Phew! That's sorted then. Putin will withdraw.

Especially the Devonshire’s living in Derbyshire

get over yourself!

Yes, sorry.

(Not sorry.)

Please keep right on with your hating. Don't let me stop you.

What I don't understand is why they are called the Cambridge's but don't live in Cambridge. Likewise the Sussex's and York and so on and so forth. Weren't they historically given those titles because they lived there? None of them seem to live where their titles are

volver Fri 25-Feb-22 11:41:27

Yes, quite.

Just a bit of fun, innit?

FannyCornforth Fri 25-Feb-22 11:40:47

Oh, I don’t know, volver, I don’t really give things like this a great deal of thought.

I’m a bit flippant, I suppose

I wish there was a flippant emoji.
I will have a little look…

Your are honest by admitting you are being mean to other posters volver , it was obvious anyway

Ohh, are there people who post here who hero worship the Cambridges?

Well I never.

Yes, yes I do know that volver
I have quite a decent education smile

I'm sure you do Fanny, no sarcasm intended.

Which is why I find it weird that you would joke about the masses being manipulated to hate people who the ruling class have decided are persona non grata.

going to move there then? no I didn't think so.

Puckeridge, Jane?

this is the advert so no, unfortunately I cannot afford to! it is by somewhere called Buntingford

volver Fri 25-Feb-22 11:33:14

volver when defending Meghan and Harry, why do you respond with the St William and St Kate jibe? It really isn't their fault when people criticise the Sussexes. Incidentally her name is Catherine.

Oh yes, I forgot, we're only allowed to be mean about M&H. And of course I'm not being mean about the Cambridges, I'm being mean about the people who hero worship them.

Why am I not allowed to call her Kate? Plenty other people do.

I hadn't given it much thought until Blossoming suggested it

‘Seriously?’ you ask volver

No, not really.

Well yes, yes it is serious.

Two Minutes Hate. In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), by George Orwell, the Two Minutes Hate is the daily, public period during which members of the Outer Party of Oceania must watch a film depicting the enemies of the state, ... to openly and loudly express hatred for them.

And the word hatred has been used about M&H recently, on this board.

Blossoming Fri 25-Feb-22 11:23:16

What? You’re moving to Slough Janejudge?

JaneJudge Fri 25-Feb-22 11:21:54

Meanwhile Boris is waiting for Sue Grey

I'm going to hell as I did proper laugh blush

Blossoming Fri 25-Feb-22 11:16:33

What’s wrong with saying they stand with Ukraine? I’d be more bothered if they said they support Putin.

Well, I guess it give an excuse for yet another H&M bashing thread …

FannyCornforth Fri 25-Feb-22 11:16:14

Ah. I see that it’s now officially a good old fashioned RF Argument Thread
We always need one on the go!

Freya5 Fri 25-Feb-22 11:16:09

Im sure all decent minded people are horrified at what is happening in the Ukraine, including our Queen. Some people say it outloud, some don’t. We don’t know wether she has spoken to / messaged the Ukranian Gov leader.

Yeah, I suppose we are being a bunch of meanies trisher
But we enjoy itsmile

You have given the game away FannyCornforth you are supposed to pretend you have higher minded reasons for these threads.

It’s pretty harmless though;
leave us to our two minutes hate!

Seriously?

Are we in an adaption of 1984?

Today, of all days?
