As Ever #2 Whatever

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

I noticed the old thread is almost full so thought we could start a new one to carry on the discussion about the rebrand and merching.

Are you an ‘As Ever’ or ‘Whatever’?

Thank goodness! No-one ever uses lamps properly. We need Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex for this!

There is an authentic Meghan - the one behind closed doors.

We have consistent evidence of her MO, her words and her behaviour from the dozens of people who have witnessed her persistent bullying, smearing, cutting off of family, friends, colleagues and staff as reported independently to numerous and separate credible publications/instituations - BP, Valentine Lowe, The Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Access Hollywood, Vanity Fair.......as well as from her own mouth OW, NF Docuseries, Spare.

She is an authentic bully.

She has an ability to 'charm' and gaslight those she up the food chain who will benefit her statuc - like many classic narcisists but she has a fragile ego and empty self - and many can now see that she is grandiose and delusional - she falls out with everyone eventually once they have served their purpose.

Like Trump wanting to be King of the World once he achieved POTUS - MM wanted A list billionare status after BRF. Whatever height they scale its never enough to fill the ego of the empty narc self.

Authenticity & self deprecation abound. In M’s defence I think she sees anything less than perfection is failure.

I would never minimise the trauma of miscarriage having had 2 but I was bewildered about Harry burying the foetus in the garden

I wasn't aware of this bit, @Mylovelygreendress, but while I don't know if it also applies to foetuses California's one of the few states where the burial of loved ones' remains isn't usually allowed on private land:

https://www.trigard.com/blog/can-you-bury-a-loved-ones-remains-on-personal-property/#:~:text=Arkansas%2C%20California%2C%20Indiana%2C%20and,land%20into%20a%20family%20cemetery.

"Arkansas, California, Indiana, and Louisiana have regulations stipulating that all burials must occur in established cemeteries. The only way to conduct a burial on private property is to convert a portion of one’s land into a family cemetery"

This is one of the things about her that is the most unfortunate and disappointing IMO, she has zero understanding or appreciation for culture or anything of high calibre or good taste. She's a vapid, vacuous, empty vessel with the aspirations and life goals of a 13 year old air-head. Can't help but feel if Harry had married someone like Cressida (I'm sure she feels she had a very lucky escape) than she would've had the gumption and wits to appreciate and make use of the incredible honours and opportunities that were given to her on a plate.

Here we go, bingo card attached (but I guess there might be the usual photo delay)

@MaggieMistletoe I still want to give M the benefit of the doubt, if your view correct why didn’t H realise it eventually? If you look back at what he said about Chelsy he seemed so balanced somehow. If she is this ‘bad’ will the scales fall from his eyes?

@NormaMajors1992coat - Do you know I almost want to print that and get it laminated .

"communicates via banana" 😂

Not read whole thread but I can't believe no one (well maybe just Motherland / Amandaland fans) has drawn a parallel between ARO / As Ever and Hygge Tygge / Senous

Haha, available via email if anyone wants it 😂

Yes! A few posters have. Tbh when I heard about NF stocking her products in a physical shop, sorry store, I instantly thought of #shitshop!

Is it just a terrible coincidence (the similarity between meghans trailer and Pamela’s) or could one have even had the opportunity to copy the other?
The kitchen is nearly identical, and even the name….

You can't unsubscribe. I mischievously wrote to them using the email address you get if you click on Privacy on the website asking about data protection (what they were going to do with my email address sent to ARO last year), why I hadn't received a welcome email from AE and why I can't easily unsubscribe from AE. No reply, of course, or even an automated reply. All of this reinforces the near certainty that nothing is thought through and that AE has been hastily bashed together.

That Pamela Anderson trailer is so incredibly similar! did she definitely film hers first?

Plenty of failures for her to consider - crumpled clothing, brand launch and re-branding car crashes, lies exposed, inability to sustain family relationships.

Yes. She certainly does.

Search for HaM TV on YouTube and it comes up.

It really is lie upon lie upon lie. She must have a pathological need to fabricate. Why has she not learnt that a lot of her lies can be disproved easily? How is Harry not mortified by wife constantly being shown up as a liar?

It's extraordinary. Usually, if someone is shown consistently that they lie, then all trust is gone.
Although, to be fair, the contents of Spare were hardly accurate.
You'd think he'd at least check when the Queen Mother died.

I did think until a while ago that it was purely that his pride wouldn't permit him to admit she's a nightmare and the marriage is unhappy. But now I see them more Blake Lively and Ryan Renolds.. a toxic duo who probably have no problem being married to someone who isn't particularly nice. I think H&M feed each others egos, I actually think he likes her well enough to put up with all the chaos, lies and stress. He's thrown everything else away so he'd have to be absolutely desperate not to stick it out and make the best of it at this point.

@NormaMajors1992coat Your bingo card is a thing of great beauty. Thank you!

Poor food hygiene 😂 😂 I've ticked that already with the dog at the table.

@Stickystickysticky

Back to the deletion talk. I got deleted for questioning the suicide ideation - having at that time been involved with caring for a very serious metal health crisis of a family member - I criticised their privilege (not the illness, everyone can get ill, but money = treatment) the best the NHS could offer my family member, was to have a bath and have a hot chocolate. On the account they couldn't be left alone a bath was out of the question - and it's hot chocolate not magic. If only we could have afforded in patient treatment.

This is very true.
