Harry and RAVEC #2

[Baital]

To continue...

Did Meghan and Harry attend the Time 100 ball? I didn't see a report of it so assume no. Reporting seemed to be obsessed with Blake Lively attending it ( and being on the list at all).

Never mind the absolute joke of a speech - that suit 😫 It was so, so awful. Did no one have the guts to tell her ? The Ralph Lauren people must be fuming. I suppose it was the Annie Hall type of look, but on Meghan it was a massive big beige sack, with the crotch of the trousers somewhere round her knees.

She wasn't at the ball @themightysossidge . Megyn Kelly was, as she was named on the 100 list, and was not holding back on her feelings about Lively and Markle when she was interviewed at the event.

She sounds as if she's mocking the people that 'find joy' in her ridiculous flower sprinkles.
Edited to add : We need someone from MN to interview her and ask 'what the fuck are you talking about?'

I have a question about these stupid fucking flower sprinkles.
So, you put some petals in water and freeze it. Stick the ice cube in your G&T.
Ice cube melts. You take a swig of gin and find yourself with a mouth full of soggy leaves?
And that's aspirational how?

Why is your ice cube melting before you've drank the gin? Not a problem I'm ever going to face. The only sprinkles that elevate my omelettes or scrambled eggs are of the crispy fried onion variety, that brings me joy.

Well it makes a change from the Proctor and Gamble story ...

Has it ever been established publically that the Proctor & Gamble exercise was one that the whole class did?

The P&G story has been totally discredited, it was set up
by her father. She wrote the letter as a class project there is no proof that P& G received it or acted on it.

If you look at this Inside Edition item featuring the original Nickelodeon item on MM (which was arranged by her father through one of his contacts), you can see it is filmed in her classroom with her classmates, and it refers to a social studies project in class where they looked at various commercials, including the P&G dish soap ad, and assess the messaging. Whether MM went the extra mile in writing to P&G, or whether all the kids did that, I don't know. MM's story (told to the UN) is that her dad encouraged her to write to them. The Nickelodeon item was supposedly filmed after MM had changed P&G's commercial. Weirdly there's film of MM writing the letter that supposedly changed P&G's commercial, but it may have been a recreation for the TV cameras, I suppose.

If you watch the whole Nickelodeon item, rather than the one edited for MM's part, there's a strong implication that all the kids in the class were involved in the writing campaign, not just MM

Here's the whole Nickelodeon item:

Did the link to Celeste Barber’s reel about eating scrambled eggs adorned with flower petals really get deleted? Extraordinary.

Celeste Barber is a very well known and very funny Aussie comedian whose online work revolves around her taking the ridiculous things influencers present online as their “elevated reality” and applying the real life lens to it, with hilarious results. She has nearly 10 million followers on instagram and has been posting for years.

Her was mocking the idea that adding dried flowers to scrambled eggs elevates the dish, when actually it just meant she ended up with mouthfuls of petals. Why on earth would it transgress the posting rules? Is satire not allowed?

No it didn't get deleted. I asked for it to be removed as when I linked it initially it seemed to link to my FB . With all the crazies out there I didn't want that to be out there.

I wonder if no one was willing to pay for tickets for them? I see bestie Serena was there.

... you mean "her speciality is stylistic-ality and no substantiality", surely?

I mean, c'mon! Make an effort, and elevate your language.

Don't forget the joyous dancing in the streets for her like they did for nelson Mandela!

Just made the mistake of looking at the Virginia Giuffre post, catching up with a cuppa tea and my god I had no idea there were so many raving nutters on Mumsnet.
Ets. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor you have blood on your hands thread.

Just had a quick peek and what immediately jumps out:
another Time 100 recipient, Angeline Murimirwa, an activist from Zimbabwe who has spent decades creating educational opportunities for girls in Africa.
In the same room as Harry, I hope she asked some direct questions about African parks based in Zimbabwe, specifically the rape and abuse of the women there and sentabale just across the border! Dr SC is Zimbabwean.
I have to be honest why do wealthy professionals do that shit, you honestly couldn't pay me to attend what NYT calls a petting zoo!

I agree with most of your post but I don't wish him any harm.

I'm also not sure what Charles can actually do to stop their "antics".

Don't hold back 😂!!

God only knows what she will be doing in 10 years but I don't see a successful career in business on her CV!

It's actually batshit. Familiar 'faces'!!

Creosote is for benches
And never for faces
Just one coat will drench
Use two just in case
Three is always OTT

Creosote is triggering for me. As a small child, I upset a gallon can of it over a newly concreted garage floor. I was sent to bed with no tea by my dad. It was the only time I remember him being really cross with me.

It triggered me once too! We had a newly-erected fence. We lived in a semi and the twats next door neighbours had decided to attach the brick housing for their boiler directly onto the side of ours, without permission, so the fence was entirely on our property and nothing to do with them.

The panels had been dipped before it was put up. Looked out next day to see Mr Twat applying creosote to his side of our fence!! Let me just said, I lost the plot! It was all leaking through to our side and ruining it!!

I've tried find it but I can't - the story about an MNer who accidentally creosoted a pigeon. (Sorry if that is triggering) It ended up with people imagining the pigeon going back to his friends and them saying "Paul is that you? " Does anyone remember that - it made me laugh at the time.
