It's not like you all have not been wondering

OP posts:
LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 09/05/2019 07:26

I wouldn't say it's bonkers, I would say it's full of feverish, spiteful and lacking posters who cannot leave other women alone, whatever they do.

Nasty and I really hope the thread is deleted. I always check who the OP is and make a mental note that they're a goady fucker.

Some of that too

I remember when princess Anne called her daughter Zara. I thought that was so ‘punk’ for a royal Grin ( it was a very long time ago )

I really agree LyingWitchintheWardrobe. I usually try to avoid MM threads because they are so horrible. It's quite depressing reading.

IAmNotAWitch · 09/05/2019 07:36

MN MM threads are almost as much fun as MN Dog threads. Just as crazy.

Name seems fine, they like it I am sure.

Not like the called the kid L-a or something.

Hopeygoflightly · 09/05/2019 07:38

Poor MM! I have a friend who was doing the whole ‘oh she’s so fake’ bollocks and I wouldn’t usually get involved but had to say ‘WTF?! Do you actually know the woman? What are you on about??’
She’s an actress and used to the press etc. So hopefully can cope with all this nonsense and knows when to ignore it.

Anyone who works in education will have certain views on the name Archie - and Alfie for that matter. Very much ‘of a certain sector.’

Mum was a teacher for all her working life. Several schools across all demographics. She never met one.

I however have known of two at my DD’s private prep Grin

I've worked in secondary and primary schools for over 20 years and neither names have negative connotations for me. Ive also worked in Prison Ed and neither names came up from what I can remember.
There are some names where I've taught children and many of them have seemed to fit a 'behaviour' type but not these two actually, and these two are definitely not ones I've attributed to a given sector of the community either.

In fact I've only taught a couple of children named Archie and both were lovely. I've taught a lot more named Alfie and they've been much more mixed, probably as I've met more of them.

I do know of one young Archie and he appears to be very cute and sweet, and his parents are most definitely not from 'of a certain sector' as you've put it.

The shite that gets spouted on here is something else.

I am not keen on Harrison, but Megson would have been worse. Let's be grateful for small mercies.

MissEliza · 09/05/2019 08:02

I didn't get why she kept rubbing his back on the way out either.
When they were first engaged then married she kept touching Harry all the time, then she couldn't keep her hands off her bump and then yesterday she kept touching the baby's head. If she hadn't been an actress, I'd have thought she was very shy and it was a bit of a crutch for her. I don't get why she does that though.

^^

Is it causing you sleepless nights ??
Do you need to speak about it to somebody?? Do you need help to stop fixating on it ???

Do you understand the concept of an online forum for discussion?

Given that she’s responding to a previous post I’d say more so than you at the present 😁

MyBlueMoonbeam · 09/05/2019 08:18

Eh? She was doing her usual false, smug simpering bollocks! Rubbing Harry’s back as he walked away, draping herself over him etc. I think she is just so bloody fake and such an actress (and not a good one). Genuinely surprised when people can’t see through it.
I can 🤮

Ha! Isn’t she replying to MissEliza?!

JacquesHammer · 09/05/2019 08:19

I can

Of course. And the reasons behind your “special insight” are transparent.

JacquesHammer · 09/05/2019 08:19

Um yes. Which was a previous post Confused

shiveringtimber · 09/05/2019 08:21

Archie is a dreadful name IMO and totally unsuitable for a royal. I wish the Queen had vetoed it.

So there.

MyBlueMoonbeam · 09/05/2019 08:21

Oh pray do enlighten me 🙄

DeadWife · 09/05/2019 08:25

Oh ffs. He was holding the baby, she was understandably nervous in front of the world's press - baby blues no doubt hitting in - and didn't know what to do with her hands.

For those trying to find every fault in her - why?

MyBlueMoonbeam · 09/05/2019 08:28

Same could be said for those fawning over the pair of them - why?
Those people care not one jot for any of you 🤯

CylindraceousNicholas · 09/05/2019 08:28

Archie is way better than Philip or Alfred. Archie sounds young, the other two sound elderly.

LaurieMarlow · 09/05/2019 08:29

Given that she didn’t veto Savannah, Isla, Mia or Lena I’ve no fucking idea why she’d veto Archie Hmm
