as the duchess of cambridge is rushed to hospital...

Yeh. Turkey didn't exist at that point, nor indeed for hundreds of years afterwards, so making out his dad was a turk is just stupid.

The proto-Turks (and that's stretching the link) were largeing it up somewhere north west of China in those days. Anatolia was quite a mixed bag if that's where they mean.

the doll that flagman is holding is a bit creepy as well

Not half as fucking creepy as flagman himself

Didn’t know they’d had a second ffs. Was that also a boy?

No civil list unless she can prove she was raped, isn’t that the rule now Tories?

Somebody at my work came out with that line today.

Fair point which I hadn't really thought about but by the same token if it pisses of the little englanders which is what I think it's meant to do, that's fine with me.

When the alarm came on this morning it was to an advert by the Daily Mail that they had all the latest developments on the Royal Baby (I could almost hear the caps).
What developments?, he's a day old, he eats, he sleeps and he shits. That's all mine did for the first few months and when my daughter had my grandson last year she assured me that there had been no sudden leaps in human evolution.
I have no particular down on Kate and her son but this fawning is ridiculous.

So does the civil list cover third child?

Yeh, in £50 notes. Wonder if there'll be enough to smother it

 

[Humirax]

Stop ripping other people off Pickman

Thats a class war slogan, can't you come up with something in your own words? Tut tut tut.

 

[Humirax]

I mean really. Just re -posting someone else's slogan, how original!

Yeh. I was in class war for many, many years, not to mention the movement against the monarchy

Smothering parasites in £50 notes is not a cw slogan

Anyway, surely we should be using something cheaper and keeping the fifties to help fund the revolution/transport to S Georgia?

Sorry about the link, but Crystal Palace joke Royal baby is named after the club as Kate Middleton gives birth

 

[eatmorecheese]

I love all this. The crowds with their flags and bunting, the media scrum, the simple comments of loyalty and affection for the Windsor family.

Makes me so fucking proud to be a republican.

The people in the video in that link are a lot less disruptive than the clowns outside Alder Hey but just as weird, did that woman really say she had been camping there for 13 days waiting for a woman she doesn't know to have a baby? did she think someone would come out and tell her, maybe let her in to see the kid? If she is really interested what is wrong with checking the telly occasionally?

Dear Queen, Fuck Off.

Royalty really do attract weird obsessive fans. Very odd.

Yes. Whilst I don't have any sympathy it must be very weird having to thank and show appreciation for exactly the sort of people you'd want nowhere near your new baby. Weirdo obsessives with a very odd sense of ownership.

 

[dessiato]

I cannot understand any of this obsession, but I do wonder if there aren't some parallels with the way some of us are commenting here.

Making passing comments on a message board whilst waiting to go home from work versus camping out on pavement for days on end in full costume just to possibly get a brief glimpse of a baby?

Yes I can see where you're going with this.

I suppose it was you who came up with the slogan

How childish. You know exactly what I'm talking about Pickman's.

don't drag beefs across threads like this, it only reinforces the impression you give of being a numpty.

They're not likely to attract rational, well adjusted fans are they? Have you fucking seen them?
