The number of pages reflects your settings.
I only have five pages NanaDana

Agatha Christie's play, "The Mouse Trap" is the world's longest continuously (almost) running fictional crime drama, and was first staged in 1952. Is this thread aiming to compete with it? 18 pages so far! Mind you, I don't think we need a Detective Sergeant Trotter or even a Miss Marple to establish who the main suspects are in this case, and what their painfully obvious motives were. Alternative titles in this latest "drama"? A Storm in a Teacup? Much Ado About Nothing? Oh What A Tangled Web we Weave? A Fairy Tale of New York? That'll do me . Exit, stage left..

I am neither team Sussexes or team Edinburghs.

I am though aware of the traffic system and conditions where this chase took place. NY cabbies do not move off unless you have your seatbelt on, including Ubers. Manhattans traffic is gridlocked more hours than it is free flowing, even then it’s at a crawl.

If you do not want the paparazzi to follow you in the car they see you getting into, do not leave by the front entrance in full glare of the press pack, simples…

No, Mary, just certain threads…

Deserve everything I get, do I? I don't know what you get. I do think you're very good at dishing criticism and personal remarks out, but a tad sensitive when it's returned.
I stand by my comment that it's standard for you to post something and when challenged just to do a Ah forget it. You have no idea. type post. Bridges and jumpers comes to mind. We see you.

Oh Dear God.

This has to be one of the hardest websites to workout. Therefore I am unsubscribing.

I thought that you’d already gone?

To be fair, all threads on GN are not like this.

This is the kind of people the anti-M&H types are, and those who side with them are cut from the same cloth.
Is this all thus clique stuff? Count me out. I am my own person. I did not attack anyone.

Did someone mention bikini and heat? I'm up for it!

Oh another thought. Just curious, but I wonder who was looking after the children. Maybe they were with the friends whose place they were staying at.

Not wearing seatbelts, not expecting paparazzi to be around when Meghan had been given a high profile award was rather foolish.

As another poster said, the only three people the children know as family were together in one car.
This all happening with no seatbelts on in a "mad chase" through the streets of traffic-bound Manhattan, some of it in an ordinary cab with an unknown driver.

Harry should have known better from experience.

This thread is to discuss H & M not a poster,

^Personal attacks from all sides^ none even close to that nasty personal attack you made on maddyone that GN deleted.

Deserve everything I get, do I?

Like the Markle woman and her pet prince? (that's satire, BTW. Not very good satire, but satire nonetheless)

What do you mean volver? I’m not sure I understand.

I mean that there are a lot of posters on here that say the most disgusting things about, in this case M&H; how they set it all up, how they deserve everything they get, and so on.

And others who join in saying less contentious things but think its OK to make up the most outrageous things about people because they put 2 and 2 together to make 5, so it must be true.

Look at some of the comments on this page, which I'll not be answering, because they are puerile. This is the kind of people the anti-M&H types are, and those who side with them are cut from the same cloth.

There is probably some truth in there but like all stories there is always some distortion especially from the press. It appears H&M didn’t want their destination revealed to protect the privacy of the friends they were staying with. Maybe they weren’t chased as such but Harry is paranoid about the press following the tragic death of his mother and this incident could easily have sparked a serious mental reaction. If you have ever been in a car crash you instinctively duck and flinch when back in a car and another comes towards you, for sometime afterwards. I doubt Meghan or mum experienced quite the same horror as Harry. Now they seem to be using the incident for publicity purpose.

But he wasn't in the car with his mother

As I posted earlier, people have flashbacks when they have been through a traumatic experience themselves and they feel they are in the same situation again.
You are reliving your own lived experience.

I think this thread has run its course. I need to get ready to go out. 👋

maddyone Sat 20-May-23 10:54:34

VS absolutely no one would want to see me in a bikini! The photographer would need to pay someone to take the photo away.

Now, that's enough. (Not directed at Glorianny) Personal attacks from all sides, about me and how I post.

Well whatever your motivation is, it's not working.

You can all carry on feigning shock about how the papps operate, but we see you.

Getting a bit hot in the kitchen, is it?

We can all sunbathe in our gardens and a nutter scaling a wall with a camera would be rightfully arrested but if you are a celebrity your bikini laden self is acceptable front page news
