Is it just me? but since when did a brother asking his brother to be his best man become BREAKING NEWS?

Panache Thu 26-Apr-18 10:54:05

Short on the real sort I suppose, although perhaps to the brothers this is the biggest and best news ever!!!

Don't know what brother has asked his brother to be best man lol, it must be a slow news day.
Breaking news - my nephew asked my son to be his best man! My son was highly honoured.

Yes Panache they must be short of real news if someone asking their brother to be their best man warrants a news flash.

This week we have already had :
BREAKING NEWS....
WOMAN HAS GONE INTO LABOUR !

followed by
BREAKING NEWS....WOMAN HAS A BABY BOY!

Next we will have
BREAKING NEWS.... PARENTS NAME CHILD !

Maybe we should have our very own BREAKING NEWS thread on Gransnet, jusnoneed then we can all share our special breaking news stories !

It could be interesting gillybob lol.
I'm looking forward to the speech my son will have to make, at the moment stag do ideas are more important, they are both lads who have a wicked sense of humour. My nephew was best man when his Dad remarried and the speech he gave had everyone in stitches.

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 11:13:25

I love humorous speeches jusnoneed much better than those that just drone on.

Stag Do + lads with wicked senses of humour = trouble grin

especially since the time of the wedding was arranged to allow William to turn up at the FA Final too several months ago.
(What am I doing! I have no interest in this at all grin )

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 13:08:10

Blimey, my phone didn't flash for that one lemon shock

I just got it btw..... Man eating fish, as in Man.... eating fish grin

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 13:09:08

We're all cracking up, that' s what yggdrasil grin

Anniebach Thu 26-Apr-18 13:19:53

Why wasn't my knickers breaking news ?

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 13:25:21

Maybe they're not quite tight enough yet Annie wink

Anyway is there anything special about them enough to warrant BREAKING NEWS?

I mean are they black and red silky numbers? Crotchless perhaps? grin

Anniebach Thu 26-Apr-18 13:32:59

Crotchless ? In Wales ? If it isn't snowing then gales

Anniebach Thu 26-Apr-18 13:35:08

They will not release the baby's name today, this with naming Harry's best man on the same day would over excite us.

ninathenana Thu 26-Apr-18 13:40:08

grin Annie

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 14:02:49

Yes I think you’re probably right Annie it’s all getting a bit too much for us to take in as it is . The royals will just drip feed us little titbits of news otherwise we might work ourselves into a frenzy !

Anniebach Thu 26-Apr-18 14:16:14

And with the wedding soon they should give every household a bottle of Bach Rescue Remedy to calm us down !

Teetime Thu 26-Apr-18 14:17:50

Breaking News - I had a Ham Sandwich for lunch with Tomato!

Anniebach Thu 26-Apr-18 14:31:32

Breaking News - no rain in Mid Wales since yesterday evening

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 14:47:17

Now that is BREAKING NEWS Annie !

Sadly we can’t say the same here in the North East of England .

gillybob Thu 26-Apr-18 16:41:23

More BREAKING NEWS.....

Another woman is pregnant !

jeez can we take much more in one week?

Anniebach Thu 26-Apr-18 16:52:22
