I have heard...

Is Rufus on the other side of the world ?

I've had an afro. 'Twas in 1978. I never needed a pillow.

No. It was pink blanket seen through the window of a Bentley and a police escort because it was HM the Queen in the car and the blanket was a rug over her knees.
Don't believe everything you read.

Are Jalima and Jamelia one and the same?
I think we should be told.
I'm confused now. What were we talking about?
Kettles? Afro hair? Jalemia's health? The odd folk who knit for the Royals?

My nephew has afro ginger hair. Thought I'd just say.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge is said to want a 4th child as she admitted to feeling broody when talking to a woman on a recent engagement.

I'm waiting to see if MawBroonsback pounces on you as she did on me for not putting the whole 'sarcasm' Oscar Wilde phrase, in a comment.

M is probably waiting for the kids 1st birthday and her waist to deflate to 26" before she puts in an appearance.
Suppose it's got afro ginger hair. Will baby be wearing a hat?

Sorry...Jamelia

Does Jamilia know?
She's probably doubled up in pain and half her height with her ribcage missing. Poor girl.

Hope you're not boiling a pan of water on the fire as I type
Breeze; Your crystal ball should be focused elsewhere, not on me! How come you knew I was boiling a saucepan? A Google search of dept. stores turned up several dozen models so I "rushed" out to get a hands-on opinion and what do you know? Almost the first one had a thumb operated lid lift which GN experts had recommended and it was also a peach colour. I've often been called a "peach" (amongst other things e.g. a tonic) so that choice was a no-brainer!
Talking of tonic (G&T), looks like you also rushed out and re-stocked, unless your attempts at spelling Jalima were your deliberate mistakes!

Someone say something funny shock even I've gone all serious. Help
Just finished watching B'mouth beat (literally) Spurs live on TV, 1-0. That will make our Michelle (remember her?; B'mouth beige cardis.?) feel happy.
Anyway, it's now 12.40a.m., Sunday and way past my bedtime, so off I go to dream of funny things to lift your doom and gloom!

So sorry Rufus - I have given myself a slap ?

I am off to cook said ribs now (great recipe. Was on celebrity Come Dine with me).

And still we wait.

I shall tune in tomorrow if the news has broken at last.

It's been an entertaining thread. Mostly.

Toodle pip.

Ooh treading on thin ice there Rufus. The site is called 'Gransnet' Grandads most welcome of course and I did enquire about you earlier. Worried you may be boiling a pan of water over the fire to make a cuppa

Honestly, you'll be accused of being more attention seeking than Meghan soon

Lovely community of grandmas?
CrazyH; how's that for discrimination? Don't Grandads count"? Please feel free to inquire about me anytime!

Grief, just realised I called her a pop star. What am I like it's because I'm cooking Jamelia's ribs this bank holiday

And thank you for not correcting me kitty and letting me realise by myself

And grandpas/grandfathers/poppas!

What annoys me is the fact that some people stand for hours regardless of weather to welcome them on their public appearances but they want ‘family time’ before announcing the birth. There are royalists who knit gifts , even some who feel motherly to Harry ! , I wouldn’t turn out for any royal visit , never have , but so many do.

Thanks kitty

I really love it when posters 'miss' each other and enquiringly after them. As breeze just did. Lovely community of grandmas?

They can do as they like, so long as the country isn’t footing the bill!
As it does, they should stick to tradition, and stop attention seeking!!
Just wish they would grow up.

Someone say something funny even I've gone all serious. Help!

jalima is around breeze.

And yes, before I get jumped on, she didn't handle the Diana thing well.

Grammeretto they should be bothered. Our Queen is an incredible woman who seems to fully understand that she was born into privilege and although some things remain private, she also understands you cannot hold that position of privilege and ignore your people.

Sadly, some of the younger royals do not have that good ethic.

A good example of 'entitled' that applies to a lot of young people these days.

Anyone know where Jamelia is? I like her posts and just realised I haven't seen her online for a bit.
