Duchess of Cambridge pregnant with number 2

[Crackedhouse]

Lovely news to wake up to today!

hey, al east we are giving her a normal reason to feel sick so she can be like everyone else.

sorry for your troubles farfalla

I wish them well but if anyone in the dark recesses of Whitehall or Downing St release this news with one eye on the referendum then I can only assume they've never actually met any Scottish people...

Oh goody.

The last time it made me ambivalent about the Royals. I imagine this time it will turn me into a fully paid up and committed Republican.

I think the chances are they've met a fair few Scottish people. We do, occasionally, travel to that there Lahdahn, and have even been known to hold quite senior positions in Government. Amazing to think.

Be fair, she was meant to open a building in Oxford and she cancelled rather than vom up all over the new carpet... they had to say something.

SirChenjin, what REALLY? Do they allow Scottish people south of York then? How does one spot a Scot?

I can hide it no longer SquattingNeville ever since Alex has started saying 'sorry pal' to the sausage rolls and 'I cannae' to the cakes there has been a stirring in my loins.............

Oh God I have just read the last page.

Salmond and sex....NO!!! It would be like fornicating with a toad.

Congrats to William and Kate though-am very much a 'Yes' voter (live in Central Scotland) but I do love a bit of royal news!

You won't be getting any more royal news if you abandon us urban. Oh no.

We'll be putting armed guards on the border to keep it in England, don't you know?

Squoosh and SirChenjin, I am worried about you both......

Hester

I'm quite looking forward to the Private Eye headline. They have set themselves a standard.

Oh it's easy. We're the ones waving the Saltire, wearing a See You Jimmy hat, and looking around in amazement at all the people

I thought that would be the case. Presumably you are stuffing yourselves with haggis and deep fried mars bars and yelling "Tha's LEGAL TENDER!" at hapless shop assistants when attempting to use your funny bank notes also?

Like a little enthusiastic toad, with Nikki Sturgeon looking on and giving instructions in a very stern manner

I think I feel a bit sick.

You know us so well Hester. One homogenous deep fried mass, that's us.

Ignoring all the talk of Alex Salmond having sex in adventurous positions and coming like a salmon... Eurgh....

Congrats Kate & Wills, but I can't believe you're stealing my thunder again! I'm 11 weeks pg with dc2 and was 10 weeks when they announced George last time! wonders if she's having the same double buggy dilemma as we are

I bet Nicola says to Alex when she's supervising his pumping 'this is very positive but there's still much to do'.

:o

Stop it Squoosh. Please. I'm aching with laughter.

I bet she does - and then releases a press statement advising us all on Alex's pumping progress stating that "although independence is not a magic wand cure, Alex's wand sure is magic"

Disclaimer: I added the last 5 words

The bus drivers around Kensington are pretty impatient.

How exciting for them...

Now I want one.

With a few of their nannies.

And I can sub in for her Malta trip.

Do you think Kate's a MNer? Sorry Kate
