to think this is clearly a happy, happy marriage

Nothing to see here, just a happy couple. The Daily Mail said so, so it must be a FACT.

Still standing better than I ever did

It's so funny. I bet the DM are so hacked off Grin

AllPowerfulLizardPerson · 20/05/2016 05:07

The DM seems surprised that happiness can be found in whatever arrangement suits a couple.

Hetero-monogamy isn't the only way.

A friend shared this with me - and I immediately had to log on to see the MN perspective! Very very rarely would I be a supporter of the DM but on this one I have to confess they have cracked it.

I almost feel sorry for him. Dacre, that is. Almost.

novemberchild · 20/05/2016 05:26

Oh dear :(

WhatKatyDidnt · 20/05/2016 05:43

Oh right.

I'm confused about who's hands are on Eltons shoulders in the first picture! misses entire point of thread

Lovemylittlebears · 20/05/2016 05:49

I don't get it lol? I'm either thick or five months of night feeds has finally got to me?

whatamess0815 · 20/05/2016 05:50

hilarious Grin

any idea why the daily fail doesn't allow comments on this journalistic masterpiece??

Mov1ngOn · 20/05/2016 05:53

Ha.

JeffFromTheDailyMail · 20/05/2016 06:16

is that.......allowed? Shock does the journalist think they've completed a clever article there?

Toomanycats99 · 20/05/2016 06:31

I came on here to post this as well! How funny.....not open for comments though!

Toomanycats99 · 20/05/2016 06:32

Lovemylittlebears - it's (possibly) in response to another story from yesterday!

BitOutOfPractice · 20/05/2016 06:34

As my teens would say "ooooo! Burn!"

Pagwatch · 20/05/2016 06:38

That's extraordinary. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Although even from this thread it's obvious a bunch of people have no clue what's going on. Maybe they'll be able to get away with it

whatamess0815 · 20/05/2016 06:41

we talked about it at work and a lot of my colleagues had heard the 'news' but clearly had no idea whom it was about.

StealthPolarBear · 20/05/2016 06:41

I actually do think they look like a nice couple :) how young does Elton John look though? ? He's been selling hits since the 70s, he looks like he's in his 40s there.

DurhamDurham · 20/05/2016 06:42

I hate the DM but it made me laugh.....just a normal family, nothing to see here, not even a paddling pool in sight.

AlMinzerAndHisPyramidOfDogs · 20/05/2016 06:43

Very naughty DM! and no comments are allowed either - lol!

I don't know, it's absolutely dripping with sarcasm(?) that article. Don't follow the news generally but had a sneaking suspicion what it was having a dig at Wink

StealthPolarBear · 20/05/2016 06:50

Do you think they're reading it now over their perfect breakfast?

StealthPolarBear · 20/05/2016 06:52

Seriously he must be in his 60s surely? That main photo where he's wearing a blue t shirt, he looks so young.

fastdaytears · 20/05/2016 06:52

This made my morning (not that I read the DM in bed before getting up obviously)

I'm so pleased someone posted. What a very, very lovely story.

Someone forgot to enable comments. Weird.

StealthPolarBear · 20/05/2016 06:53

He's 69
