Prince Harry

[iona]

Anyway. I do need some new jeans so I had a look at the clearance section of the TKMaxx website and was amused to see that "formal joggers" are apparently a thing. Is this a consequence of all the covid lockdown zoom meetings or just something that had somehow passed me by till now?

 

[Colin Hunt]

So I found a copy of the book for free on a site that shall remain unnamed, and was surprised to find that it was over 1000 pages long. It turns out the person who initially uploaded the book had bundled it with a David Icke book.

It's not a great look when David Icke's prose rivals that of your ghost-written memoir to be honest.

I think they existed before, but there's definitely been a big spike in the variety of loungewear available in the last few years. I'm glad of it tbf, my merino joggers see a lot of wear.

I already had everyday and "smart" (ie not holey / two sizes too big / covered in paint or soil) joggers, so it's just made me feel like even more of a scruffy cunt than usual. When I wear actual jeans I get the same job interview / court date jokes that other people get when they wear a suit

We used to joke that you could tell what kind of event a farmer was going to by how many buttons he had buttoned on his bibbs. One button done up--lunch in town. Two buttons -- he's headed to church. Three buttons -- wedding or a funeral.

(How's that for a derail?)

I feel very seen right now...

I've just started listening to Catherine Mayer's biography of Charles, written before he was king. Gripped so far

Any dog bowl fights with andrew?

 

[girasol]

its interesting how we as a country can talk about the invasion of afghanistan as Oh something that happened, and the bad bit was that one of our aristocrats said how many people he killed whilst taking part and NOT think this whole thing was an illegal NATO war crime. makes watching all the delusional russian state tv about their latest illegal war make a lot more sense

Both are bad, to be fair.

Not so far, it's talking about Camilla's role in domestic violence charities and the contradiction of Camilla's role and the behaviour of Prince Andrew. She also points out some of the misogyny Camilla herself had in the press

 

[JimW]

There's so much misogyny to go round!

 

[frogwoman]

Seems to be pretty sympathetic to Harry and particularly Meghan so far.

No one but military fetish weirdos and raging gammons really care tho, so why would he bother going through with a fine tooth comb to take out any item the british press could misrepresent - if they weren't misrepresenting this, it'd just be something else.

I agree with that in principal but what about his previous mutterings about his personal safety whilst he's in the UK and how he has suggested him and his family aren't afforded the appropriate level of protection he was accustomed to as HRH. Are his recently stirred up Taliban problems, due to these revelations, going to help with his and his families personal security?

Anyway like I previously said I don't really give much of a space in my head for the whole saga that is Prince Harry it just seems to me his little bit of Vince Bramley "I've been knee deep in the shit" isn't in-keeping with his "I'm doing all this for my family" seems a bit counter productive to me, as does the whole book idea.

The TK Maxx stuff is of significant interest to me though whilst I still have this voucher burning a hole in my pocket.

What a load of bollocks

I'm impressed by your commitment to his defence though!

got to keep him safe for the lime pits

Many Urbs will feel seen by this:

Haha, OU, the real author deserves credit for that and it's not J Moehringer.

I can’t remember who though - it was an old piece about ‘Quietus Man’

this is the original source, an all-time classic

I need better reading glasses (yes, I know I can zoom). I got a copy of the book (for free, I hasten to add), reading it now.

I see oddly that there's also discussion of TKMaxx, or the lack of, on that thread.

I'm pretty sure you wont find those paragraphs in your copy new glasses or not

He whines again about how ghastly their taxpayer funded 17th century cottage was that they were forced to live in before they got Frogmore Cottage.

It's an uncomfortable as well as hilarious read for many of us.

Single glazing, no central heating, chopping wood for the log burner and constantly fixing the roof. I feel his pain.

Not read that. It was more it wasn’t big enough or done up to their lofty expectations.

Listed buildings innit. The things you would change to make them lest lofty and drafty yer can't, even if you're turd in line.

 

[girasol]

Well, that was unexpected. Go headstands!

Open the wrong door and you might burst in on Pa while his valet was helping him dress. Worse, you might blunder in as he was doing his headstands. Prescribed by his physio, these exercises were the only effective remedy for the constant pain in Pa’s neck and back. Old polo injuries, mostly. He performed them daily, in just a pair of boxers, propped against a door or hanging from a bar like a skilled acrobat.

He hasn’t had to do a shift in the middle of winter with the freezing North Sea wind engaging with the sweat on his back though I doubt. So my sympathy is limited.

TBF most of us on here at least are a little bit too old.
