just spent the last 40 minutes watching these! thanks for the insanity

JizzPigeon22 · 21/07/2020 23:11

This is such a horrible thread. She’s doing a nice thing ffs.

And my children handle raw meat when cooking. Just make sure they wash their hands!

Pacamacka · 21/07/2020 23:14

This is toe curlingly (or toe suckingly) embarrassing to watch. Like the ramblings of a pissed relative at Xmas. When people say kids will love it my 5year old DGD would ask if I could put a different video on after a few minutes of that boring waffle and I wouldn’t blame her. Grim.

WhattheHhashappened · 21/07/2020 23:14

She lives in a very different social bubble to ordinary people. I often find the Royals (and ex R in her case) a bit weird and socially inept.

eatsleepcookrepeat · 21/07/2020 23:22

I think she's well intentioned, I saw these a while back and actually did the traffic light sandwiches GrinBlush

steff13 · 21/07/2020 23:24

I think it's kind of cute. I'm disappointed she didn't come up with more creative names for her stuffed animals than Teddy and Unicorn, though.

TheNestedIf · 21/07/2020 23:29

Hopefully there won't be any sort of collaboration between her and Big Cook and Little Cook. Otherwise, I can see them creating an actual working nuclear weapon out of a couple of cucumbers, some Doritos and a Wham Bar.

Seriously, though, I genuinely had fun with the few I've watched and I hope people are kind, because I would like to enjoy the rest and I imagine a fair few actual children would too.

Newschapter · 21/07/2020 23:34

I like them!

I don't think she's drunk, just eccentric?

I'm not a royalist but I like her!

Purpleneonpinkunicorns · 21/07/2020 23:39

Oh my ..thanks op I well and truly fell for this one Haha Grin..

FortunesFave · 21/07/2020 23:41

Why must some women delight in putting others down? Women have a hard enough time as it is without bolstering your own fragile ego by knocking someone doing a harmless project like this.

So unkind.

Would you knock her if she was 25 and gorgeous? Probably not. Middle aged women can't do anything without being called "Mad" or "Ridiculous"

Makes me so angry.

Pacamacka · 21/07/2020 23:52

Yes I’d say exactly the same thing if she were 25 and gorgeous or 25 and handsome if it were a man doing this. The videos are embarrassing and irrelevant piffle. I’m 60 and female and don’t refer to middle aged women as mad or ridiculous. I’m not critiquing Sarah Ferguson as a person , just her awful videos.

FortunesFave · 21/07/2020 23:54

Some of the comments made about her. Remember, she's a real person. It's not that long since we had a young woman commit suicide...remember that? And everyone said "Be kind" because you don't know what people are going through?

needs committing
Utterly baffling.
taken whilst in some sort of institution!
perverse
mad
drunk
Embarrassing

FortunesFave · 21/07/2020 23:55

Packamacka but don't you think that there's nothing to be gained by poking fun at someone like this? She's not doing any harm whatsoever.

Why knock people so badly?

niveaessential · 22/07/2020 00:02

have you seen the Banana video? she did a good job reading a book that has one word (yeah I have a weird sense of humour LOL)

TheNestedIf · 22/07/2020 00:07

It is both mad and ridiculous. Good. More of that, please. I aspired to be that with DP's son and if DP's son procreates, I aspire to doing it better.

Pacamacka · 22/07/2020 00:07

FortunesFave. Yes poking fun at someone is unkind. I’m not poking fun I’m saying the videos are embarrassingly awful imo. If you have a YouTube channel people will have an opinion of what is on it.

JaneJeffer · 22/07/2020 00:22

It's like a French & Saunders sketch.

ladycarlotta · 22/07/2020 00:26

oh, she's bonkers but it's perfectly sweet. And I agree with the PP saying she will be a brilliant grandmother - she definitely can't wait. I think if she were engaging with actual children in this process there would be some chemistry and it would be fun and funny. It's the fact she's doing it totally alone that makes it look particularly nuts.

FortunesFave · 22/07/2020 01:50

Pacamacka it's better to offer constructive criticism. Not call people "mad" or say they're drunk or need committing.

Pixxie7 · 22/07/2020 04:15

I feel a bit sorry for her really and hasn’t she aged.

AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken · 22/07/2020 08:16

@Pixxie7

I feel a bit sorry for her really and hasn’t she aged.
She’s 60 and she looks fantastic! What are you talking about?

@Fortunesfave

Re why knock people so badly?
Well, imo she invites criticism in her constant pursuit for money and attention. Was that kind of her to owe others, including small businesses so much money, to put others out of business and then swan off to parties on yachts with celebrities whilst wearing designer clothes and holiday it up in Switzerland in a 16 million pound chalet? All the whilst complaining about being poor? That, to me is unkind, self absorbed behaviour. She has constantly tried to capitalise on her royal connections for monetary gain ( doing the American talk show circuit, laughing about the way others in the Royal family dressed, the fake sheikh and selling tea to China). She has left a trail of destruction which has caused enormous stress and financial worry to others, then bounces back and does it all over again. And she seems to enjoy and seek out attention, in public. Which is why, imo, she invites criticism.

[/quote] AHH this is brilliant! I think and it is merely my own matter of opinion, she is just amazing. All credit to her. I also thought no that s great d the sort of thing the upper class/ RF behave. She has mixed with the RF since the day she was born. They seem to be very like this to me 😃, love it!
