Harry & Meghan - watching and waiting (no.13)

[yolofish]

A new thread in which to discuss what happens next in this saga.

And best wishes to mustress and thanks for her excellent thread titles.

Meghan seems to want the adulation and being feted rather more than the actual making a difference

That is certainly how it comes across. We may be wronging her. I think it will become clearer once MM and PH make their next move.

I was so keen on her to start with. I defended her to the hilt. I was outraged by the negative press.

Well, I'm still horrified by the evil stuff people see fit to post on platforms such as Instagram.

But the way she and PH have gone about this....no. It smacks of self-seeking opportunism to me.

Really? I would've said the complete opposite. She was involved in charity work before she met PH. World Vision and other foundations.

LilyMumsNet suggested that we scroll past posts if we chose to. I believe that was very good advice

I think everyone on here knows that, you have said it endlessly.

I have restated Lily Mumsnet's advice when I see that the thread is in danger of being deleted because it descends into a bunfight.

There is no need for a bunfight.

Irritated!

What a day. I took dd to build a bear to spend her Christmas money. The bear she wanted not in stock. Let down dd. Ok don't worry we will go to another one next weekend, let's go for lunch. The restaurant we usually go to? Shut down! Never mind kids I will order a pizza when we get home. Pizza arrives - my small vegi delight has CHICKEN on it 🤬

I AM NOT OK!

Every time I come on this thread I expect to see it has been deleted. Seeing as I started it, that would seriously piss me off.

Need to make lunch now, please dont get the thread deleted!

I don't doubt M's sincerity in wanting to make changes for the good for certain disadvantaged members of society. Unfortunately I think she is completely intoxicated by the fame marrying Harry has brought her and that has become her main focus.

I have found in life that the most obnoxious and self absorbed people are greatly improved by a few knocks that bring them down to size and teach them some humility. Maybe this will work for M and she'll emerge a better person for the criticism she is facing now.

Harry I agree that your dinner menu is not drivel.

Heaven forfend that anyone's dinner menu is castigated.

That would be treasonable.

There is no need for a bunfight

I agree.

Although 'scrolling on by' to every single person with a different opinion to you does rather defeat the object of a discussion forum... as it becomes just an echo chamber.

I heartily agree with this analysis.

MM does not like whatever it is that being in the RF gets her.

It is Not Good Enough.

Hi there yolofish

Hope you are okay.

I, too, come on to the thread to see if it's been deleted.

That's quite a negative way to look at things.

Bah, I am going back to the sherry.

WendyMoira

It sounds like you're having a very bad day. Commiserations.

Some days are just like that. Everything goes wrong.

Tomorrow, things will improve.

It is The Law.

avoiding a bunfight has just become another code for ignoring me.

These 'reminders' only appear when I respond to some attack on me, like @Froq's 'are you still here?'

I've right to reply. As I said people have been targetting me on this thread since the first post.

If it gets deleted, it gets deleted but I'm not being intimidated- thanks!

how can you post something like this and pretend you know how to be a better person?
How have you decided she is obnoxious and vile?

Baby, DH and I are going to our 90-year old neighbour for coffee and cake at 3.30 today.
Really looking forward to it, I hope I’m as sharp and energetic at that age.

Does anyone else find that after eating Stornoway Black Pudding, the taste stays in your mouth for hours?

It is a sublime experience.

Me , me , me . I'm glad your ok mur.

As long as your Old Lady doesn't slip you a copy of the DM.

@WendyMoiraAngelaDarling Kate spent the last several years announcing a big early years project she was working on, then we found out it was was a flipping survey of five uninspired questions. After which she'll probably spend the next several years thinking which direction she should take her work in. What work?! Eight years as a royal, and a Chelsea garden and a five question survey are all she has to show for it. How could anyone blame Meghan for wanting to step it up from that level?

Afternoon everyone.

Here it is - last reminder to please all have a read of Talk Guidelines and be mindful of those guidelines when posting.

If we continue to get lots of reports about this thread and have to make more deletions, we'll consider zapping the entire discussion.

We'll leave that with you. Peace and love.

I'm vegetarian Mustress. If I had the taste of Stornoway Black Pudding in my mouth for hours it would be a very worrying experience!

I'm going to go and eat some falafels. Probably have a cup of tea too. Don't have a cat.

@Cacacoisfarraige

Do you think that MM will regret what she's lost, as in the book "Snobs"?

Lol, Mustress
Mine usually brings blackberries from her allotment or homemade cake.

How have you decided she is obnoxious and vile?

Exactly.
And so we go full circle on these threads. MM is a hateful individual according to some. There's not much more to be said is there? Except maybe to wait it out for them to split up or her to commit some other heinous crime like smiling when walking her dogs...

(Disclaimer, I don't think she is obnoxious and vile)

Now that’s the type of post I can get behind, enjoy!
