Harry and Meghan News thread

[Viviennemary]

I thought we could have a thread for latest news. MN did say they didn't mind one or two threads. And no rules except stick to MN guidelines. It's Meghans birthday today I just read. And the Queen has wished her a very happy birthday on the royal Instagram page according to that popular Oracle the DM.

I thought it was an egg slicer.

@MoreHippoThanPenguin - you've hit the nail on the head.
All sorts can be said about public figures, but MM and Harry it seems can only have positive press.

Its concerning actually. Censorship at this level is never good and I feel it reflects a narrowing of free speech in our society as a whole. HaM are using their influence to damage businesses by impacting their advertising if they view the content to be negative. Shocking behaviour from any celebrity, but esp a 'Royal'.

I love melon balls. On a slice of Parma ham.

Come on over to my thread! Hey hey, we’re having a party! We’ll be swinging, dancing and a-singing, and we won’t say any rude things!
Bloody boring party though.

I got are we talking about rhubarb gadgets?

What did Andrew Morton say about a lemon slicer and is it like a bread slicer but lemon shaped?

Well you made it boring by insisting that everyone be anodyne. Then you made it mad by shouting that Archie is King. This thing if insisting on all positivity or all negativity doesn’t work.

Anyway, I’m good here in my chair with my mocktail, thanks.

Diana apparently used one for self harm (but didn’t draw blood). I’ve still got no idea what one looks like. I always use a knife. #common

So not like Abigail's party then. No Demis Roussos and no alcohol I suppose. That's not a party. A waste of

Ah now a (three doors down from) Abigail’s Party, party I could get behind. Maxi dresses and nibbles

That’s sad.

So, I googled lemon slicer and eBay gave me this as my alternative suggestion.

I’ve just googled a lemon slicer and it appears to be a plastic device that shows you where to cut a lemon but you need a knife as well to do the cutting. Surely that can’t be right?

So the eBay algorithm also reads Morton?

It would explain why she failed to draw blood!

Oh it’s not me that’s insisting that everyone be anodyne

£8.39? We should all get one!

Collaborator!

I still can’t find the special Markle-Mountbatten moderation TGs.

While we’re on the subject of kitchen gadgets and their appropriation by members of the RF, what do you think The Queen has to say about loo brushes? Sorry, the LAV brush? Do you think she’s ever mistaken a corgi for one?

I am sure HMQ will have sturdy traditional lav brushes made from boar bristles. None of these new-fangled ones made from modern materials.
I fear, too, that we have been misled by previous posters who think Princess Diana attempted self-harm with a piece of yellow plastic. The lemon slicer in question is more likely to have been a classy antique one like this from Etsy.

Surely loo brushes are Non U and it's just a case of a daily clean?
I wish we could talk about actual stuff!

Ouch sideways! You could do yourself a damage with that.

I take your point eaumyword. Do you think HaM have the Tupperware Drawer of Doom? Or is that too much speculation? About a rented house? IYSWIM?

This is Tyler Perry’s photo of his kitchen. You can just see his gadget drawer to the left of the stove. He captioned this picture “Surround yourself with things that remind you to never give up”, a clear reference to his collection of potato-eye removers, butter curlers, rhubarb strimmers and lemon slicers.

I like his motivational message. Above my cooker, written on the chalkboard, is the inspirational quote “Only blanch your French beans for 45 seconds before freezing.”

Wow!!
