I’ve just seen the calendar is $150!!! Who the hell is going to buy that, when it’ll be the equivalent of the Cadbury’s ones you can get for two quid?
Hope she donates the unsold stock to the food bank.

CluelessAmerican · 30/09/2026 22:44

Bemused, Maybe it's a region thing. but in my area they are everywhere like the grocery store, CVS, etc.

Just to add another outfit

When dressed as an archbishop the doll will perform wedding ceremonies (but only in back gardens)

Not gardens please. Only in yards.

Another window: bacon rashers (quote from With love, Meghan 'My bacon has all the boys running in from the yard.' I am concerned for myself that I find this hysterically funny.)

Wow! For that price I expect you'll get a Wallis Simpson look-alike kit thrown in for free

Whaaaaat à la Oprah. You could buy an OK beauty calendar and some proper chocolate for that, and still have change for some wine.

I've never seen them in a local grocery store. The NYC chain pharmacies - Walgreens, CVS, Target - now have everything locked up due to massive theft issues. I buy tooth paste, etc. from the 99 cent store as I don't have to ring for someone to unlock something. My local 99 cent stores don't stock Advent calendars although some have the Hannukah chocolate coins.

For $150, I can cook an entire vegetarian holiday dinner.

A former Royal Protection Officer is on Newsnight arguing for the Sussexes to be given publicly funded protection!!! He's using words like 'assassination', 'attack' and 'kidnap'. If the Sussexes are watching, they'll be thrilled.

On what grounds ?? And is it not too late? RAVEC would surely have made their decision by now anyway ?

BemusedAmerican · 30/09/2026 22:59

They need Dai Davies back on. I saw him with Kinsey Schofield a few weeks ago. He was scathing about HAM personal security.

I actually snorted when I read your post . Woke up the cat . 😂

I had to stifle a snort myself, all the clichéd images rampaging through my mind.. very 'Allo 'Allo 😂

Why are they more likely to be assassinated, attacked or kidnapped than all the other members of the RF who don't have publicly funded protection, or who only have it when on official engagements?

I imagine it is too late and this is Harry still stamping his feet and refusing to accept reality. Bet the former protection officer is in H’s pay; why else would he care enough about this to go on bloody Newsnight?!

I watched it and wondered how much he'd been paid to sit there straight-faced spouting sympathy and support for H&M. It's just as well he's already a former RPO.

The item was introduced with an account of the paparazzi outside school story, recounted as news ie no suggestion it is HAM-created.

The former RPO was the expert commentator after the news item. His view was that the high profile of HAM & Hamlets, current threat climate including Fairford, paparazzi in a position to reveal location of the school thereby increasing the risk of kidnap, and damage to UK's reputation if the son of the king were assassinated, argued for protection.

Others on the sofa, including Andrew Neil, chipped in, saying very expensive, resources finite, HAMs unpopular, they decided to live in the UK for reasons unclear, they can do what any private citizen does and pay for security themselves.

Surprisingly, there was no discussion on Ravec's timescales so things were left hanging. Publicly, nothing has been said about whether Ravec has made its decision. Could the paparazzi frenzy be a toddler reaction to being told 'no' by Ravec?

Paid by HAM? Paid by KCIII?

Happily, an interview with a former RPO will have no impact on Ravec's decision-making.

Absolutely not. In fact, she'd relish in the drama of it all. Weeping and wailing

I wonder if the advent calendars are coming from Compartés, like the previous chocolate did? They already do their own calendars - expensive but magical

Compartés calendars
