6Foot2 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Exciting stuff! Marginally more interesting: A reporter touches up his make up live on air:
aerospacemango Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I have to ask...... What IS Vladimir Putin doing outside the hospital? (Apart from applying make up?) 1
Andrew_C Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I'm going to watch paint dry.with hot needle stuck in my eyes...

teejay Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 She's probably at the 'WILLIAM YOU :censored: :censored:, IF YOU EVER COME NEAR ME WITH THAT THING AGAIN I'LL CUT IT OFF!!!' stage by now...
elsiegee40 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Someone else us tax payers will have to pay for!! Actually the Cambridges are paid for by Prince Charles from the Duchy of Cornwall income. They don't get money from the state. Whether or not Prince Charles pays enough tax is a separate issue.
teejay Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 They're a darn sight cheaper than having a President and the extra tourism etc more than covers the cost. Whichever side of the political divide you are on, the thought of President Blair or President Thatcher makes Charles look a welcome prospect;)
synaesthesia Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 If they don't call it Wilberforce, I shall be highly dissappointed.
elsiegee40 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 ive been watching news 24 all day I haven't. I have dipped into the BBC website from time to time which is how I found out. Having watched a couple of minutes of live coverage of bu99er all happening at the palace, we are now catching up with some of the backlog recorded on our Sky box
tmcd35 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Seems the BBC think its worth taking all programs off BBC1 tonight to show pictures of nothing happening outside Buckingham Palace! I wouldn't mind but it's the sae shit they're showing on their 24hr news channel. I was actually looking forward to the scheduled program at 9. And whats scheduled for 10? More news. Thats 2hrs of "its a boy".
elsiegee40 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 You can relieve the boredom by following the live feed on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23413944 Tracy from Brentwood emailed in! I suppose all this will keep going until a name is announced,
rich_tech Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Personally, I just cannot stand the inane way we devote endless amounts of TV time to this sort of non-news event, the bbc used to be decent really, but I can't help but feel its gone superbly downhill in quality over the last ten years now

I can actually feel my brain cells slowly dying the more I watch of this drivel. The cover of today's Private Eye magazine sums it all up. What else is there to say? http://i.imgur.com/d0XnXJK.jpg
GeeHubb Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Mey husband end I, are delighted to announce the arrival of his fourth grandchild at 12:18 a.m. this morning. Welcome to young Henry. Well that's what ours is called, don't know what they are calling the Royal one yet. And yes, I know he's missed the silver commemoration coin by 18 minutes. Still, I expect there'll be one on ebay soon. I promise not to go on about it for hours... There are no photos, no interviews with strangers in the crowd, no pictures of the outside of the hospital and no Town Crier in silly costumes. No guns firing, no bells ringing, no quotes from Aunties, Grandparents, Great-grandparents. No notices on any easels etc. etc.. 1

Congratulations @GeeHubb I trust parents and baby are doing well Edited July 23, 2013 by elsiegee40
GeeHubb Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Congratulations @Geehub I trust parents and baby aee doing well Apparently so, thank you elsiegee, believe they are coming home this evening. Awaiting phone confirmation. They're just over the border from you in E Sussex. Hoping to visit soon. 1
witch Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Congratulations @GeeHubb Apart from being fairly uninterested in the royal baby, I am really peeved because Monday was MY BIRTHDAY, not some squitty little royal brat's!! 4
mattx Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 The quotes on the BBC 'Have Your Say' are pure comedy gold... Please....just stop. New parents leave hospital smiling. The hospital cost £5,000 per night. The little toddler has had £2,000,000 spent on his new room. Neither will ever change a nappy. A private limo and entourage is waiting for them. All three will be lorded over from this day forth. The comfort the Windsor family enjoys continues to flourish. No wonder they're smiling. It's their fairytale, not ours. My respect for the BBC has hit rock bottom What a disappointment. After all the hype I was expecting it to have wings or a halo. Looks just like every other kid born
