‘What if every single one of us was a raindrop?’ Oh Harry!

I actually though he had come to his senses and given up preaching to us about saving the planet, especially considering the way he lives. But, no, he doesn't seem to have a clue at how ridiculous he sounds, I would laugh at him, only he annoys me too much these days.

Well this is a nasty little thread.

Well this is a nasty little thread.

I think it's rather amusing actually!

Presumably, if everyone one of us is a rainbow we'd all be "wet" speak for yourself Harry you sure have absorbed all the worst of that style of west coast psycho babble flowers for your hair!

Ellianne Tue 01-Dec-20 14:26:26

Shouldn't it be "were a raindrop"?

lemsip Tue 01-Dec-20 14:26:30

Unfortunately when Harry opens his mouth Meghan's words come out!!

MayBee70 Tue 01-Dec-20 14:38:46

I’ve just remembered how much I enjoyed reading Sue Townsend’s ‘The Queen and I’.

Summerlove Tue 01-Dec-20 14:45:07

Am I alone and thinking this is probably who he always was? It’s just his wife isn’t forcing him to toe the party line

Well this is a nasty little thread.

Just another excuse to put down his wife.

There is a difference though between the new Harry spouting childish and hypocritical nonsense and the Harry who appeared on Strictly via video link, wishing his old army pal JJ Good Luck.

I know which one I believe to be genuine.

timetogo2016 Tue 01-Dec-20 14:55:04

I didn`t realise drips could get wet.
Hey ho.

petra Tue 01-Dec-20 14:55:41

Thank god he hasn't got a brain, he'd be dangerous.
He's so thick he doesn't realise that he lives in a mega property that's built using the most dangerous material to the planet: Concrete ?

Being in nature is the most healing part of life, I truly believe that's one reason why it's there.

What does this actually mean? What's he rabbiting on about?

FannyCornforth Tue 01-Dec-20 14:59:26

That's very 'humancentric' isn't it?

Feelingmyage55 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:07:21

I thought it was a spoof report at first. Sigh.

Feelingmyage55 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:13:47

I’ve gone back to read the thread.
grannywannynanny. Not children’s books maybe verses for cheesy greetings cards?

Feelingmyage55 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:16:33

avalon/smileless. We could have a thread
“what’s the difference between a raindrop and a drip’ and which came first? A bit like the chicken/egg/nature/nurture discussions. ???

Feelingmyage55 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:22:59

Alegrieas2. I think we are all a bit sad because he seemed to be carving a very worthwhile niche initiating the Invictis Games and working to benefit the physical and mental health of the forces. When he appeared on Strictly last week he was absolutely lovely, looked happy and spoke from the heart, quite delightful I thought.

Very true.
What does Harry do all day.? So much could have been achieved following his military career and the valuable work carried out following that. Marriage and children do not stop you carrying on with that work, thousands do.

Cherrytree59 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:31:27

Well poor lamb he is trying.
very trying

Callistemon Tue 01-Dec-20 15:36:22

There's a children's book called Harry and the Raindrop, perhaps he bought it for Archie and got inspiration from that.

"Every single raindrop that falls from the sky relieves the parched ground. What if every single one of us was a raindrop, and if every single one of us cared?"

Well, we'd all go splat and evaporate. End of humankind, survival of nature.

Alegrias2 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:39:23

Well if this were true Feelingmyage55 , why are there people calling him a drip, a hypocrite, a snowflake, and to top it all, "a good man ruined"? Why are people commenting on what he said, without having heard the whole interview (it wasn't a speech, as mentioned by some)

He still works on the Invictus Games, which didn't happen this year due to coronavirus.

It's a excuse for misogyny, xenophobia, dislike of the environmental agenda and jealousy of the rich. And it is very nasty.

Callistemon Tue 01-Dec-20 15:39:42

Alegrias2

Well this is a nasty little thread.

No, it isn't.

It's the reaction of down-to-earth people to the utterings of someone who has become wafty in his middle years.

Cherrytree59 Tue 01-Dec-20 15:40:50

Or perhaps he's been looking longingly at the 'snap' taken of him and Meghan dressed in blue under the umbrella on their last visit to the UK.☔

Lucretzia Tue 01-Dec-20 15:47:00

Good grief, Alegrias2!

It's a excuse for misogyny, xenophobia, dislike of the environmental agenda and jealousy of the rich

Absolute balderdash.

I think most of us on this thread are well aware of Harry's lifestyle.

And it's not doing anything for the environmental agenda

Are you aware that water is somewhat of a precious commodity in California? They had a drought for about 4 or 5 years recently

Do you think Harry's beautiful grounds are natural? Have you any idea how much water that place must waste?

If they are going to berate people they need to look to themselves first.

I have no issue with his wife. He's a grown man. He isn't being held there against his will.

But he is hypocritical.

Don't think anyone can deny that

eazybee Tue 01-Dec-20 15:47:03

Xenophobia?
Please explain.
