Royal Baby!

[Wowbagger]

I just want to see what it's called.  Henry is out; there hasn't been a Henry since VIII, because he was a bit of a bad 'un.  Likewise James; they were both twats, John was seen as a usurper (and was a nasty fox in Disney's Robin Hood) and the only proper Queen Mary was a psycho.  William, Charles, Elizabeth, Anne and Edward are already in the close family and it could get confusing.  My money's on George or Victoria, both of which are relatively untainted and had decent last owners.  Outside bet; they revive some funky Saxon names like Harold, Alfred or Ethelred.  Or, best of all, Arthur.

Of course, it could be Charlotte.

I suspect that I am in the minority when I say that I genuinely do not give a fuck.

Depends on whether it turns into another camping trip, surely?

I hadn't thought of that in my feeling of looming dread of the next 6 months or so. Especially if she is going to spend the whole time puking - we're going to end up with hourly updates on her vomit.

Let me know where we're camping . *goes to hide head under pillow*

The big problem is that you cannot predict with any certainty that the period of gestation will not terminate prematurely: imagine the news bulletins should the royal contractions start to get too close together! Should the regal amniotic fluid escape early, will the Royal Philharmonic be there to play Handel's "Water Music"? Go camping by all means, and depending when it is, I'd like to join you, although having just looked up the dates, we may be in Western Scotland anyway.

Except William's brother of course, or do you mean only in the direct line of succession?

The latter.

The BBC are crawling up the royal passage like nobody's business, they read out a tweet from that racist toilet puncher ffs.

When is it due?  We cannot organise a trip into the wilderness without this critical info.

I wonder if I'll live long enough (or more accurately outlive the existing the royals) to see the new Royal baby come to the throne.

The name of the baby doesn't affect the name of the reign, I think they get to choose another name for their 'King' name. I think Charles has already said he wants to be a George. Ideally William would then be Bungle, and then the new sprog Zippy.

I suspect that those who don't give a fuck may not be in the minority, but we'd never be allowed to know that for a fact.

Presuming no-one cops it in the next 9 months, we'll have a queue of three for the throne.  We British really do love our queueing, don't we?

Possibly (but not probably) on a national view.
Almost certainly not in this community. I'm bored with it already.

Woman has sex, gets pregnant, vomits.



Go back to sleep people.

It won't be as long as nine months. Max 7, more like 5 or 6 - the Vomiting may have precipitated the announcement, but not by that much. Plenty of time to bury bad news though. Bet the chancellor is hoping it'll last.

[clarion]

I've been puking all weekend and Kate Middleton didn't say owt, so I don't see why i should give a stuff when she makes the technicolour yawn.

[Rhys W]

No wonder she's feeling nauseous, she's eating for one now.

There's a whole thread devoted to them in the OT Gallery.

The press seem intent on proving Leveson right, looking at the feral pack round the hospital.
Public interest defence?

Feminists rejoice - Kate Windsor has been upgraded from a hairstyle on legs to a bump on legs. 

[Oscar's dad]

Blimey, you lot are predictable!  There was me wondering if I'd be surprised by pages and pages of yacfers being pleased for a couple who are clearly in love having their first sprog that they obviously want.  And there's the millions of UK tax payers who celebrated Will and Kate's wedding who will be chuffed too. 

I'm no great royalist and I suspect the the Royal Family has done bugger all for me.  But neither do I think they've done me much harm.  Good on you Wills and Kate, hope it all works out ok.

But it doesn't fucking matter. No-one has wished them any harm. We just don't want to be part of it because it's none of our business.

My daughter is due to give birth a couple of months in advance of Ms. Middleton. That matters to me, but I don't expect anyone from outside my family or my daughter's immediate circle of friends to take any notice.

[Oscar's dad]

Granted it doesn't really matter, and I accept no-one has wished them harm.  Its just that I'm pleased when I hear of people that have had some good news - irrespective of who they are.  There's enough crap flying around and today I've been dealing with my own fair share so a bit of good news is welcome.

I'm no less pleased to hear about your forthcoming grand child.  Number 2 isn't it?

[Rhys W]

Oh but it is - we're paying for the bloody sponger!

People can post what they like. It's a forum. We can post about things that are not our business, and many posters do, many times.

Occasionally people here allow others to have contrary views. Even if, apparently, they are wrong.
