Kate & Wills are having a baby.

[ViolentPanda]

How the fuck should I know what my point is?! I'm just saying stuff!

As any true Brit would...

Ah, there's your problem. You believe there's such a thing as a "true Brit"!!!

all round?

if we kill all those in line we could have a baby on the throne and manipulate it into doing whatever we wanted

I'm glad they published the open letter from Kirsty Allsop to the Duchess of Cambridge, I was surprised and delighted to see that Kirsty recommended that early in pregnancy one should go easy on oneself. Eat simple foods and let your husband take care of you.

One of the paper reviewers on Sky last night was taking the piss out of Allsop's article. Even his co-presenter, that under-talented, over-botoxed, royal sychophant Carol McGiffin had to agree.

You really don't get dylans rant at all do you? Nor do you get why it's getting 'liked' here.

It's not just any average couple and baby is it?. A normal, non-aristo couple on average income or less, and lacking any particular privileges, wouldn't have a vilely sycophantic shitestorm of media worship, hype and trivia sprayed all over them in nauseatingly arselicking Mail/Sun/etc headlines and BBC Witchellisms for months on end would they?

You like tacky kitch cups and mugs and all that malarkey it seems,. so you're scarcely very objective. No-one's trying to 'ban' you from liking royalty and all that, but at least make some effort to understand what's motivating the discerning minority who don't share your arselicking ... I mean perspective


Just getting pointlessly pissed off with us lamp-post measurers will get you nowhere ...

'Tacky Kitch'? I'll have you know that some of that porcelain will, in a about a hundred years, be some of the most treasured possessions in 'Cash in the attic'. I'm just trying to represent the will of the people, it's called free speech in case you were too stoned to realise. Commies like you should wake up and smell the beverage. The Royal family, love 'em or hate 'em are with us to stay. Unless you're suggesting some kind of ....I'm not even going to say it. Anyway this isn't about you, your lamp post measurer, commie mates and it's not about me. It's about a baby, a royal baby, well a royal foetus really and well oh fuck it! I'm really upset now. And that 'dylans' fella should be fucking ashamed and so should you. Scum. That's it. God save our gracious, noble, foetus.

'Commies'

'Scum'

My post yesterday was at least in part facetious .... yours however ....

That's paedo talk.

Geezus.... http://www.news.com.au/national/day-fm-duo-impersonate-queen/story-fndo4bst-1226530546575

The receptionist who answered the phonecall is dead (according to the internet and The Daily Mail).

 

[The Octagon]

Suspected suicide apparently.

[Yelkcub]

Fuck! Missus just pinged me a link!

 

[scifisam]

Bloody hell. The Royals are such a soap opera.

 

[bi0boy]

Does this mean the sprog is now cursed? A shadow cast upon it, it will be forever beset by bad fortune. What's next in the saga of this ill-fated royal child? I bet either the queen or philip expires before it's born.

Story taken up by Channel 4 too.

This just took a very horrendous sharp turn

Currently you can get 54:1 on Betfair that the baby will be named Madeleine

Better odds than Jacintha i'd say.

Cue 5 pages of people saying "I don't care/they're all parasites".

Here is one person who won't say that. While I agree the British royal family has its troubles, I think the country is damn lucky to have it. I'll tell you this -- if it weren't for the Royals, the vast majority of Americans would take their European holidays flying straight to Paris, and I dare say the situation is similar with a lot of other countries.

Most republics around the world have an elected Head of State (generally called "President") and an indirectly elected Head of Government ("Prime Minister), and because both can claim popular mandate, they often work against each other. By having a figure who has no popular mandate but instead a traditional role and no political power to speak of, the situation when there is a constitutional crisis can be handled much better. (I think of the king's role in the recent Thai disturbances). Britain is not likely to have a Thai-like situation nowadays, but it don't hurt.

No they wouldn't, they don't speak English in Paris.

 

[Frank Merton]

No they wouldn't, they don't speak English in Paris.

You've no idea what the Parisians will do for money. England is simply boring without the royals. Of course they might stop over in London on their way to Scotland.

 

[5t3IIa]

Bump. It's a day late, apparently.

 

[Yelkcub]

Someone done the no fucks given thing? That.

 

[5t3IIa]

I kinda honestly had no clue this was going on apart from the preggers announcement outlined in the OP but she really is due this week.... It's 'interesting' to stand aloof, watching the fuss, becuase I'm better than everyone who cares.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh come on, it's a baaaaaaby! Even if it's being born into, y'know, that family, it's still a baaaaaaaaaby!

 

[J Ed]

I would much prefer a Republican baby...
