Indifference to PoW?

I find it strange that there’s no real interest or concern from the public about POW being in hospital. Nobody seems to be that bothered. If you compare it to the circus if Diana had been in the same situation….. I just find it odd. I always thought she was relatively popular because we’re constantly told she is but actually…. Tumbleweed.

I know it’s her own business etc but it just feels quite odd that somebody can disappear and there is no interest in why. I don’t really know or care what’s happened or why, but the silence is really intriguing. It reminds me of when the brexit referendum happened and I had no idea that there was such strong feeling about the EU…. I had no idea that there was such apathy about the PoW until now. It’s been a real eye opener for me.

I reckon the next generation or two, the monarchy will be gone.

No, not guilty. Another poster - I can't recall the name - said that the HoY at Thomas's said something about George's emotional state and ability. I had nothing whatsoever to do with that post. Apology welcome.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 20:48

My pomposity is completely intentional on this thread I'm afraid.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 20:49

Oh, were they the poster who insisted that George was too dim for Eton, William definitely wanted him to go there and threw a wobbly because he was turned down, and the head of Eton was too principled to accept him despite William's FURY?

Nope. Not me. Please quote if you can.

Glad to hear (read?) it! That was very funny...

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 20:52

I certainly said that I thought the current HT had principle, although a large number of royal fans claimed he lacked principle and would accept George no matter what.

This thread is getting a bit like an itch you can't reach to scratch, or an intensely irritating wasp you can't get rid of.

Yet you can't tear yourself away...!

I wonder if the PoW is reading? She's probably having a good laugh (if it's not too sore)!

Wonder if she ever googles herself?!

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 20:54

I thought it was the other way round - the republicans were claiming that the RF had such oppressive and over whelming power that they could over-ride ANYONE

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 20:54

Honestly, people are going to have an uphill struggle here. It's a good job that the thread is presumably still there.

Why do rf fangirls need to resort to distorting what other posters say?

No, it wasn't you - I remember it was a different name.
It all got very silly!

@Pollysperfect are you casting nasturtiums? 😂

Totally off topic but that brought a tear to my eye. My Dad used to say that and I haven't heard it for years. Thank you for the memory. 😍

Happy to give a happy memory, even though a loss as well 😘

Yes, sorry if you thought I meant you - I thought it was another poster upthread, my mistake 😘

Maireas · 02/02/2024 20:59

Can anyone remember the name of that poster who claimed that Prince Harry used her toilet? That was even more amusing than the year head one for ludicrous claims.

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 21:00

That sounds a good one 😂 I must have missed it

Serenster · 02/02/2024 21:06

What about the one that was convinced that a photo of Zara and her ex boyfriend, jockey Richard Johnson, was a photo of her and William, despite him being not blond, about a foot shorter than William and looking nothing like him! 🤣

Anyway, in past posts, goodbyestranger is adamant that Kate clearly and very visibly can’t stand being around William. She’s a phenomenal actress then, is all I’d say.

This is all getting very silly too.

Could have been using a different username anyway.

Oh I remember that one ! He: she/ they were adamant that tiny jockey Richard was William crouching down . You couldn’t make it up .

I remember that. The poster absolutely insisted that the person in the photo was William, even when factual evidence to the contrary was shown to her.

Same poster used to regularly draw on her collection of screenshots from often years old tabloid articles, if I'm not mistaken. She could pull one out for just about any possible scenario. I'm genuinely curious as to how she had all those screenshots filed. In alphabetical order? By tabloid name? By topic?

Some organisational skills there. Seriously impressive.

I'm pretty sure that one eventually got banned, Serenster, and going on the number of posts deleted because they're from a PBP it's possible they keep coming back

Also some of the writing styles are pretty distinctive

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 21:23

Serenster you claim that Anyway, in past posts, goodbyestranger is adamant that Kate clearly and very visibly can’t stand being around William

I mean, just where are these past posts?

There seems to be a lot of confusing me with other posters. I'm also quite sure that MN can confirm that I don't switch usernames.

You need to look elsewhere people!
