Well here we are, another thread for those who wish to discuss. We are not nasty, but we do call account on what is going on, and and what taxpayers pay for.

We are not nasty

I do think that ship sailed some time ago. Even the thread title is designed to make fun of Meghan. And the vehemence on some of the posts, why the depth of antagonism?

callmeadoctor · 04/02/2020 15:30

Ive actually not had that much sympathy for them, but I found this compilation of Meghan on youtube that is supposed to have us looking at all her "fails", but actually its made me feel a bit sorry for her. Somebody has gone to the effort of making this to show Meghan up, but has done the opposite in my opinion, I feel bad for her that people have been rude to her. Have a look if you have time.

Oh dear, the righteous thread monitors have arrived.

Please note, the only vehemence on the thread is yours.

callmeadoctor · 04/02/2020 15:40

Its a really sad compilation actually.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 04/02/2020 15:41

I will admit I expressed myself robustly on the handholding. And I'd do it again, because it's utterly ridiculous.

callmeadoctor · 04/02/2020 15:41

In the compilation they spend 5 mins criticising the fact that she can't walk in heels!!!!!

annielouise · 04/02/2020 15:42

How does doing a yoga class put some good in the world? Confused

Butterymuffin · 04/02/2020 15:43

Hello @Zipadeedoodah, we'll continue to discuss what we want to, within Talk guidelines, thanks all the same. But feel free to go to a yoga class or do charity work yourself. (PS how do you know we don't already?) Have a lovely day Smile

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 04/02/2020 15:43

I'm not keen on compilations that are meant to show people in a bad light so I have some sympathy callmedoctor.

allflightscancelled god sorry! didnt mean to make you feel OLD Grin! 40? a long way back in the past for me, you are a mere spring chicken and therefore entitled to feel that you and your significant other are indeed a young couple!!

I cant walk in heels either. If I was Royal (unlikely) I'd be in trainers or flats all the time. Heels is where trouble lies... OTH as an actress I would have put walking in heels down as part of the job.

Vehemence? another great word which I had forgotten, along with rustication. I dont see any of us chatting/gossiping being particularly vehement, that seems to be reserved for those just sliding in.

@Yolofish
If it's about accountability why are you not going after the members of the Royal Family who are still benefiting more from our taxes?

temp because I simply cba?

I have respect for HMQ and even the DoE; Charles and Camilla - he's a wuss but she's a game old bird. I think the Cambridges are doing the best they can. So out of the slimmed down monarchy that leaves H&M, who are on an extended break with 15 RPOs looking after them at vast expense - and their protectees are doing fuck all.

Andrew is another kettle of fish, but he will get his comeuppance in due course, I very much hope.

I think Zipadeedoodah needs to zipitup.

Allflightscancelled · 04/02/2020 16:12

yolofish S'okay. When I say I'm pushing 40, I'm pushing it from a loooong way the wrong side. I think I was in denial about the 'young' thing.

Also I may have been attempting to ignore Zipadee-wotsit

(I've been here off and on through all these threads, I've just changed my name today)

yoof is often overrated allflights - bring on the elasticated trousers, not giving a fuck about grey hairs or who thinks what of you!

Why did Zipadeedoodah's posts get deleted? They weren't that bad. She's entitled to her opinion, as we all are.

Allflightscancelled · 04/02/2020 16:59

Elasticated trousers on Grin

Zippedy is indeed entitled to her opinions, but she was a bit vehement and - well, insulting. Not that I care personally, it wasn't me that reported him/her.

So you're 30ish??

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 04/02/2020 17:26

I think from memory they contained personal attacks, annielouise , I doubt anyone reported but there was some name calling and that would have fallen foul of the guidelines.

That's my guess anyway. I didn't take too much notice.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 04/02/2020 17:28

Elasticated trousers, tell me about it! It's a sign of old age when having stretch in your 👖 is non-negotiable.Crown Grin
