Boris and Carrie are having another baby.
I bet that's made everyone's day. smile

Ellianne Sat 31-Jul-21 21:27:02

I think Boris wears handbags better than Rod. But Rod wears gladrags better.

MissAdventure Sat 31-Jul-21 21:16:09

I must say, Rod wears it well.
He has grown on me.
Not literally, of course.

Calendargirl Sat 31-Jul-21 21:12:55

Well, Rod looks rather short when standing next to his statuesque wife. Or maybe like many in his mid 70’s, he’s shrinking.

MissAdventure Sat 31-Jul-21 21:12:19

It's quite short if he's a dark man in his 50s.

Zoejory Sat 31-Jul-21 21:10:43

Is 5ft 9 short? I suppose it is. My other half is 5ft 9. I shall not tell him he's short.

Rod Stewart is 5’10” only 1” taller than Mr.Johnson…

His hair is slightly taller though, I think?
Except on a windy day.

Nobody knows how many Johnson has got ... he probably does not know himself.

Ellianne Sat 31-Jul-21 20:58:53

And not blonde.

MissAdventure Sat 31-Jul-21 20:57:58

I think Mick and Rod are tall, though.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sat 31-Jul-21 20:53:02

So. Baby no. 8 is on the way. BJ will be equal with Mick Jagger (or does he have 9 now) and Rod Stewart.

MissAdventure Sat 31-Jul-21 20:52:53

For Boris...

hander = handler oops!

Ellianne Sat 31-Jul-21 20:51:09

Didn't Boris tell a police dog hander this week that Dilyn couldn't control his "romantic urges"?
Apparently, he has just had Dilyn castrated. grin

Calistemon one of our very good friends is Thai, her recipes are brilliant, easy to follow and idiot proof according to AC grin

Well, if this baby is Boris’ seventh or eighth child, he’s obviously not short in departments where it matters.

???
Red wine sputtered over my tablet.

I blame you, Calendargirl

MissAdventure Sat 31-Jul-21 20:46:30

A veritable pocket rocket.

Yes, all my fruit pairing children are blonde, blue eyed and over 6ft 4

It's really odd, we have produced tall children, one redhead, one dark and one blonde.

My brother blamed the milkman.

whilst preparing a Thai green curry from scratch…
I am very impressed GrannyGravy!

Calendargirl Sat 31-Jul-21 20:42:01

JaneJudge

It's a shame they are both so short

Why?

Is it a problem that our PM and his wife are not 6 footers?

Callistemon Sat 31-Jul-21 20:39:51

he is 5ft 8, that is quite small for a blonde man in his 50s

So would it be considered average for a dark-haired, red-haired or bald man in his 50s?

Is it only blond men who are supposed to be tall?

Whatever happened to tall, dark and handsome?
Oh, just realised, he's greyish, balding and shrunk a bit.
Dear DH!
And asleep grin

Callistemon Sat 31-Jul-21 20:36:07

GrannyGravy13

Oops premature posting…

I am 5’2” so I do not consider the Johnsons to be short, more like average height.

I'm really concerned now

I'm sure I used to be 5'5" but DGD1 has overtaken me and she is 5'3 and a half, apparently.
Probably 5'4" next time I see her, she seems to be growing exponentially at the moment.

But there are threads and threads of nasty comments about Meghan and Harry sparklefizz
I just think he should stop making babies and concentrate on being a prime minister

I don't recall anyone making unpleasant comments about Harry's and Meghan's looks and their babies.

It's unpleasant in my view.
