Meghan Markle: Periods Affect Potential | TIME

Anyone suggested that if MM wants to resurrect her acting career she could try a Saxon The City remake?

Well spotted, MrsDanvers - but he is definitely a Saxon!

He was born Osbert the son of Ealdorman Uhtred of Bebbanburg, but was captured by the Danes after his father was killed and eventually adopted by them (hence the necklace). He’s the main character in Bernard Cornwall’s Last Kingdom series - that’s the actor that plays the character in the tv series.

Shots from The Last Kingdom are a bit of a goldmine here. For example:

Saxon the beach.

Follow my lead !!! Post a Saxon giff instead! 🤣

Ohh err missus!! 😳

Saxon !
Saxon !
You don't have to turn on the red light!

I loved all those books!
Also the tv series 😍.
I visited Bamburgh Castle for no other reason but to shout "Uthred, son of Uthred!" from the ramparts. This is why my family won't go anywhere with me.

I'm a history fan (as you probably gathered from me spotting the Thor's hammer) and read history and English at university. Even before that, but especially after, family banned me from watching historical dramas and films with them because, and I quote, 'you tut all the time and say 'that's wrong.' And I still do. And mutter 'rubbish.' And make notes in margins of books. Sometimes quite irate notes.

I don't think I've ever shouted from ramparts, though. I might give that a whirl, especially if there's a howling gale and I can shout defiantly into the wind.

My husband was very keen to do a tour of some of the Saxon locations featured in The Last Kingdom after we watched the series - he’d have happily been doing the shouting (I suspect there are a lot of people that do it! 🤣)

😂
their loss, you sound fun!

I'm not a history buff by any means but I do love historical programming and fictional historical programming, loved game of thrones outfits particularly John snow's fabulous furry capes and was really, really tempted to try the ikea rug hack I saw everywhere!!!
Luckily I was talked out of this by more sensible heads than my own ! 🤣

I knew there was a reason I liked you 😍

"Destiny Is All!" 🪓

Periods happen period! Whilst there is no need to feel ashamed, to suggest that they are a reason why girls are held back is utter claptrap. There’s too much snowflakery going on with perfectly natural events in a woman’s life. Women have dealt with them in far more difficult times than we live now viz. using rags and having to wash them out, living in crowded conditions. Consider how women in Gaza are having to manage, unable to access sanitary products; living in tents with several generations of family, and with latrines (if any) shared by hundreds of people.

It’s a great place to live 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my god, @MrsDanversGlidesAgain - were we separated at birth?! I did a History degree...and am a History teacher! I do like correcting things on tv, although it does annoy me. I often shout "no-one would have said that in 1543!" Or whatever. Plus, on these threads when people make historical errors. Nope.

Also; shouting defiantly into the wind? Would recommend.
My DC are adults now, but didn't really appreciate it as they were teenagers at the time.

Unlike Wairy Katey too lazy to do anything! 😂😂😂😂

Wairy Kate! Yes, love her!

Or did you mean Hairy Kate?

@WhatAreThey Mine is a 2022 Beaujolais-Villages. Yours?

She was definitely Wary Kate when it came to Meghan, and for good reason. Clever Catherine to have had the measure of That One.

Hmmm… Woman in Canada is talking shite about me on her gossip rag website.

Woman who lives in Canada is dating my brother-in-law.

Hmmm… I wonder who on earth could be feeding nonsense to someone in Canada?

Like a Saxon Machine!

Wary, wise Kate indeed.

A new book could be "Saxon Drugs and Frocks and Royals"

🤩Brilliant!
