I don’t know what parrots means but I think I know what the penguins referred to - Harry was prank called by some radio shock jocks pretending to be Greta Thunberg and her Dad trying to get Harry involved in a scheme to save the penguins of some imaginary country - or something like that.

Maireas · 03/09/2023 19:47

Oh, thanks, @wordler - I had no idea what that referred to. I'll look up that prank call.

ArcaneWireless · 03/09/2023 19:51

Yes thank you wordler. - I missed that.

I detest prank calls - even more after that poor poor woman in the Lindo.

RIP Jacintha.

Oh no, @Samcro , as @Roussette knows, penguins fly among us still!😂

The Powers That Be have however stamped out some of the more ludicrous stuff.

Remember the "pigeon playing chess" code?

It was a code for posters to freeze out a poster they did not like!

Edited

Oh was that want it meant, I never realised, horrible

Oh god, wasn't that awful.

Maireas · 03/09/2023 20:00

What is the pigeon chess thing? I genuinely don't understand some of these references.

MrsMaxDeWinter · 03/09/2023 20:01

Oh yes @Samcro. If pro-Meghan posters wrote anything they would send out the bird call and post stuff like I see a pigeon has arrived, coo coo, etc etc.

It was not Mumset's finest hour!

ArcaneWireless · 03/09/2023 20:04

Me neither maireas

jeffgoldblum · 03/09/2023 20:12

Isn't this now textbook derailing?

Samcro · 03/09/2023 20:14

Meandering Jeff lol

@Maireas what the playing chess with pigeons refers to.

Maireas · 03/09/2023 20:27

Oh, I see. Thank you, @AngryGreasedSantaCatcus - all this talk of penguins and pigeons... I was quite bamboozled.

Samcro · 03/09/2023 20:37

Shows how horrid it was

ArcaneWireless · 03/09/2023 20:38

Ah. Fair doos.

Mycatisthebestever · 03/09/2023 20:45

There's certainly been loads of revelations and many personal ones over the past few days on here ( to what end I have no idea) but it certainly seems that some people seem to be very invested in all of this - about people they have never met. By that I mean Harry and Meghan. I have no idea why people would persist in something that causes them so much stress over what people write on a board. As for all the penguins and pigeons.... get a life!

Mycatisthebestever · 03/09/2023 20:46

and you just proved my point 🤔. I am entitled to give a view even though I am not a pigeon or a penguin.

Mycatisthebestever · 03/09/2023 20:52

@JamieFrasersfurrysporran then why the personal attack about what I said ?

You are the one telling people to get a life, if you think my comments are a personal attack, wow, you really haven't lived

JamieFrasersfurrysporran · 03/09/2023 20:54

@Mycatisthebestever it seems it's only you that is allowed to appear wit the snide comment moments
