Low brow alert but I think VB is pregnant..

[Cortina]

Just a hunch from recent press and photos..You heard it here first

And I hope she is pregnant

I hope she is PG and I hope that they have their much wanted girl.

Darrell Rivers! What a great name...Do you know why Enid Blyton chose that name? If so I will take my hat off to you!

Agree with you re: VB!

Have you seen some of the vile comments that people have written on the DM article? It really makes me sad to see what some people feel is appropriate.

Wasn't it her lover's name? who became her second husband

DB biffing CT?

no no nooo

VB is a diamond lass, in RL she's v funny and self-deprecating

Was it really - Darrel Rivers.

Dear god you have just sullied a childhood heroine

Loads of people on my VB national treasure thread oh NO she is too thin.

I think she looks great.

Good on her if she is pregnant.

yes, have just googled to see if my thinking was correct
He was called Kenneth Darrell Waters
oh my goodness

here's daft's link

here's the Daily Fail article with pics

never mind VB though.... i'm willing to bet money Davina is pregnant again. For such an incredibly fit woman she had a definite mini bump last friday.

tulips, photos where?
I love a pregnancy story, it is lovely

Those pics say morning sickness to me. only time I've ever looked that bad. She rather famously doesn't drink either does she?

Yes, Waters. She chose 'Rivers' so no-one would guess! He was a surgeon injured in the battle of Jutland in the First World War. Geek alert! It made him slightly deaf.

'Darrell' was not a name popular with the 1940s public school girl set. Although her using it probably spawned a few.

He was a surgeon, who did emergency appendix surgery on her younger daughter over the kitchen table.

Her first husband was Hugh Pollock, father of her two girls. She kept that rather quiet.

Really, I didn't know VB didn't drink although it doesn't surprise me. I think she looks rather beautiful in the photos somehow.

Thankyou Tulips. Glad it worked for you . It didn't even seem to work when I linked just with the URL, for some reason

I told you why further up the thread, Daftapeth.

can't find pic but this is where i noticed it the most recent one.

have not got time to watch as had adverts, will sit down later, but am laughing at that Budweiser advert and designating a driver

Oh bless her she does look bleary doesn't she.

I hope she is pregnant. Good on her.

I like that orange frock as well.

good for VB and Davina if they are, i am quite fond of them both

isn't darrell river's dad a surgeon and performs an appendectomy on sally hope?

Yes. Darrell thinks she caused Sally Hope's pain as she shoved her over (one of her famous fits of temper).

Darrell's dad is the hero and saves the day. Darrell and Sally lovers best friends for life.

That's what Kenneth D Waters did in real life! To EB's daughter!

lol at GetOrfs lesbian mallory fan fiction

Why are we talking about Enid Blyton on a VB thread again?

Lol, though. Typical MN.

Mayor - you should get me started on the famous five and Naightiset girl in teh school

I blardy loved Enid. Malory towers was my favoutite. I so wanted to be Alicia Johns.

Looking back though all those teachers seemed mentally ill

OT but read Jane Beaton's books - she's ripped off all the characters and placed them in a modern setting, it works, well, especially her first book. Class, I think it's called.
