M & H isn't my specialist subject either Devorgilla but you're right. The Archie seatbelt comment was name by Harry, not in Spare, but in one of the Netflix documentaries. I remember he said Archie told him to strap him in his chair on the way to nursery every day.
I have a very good memory as to who said what when!

Having looked at it again I am not sure it is 'real' but I'll let others decide for themselves. I feel it probably did happen and I vaguely remember comment ages ago but remembering stuff about M&H is not my priority.

I'm not sure that is real either. It says the car is moving but the trees behind are in focus. She also seems to be sitting in a very strange position for anyone in a moving car. Obviously posed I think.
The video did amuse me. Bloke with such an establishment voice!

You have gone way beyond acceptability there Callistemon, sultanas sad

😁😁😁

I've stopped buying bananas Galaxy, I really dislike ripe bananas, there are always a couple left and DH asks hopefully "Will you be making a banana cake (with sultanas of course!)"

Give me lemon drizzle any day! No sultanas 😀

As they had literally just got into the cab, we have no idea whether or not they put their seatbelts on - it was stationary at the time. Wondering why the paps who chased them won't release the photos they took - it would clear a few things up. God, this thread has deteriorated badly since I last posted 13 pages ago - meant to come back earlier but got sidetracked. Half of it is now taken up by personal insults and who said what to who, allegedly. Come on ladies, at our age we should be better than this.

Fasten Your SEATBELT! Harry Ticks Meghan Off As TW Risks Archie’s Life In A Car - History REPEATS
If you type in this it comes up.

Anniebach, I haven't read 'Spare' so I don't know if he also mentions the events there. I googled Archie/seatbelts kind of query and a Youtube one came up re the hissy fit. The other I think was mentioned on TV at some stage. I think A was about 2years at the time. It's why I find them not belting up so strange. I'll try to find the Youtube one and post.

I think reddit would definitely ban any supremacist group thankfully

Anniebach Sun 21-May-23 16:33:41

Devorgilla was the two seatbelt events in Harry’s book ?

Mollygo Sun 21-May-23 16:29:22

It was women who were intelligent and capable and stood up for what was right in the world.
It still is, and they still do, protecting females and challenging misogyny wherever they find it.

Devorgilla Sun 21-May-23 16:26:46

I was enjoying reading the take on the 'Great Chase' across Manhattan by all the posters. I was about to comment about 3 pages back but it had started to descend into a 'he said, she said, they said, everyone said, nobody said' type slanging match among posters. Fun in itself to observe. I will post my comment on H&M re seatbelts.
I seem to recall two instances:
One, where H had a hissy fit at M for travelling with Archie in a moving vehicle without a seat belt on or the child restrained in a car seat;
Two, when he (I think) was about to drive off and Archie told him to belt up or whatever the US equivalent is. I seem to remember H taking this to mean A knew what had happened to his paternal grandmother and didn't want it to happen to Dad.
Perhaps your memories are sharper than mine.
I do enjoy reading the threads/posts on GN although I rarely post, mainly because someone else has got there first with an observation. Never because I feel insulted by a post challenging my view. But then I earned my spurs in very tough London schools.

Never mind I found it, it's not hilarious no wonder it's not allowed on mumsnet

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 16:10:44

I stick to reading topics about my hobbies there

Never had any problems

They banned incel groups too for hate speech against women so can't be all that bad

I don't understand the MN trolls thing? Explain more

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:56:48

Reddit is absolutely awful generally. There is a hilarious MN group on it who were chucked off MN because they troll hunted. They fight all the time and keep getting banned.

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 15:53:16

Hate speech was the problem there I think

The groups were attracting a lot of hatred for trans people and were not being moderated well

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:50:28

I know that would be an interesting legal challenge now.

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 15:49:37

Many platforms like reddit do not allow GC groups

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:46:56

I cant even be bothered to finish the sentence, it's too hot.

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:45:59

MN is known as a coven of witches because it is the the epicentre of GC thought. We do all our plotting there and are very v

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 15:33:57

Women have worked for a long time to claim derogatory terms as their own

We absolutely know who was called a witch back in the old days and silenced by any means necessary, stoned or drowned or burned.

It was women who were intelligent and capable and stood up for what was right in the world.

So no, it's no longer a negative to many of us

Jesus H. There has to be a better way to spend Sunday than reading this..covens and cliques. It’s childish.
Going back to the garden room with an ice cream.

I've tidied my garden pots, just admiring the empty ones.
I might have to find another hobby. 🙂

Witches were the very opposite of cool were they not ?

😁

Very good, Anniebach

Callistemon21 Sun 21-May-23 15:27:30

The sparrows are very bold today, one just hopped right near my foot.

That sounds like a line from 'Allo 'Allo

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:26:53

That was quick Annie smile
