretty rude, whatever one’s politics

Ellianne, I can remember him being introduced as Harry at some event or another, and the host(ess) being quite clear that this was the first of many events that he was to be known by just Harry from now on.

Well that died a quick death didn't it?

I do accept there is no financial worth in him (to employers) without his connection to the RF.

So if I can work this out why didn't he?

All set up to feed the publicity mill from the off.
No publicity is bad publicity say the people in the business of advertising, and they should know.
All part of the H&M band wagon.

If I don’t want to read about a particular topic, do you know what I do? I don’t read it. Also, I don’t leave a comment. There’s a name for people who deliberately read about people/things they despise. I can’t remember what it is...

?What is it ?? Seriously I’ve no idea what you’re talking about

Ok I’m back as it’s raining.... hands up iam64, suziewoozie and others......who has ever said h and m can do no wrong ? Or that they are “sacred cows “?
Not me for sure,

What I’ve said frequently is that these threads thrive on gossip, speculation, innuendo, misinformation and sometimes downright untruths. They become tedious and repetitive in the extreme and when posters are called out for this, they respond by misrepresenting our position or telling us to get off the thread ( which really works as a strategy ?)

I agree Elliane although expect them to ask HQ to remove your post as they hate any suggestion of staying away from a thread they don’t like.?
Why do they post horrible comments? I have my own theories on that.
Yes Earnshaw all that you say is true, and I very much doubt that H and M are done yet, because actually they don’t really want a quiet life at all, they need to be noticed.

Who on earth would have that comment removed ? It’s nothing to do with guidelines.

Do share your theories.

Ok I’ll go.

Methinks someone’s feeling a bit sore and hard done by because of a deletion elsewhere. ?

TAAT.
Something like this? ?

Well , I googled it and TAAT seems to be a global cigarettes manufacturer using tobacco alternative . I did ask nicely ?

Sorry - thread about a thread

Urmstongran Mon 03-May-21 14:01:06

It means either ‘thread about a thread’ or ‘talking about a thread’.
I’m not quite sure which Atqui but you are very welcome.
Thank you for your patience.
Your call means a lot to us.

He who must not be named and all his celebrity pals done good:

^The event raised $53.8 million (£38.8 million) for Covax, which is working to to ensure vaccines are shared fairly among all nations, rich and poor. Organisers said it was enough to help purchase almost 10.3 million vaccine doses.^

OK, that's great. So where are all those vaccine doses? Do we get to see where they get shipped to, and visual proof of them being delivered and used?

Well the event was only last night so they probably haven't bought them yet confused

Honestly, is that a serious criticism? The event was for COVAX. The Pope was involved FGS.

suziewoozie Mon 03-May-21 14:00:41

Why does it matter what he may be living off? I mean it’s not as though he’s alone in that is it ? If that is indeed the case. He’ll never not be the Q’s grandson and the next king’s son and one after that’s brother will he? You can’t eradicate any of that title or no title. Yes I know, ‘snot fair is it?
