Marvellous news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will actually be visiting Melbourne! smile
Would be even more marvellous if they could announce that another pair of tiny Royal feet is on the way. Can't wait! blush

VB always looks so miserable though Ruf you would think she had woken up next to my DH instead of Day-Vid

can't stop laughing!
I bet your DH is lovely and doesn't have that many tattoos! (a turn-off for me)

Rufus no, the Native American did a good job and then went home
it's too long ago for a link

gillybob Sat 15-Sept-18 14:33:54

Blimey I didn’t know Neighbours was still going! I remember watching it when it first started with Kylie and Jason. I bet none of the original characters are there now are they annep ?

VB always looks so miserable though Ruf you would think she had woken up next to my DH instead of Day-Vid .....and she’s so stick thin......envy

Native American over here to do a rain dance
Did he get wet and die of pneumonia? grin
We have plenty of native dancers who prance around a lot, but all they produce are tourists.

annep Sat 15-Sept-18 14:23:03

Nooo! Diana that would spoil my favourite soap

Gillybob loving your comments ?

Jalima1108 Sat 15-Sept-18 14:07:11

He did wink Annie

Is the terrible drought affecting your food supplies, Rufus?

I remember in 1976 when we had a mini-drought here in the UK, someone in Bristol invited a Native American over here to do a rain dance.
It worked - perhaps Prince Harry could perform one? Although you need it done sooner than that I think - have you consulted your own rainmakers?

Good grief , intelligent, sultry and mysterious!

gillybob Sat 15-Sept-18 13:28:47

Are you having a giraffe rufus ?

shock

Rufus2 Sat 15-Sept-18 12:23:32

I think they are a lovely couple, particularly Prince Harry
You'll be as thrilled as everyone else to know that David Beckham is joining Prince Harry's team for The Games. grin
I do so hope that Victoria attends and even comes to Melb. I like her! intelligent, sultry and mysterious. wink

Rufus2 Fri 14-Sept-18 13:42:02

I hope they have a fabulous time in Melbourne
Grannygravy; Thanks for bringing this thread back from the brink. smile
Yes! Prince Harry is doing good things and the Invictus Games is just one example. But I can't recommend a Royal Barbie by the Yarra. Following our recent severe drought I imagine its colour has changed from its usual mid beige to a sort of green, although I haven't witnessed it yet.
Anyone could fall into it through wearing high heels, or they could easily be jostled accidentally into it and then require about 25 injections. sad
It's a responsibility I can't afford to take so I'll just concentrate on a Royal Barbie on Bondi beach as someone requested.

I heard they were making an appearance on a Neighbours episode and will look forward to them in Ramsay Street.

My sister lives in Melbourne so I do watch that particular soap.

Rufus2 Fri 14-Sept-18 13:18:20

No s**t, Sherlock!'
Merlotgran; Just consulted my Urban Dictionary q.v. but how was I to know he is actually a Republican? I gather he is not a Royalist; don't tell me the Roundheads have made a resurgence? sad

gillybob Fri 14-Sept-18 13:07:00

A republican? Moi?

Whatever gave you that idea? wink

I doubt they would go to live in America incase they bump into a member of her family. Who knows they could be sitting in a diner minding their own beeswax tucking into their Grits and in walks .... Daddy Thomas.... followed by a camera crew. Now that would be awkward.

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Sept-18 11:03:05

Going to OZ? Have they got criminal records?

varian shockgrin
Don't upset Rufus (or me)

Gillybob sounds like a republican
I would never have guessed!

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 10:10:46

Gillybob sounds like a republican ?,

merlotgran Fri 14-Sept-18 10:07:28

You sound like a Republican!

grin

I won't be the only gran chuckling at your remark, Rufus

As they say in the best circles,

'No s**t, Sherlock!' grin

Rufus2 Fri 14-Sept-18 10:02:05

they just annoy the hell out of me
Blimey, Gillybob; What have they done to upset you?
You don't know how lucky you are! grin They provide stability. You sound like a Republican! sador perhaps you'd prefer the revolving door system as practised by OZ PMs every year.? wink

varian Thu 13-Sept-18 18:16:57

Going to OZ? Have they got criminal records?

gillybob Thu 13-Sept-18 17:30:38

Blimey MiniMoon your poor dad must've been very bored in Turkey to care what the rf were doing (or not doing as the case maybe).

They don't amuse me in the slightest they just annoy the hell out of me.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 13-Sept-18 13:01:23

Prince Harry was instrumental in setting up the Invictus Games, and as one of our AC is a serving member of the armed forces, he and his pals are very proud and fond of him. He does a lot of unseen work with our injured military and those of other nations.

I hope they have a fabulous time in Melbourne and Rufus perhaps you could rustle up a good old Aussie Breakfast on one of the BBQ's along the Yarra?

MiniMoon Thu 13-Sept-18 12:59:45

Oh no! Don't send them to Australia on a permanent basis. I'd miss their antics. I'm not exactly a Royalist, but they keep me amused and I'd miss them.
When my Dad was away working in Turkey, he really missed knowing what the Royal Family were doing.

Anniebach Thu 13-Sept-18 12:09:26

Surely some country wants this couple, America ?

Jane10 Thu 13-Sept-18 12:00:39

Och no. I love Australia. The ozzies deserve better than that second rate pair of 'slebs'.

gillybob Thu 13-Sept-18 11:55:33

Oh that's a pity Ruf fingers crossed they love the place so much that they can't tear themselves away and decide to take up residence.

Now Rufus I am counting on you and your fellow Aussies to make them feel especially at home ! Ply them with Shiraz, let them cuddle a koala or two, cook them a BBQ on Bondi Beach..... whatever it takes to keep them there...... Pleeeeeeease. grin

Rufus2 Thu 13-Sept-18 10:56:24

Could you lock them in by any chance Rufus ?
'Fraid not; I could be charged with treason and deported back to the Old Dart on the next available plane and you wouldn't want that; would you???
I wouldn't! the climate would kill me. sad
Anyway, don't they own the place? When they're in
Melbourne I'll pass on your best wishes; I know the Duchess won't be wearing "beige", Probably Green and Gold for the Games. grin

Anniebach Wed 12-Sept-18 15:52:12

When did she tell you that Paddyann, did you know Megan was pregnant when they got married ?
