I wish him every luck and happiness.

I cannot believe how sad and affected I feel by this.

MarionCole · 11/05/2010 19:30

I TAKE HALF AN HOUR OUT TO EAT TEA AND PUT DS TO BED AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE WAITED OBEDIENTLY FOR 5 BLOODY DAYS. AND YES, I AM SHOUTING.

Need to try and find his speech on BBC.

Jacaqueen · 11/05/2010 19:30

How sad was that?

Those lovely boys will never be in their home again.

Feel very sad

Mme. I missed it too.

Hassled · 11/05/2010 19:32

Oh I'm all teary. What a lovely, wonderful speech. What cute kids. I'm all of a tizz.

I know what you mean GOML, I think some of my sadness is because tearing shreds off Gordon Brown has been a national sport recently - we don't deserve him really. I feel a bit sad about what that says about us as a population/society (and concerned about all that stuff about the media).

policywonk · 11/05/2010 19:34

Dunno Len, that is a bit mysterious.

InmyheadIminParis · 11/05/2010 19:34

GROAN.

And I thought I was being unduly pessimistic all week.

I've been following this thread (all 7) with interest every day - it's kept me going. Thanks for the support. I'm now going to boil my head.

DP has just gone up the shop for wine for me. And I never drink midweek. I think he realises it is needed.

You're right Jac - that street has been those boys' home for as long as they have been alive. They did very well not to have been frightened by all those cameras. They would have scared me to death! So much upheaval for all the family isn't it.

Isn't Sarah Brown a bloody star as well.

MarionCole · 11/05/2010 19:35

Can't find the speech anywhere yet.

leavingonajetplane · 11/05/2010 19:35

Ok boys, we have to go see this Lady for Daddy to talk to her, and give her his job and our housekeys back and its going to be pretty boring for you - but you get to stay up late.

DH's comment to Buckingham Palace: Look at that grass

He has a slight obsession with the British grass

Beachcomber · 11/05/2010 19:36

Wanting to open wine but will need to persuade DH that the occasion merits opening of semi special magnum of red as have nothing else.

policywonk · 11/05/2010 19:36

Reading back... Marion, not Mme, sorry.

Jacaqueen · 11/05/2010 19:36

When the boys appeared I thought to myself, I see that the Browns have the same trouble as me trying to find a sitter.

However I thought it was lovely that they all left together.

I wonder where they will be sleeping tonight?

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 19:37

DD asked: Is that where the PM lives?

Hmm, need to teach my DC a bit about British culture

Prescott eloquent as usual - talking about Brown's "contribation" . . I think in my fantasy cabinet Sarah Brown would get a post, actually.

MarionCole · 11/05/2010 19:38

And, to make matters worse, I have to go to pilates in 10 minutes.

I think he has forced their hand somewhat.

Beachcomber · 11/05/2010 19:38

Bloody good on you Gordon for choosing your moment and not waiting for the Tories and LibDems to finish their talks.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 19:38

Policy
I did wonder that you were revelling in my sadness
