I have heard...

Have the crowds begun to gather?
My DS's birthday on Saturday. It is a lovely time of year to have baby.

Yes, I heard the surrogate baby idea - hence why she's not having it in hospital. Have also heard the Prince William having an affair rumour (lots of it to be found on the internet). Hope it's not true - Katherine looks so thin and haggered these days, but maybe that's just 3 children stopping her from sleeping properly!

Hoping GG54's sparky is wrong as I have twenty quid on a girl called Alice. Although I think I still get paid out if it's a boy called Alice

And before I get jumped on, I put bets on Will and Kate's 3 times and got it right twice (Boy called George/girl called Charlotte) but gave my winnings to Cancer Research.

Although I may spend this payout on gin

Do you do the lottery Breeze? Think you should and then, because I gave you such good advice, share your winnings.

Well done Rufus! 3 apostrophes all in the correct places!!

Nonnie I remember that Chinese whisper!

I already do nonnie. Any winnings go in the gin fund

I did give one lottery win to Maggie's when my dear sister was raising funds for them. And do my monthly cancer research and dogs trust. But everything else in the gin fund

I do love the humorous responses to this post. But why oh why do some people have to be so nasty, nit-picking, or simply so far up their own backsides when responding? I too love correct grammar, but does it REALLY make a difference in replies on a forum like this?

Sorry I don't care enough to listen to gossip from an electrician.

breeze damson gin for me please.

If she's right there will be no living with her ?

Its difficult living with her when she's wrong

I don't believe a word of the Prince William rumours.

It will be on me nonnie

I danced with a man who danced with a woman who danced with the Prince of Wales ......

Reading all this is it any surprise they want a private life?

No...surely in this MAD politically correct world it or they will have to make up its or their, own mind as to what gender it/they are ……………...ha ha ……..not allowed to be boys or girls any more ……...its a crazy mixed up world for LOLA L.O.L.A. LOLA …………….

Thanks breeze I have some rather nice glasses we can share!

We'll probably just get a bulletin about the birth and that will be it.

That's the norm for Royal Announcements.

I work in a store on a USAF base. You would not believe what the front page of National Enquirer says about the royal family.... Americans actually believe what is written...

....and Tweeted!

I remember that so I must be old too?!

That was in reply to nonnie!

Well done Rufus! 3 apostrophes all in the correct places.!!
Mum!: Please don't tell me we've yet another retired school teacher inspector in our midst, but thank you for your generous marking of my punctuation! It's been a life-long legacy of my excellent grammer school education at a boys only school, no distraction from girls, no TV and we "read" Latin to improve our English, like what I've said before. Some female teachers were allowed because men were away fighting WW2, but they only taught "soft" easy subjects like Geog., History and now look how useful they've turned out to be, especially Geog! (how's my grammer going? Awesome, cool, modern?)
As you can tell, I've also graduated from the Ernie Wise School of English Useage (Signwriting our Specialty!)

Rufus2 has no one taught you sarcasm is the lowest form of wit I, however, am a big fan of sarcasm. I use it often and quite frankly, would not be without it. So (or is it therefore I thoroughly enjoyed your post.

It contained said sarkiness, bad grammar, spelling errors and a general air of 'couldn't give a stuff'. All of which I found entertaining and appealing

Go to the top of the class and give yourself a gold star
