Times article asking is 2024 the year of the bores. They have many categories, including swiftly bores but Meghan has a category all to herself:

As a mother’ bores

The Duchess of Sussex, queen of the “as a mother” bores, was on peak AAM form at a recent children’s hospital fundraiser in Los Angeles, demonstrating exactly how it’s done in 2024. “From my standpoint as a mother,” Meghan said, establishing her unique perspective straight off the bat, “no one wants to be in a position where you need to go to a place like this.” (Amen. Not great for the children, but let’s focus on the mothers.) “But if you have to, the best place in the world you could go would be Children’s Hospital LA.” Hmm. See what she did there: made a celebration of the hospital staff’s work quite a lot about herself AAM.
And Meghan is merely the icing mother figure on the top of the cake of modern life. Lately, this habit of identifying yourself AAM is rife and licence to bore anyone whenever you choose on any subject, because “AAM” is a shutout. “AAM, I really relish my alone time.” “AAM, I really want to see peace in the Middle East.” “AAM, I think growing your own vegetables is important.” “AAM, I see and feel more clearly.” Sentences beginning “as a woman” have the potential for boring, but with AAM there’s no way around it. Prepare to be off-the-scale bored.

Most likely to say “For me, there is nothing more rewarding [hand on heart] than seeing my little ones eat my homemade pesto.”

Least likely to say “Let’s not talk about the kids.”

It does seem to be becoming a creative writing exercise rather than a discussion.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/10/2024 14:03

She hurt the Queen and Prince Philip in their very last weeks/months on this planet, and branded her sister-in-law and father-in-law as racists to the world

I'm intrigued that the few remaining supporters didn't make more of that last one, CoffeeCantata, and can only wonder if they avoided it knowing perfectly well that Meghan's credibility was already shot to ribbons

Normally I'd have expected "Scobie made it up / it was nothing to do with her", except that the lies told about collaboration for Finding Freedom will have blown those out of the water

As already said, once someone's shown to have lied repeatedly the audience tends to wither for the latest ones and all that's left is silly noise ... entertaining perhaps, but hardly anything to admire or respect

Think it’s quite obvious that there are a lot of posters that don’t understand British satire.

Very tiresome

I don't normally comment on SPAG, but the use of your for you're tells me everything I need to know.

I have never met a brownie recipe that I haven't liked. Brownies, especially hot and with ice cream, are NEVER common.

Citrusandginger · 27/10/2024 20:30

Twisty, I wasn't getting at you. Merely observing the tiresome your all haterz posts. I can't tell if it's bots, people who don't have English as a first language, or people making genuine mistakes. But it's very apparent.

True. There's one that seems to be fine for a while then you get some really random groups of letters and phrases - I always wonder if their battery's playing up.
Could just be pissed, of course.

True. I forgot pissed. My bad Blush

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout

The Oprah interview with the fabricated headlines made out the British public were racist

That's a good point.
It's no longer enough to have a go at people who are critical of Meghan - there are some very unpleasant posts about our whole "salty little island".

Yes, that particular interview claim laid the groundwork for a way for H&M to shut down legitimate criticism by portraying an entire nation as racist.

Oh give it a bloody rest. You don’t know the woman.

We paid for her bloody wedding so, no, we won't!

Same here. Absolutely disgusting and vile comments about a woman they don’t know. And what they think they know of her is twisted.

A Sickness that should be addressed by mods but is not.

We know quite a lot about Meghan - out of her own mouth, from her husband's mouth, from his book, via their docudramas. Lots of dramatics, lies, hanging on to perceived slights, perjury, exaggeration, bullying of others. etc etc.

And recently from the mouths of 12 of her employees (at least one who is senior and current) who have exposed her consistent and persistent pattern of workplace bullying in The Hollywood Reporter.

Disgusting, vile and twisted behaviour.
