Summer Doldrums

The definition of doldrums is about stagnation, inactivity and or depression.

Well, they aren't inactive.  We don't know about depression.  Stagnation?  well maybe as it refers to not flowing or moving.  

They sorta have some stuff going on - her second season (side note: uproar about Chrissy Teigen and bullying) and he's coming back to the UK for something but other than that?  Not much is shaking and baking from them.

However, there is an ever so slight uptick on articles which point out something negative.  Even on both sides of the pond.

Inactivity, on the surface at least, but doesn't * had something brewing all the time? Projects,or half baked projects that never amount to much but she's not very productive, and Harry is even less. I suppose we shouldn't expect much for a while but there again, she/they could surprise us. You never know what to expect with these two.

There were a few blinds over at CDAN that she was seen with a very tall, very muscular guy. Some people are saying it's a pro basketball player. Has anyone seen anything about this?

A heads up - the new book about the Entitled: Downfall of the House of York is out on audiobook and kindle today.

Hi Nutties. I read interesting comment on SaintMeghanMarkle:

Someone opined that had Huggie not rushed to marry Druggie, she would’ve gained the advantage as girlfriend of running in the right circles, being in public eye, and meeting scads of truly powerful billionaires and upper level millionaires, and thus would’ve had good chance of nabbing and marrying one.

Instead she grabbed, and got pinned down with Harry before realizing his overall lack of anything worthwhile.

Now she is stuck with him.

She has Markled herself.
It seems that the baroness is going to educate the uneducated Americans about how dumb they are, about masculine toxicity and misogyny and above all about how intelligent talented and beautiful she is and people should listen to her and learn. Hollywood does not give her jobs because of old men and so on and so on.....

Both Mike Zeroh and Amber Exposé tell about her new career.

First time I've seen this. She used to mimic Julia Roberts, now she's doing Princess Catherine's laugh.

'the baroness is going to educate the uneducated Americans' - but isn't * an uneducated American? (Yes, she went to Northwestern, I know...)

further down in that thread, there's a link to her entire video in its entirety. That was her visit to Malawi.

Yes, madam had the chance but,
even the dolt hoorays and the billionaires would have turned her down
No personality or humour

@Magatha

A Moveable Feast, another brilliant display of play on words.
We loved watching Foyle's War, very well written and acted, sensitive. Michael Kitchen was fantastic as Foyle and Anthony Horowitz is a superb writer.
@Magatha,
I didn't know that about Whicker!
It's often said that during the war, ordinary people did extraordinary things - several examples come to mind:
John Counsell, the person I knew of as actor/manager at the Theatre Royal, Windsor (which I've mentioned before) was the person who drew up the German Instrument of Surrender in May 1945.
Also, one of my former colleagues had been a `backroom boy', at Stalag Luft III of `The Great Escape' fame , as I discovered only a few years ago.

https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/year-10/great-escape/ which points out that the US contribution to the events depicted was much less than the film would have us believe. It was ever thus - cracking Enigma and D-Day f'rinstance.

BTW, somewhere on SMM today, here's mention of `Professor Stanley Unwin' in connection with *'s use of English - remember him? Hilarious!
Maneki Neko said…
I didn't know about Amory either.
I used to watch 'Whicker's World', very interesting it was.
What's '*'s use of English', pray do tell!
@Maneki Neko
Mea culpa - I should have said `Markle's mangled misuse of English'.
Maneki Neko said…
Thanks. I remember now she confused archetype and stereotype.
A few examples here https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1irws9f/do_you_speak_meglish/
That SMM post nails it - thanks, Maneki

@Wild Boar

And let's not forget that *'s degree was in 'theater and international studies from Northwestern's School of Communication'. I would have thought that correct use of English, and concise English at that, was essential for clear communication.
Extraordinary, isn't it?
Did the syllabus focus on non-verbal communication, pictograms perhaps? There's no evidence of her acting ability, nor skill at mime, expressive dance, musical expression or expressive visual representation ? Nor of successful communication in languages other than English. Horse whispering? Whistling to sheepdogs? Telepathic communication with other life forms elsewhere in the Universe?
Was her degree a participation award? Was it based on continuous assessment that she could plagiarise? Did she blackmail the examiners?
It sure beats me.
PS There's a cracker of a comment on SMM at https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1mto2go/prince_philip_whispered_four_brutal_words_to/
It's an image of a note from Prince Philip.
At risk of wandering into forbidden political territory, I'd like to point out that the KIng has surely far graver matters of State on his mind at the moment than the problem of his younger son. The outlook in Europe is dire. God help us .
"I am very educated and independent woman" tells that heroine of our times and she is going to pay herself new reality tv where she plans to be humorous and educational.

"I am not going anywhere, I am here to stay, everyone will know who the real Megan really is" !(stomp, stomp, stomp!!!!)

I have NO idea how many times we have had the delicious possibility to truly find out who the baroness is, HER TRUE SELF. But I'm sure we all are going to enjoy her humorous and educational personality on our screens.

Life must be tough in Montecito as *allegedly* Harry asked David Beckham for a $50M loan. That's all well and good - if it's true - but how can he repay it? I hope Beckham turned him down.
It's a very brief video.

this is after a falling out between the two because * accused Victoria Beckham of leaking stuff to the paparazzi. LOL
I find it fascinating that the baroness constantly tells the world that we don't know who the REAL baroness really is.

Well, sunshine after your exit from Britain we have been having the privilege of daily doses of you. I mean doses and doses and doses and doses of you.

And we know you are a grifter, a liar, totally talentless entity who uses money to get people believe you have anything to offer to the world.

It is extremely disgusting to lie and hurt people who have done NOTHING to hurt you and you are not going to convince anyone that you are a good person because we all see you daily behaving like a swine.

Again, *allegedly*, this one's wife has been flirting his signature.

Thank you, Alianor, for giving me a laugh - I now have a wonderful mental picture of Eric Morecambe treating * as he did Andre Previn , `Sunshine' is so dismissive.

I'm now waiting for someone to refer to H as `Sonny'.

Gosh It Is Quiet In Here

 There just hasn't been a lot from really either of them together or individually lately, has there? But why? Have they blown all their bridges, connections and are down to toss the proverbial kitchen sink for attention? I don't know.  We've heard that moving vans showed up at the house.  And nothing more like pictures from a neighbor happy to see the back of them. We've heard they bought a house on Portugal.   But the wording was kind of funny.  Multiple sources of the same thing - yes but that isn't a guarantee of proof as it could all be from the same source.  It was more along the lines of "We've been told that...".  It came off as a we really don't know if we believe this to be true or not so we are putting it out there but hedging our bets.  Or at least it did to me. And nothing more like exactly when, where or for how much or when they might visit it again.  Or pictures of the awesome inside.  Or outside.  Or requisite ...

As Time Passes and We Get Older

 I started thinking about how time passes when reading some of the articles about the birthday.  It was interesting to think about it from the different points of view.  Besides, it kind of fits as a follow up the last post (the whole saga of can the two brothers reunite). So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seein...

Cliff Hanger

Deadlines for responses have passed.  Will they show?  Won't they show?   And, rumors of demands for money to cross hands to make appearances (new level of pay to play). Such drama.  You would think this was a soap opera where every episode ends with a crazy cliff hanger story plot to drive the next installment.  Sadly, I don't expect it to change any time soon either.  No.  For them, there appears to be way too much energy left in the will they, won't they to end it now even though everyone else is pretty much tired of it.  Hardly something one can point to and claim that they are trying to reconcile with those who feel distressed about what was printed. Just noticed something: remember that talk of trying to reach out and reconcile after the book, etc.?  It seems to have drifted away, hasn't it?  Hmm.  Interesting.  I wonder if that is recognized as a total lost cause or just delayed into the summer (or fall) campaign (c...
