There seems to me to be a fundamental mismatch between the level of Royal baby coverage in the media

[Berni]

and actual public interest in things.

Note to our resident Dave Spart types: Please do not misinterpret this as an anti-royal post or use it as an excuse to unleash your fourth-form constitutional musings (or - God help us - 'witticisms') upon us. I'm delighted that the succession is secured and wish all involved well. I just have no interest in hearing people bang on about it.

Frankly his best bet is either regicide or patricide, possibly both

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Has the child been branded a parasite yet, I wonder?

an organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.


Women are a different species really, aren't they

Weddings, funerals, births...they do command interest.

If it doesn't float your boat that's cool, but I don't think you can claim it isn't interesting enough for a wide cross-section of the country to talk about it for a few hours or even a couple of days....

[Classic Jorge]

Proper Faustian pact stuff, it's the deference and servility that really grates. Pointless *******s

[Classic Jorge]

No £25k benefits cap for this family.

I do wonder just how many billions the royal estates would fetch though, it's the one part of the public sector that's not been topsliced yet.

They arent allowed anything else

[Classic Jorge]

The least they could do is pass a dutchy on the left hand side

[Berni]

I fear the media may be catering for our more mental brothers and sisters on this one.

[Rich]

[Berni]

Unless, of course, you mean Duchies?

[Classic Jorge]

That said, they are a bunch of wrongcocks of quite epic proportions

I fully blame the media and the hords of servile commentators for stoking up this utter ****casket, filled with obsequious outpourings.

I'm sure the royals must be as f**ked off with this regrettable f**kwitted behaviour as the rest of us.

[Supermac1976]

[Classic Jorge]

I think Wesley, Junior or T'Shawn would be better.

[Mack]

[PSRB]

or more likely Louis

[Classic Jorge]

Well, if the rumours were anything to go by she did

[PSRB]

well, the ones that have passports do. Massive earner for the UK is Yanks visiting various Royal bits and pieces

I can only presume from his salute that he's served in the Navy.

[Classic Jorge]

Luckily he had the hat hanging about, luckily it wasnt warm out or anything

[Jake]

Multiple "Jim'll fix it" puns ensue.

[Rich]

Royal baby named after me. What an honour.

I'd love it if they had the balls to have another Henry.

[Luis Anaconda]

and lots of people were talking about it. Clearly more interested than what you give them credit for

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Fair to say there would not be any such media hype as and when one of the lesser important Royalers produces.

On the basis of the King thing then surely the media coverage you are being subjected to is fair enough.

It’s getting f**k all here for example but then it means nothing to us. Front page of the only paper I have seen today had “Famous woman has baby� in the top corner, not headline. 3rd or 4th item on the radio news.

Yanks etc are all over it but they are f**king mugs.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

she still doesn't get that I don't give a flying horses arse
