July 22, 201312 yr After a week of intensively promoting the BBC 1 program that was to on at 8.30pm today, the Beeb has wet it's knickers in excitement over royalty once again and are instead taking half an hour, or possibly more, to say "It's a boy". Of course it's a boy, I've been saying that it was for ages. How did I know? Well it's obvious. The politicians have been urgently engaged in preparing more equality legislation to ensure an eldest child if a girl could accede to the throne. That made it certain that Murphy's law would intervene and render their efforts a waste of time. They haven't actually got ratification from parliament yet, so they may put it on the back burner for a few decades now. P.S. Gone 9pm and the Beeb is still at it, half an hour obviously wasn't enough to announce a gender! . Edited July 22, 201312 yr by flecc
July 22, 201312 yr What's all the fuss about, it's only a baby and we've got too many as it is. This just adds to the problem. Now if she'd done something useful like perfect cold fusion, I might be interested.
July 22, 201312 yr i was all settled and ready for that program too - getting more annoyed as the minutes went by. I expect we'll get this for days now, if not weeks.
July 22, 201312 yr You are just Grumpy old "Victors" lol Its our future king and its a baby and his mother is lovely you should be saying Aaaaah.....sweet And look at all those buildings lit up in London with "its a boy" etc......I think its great Now then......any of you got ideas on names ? Lynda
July 22, 201312 yr You are just Grumpy old "Victors" lol Its our future king and its a baby and his mother is lovely you should be saying Aaaaah.....sweet And look at all those buildings lit up in London with "its a boy" etc......I think its great Now then......any of you got ideas on names ? Lynda That would've taken about 10 seconds, then we could've got on on with out programme. How could they last that out for an hour, and then do it all again on the News?
July 22, 201312 yr Actually, it is a form of brain washing. Go to Holland or Belgium where they do not make such a fuss of their royalty who are seen as the irrelevance that they really are in a modern state. Actually, I think that this over hyping is rather more serious in its effects. The concept of instant celebrity has permeated many levels of society. Look at all the hopeless 'wannabees' we now have, all expecting instant recognition for their questionable skills.
July 22, 201312 yr Now then......any of you got ideas on names ? Lynda Reece, Tyler, Storm or Cosworth are my tips for the baby's name. After all the mother is a descendant from common stock.
July 22, 201312 yr Reece, Tyler, Storm or Cosworth are my tips for the baby's name. After all the mother is a descendant from common stock. Let's just hope he's not ginger Edited July 22, 201312 yr by Twistedgecko
July 23, 201312 yr Now then......any of you got ideas on names ? Lynda Barry would be good - King Baz has a certain ring to it. The proud parents show off their new sprog... [ATTACH]6372.vB[/ATTACH]
July 23, 201312 yr Tsssss.....what a cynical lot you all are Mind you, its understandable of course, I realise it would have been different if he had been born with a Bosch motor between his legs,or even. dare I say, a Tonaro crank motor....... at least it would have given you all something you found far more enjoyable to argue and moan about Lynda
July 23, 201312 yr Definitely a Bosch for the Saxe-Coburgs, if that's how it's spelt :-) Up the R e p u b l i c, up the workers, up the... :-) Slainte, Comrade Mikeyski (cheaper than supporting the *banking* royalty though :-( )
July 23, 201312 yr Let's just hope he's not ginger Yes, let's hope so. That would be awful and could raise speculation that James Hewitt has been, "busying" himself again. New Royal baby is Prince Harry's half brother, now there is a headline.
July 23, 201312 yr Yes, let's hope so. That would be awful and could raise speculation that James Hewitt has been, "busying" himself again. New Royal baby is Prince Harry's half brother, now there is a headline. Thats an awful thing to say....... Lynda
July 23, 201312 yr Thats an awful thing to say....... Lynda It is and I am sorry. Anyway, it looks like we were all wrong about the name. The new baby will be known as, Prince Damien Satanus Vader Sauron Thatcher Joffrey Charles Manson Savile Dalek Windsor.
July 23, 201312 yr Welcome to the World, child. Perhaps during your life-time every child will enjoy the advantages of education, health care, clean water your family takes for granted - and maybe, the term 'Third World' will cease to have any meaning? Best wishes (and may your first vehicle be an e-bike!) Tom
July 23, 201312 yr It is and I am sorry. Anyway, it looks like we were all wrong about the name. The new baby will be known as, Prince Damien Satanus Vader Sauron Thatcher Joffrey Charles Manson Savile Dalek Windsor. OK,well, no matter what our opinions are on the pros and cons of royalty etc, this is an innocent new born baby we are talking about here........ Who is going to be the first of our forum retailers to gift an electric bike to the royal baby ?.......could be worth it for the publicity, after all, it would be an unusual gift for a newborn lol and btw....."James Michael Matthew Thatcher Windsor" sounds pretty impressive to me Lynda
July 23, 201312 yr The biggest disaster this country ever had was the Restoration. The hereditary grace and favour system permeates the fabric of this country like the root system of Japanese Knotweed. It's not the Royal Family any more; like the awards system and celebrity 'culture' they are a side show to the main event. The rampant greed of the haves and wannabe haves fuels the fires of corruption and irresponsibility. Greed it seems, really is good. It isn't American values we should be looking towards but modern European values.
July 23, 201312 yr and btw....."James Michael Matthew Thatcher Windsor" sounds pretty impressive to me Lynda What about (I'm giggling already and I know what's coming ) POWACYCLE WINDSOR !!!! Ha Ha Ha
July 23, 201312 yr Woman has baby wow what's new You bl**dy try it John.....then you might be more impressed, it takes rather more effort than changing a hub motor or fixing a charger problem you know..... and a tad more painful...... Lynda
July 23, 201312 yr You bl**dy try it John.....then you might be more impressed, it takes rather more effort than changing a hub motor or fixing a charger problem you know..... and a tad more painful...... Lynda I can imagine funkylyn Like trying to get a 10amh pannier rack battery through a buttonhole
July 23, 201312 yr Oh! too much information. Almost as bad as yesterday teatime, some guy giving a detailed explanation of exactly what was happening to Mrs Mountbatten-Windsor's plumbing.
July 23, 201312 yr Grr too, I set my PVR to record both programmes, and neither are there this morning.
July 23, 201312 yr I can imagine funkylyn Like trying to get a 10amh pannier rack battery through a buttonhole You probably cant really imagine....let me try to help you...... try imagining a large lead acid battery with handlebars and pedals attached trying to escape the confines of your nether regions as slowly as it can make it, usually accompanied by the father of said bl***y battery trying to persuade you to suck on a ******* sponge and telling you its all going well and would you like him to stroke your back........ I say this as one of those lucky women who has had her 4 children in the comfort of her own home, and never taking more than 3 hours to get the job done, and plenty of time and privacy to kick said sponge holder to the other side of the room out of the way Lynda PS.....and you think you lot have pain sitting on your saddle sometimes......ROFLOL.....
