H&M are currently doing a ‘Royal’ walkabout thing in Nottingham.

[SpottyAlpaca]

A crowd has turned out to see them. It’s currently being covered live on Sky News. Why on earth would anyone do this?

They aren’t working royals. They are just a pair of chancers who have scuttled back to Britain with their tails between their legs because they have died on their arses in the US. And now people are tugging their forelocks to them here.

People really are absolute fucking morons.

And yet here you two are decrying posters that you don't know 🤷‍♀️ haven't you got more to occupy yourselves ? 😂

Oh it doesn't work that way 😂

Have you seen the error of your ways now thanks to these helpful posts? 😂

I'm interested to know what the tickets were for that Liam confirmed the interviewed people would get after he thought the camera had stopped rolling. I suspect there's more to come.

I missed this. Where is it?

Yet you yourself indulge in this on quite a few other posts currently on MN. No I'm not stalking you before you try to suggest that - your very obvious interactions with others are at least not confined to this board.

A fair point I’d wager…

Brace yourself gander - the goose is lobbing sauce your way.

Ade we allowed to ask if the goose is hinged or not?

I thought they were both terrified for their safety?!

No it's not NONSENSE. It's my opinion which I'm entitled to have as you have yours. Her nose is very different - she had a very different nose in 2017 ( not the one she was born with) ( I think it was a lovely nose btw) and it is well known she has had nose jobs. She opted for the upturned nose fashionable at one time. She also had a boob job in the suitcase days. She can have that and indeed many people do . Beyoncé, J Lo the list is endless. What I'm saying is that I cannot believe there is less than 10 years between those photos.

Well that's your opinion which you are entitled to 🤷‍♀️

At least be honest - posters use the words " sorry you are triggered" to demean people when they can't think of anything concrete to say. It's the same with " are you bored" " obsessives " etc. I would have more respect for posters if they were honest and don't try to make out they are of a higher moral standard because they don't criticise others - oh wait though they do 🙄

It’s a valid point. Obviously being used to indicate mental unwellness.

No not mental unwellness, but a certain obsession with certain strangers. And I do think it is an obsession when you are exhausted by what two strangers do.

Wow you are full blown conspiracy theorist. It was a teenager who used one of the charities and young adults on the streets outside waiting to see them. A local main road was blocked by people trying to see them.

I agree I am uncomfortable with people criticising others, usually women, for ageing. I have criticised those who do the same to Catherine or even Camilla for having an older woman's body. We all age. It's natural.

1. You really pay attention to them.

2. Why are you exhausted? All you are doing is looking, watching, observing. How can that be exhausting?

3. You really, really pay attention!

Not really.

”Exhausted” is just a way of calling them tiresome.

And here you are, paying attention yourself.

I have colleagues who have ptsd.

I know they’d agree that the use of the word ‘triggered’ is indeed the least of their problems and would tell you the same.

However I also know that they agree with me in that people using it in a cavalier way to shut down conversation and patronise others minimises the word used to describe their setbacks. An absolute insult to what they have endured and what they still endure.

If you experience trauma and don’t mind? Great. But if anything trauma teaches you, it will be that everyone is different. The suffering will be different. The feelings will be different. The pain will be different. What affects people will be different.

Just because the use of a word doesn’t affect some does not mean it won’t affect others.

As others have said, using words like obsessed and triggered are patronising beyond belief and on here, I think that is why those specific words are used.

I understand the reluctance to be brutally honest and to use the words you really mean because that would result in deletions or bans but dressing it up like that makes people worse than the people they accuse of the same.

Most of us here can see it. Especially when one word is seized upon out of context and thrown as a jab time and time again.

It Is everything some are accusing others of and more.

@dulwich999 It’s that isn’t it? Seizing upon a word and using it repeatedly to demean others.

You can make any word demeaning if you use it enough.

It seems pretty pointless.

Seems pretty obsessive.

Such a great post, thank you. 🙏🏼

"obsessive" is another one

And here you are, paying attention yourself.

Fair enough - but I am only paying attention today (and yesterday). There is no way I could have put that "exhausting" list together of what they have/have not done in the years.

I think the unsettling thing is people paying constant attention to people they really dislike, and waiting for, and often, hoping for their failure and or humiliation.

That is the horrible aspect of it.

Yes and it all becomes very circular and repetitive. Is the point to derail from the topic?
