Club Penguin Royal - the intricacies of the monarchy etc

[yoloPenguinsEatfish]

Have taken the liberty of starting a new fred if no one else has?

Dandy - you’ll be just fine. Really. I feel much calmer today including about HaM. You are all correct. They are a good distraction. I want them to start doing their daily yoga poses and fashion tips. You never know, they might get really creative, as people are wont to do in testing times (I’ve just caught DH fashioning a ‘bra’ out of rope to help him with posture 😐).

Please stay alsgirl. I'm a very jumpy penguin right now.

And you were being lovely about someone in need.

I would normally think about ways of helping but don't have the mental energy right now. You're right though that there are some smart people here.

Thanks all

Yolo thanks for the recommendation

Worfs I note you sniggering. Don't make me come and cough on you (This is a joke, absolutely would never do this obviously!)

Aargh Startup!

It's so annoying, Roses. She's so predictable and unoriginal.

And I've turned into a cliche, using the word "so" twice. A word I usually try to avoid.

So, I love the word so! It's apparently an Irish thing to start a sentence with 'so'. (DM was Irish, she would often do it and I've read it on here before). Tangent, but Megz wore Kelly green to W.Abbey (or wabby, as I call it) so there's a link there.

It's different when the Irish do it, they've always done it . I think it's the "thank you so much" that everyone says now rather than "thank you very much" that annoys me. I'm clearly easily annoyed

Thank you so much is so ubiquitous that I've seen it in period dramas when we definitely weren't saying it.

Alsgirl you obviously have a kind soul, I feel sure there is some penguin in you. Please stay.

Dandy, you must feel so miserable, I hope you feel better soon.

Personally would be happy never to hear the following phrases again:

We are proud to..
We are honoured to...
inspiring
Working tirelessly
Right now
Oftentimes

Please feel free to add your own

Myimaginary, I'll add "Incredibly difficult". It can't just be difficult. Always has to be some drama involved and H's serious and concerned little face.

I agree with your list.

"Shine a light"

I can't suggest much more as I don't tend to listen to what they have to say. I didn't watch the engagement interview, although have seen snippets (enough to conclude she's a phoney), or the wedding. They both irritate me.

fleas I cannot believe you missed out on 'collaboration'!!

Concern face. I am so sick of celeb concern face. 😬

Dandy, am really thinking of you. My DD (11) has the dreaded C. Children are supposed to get off lightly, but she is so sick. Waiting for everyone else in the family to catch it.

I am still trying to figure H&M out.... These statements are just.... “If you are bored you could help”. I just find it so patronising.

I do wish they would post the daily yoga pose, at least it would give Everyone a smile

Yep, the “right” at the end of the sentence on that Instagram post irritated me. My irritation threshold is at an all time low this week though.

The difference between them trying to insert themselves into the drama from their cushioned safety, while William and Kate actually go and thank real frontline workers is profound. I do not see how they can show their faces in UK again.

There is talk of them coming back, I think?

Hipppo I’m sorry to hear that. It’s hard to watch your child when so unwell. Dd has swine flu (10) & was so unwell. I feel for you.

I hope not Barley

I also get wound up when politicians say “Look!”

“Look, I’m telling the truth” cue Pinocchio nose 🤥

Here’s something to cheer you up Dandy

Hippo am thinking of you I hope your girl feels better very soon.

Rumours of them returning? Details please

Hehehe, erector 😏

@BarleylemomPeguin Canadian airlines suspended most overseas, and US routes. They could drive to the US, and take a plane from there, or travel by private jet, but what message does that send?

PS - The border will close tomorrow, so unless they are on their way (it's a short drive), they won't be leaving Canada.
