Meghan on the Ellen show.

Have you seen the reports showing her performing on the street. Sucking a baby’s bottle and talking gibberish. Why would anyone think this was a good idea? It’s absolutely cringe worthy.

I’ve watched it, Maddyone (hmm at myself!) and Meghan was like an automaton, repeating the words being said down the earpiece.

It’s been reported that Meghan wore an ear piece and Ellen gave her instructions to do strange things such as nibble food like a chipmunk, and say strange things, and other strange instructions in front of some stall holders. It seems strange to me that if true, that two grown women would engage in such infantile acts. Still, as my grandmother used to say,
‘There’s nowt so funny as folk.’

I've just picked up my copy of Paris Match for the weekend reading. It seems like even the foreign press, who used to be sympathetic, are turning against Meghan ..... "Why she lied" in big letters.

It was obvious when she walked down the aisle unaccompanied,

?? Don’t actors have to be looked at by definition ?

Shropshirelass Sat 20-Nov-21 10:07:45

Once an actress always an actress. She has always been ‘look at me’. No change there then.

Order, order.

I find tickingbird not guilty due to the evidence presented by Lucca

Lucca Sat 20-Nov-21 10:05:21

Exactly

Alegrias1 Sat 20-Nov-21 10:01:19

It was me that tickingbird was having a go at, not EDG. She never called her that name.

We should stand up for the truth, even when the people concerned are being quite unpleasant. ??

Tickingbird I can assure you that I don’t read ‘gossipy magazines’ either.
I’ve explained why calling Ellen ‘degenerate’ is unpleasant

What are you talking about??? I haven’t referred to this woman as degenerate. It’s about time you thought about what you’re posting. Maybe you’d like to apologise.

That goes for you Beswitched too.

You did refer to her as degenerate. It's there in black and white 'Ellen degenerate'.
Why are you denying it instead of just apologising and admitting you got in wrong. We all make mistakes. No shame in that.

Bit of a cheek demanding others apologise to you shock

Just to put this one to bed. Here are screenshots which show how it “started “

Oh dear Beswitched you are in a tizz. Now I’m saying this very slowly for you so you don’t get confused. I t. W a s N o t. M e. T h a t. R e f e r r e d T o. ED’S. S u r n a m e I t W a s. A n o t h e r. P o s t e r.

I’m nothing if not magnanimous as I can see you’re struggling.

Eton was under huge pressure to get Harry that second A-level because it was the minimum requirement to enroll at Sandhurst's Officer training programme. Therefore the Art teacher was ordered to write his Art coursework for him.

It all came out at an industrial tribunal a few years later because they sacked the Art teacher when she complained (internally at the school) about being forced to help Harry cheat

Never knew that. Did she win at the tribunal?

The Daily Mash won't be to everyone's taste. I find it quite hilarious at times

Too offensive to post, but very apt, I think.

ixion it was a reference to this, from The Young Ones.
I myself went to a place that only just stopped being a poly.
The thing is about ‘threads like these’ is that there is always someone keen to have a go at you.
And I can’t be arsed with it

I think Prince Charles has shown that he is considerably more intelligent than he is often given credit for.

To begin with he became concerned about the dangers we pose to our environment at a time when he was considered a crank, yet he stuck with it. he picked up on climate change, how we produce our food and the other environmental issues that now are of global concern.

I wonder how all those who make superior comments on the intelligence of the RF would measure up, if IQ comparisons were made.

Prince Harry was highly successful army officer. Not a high flyer, but well regarded for his technical skills and his empathy for the soldiers he served with. The greatest shame is that he was not able to make a lifetime career in the army.

I'm not sure about the empathy. Didn't he get sent on equality and diversity courses more than once due to his inappropriate language.

I’m afraid I agree with Fanny Lucca. Harry has inherited his parents’ lack of academic ability and I can’t imagine what he would have achieved academically without his very expensive and privileged education.

I don’t dispute he lacks academic ability but I objected to the “he’s not very bright “ comment. He can’t help what kind of intelligence he was born with. Imagine the outcry if we said “ she’s not very pretty is she” about some princess or other.

Is that hair shirt enough?

No need to avoid these threads just because I objected to one comment,

Re Harry and Eton
Going completely off piste here, but what the heck.
I’ve always wondered why a first from Oxbridge is held in higher regard than a first from Scumbag College.
Surely it’s much more difficult, and a greater achievement, to get a good degree from the latter?
Can anyone shed light? Thank you!

What Scumbag College did you have in mind, FC?
I hope it wasn't mine, or anyone else's who's proud to have got a First from any other Institution.
