All the politicians and in some cases their wives look funny. Harry looks like a hungover ragamuffin.
The royals look quite jolly.
The music was amazing.

It was a lovely service , I like tradition when it comes to these events

annsixty Mon 28-May-18 19:06:06

Why would you I wonder?

paddyann Mon 28-May-18 19:11:00

People with no lives...latching onto people who dont know they exist and couldn't care less...except when their cash cow dries up .Sad .

oldbatty Mon 28-May-18 19:19:17

annsixty.....dunno? just felt like it. It was quite interesting as a screen shot of life 7 years ago.

oldbatty Mon 28-May-18 19:20:42

I do have a life. I have a huge amount of stress at the moment. I'm not obsessed with the royals but I was idly flicking around on you tube.

What are we meant to be looking at?

I loved Williams wedding. I was just watching the Queen at the Chelsea Flower Show. She was smiling away and looking very happy. Unlike her attitude at the more recent Royal wedding. Says a lot...

oldbatty Mon 28-May-18 19:48:06

We are not meant to be looking at anything in particular. I was just having a look and found it interesting to see the different style and the various guests. David Cameron earning a round of applause for example when he arrived. Just silly little bits and pieces that interest me and pass the time.

annsixty Mon 28-May-18 19:51:20

That's fair enough oldbatty just curiosity on my part.

Besstwishes Mon 28-May-18 19:54:13

Good for you oldbatty I often find odd snippets on youtube that make me laugh or cheer me up.

paddyann people with no lives? be very grateful that your life is so full that you have no time to look at things that other people enjoy. Long may it last.

It was interesting to watch Countryfile the other evening - your post about tradition reminded me of that anniebach.

I, too, like tradition and that fact that the RF saw themselves as custodians of Windsor Great Park and all that they have done to preserve the trees, the wildlife there for the enjoyment of all and long may it continue.

Jalima1108 Mon 28-May-18 20:05:35

and as I watched it I thought that a President, even if he or she lived there for one or two terms, would not have the same continuing interest and investment in all of that - they would take what they could get whilst in office then be off to make more millions on the world stage.

Jalima1108 Mon 28-May-18 20:06:38

and that post directed at oldbatty was very unkind paddyann.

Anniebach Mon 28-May-18 20:10:15

I thought Paddyann’s post sad

M0nica Mon 28-May-18 21:18:07

paddyann, what a nasty post. Most of the people watching replays are probably nicer than you.

Fennel Mon 28-May-18 22:07:11

" David Cameron earning a round of applause" ?? shock

Anniebach Mon 28-May-18 22:15:47

Paddyann hates the Windsor’s but her attack on them were also an attack on oldbatty who was just chatting about something she had watched.

Keep chatting oldbatty x

Chewbacca Mon 28-May-18 22:28:38

I thought Paddyann's post was just plain rude and spiteful. No call for a comment like that whatsoever.

Bellanonna Mon 28-May-18 22:33:43

I too found her post very rude and insensitive. She should apologise.

MotherHubbard Mon 28-May-18 22:41:54

PaddyAnn why hate the Windsors? What have they done that is so wrong? They have had no more choice than you or I into the family they were born. They are just people like you and I living the life they are given. I see from your posts you have a very happy life, why so bitter about the lives of others?

phoenix Mon 28-May-18 22:43:49

Paddyann unpleasant post, perhaps it wasn't directed at oldbatty, however if it was meant to be a more general comment then perhaps you might like to think about how you word things.

Chewbacca Mon 28-May-18 22:49:14

I have no issue with Paddyann deploring the RF, and all that it stands for; she's perfectly entitled to her opinion on that. What I find unacceptable is her condemnation that oldbatty "has no life" and "latches on to people who don't know she exists" and that, by definition, means that she is "sad". Who does she think she is to be making such personal and spiteful remarks to such an innocuous and innocent post? I too think an apology is called for.

petra Mon 28-May-18 23:04:29

MotherHubbard
Please don't give her a reason to have another rant. angry

Bathsheba Mon 28-May-18 23:05:33

For that matter, Paddyann, why come on GN and chat with people you've never met, probably know nothing about, and who probably couldn't care less about you?
