It's very sad to hear the details about the death of Thomas Kingston, no-one really knows what goes on in someone's life, as we were saying. He was talented, handsome, wealthy, married to a clever, beautiful woman with connections to royalty. People would look at him and be so jealous! Very sad.

I too have been on the end of the " it's alright for you brigade" @AliceOlive !
Mine was particularly upsetting, when dh left the forces he joined a company that still went to active war zones ( a lot , for months!) , this meant he got paid a very large amount.
I only worked part time because frankly my wages were less than his taxes.

The jealousy and comments I had to put up with from a particular colleague was awful!

Everyday I smiled and laughed!
Every night I cried and wondered if he was alive, was he coming home!

I never watched the news till recently because, it was torture , this well meaning cow , would come in and say " have you seen the news? Bombs were dropped! , I hope your dh wasn't there! "
What made it slightly stupid was her geography was shit !
He'd be in Afghanistan, the bombs were in Iraq, he'd be in Iraq , the bombs were in Afghanistan!
I've never forgotten or forgiven her!

That’s shocking, @jeffgoldblum how insensitive of her. Just think of the stress you were already under.

@jeffgoldblum @AliceOlive Sorry you both had to go through that, just because others couldn’t effectively manage their own fragile egos. 💐🧀

It is strange how some people want special consideration and concessions for Harry's mental health problems, but William gets cut no slack at all. I think Diana leaned on him a lot, he was 15 when his mother died, such a sensitive age, and he knew about her ups and downs. He shouldered a lot.

To hear Harry - and some others - talk , it is as if he was the only one who lost a parent . William is only 2 years older and must have gone through just as much distress but , unlike his brother , he hasn’t milked the situation for money ..

RoyalIyRhubarb · 01/03/2024 19:57

Yeah, but Harry was the only one who lost his mum who was Princess Diana…. Oh, wait…

Slightly off topic - I know we’ve previously chatted about narcissism, cult of personality and how it impacts society etc. Thought I’d flag the jury experiment on channel 4. Wasn’t well put together in a lot of respects, not a solid watch tbh.However was interesting to watch groupthink in action, domineering people influencing, people self righteous in their opinions, using personal experiences to sway others, shaming and censoring differing opinions etc., it was all more emotive rather than rooted in cold hard logic.

This disquieting Channel 4 series reveals the shocking way some men still talk about women.

Hello stranger! How are you? Love the dragonflies, beautiful (or are they damselflies?)!

Beautiful photo!

ArcaneWireless · 01/03/2024 22:11

Should say the photo is not mine and was taken by someone with skills. 😊

Who probably doesn’t eat their body weight in cheese annually. 😏

AliceOlive · 01/03/2024 22:13

I suspect I eat my own weight in cheese quarterly.

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 01/03/2024 22:18

I had some Ossau-Iraty for lunch today. How something that smells like unwashed feet can taste so nice is a miracle of nature.

Maireas · 01/03/2024 22:24

I love the dragonfly picture. So beautiful ❤️

RoyalIyRhubarb · 01/03/2024 23:31

According to Twitter, William is now a serial killer 🤦‍♀️

Turtlerussell · 01/03/2024 23:37

Love the dragonflies!

Serial killer eh, they’ve clearly been watching too many true crime docs on Netflix

And they say he’s lazy with no work ethic. Serial killing takes a lot of effort and planning.

Mostly he’s killing their dream of the Royal Republic of Harold The Fool.

Twitter is crowd sourcing the next Netflix script. It’s wild.

I think we should formally reinstate this medieval habit of giving monarchs and princes and politicians nicknames - especially if they're disparaging. Let the so and sos know what we think of them.

Need to think carefully on the names, though. Might be easier to kick them out if they have the wrong name, that's what the republicans want.
