NY mayor cancels on william

[everetting]

NY mayor cancelled a meeting with WIlliam but hasn't said why. Does anyone know more?

The Scots have obviously mastered irony! OK What's a Boaby..?

Boaby or Bobby diminutive for Robert. Git yer boaby oot! Same as Willy in England. 😂

@derxa I have a Robert, but I'm definitely not going to suggest this! Learned something new!

😂If you want to appreciate Scottish humour around this watch Still Game

I'll give it a look. I did try the Glaswegion comedy years ago and couldnt understand a word! can't remember the name but he was a scruffy oik

@derxa love it ! Also remember my then 4 year old DS asking me in front if my rather po- faced DM what a boaby was !?😂

😂

“Got it ! “

One of the most annoying attempts at patronising on MN .

I'm assuming you were also raised on Oor Wullie?! I have no idea what you're on about with Boaby?!! I can only think of Fat Bob ...

@derxa funny I can't bear Still Game. I don't get it. Imho the best comedy to come out of Scotland was Naked Radio and Naked Video.

Scotch and Wry for me !

De-rail. Wullie Fisher - good wee boxer?

I have such lovely memories of watching that with my family. No one does Hogmany like us Scots!

Maybe Eric Adams had enough with the Meghan and Harry " car chase" 🙄

As an American I can say that William's trip has gone exceedingly well everywhere except on Mumsnet. shhhh , you are spoiling the fun 😂😂😂,
its always hilarious watching certain posters throw a fit when foreign trips go well for any RF member.

🤣

I think everyone’s trips have gone really well in the past month: C&C, H&M, W. Full marks all round.

(this opinion will either make me universally popular or get me killed in my sleep)

Because the Royal Foundation would not exist without him, obviously.

So then another manufactured vehicle to make him look as if he has something to do.

BTW it seems to have gone very quiet on the Fleming Centre.

Has the Duke of Dolittle been too busy with his extended summer break then bestriding the globe as a statesman to bother with rainy days in London and germs?

BTW it seems to have gone very quiet on the Fleming Centre.

The Five year Fundraising campaign he’s leading? Are you expecting it to be live-streaming its process of identifying a pool of potential donors and starting to reach out to them? 🤣

Well no.

But there's been literally nothing to justify the fanfare around the announcement of his patronage. They haven't had even a mention in passing.

Bizarre given the numbers on MN tripping over themselves to highlight the undisputed worthiness of the cause and his value to it.

BTW it seems to have gone very quiet on the Fleming Centre.

You mean the initiative set up a couple of months ago ? Give it time !
Maybe allow it the same time that H and M supporters claim is needed to get 40x40 , Archewell and other projects up and running ?

He is there in name only I imagine, it's Imperial College and Imperial NHS who are driving it.
He's barely mentioned on Fleming centre dot org

Give it time !

How long does he need with that expensive spin team constantly on hand?

As I said not even a mention in passing.

He is there in name only I imagine

Looks like it.

Another patronage eats royal dust.

Some of the contributions on this thread are really pathetic.

Even the thread title is a lie.
