Duke of Edinburgh admitted to hospital.

I just find the hatred beyond understanding

As well as a load of codswallop.

This is utterly utterly utterly disgusting

for 2nd paragraph

Indeed.

Good grief.

Possibly because of security

I m sure it will be a totally pain free end Gill
I do wonder why the Queen wouldn’t be at his side I m sure she wouldn t be offered a dining room chair to sit on I m sure they would put her up in a royal suite with three course meals but she could be by his side in his last days if they are his last days

Yes NellG I totally understand and agree. Just find it interesting.

I doubt anyone is praying for him to have a long life,

LauraNorder - Tis human nature. Arguments need provocations - the other thread is mostly quite sweet people yapping about socks. Sensibilities need to be offended before true ire can come into play. Those who felt the need expressed their feelings re PP. That the subject changed isn't really a lack of respect for him in my mind, just a progression. Trying to confine arguments to single, legit threads is pretty much like trying to knit water and herd cats. A noble effort, but doomed to fail.

It just all goes a bit wrong when people get personal with other posters. Which is a shame because on the whole I think most of us are fairly decent people - we just have different opinions and life experiences.

I do not know the DofE, have never met him, but wish him well as I would anyone of 99 who has been admitted to hospital. But, let's be realistic, he is 99, and no amount of praying can alter that fact. I think he is nearing the end, and hope it is peaceful and painless. I will then brace myself for the tabloid press and their supporters to use his death as yet another stick to beat H&M.

Very interesting that there is a thread about a very old man possibly suffering and probably nearing the end of his life and an argument ensues.
There is a thread that practically begs us to argue and it is one of the most amicable threads in recent times.
Weird

That's an alternative choice. Are you trying to sink the royal family or put the boot in?

Just popped out to Tesco - thought some might need a Chamomile tea instead. Whole smorgasbord of popcorn flavours, help yourselves.

I shall be offering a cinema evening on the night of the Oprah interview as alternative viewing - the whole of Das Boot, in German, no subtitles. I think some might find it preferable viewing. Hair shirts will be provided for free. Bring your own bed of nails.

Does he need tell the world ? And if reports are true Megan will speak in the first half about her experiences and Harry
will join her for the second half to speak of his future plans. We shall have to wait .

He has said why he made the decision to leave the uk, has made several speeches as to why.

None of us know what actually goes on behind anyone’s front door(s).

We have a media desperate to grab the headlines, whether they be in print, internet or television which are often full of supposition and whataboutery.

I think I understand why Harry’s chose to be interviewed by Oprah, perhaps he feels that this is the only way he can get across how he feels and why he has made certain decisions lately.

Just a thought - should this thread move into the Arguments one? ?
NellG do you have butter toffee popcorn, please?

If people make up stuff in their minds and post it as true, then I feel I have to say something.

Do keep up NellG. No sugar for me, thanks.

Dictionary definition of the word Opinion - a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Therefore, something that people 'make up' in their minds.

Popcorn anyone? Cup of tea? Quick nip to the loo in the intermission?

ok

OK if you want to be picky ....... I meant of mine Alegrias as the challenge referred to the 17 posts under Ellianne. It was all first person.
