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

Celebrity silliness = millions of dollars- Even during a pandemic, cash rolls in hand over fist- From memoirs to whiskey to candles that smell like vagina- As if they didnt have enough money to last 5 lifetimes prior, they're tapping people for even more during such vulnerable times- Cant even begin to express how inhumane it is, that all these so called politically woke philanthropists dont even think twice about reaching into peoples pockets during a pamdemic- But at the same time people are dumb enough to be so star struck that they are willing- This may not be Harry's shtick, but it's Hollywood's-

Harry et al are perfectly entitled to voice all the twaddle they like in the privacy of their own home and no one has the right to criticise or comment on that because it's private. But as soon as he makes his twaddle talk opinions public, we are all entitled to criticise, give an opinion on it, discuss it or ignore it.

Perhaps you'd like to have a go at Greta Thunberg next? Why? What does she remotely have in common with Harry?

I'm also always talking to my plants. I'd rather talk to them than people sometimes.

I have always talked to plants, even give them names, christian
names not plant names .

I think he's smoking some of that california legal recreational stuff.
?

At the risk of being branded misogynist I suppose the more Harry sounds like he's still in primary school, the more intelligent and worldly wise Meghan comes across.

I doubt it would suit her to be married to a man who is educated in environmental issues and climate change. She would risk being overshadowed and that would never do.

I knew someone would come up with that! Congratulations Callistemon the point is that it was widely lampooned in the media once. Now everyone claims to be in on it!

I do remember and thought at the time 'I do that' but I'm not always complimentary to the plants.

Our weigela has been wonderful this year, annodomini.

Harry is an overprivileged individual, used to having people listen to what he says by virtue of his birth, not his intelligence.

What he forgets is that his previous public utterances were generally prepared with help from people who wrote good English and knew how to compose a speech; the one he has just made, and I listened to it, is rambling drivel.

Prince Charles' work on the environment, derided at the time, is now applauded. Harry was not raised in a cesspit.

In my last garden I had a weigela which, despite looking stron and healthy, refused to flower. I told it that if it didn't flower one summer, I'd dig it up. It flowered and I didn't get much benefit from it as I moved in the autumn.

If you don’t like this couple just stop being so interested in everything they say
I'm interested because the language and the imagery people use to express themselves fascinates me. Urmstongran did put it under "Chat" after all.

I tucked up some plants for the winter today. I always whisper, 'See you next Spring'

I thought everyone talked to their plants
I do.
(whispers that very quietly in case anyone thinks I'm wafty too.)

His father talks to plants (remember when he was the one everyone took the piss out of?)

Actually, a study by the RHS proved that this is beneficial to plants.
I didn't work on our blue hydrangea though, when I threatened it with the compost heap if it didn't perform.

Greta practises what she preaches.
People can say what they like but she is not a hypocrite.

He's a rather over privileged individual who was raised to think he was of vital importance. He comes from a family who believe they are somehow special. His father talks to plants (remember when he was the one everyone took the piss out of?). He has had the grace to remove himself from the absolute cess pit he was raised in. Leave him alone. Is it philosophical gold? of course it's not, but it's no more irrational and irrelevant than the stuff the rest of his family spout.

Greta Thunberg is remarkable though, imho.

Harry and Lily - not so much.

Harry gave an impassioned speech to mark the launch of a new Netflix-style platform for environmental and conservation documentaries.

I suppose he always knew he'd have to sing for his supper one day.

I wonder what they have lined up for him next?

As Merlot so rightly pointed out Trump has been known to spout a load of crap, and I rather think that when Trumpisms have been mulled over and ridiculed on this site defenders of his very own brand of bullshit would be pretty thin on the ground . Bogus nonsense isn't his preserve though, and I guess it depends where the person doing the spouting is lined up on the spectrum of approval among public figures.

In a typical rainstorm in 5 minutes on one square mile:

^One square mile is 4014489600 square inches, so we end up with 4014489600 cubic inches of rain, or 17378700 gallons. There are 90,921 drops of water in one gallon, so multiplying all together... Roughly 1,580,088,782,700 drops of water will fall. Or about 1 1/2 trillion drops.

Haha they do so Callistemon

It’s not nasty.
It’s just that he sounds so silly.
My son is 28 and I’d say the same to him if he spouted such nonsense.
And yes he should live in Wales. We have raindrops to spare.

Irony.

Probably the same as we do Lucretzia.

That was in reply to Rosalyn

They don't plop on the parched ground in Wales either, they tend to band together and flood people's homes.
