A thread for cheese , recipes, humour and general chat about the royal family.

[jeffgoldblum]

Hello 👋, I thought it might be nice to have a thread we can discuss our cheesy feelings, food delights and general discourse about the royal family.

@Maireas Are you still adding to the bingo card? AND THIS IN A PARENTING SITE is a full house winner. 🍷 🍸

Sorry I've been not joining in much , had a mini crisis last night, sliced my thumb open this morning and now my daughter has dropped something extremely heavy and made of metal on her foot!!!
Bloody hate Sundays!!!!

Oh sorry to hear!!!!!! Hope you’re all ok and it’s not too serious x

No sausage so I grated some very naice Parmesan over my scrambled eggs and crumbled some crispy bacon over with a good seasoning of black pepper and feel much better!

@wordler , I hope you know I wasn't referring to cheesers!

Oh yes! Of course - I was actually a bit mad at my myself though for being so easily drawn in!

I'm in too much of a high dudgeon's to post sensibly at the moment, because it's easy to be drawn in !

@jeffgoldblum 💐hope your thumb heals soon and that you DD is ok. I hope someone irl doesn't see the plaster on your thumb and think the very worst of you 🙄

🤣🤣🤣🤣, lucky for me I heal at lightning speed! I recon it'll be off by tomorrow 🧀🧀, the healing power of cheese will save me , once again!

That’s exactly what I was thinking although I don’t want to be flippant about @jeffgoldblum ’s injury 😆

So I can’t be arsed to start a thread about this and have it derailed by the usual suspects but thinking about the constitutional monarchy vs republic argument - I think one of the main issues the republicans face is their option doesn’t offer much in the way of good cheer and what we get with the ‘happy’ side of the way the current royal family are run.

It’s like the advice when you are trying to change a bad habit or persuade someone to buy something from you, people gravitate towards the positive rather than the negative.

So not - ‘eating bacon will give you heart disease’ but ‘cut down on the processed meat and enjoy being able to run around with your grandchildren for years to come’

What’s the ‘happy’ image offered by a republic and elected head of state?

SORRY ! Just saw post above!!

Is it because you wanted to wear a plaster? 😂

(Sorry to hear of both seriously)

A plaster???? Are you a snowflake????

I agree with this. The pomp around the RF is a bit silly when you actually analyse it, but it is carried off with such conviction that it becomes spectacular and often moving. Republicans remind me of why we as a nation got bored with Cromwell. Been there. Done that. I have to say that’s what I find irksome about the Sussexes too. Their constant negativity and worthiness

Well looking at the current government, it would prob be something in line with their austerity type policies. Yuck.

Yes, some people are very vocal about what they DON'T want, but not so clear about what they are proposing instead - probably because it would become clear that their 'solution' wouldn't fix the problems they claim are the result of having a monarchy...

The thing is, tech bro billionaire rishi rich looks even more out of touch than the king tbh. As crazy as that sounds. So if we just had him, and no Christmas speech covertly highlighting food banks, rising poverty etc - who else would be bringing it up? No one in the current government I don’t think.

Has anyone seen King Charles III play by Mike Bartlett?

I think Rishi is a perfect example of wealth and connections getting you places (and into positions of power and influence) - getting rid of the RF is not going to make the issue magically disappear.

I don’t really want a republic, I’m not a staunch royalist either. What do I call myself? 😂

If anything at least you can keep track of it with the royals. Nepotism is easier to hide amongst the untitled elites

If anyone is in London then you need to go here. It has plates of cheese whizzing around the restaurant on a conveyor belt.

Ah now I can't agree with that

I do prefer the idea of a king than a president. It wouldn’t cost less, I think someone has explained previously how it would cost the same.

And France isn’t super egalitarian and lovely, I have family that live there. It’s more overtly racist in lots of ways in my personal experience.

I'm a contrary fucker!!!
Wasn't fussed about the royals , however the more republicans go on and on and ooonnnn!
The more I feel the need to don my best breeches , wave a flag and roar " god Dave the king " 🤴
