Harry and Meghan and the intricacies of the Monarchy

[PelicanPie]

Here's a follow on to the last thread, which was really enjoyable.

Thank you for this thread everyone- it’s keeping me sane with all the corona talk (& worry).

unlike us honorary penguins

Yolo my dear, you are not an honorary penguin, you are a real penguin.

Buttery is a puffin and therefore an honorary penguin.

APenquinIsCuttingTheGrass is a penquin and therefore like a penguin but with one little different defining characteristic.

There is a rumour that penquins are trans and non-binary penguins, but we are not going to ask as combining this topic with that topic will give poor @MNHQ a moderation coronary.

This penguin also thinks that camping is a bit shit. He’s doing his Duke of Edinburgh Award but would rather be in bed.

Good idea not to conflate the topics
There will be an influx of posters with one or the other view.
Mumsnet is soooooooooooooo transphobic.
Mumsnet is soooooooooooooo racist.
Poor MNHQ will be in desperate need of and even more

And just to point out that the two views will intersect in a lot of instances but MOVING SWIFTLY ON...

Did someone say Chunga Changa duet? 😏

From a distance, that gin bottle looks like a penguin.

I lobe how under the picture of the penguin doing his D of E it says “this isn’t happiness”.

Even the penguins aren’t thriving.

DofE penguin reminds me of DD setting off on her first Bronze expedition. I never saw a sadder sight. She has much to forgive me for.

I like those little penguins, need to google the name but they might be fairy penguins? in which case we can add homophobia into the mix...

Dandy you just make me laugh so much .... I didn’t spot that

If my memory serves me correct there was only one example of people interfering with wildlife with the Attenborough filming and it was penguins when an ice shelf formed and they would all die and they aided to build a bridge ...but there was angst that they were interfering with the way of wildlife

Save the penguins.

But we interfered with dwindling red squirrels and got vermin grey ones

Why do we interfere .."?

I am actually very very glad they helped the penguins .... just to emphasise that sometimes we can help and not just build a bigger f.... conundrum going forward

Red squirrels are the cutest little squirrely things ever. Grey squirrels are fat bastard rats with pretty tails.

Re saving the penguins in the DA prog, I hope to god they are not the ones that ended up in Belarus? Because that would really be a case of frying pan/fire....

OMG no Yolo.

DA would be on the case... they could only have got there by private plane

Yolo
Grey squirrels are fat bastard rats with pretty tails

🤣🤣

penquin I wasn't suggesting that DA would be the one frying the penguins? That would be a) unlikely and b) totally wrong.

Everyone who has ever eaten a penguin (possibly while camping in Botswana, just to bring things back on track) knows that they need a lot of basting with 'erbs (Calif lingo) and then grilling. I have heard that RPOs are well trained in grilling, but it may be a completely different sort and not involve penguins at all...

Would those be pan fried penguins yolo?

Hmmmm RPO are trained to kill and grill .... but also protect

I am Soooooooooooo confused

Send in the SAS to rescue. “Hey SAS there’s a few (not sure how many) adorable little (big? Small Medium hmm unsure ....Many types of penguin) stranded and the royals have promised to help

Make it so please

fleas panfried in a little it of olive oil (not just ordinary olive oil but HaM olive oil, which is very caring) plus a soupcon of Omid Scobie garlic... it's a very mild, you might even call it smooth, or even unctuous garlic.

Goodnight my penguin friends, you have all made me laugh so much today!

Do penguins taste like fish? Or is it like corn fed chicken so doesn't taste of corn, just really tasty chicken, it's yellow though.
Apparently seagulls taste like fish/rubbish. Cos they're flying rats, bit like the grey squirrels.
Sorry, it's late........

OMG you’re not including truffle oil ...sourced naturally within sustainable environment obs

And what about the penguins ... it’s one thing pan frying them but the sustainability

At least they are very low risk of covid19. Not like most of us

Um can I just say On the subject of sautéd penguin that I was talking about penguin livers way back on page 8. You’re all just soooooo page 22 and I’m a crap typist who makes typosforward thinking.

Apparently a collective noun for penguins, if on land, is a waddle.

If in the water, it's a raft.

Waddlers and rafters, goodnight all.

Fat bastard rats 👏👏
