I hadn’t heard this until yesterday when my student granddaughter greeted me when we met for coffee. It made me laugh because she’s a republican and loves to wind me up in a way that has us both challenging each other’s points of view in a light hearted way.

I hope everyone enjoys their celebrations over the next four days or their escape from it all if that’s their wish.

My husband said it earlier.

Where do they find these funny names? ?

It’s all over social media. At first, I couldn’t see the connection with platypuses. ?

Enjoy your Platty Joob holibobs! grin

Hmm- sounds to me like something that you might need antibiotics for, or an antiseptic cream..

Talking of the celebrations, was surprised at Louis’ behaviour. I know he’s only four, but still ... bet Great Grandmama was secretly horrified.

No. And a thread has been deleted on here already for discussing this.

He's 4.

If you saw all of the balcony footage no doubt you would have noticed Louis and his Great Grandma interacting. Louis was absolutely engaged with HM and her with him…

This video shows QE keeping tabs on Louis' dad being 'lively' himself!

I saw that yesterday, children will be children whatever their parentage.

I find it quite refreshing that they are not perfect stepford children

A thread has already been deleted for talking about this? Good grief is there anything that can be talked about?

Dont be silly. He pulled a couple of faces. He’s four years old in a totally unnatural setting. Bet Queen wasn’t horrified at all

The OPs thread was actually quite nasty and rightly deleted.

It's good. Made me smile anyway.......

OK if you think it’s absolutely fine, that’s what a forum is for! Otherwise if everybody agreed there would be no debate. I gave you my opinion without any unpleasantness. I never got to read the original thread.

I hope I don’t get platty joobs, it sounds like a most distressing condition. Are they contagious?
