writing style

Why do HARRY and MEGHAN write their INSTAGRAM posts with this WEIRD mix of words in block CAPITALS and others in standard script? It's very ODD.

I just think everything they do seem to be so expensive . I can understand the sharing an office with the Cambridge’s, splitting the costs. But all these houses, fittings, clothes, security for them whilst in multiple places, private jets and also a coms person? Which I assume is in addition to the nanny and housekeeper?

It is a bit of “my reality check just bounced”. They will have to make serious money with those running costs.

6) as everyone is under an awful amount of stress at the moment, nobody has any patience, including MQH, everyone hates each other - and the thread gets pulled.

It is such a shame. I have taken so much comfort from these threads, loved the diversions into succession and tiaras and generally reading everyone’s input. It has been many sleepless nights this spring.

I think I've figured it out - it's really that some people are worried about penguins being bored due to being confined during the virus crisis so have invented an amusing pull-thread game to keep penguins active, making penguins jump through hoops to find the huddle once the last ice floe's been sunk.

Well done to the would be zookeepers! I feel quite exercised this morning.

Missed opportunity for a 'breakout role'?

Cate Blanchett to star as the US divorcee Wallis Simpson who lured Edward VIII away from the Royal Family and caused the 1936 abdication crisis

I wonder if this is one of the many offers that was deemed cheesy (“cheesy”!), but good to hear that Cate was available.

I think it would have attracted attention for all the wrong reasons. Anyway, there will be plenty of A-listers 'resting' at the moment as it doesn't look like even the likes of Disney is currently hiring

Disney execs moan about voluntary 5-20 percent pay cuts to their six-figure salaries after company's lower-paid 'non-essential' staff are told they're being placed on furlough

I think the gravy train will slow down significantly for obscenely overpaid industries like sports and entertainment.

What a terrible time to try and break into them, for a fraction of what they paid just months ago.

CleansUp, I think you are right!! This is all about us penguins!! How did they know I need exercise? I am in lock down, how did anyone know I don’t fit in my jeans anymore ??? This is an invasion of my privacy!!

I'm sure I'm like many people who, forced to stay away from the shops, have begun to re-evaluate my spending habits. In such serious times, and in the knowledge that many people are really struggling both financially and psychologically, I have no appetite for "frivolous" spending, and it makes me even less tolerant of conspicuous consumption in others.

Three weeks ago we were saying "good luck to them". As long as they are fully self funding no-one begrudged them the immense wealth they seem to be pursuing.

Now I think people may be less inclined to wish them well. Now, more than ever, they'll need to deliver on using their platform to change the world for the better.

Oh, and penguins, do take care. Protect yourselves from seals. Social distancing at all times.

And killer whales. Don't let's forget about the killer whales.

Very much this, Mischief.
It's funny, this social distancing has made me realise that I wouldn't want to be within two metres of some people even if it were allowed.

I'd definitely think it a bad idea to strike up a conversation with them; that sort of thing always ends in tears...

@CleansUpPenguinPoo I'm glad you are enjoying the exercise. PM'd you.

LaMar my thoughts exactly. What I am learning about humanity, and indeed seal behaviour, has been so illuminating.

We NEED to be TOGETHER to stay safe yet HAVE to SOCIAL DISTANCE

Gosh that was hard work changing the shift key so much. Still am grateful for the finger exercise in the current times.

I've just had one of those thoughts that we are not supposed to have. Highly unlikely, I know, but, hypothetically-speaking, I wonder if in 50 years' time, someone might write a screenplay for a fantasy where several countries are put through the wringer because one woman thinks she can act? Set in space. With horses.

Yep, Pointless Celebrities is taking on a whole new meaning right now.

Indeed. But even people who add value need to be more aware now.

Yesterday I almost posted something on FB without thinking, job related, and suddenly stopped and remembered I have friends who’ve lost jobs or been furloughed.
Really not the time to post mundane stuff about my unaffected WFH job.

That came out wrong I think.
I’m not patting myself on the back, rather I’m annoyed that I was almost a dick to people I care about.
And everyone, celebs with millions of followers especially, need to tone it down if not that affected.

Morning all. Penguin males are ace. They sit on the eggs to keep them warm whilst looking wistfully out to sea wondering what happened to their lives. And not even the prospect for a bit part in Happy Feet 3 to fantasise about 🐧 🦶

I really s don’t believe those Insta posts were written by a communications person. The language, style and content is all very much that of M . It is often clumsy and badly written with Americanised spelling. Not a professional effort at all.
