Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

A bit like the usual ‘uncharted waters’. Always makes me cringe.
Perhaps she should team up with Gwynneth Paltrow. She seems to speak a load of nonsense too.

And when Harry did the "top of the bus" interview with James Corden, he said that Archie had asked the Queen for a waffle maker for Christmas. He must have been about 2.

Being picky, but don’t think Archie asked for the waffle maker himself. Think the Queen asked Harry what A would like, H said he liked waffles for breakfast that Meg made for him, hence the useful gift.

Arch would probably have preferred a toy, don’t think many 2 year olds would appreciate a kitchen gadget, even one as advanced as young Mountbatten Windsor.

‘You can charter a path’. I thought people chartered yachts and planes.

I haven’t recognised much kindness, grace or fairness on her part.

I haven’t either.

“It's just never too late to start. You can be the visionary of your own life.
"You can charter a path in which what you repeat in your daily acts of service, in kindness, in advocacy, in grace and in fairness, that those become the very things that are recognised by the next wave of women, both young and old, who will also choose this moment to join the movement and make our vision for an equitable world reality."
Just so much gobbledegook.

I think these days it’s called word salad but gobbledegook is just as good. Because that’s exactly what it is. No concrete examples!

I think the next wave of women will have to look elsewhere .

Any help? No, probably not.

Quite, Calendergirl, but Harry chose to say that Archie had asked for it. I remember thinking at the time that it couldn't be true.

Any one else read that H&M were forced to ride around the city because the hotel they wanted to stay at, wouldn't give them the suite for free?
They then had to find a friend to put them up. I wonder who that was?

So where was their luggage then?

Just read this, Slacked jawed am I, what does any of it even mean I always knew "California Talk" has a tendency to veer into mind bending drivel sometimes getting lost in translation, but this has elevated all of that to a whole new level. Never mind Woman of Vision Award, although some might think Woman of Division might be more apt! Surely this speech should win outright the highly coveted "A Complete Load of Jackson Pollocks Award", even Gwyneth Paltrow at her most batshit, couldn't better it!

Woman of Division good one TerriBull.

On second thoughts, translating this into English might be enough of a challenge in itself

What is she on !

The D of S has a well deserved reputation for giving speeches that actually say nothing at all. Just drivel or as it’s now called “word salad” which I think is really apt as it is just a tossed together bunch of words. If you listen to any of her speeches/lectures you will notice she doesn’t actually say anything. I honestly don’t know why anyone thinks she says anything of value.

word salad, I love it!

I honestly don’t know why anyone thinks she says anything of value.

tickingbird it's the "Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome.
Everybody realises, but nobody will be the first to say 🤐

What I don’t understand is why she wins awards. Awards for what? Being a Woman of Vision? In what way has she been visionary? Would that be for slagging off the royal family? Or not seeing the value in family relationships, especially for young children? Or for becoming a multi millionaire for slagging off the royal family making a Netflix series about something, I’m not sure what as I didn’t watch it, was it for making a series about herself? I just wish I actually understood what she really got the award for. Maybe I’m lacking in brain power but I just don’t understand it! I do know she got another award for standing up tho racism. That’s a worthy award, except she didn’t. Stand up to racism I mean. She just accused the royal family of racism which is totally unproven. Wouldn’t stand up in a court of law, that’s for sure. I think it’s called hearsay. In other words unproven.

Harry has failed to win his claim for paying for police protection

As for their luggage, I expect they left wherever they were staying. And I did see that that they asked to stay at Diana’s favourite New York hotel, in the most expensive suite. Either for free, or with a discount. However I’ve no idea if that’s true. It comes back to hearsay.
If they wanted to stay there, if that is, I can’t understand why they didn’t just pay for it. It’s not like they can’t afford it. Anyway, we don’t know if it’s true, so probably best not to comment or the thread police might be back.

Would I get an A grade for c'est de la merde Foxygloves?
Someone else can do the other languages.

Yes I’ve just seen he’s lost the right to a judicial review. I didn’t think he’d win. Obviously the judge wasn’t influenced by recent events in Manhattan.

I don’t wish any harm on H & M and family but, even without the Met officers, I believe they’re safer in the UK.

I agree that it was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

I was wondering if it was me, getting more confused in my dosage and not understanding modern speech.

Join the movement?
Is that Women's Lib? Goals: Equality for women; General human rights for all people

Do we have to burn our bras again?
