When youngest D was about 4 she described octopuses (sp?) as having "long testicles"

oh, for goodness sake, why are we back on that!

why not start a new thread on the word 'tentacle' and do it to death!

Callistemon

Asking for dated reference of something you wrote and subsequently attributed to another is not criticism Callistemon.

Its a perfectly reasonable request.

You've made it clear to anyone who wants to see that you cannot provide that reference.

I rest my case.

Tentacle
Are you likening Harry to an octopus?

One tentacle still clinging on to prestige and money, seven others waving around looking for a secure foothold somewhere?

Poor Harry, that's not a kind analogy.

Sp - Apologies.

Anyway, Joseanne has explained more about cephalods so I have more understanding now.

Thank you Joseanmne 🙂

Actually, the Australian expression is:
"Pull your head in"

But you'd probably report that.

Harry’s tentacle is his branch on the family tree, bloodline. Go ahead and make fun - that can’t be erased

It was the use of the word tentacle that was amusing, Gundy

Harry is a human not an octopus.

Tentacles. Oh, I thought we were back to Disney stuff again.

Actually, Faye, I did use the quotes which denote it is a quote from another poster but when it is re-quoted the ^^ do not seem to work.

Yo use a polite Australian expression , please could you desist from criticising me.

Thank you.

@Faye17
You asked who used this term and when

Quote Gundy Fri 10-Mar-23 18:11:58

Harry chose freedom, but he’s also still a tentacle - therefore he’s looking out for his children. Give the little tykes a break. You just don’t get it that part.
Longing for more graciousness.

Grammy Grammy, what world do you live in?

The days of the Home Secretary bring present at the birth of royal children ended in 1926, after the Queen was born. Theresa May, Home Secretary, when Prince George was born confirmed that the convention had firmly been left in the past.

The Duchess of Sussex would have had medical care thoughout her pregnancies and medical attendants present at the birth, all of whom can confirm both pregnancies and birth.

Royalty, like anyone else can call their children what they like, although they have tended to stick to more traditional names. However Princess Anne has grandchildren called Lena, Lucas, Mia, Savannah and as more of the late Queen's grandchildren marry I expect they too will also choose less traditional names.

Maw funnily enough, there are various reports that William and Kate’s son George was known as Archie at home

Which George do you mean Grammygrammy ?
Nothing about those two children is royal or right. Archie was the name used by George at home

George VI was Bertie, (Edward VIII, David. )

GrammyGrammy

Nothing about those two children is royal or right. Archie was the name used by George at home. And middle name 'Harrison- Harry's son- pathetic. Lilibet was the private nickname used by the late queen and her husband. Neither birth was attested to that it was formally witnessed to prove it was natural from Markle's own body. Therefore neither child, if they exist are princess or prince nor are they in the royal succession. This 'going along with' the lying traitors will bring down the whole monarchy, I fear. Deception is not ok. And deception is what the dreadful duo do on a daily basis.

What absolute rubbish...

Some rather cruel thoughts here I thinkGrammyGrammy

Callistemon

It was you who interpreted Gundy's use of the word tentacle as referencing an octopus.

It was you who made the link from octopus to Harry.

Nowhere in the post of yours did you attribute any part of it to another either by the use of inverted commas or a named reference.

Please post timed reference including name of what you now so vehemently claim to be the words of another.

fluff news
Sorry, its Saturday wine o'clock 🍷
But did anyone notice how fluffy Harry's hair had gone in his last interview?

Casdon It would be fair to say that views expressed in some of the more extreme messages on Gransnet aren’t shared by the majority of other people in the country - and I’d guess many others neither know or care.

To Gundy, I suppose. ^^

Indeed. Many are neutral. Just interesting "fluff news".

Thought Harry wanted to be in a family - not an institution!!

How clever Calistemon -
'One tentacle still clinging on to prestige and money, seven others waving around looking for a secure foothold somewhere'

British empire in a nutshell

No offence intended to squirrels
Brown or red

I didn't say that, Faye17!! It was another poster not me.

In fact I disagreed with it as I said that Harry is a human being not an octopus.

READ MY POST PLEASE

It was Gundy of the USA who said it and I quoted her/his post.

Poor Harry, that's not a kind analogy.

I didn't say that

I've already explained that I didn't say that in another post.

I quoted someone else.

re the word 'tentacles' used in other ways .

Change, change, change, in the way we work and the way we live—that was the overriding theme of Metropolis’s Think Tank titled “The Far-Reaching ... Tentacles of Work.” The event was hosted by SmithGroup Los Angeles and moderated by Sam Lubell, executive editor of Metropolis.

used in family trees also!

Callistemon wrote the final sentence.

I can’t see who wrote the original post that she quoted

FayeCallistemon didn’t say that. It was wrong attributed to her
