haha... I added an update to my OP, and the post went back to Page 4..... so I'm adding this, for those who may be interested.

Haha.
Just tuned into BBC Scotland and notice that weather girl Gillian Smart is blooming again!

In 2011 BBC Scotland had 3 weather girls.
ALL of them were pregnant at the same time and all gave birth within weeks of each other.

BBC Scotland found two males and one female to cover the maternity leave!.

Nasty I know, but... I would have preferred it if Judith Ralston hadn't come back at all.
Her voice irritates me so much
she starts off at a normal rate then speeds up to100 miles an hour

Going back to RMShy's comments regarding tight clothing.

Most of us might be basing our opinions when we or friends/relatives were pregnant 30+ years ago. Fabric manufacturing has come on by leaps snd bounds since then. Garments containing an 'elastic' allow much more comfort and freedom of movement now a days.
Attitudes have also changed. Although we may not have thought we were hiding our condition by wearing loose clothing, the current women in the same position are outwardly celebrating their pregnancy.

In France the lady weather presenters tend to wear apparel suitable for the weather. Given that France is a warm sunny country small wonder the "meteo" is very popular.

When, inevitably, our latter day Mariannes become "enceinte" they carry on much admired by their fans. I have never heard of a complaint. How boring the anglo-saxons can be.

yeah, Dermot, the one-eyed bedroom snake is a devious creature,... crafty devil!!!!

They were done! :-D

hahaha Allan.....

I had to laugh when I saw paintings in The Vatican, of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden........... and they both had belly buttons :-S :-S :-S

But surely tummy buttons are where God pokes you in the middle when making you, to see if you are done? :-D

But neither Adam nor Eve had belly buttons :-)

Eve, in the Garden of Eden, managed to cover her feminine qualities by wearing a fig leaf. All she had to worry about at that time was that cold dastardly slithering snake.

But things have changed just a little in the meanwhile.

I don't know about Immaculate Conception, but some men do consider themselves as God :-0

Our local GWN weather presenter has appeared during her two pregnancies and the only complaint that I had was that as we are so low down on the weather map, as the pregnancies advanced, I couldn't see what the temps were going to be :-D :-D

How did he (the Turkish PM) think he arrived?

Immaculate conception? The stork?



Maybe he was hatched.

:-(


I'm also wondering............ how the fathers of these babies are coping, doing all the shopping etc. rofl........ and thinking of some of the Turkish men I've met :-D :-D :-D :-D

sheeeeeez!

A Turkish woman I worked with told me that, apparently, the Turkish Prime Minister has banned pregnant women from going outside.

The reason?

The fact that they're pregnant means they have had sex!!! Ooo-errr.

So obviously, men never have 'carnal knowledge' :-S

This is on top of his ban on abortion and he is against birth by caesarean" because "unnecessary" elective caesareans were "unnatural".
Add to that the lack of education for women, and unnecessary restrictions on what they can do.

This would be why my friend Sibel was in the UK.......

The moaners should visit this neighbourhood.

In summer, especially February, it's so humid, we wear as little as possible.... lots of pregnant ladies wear a sarong & a tiny top.... with their bellies on full display.... showing off the "outie" belly buttons.

I'd rather see a pregnant belly than the "bum-cracks" of those people wearing low-rise pants!!

It's not repulsive, she just needs bigger clothes. even if she just borrows them for work stuff. and not polka dotted. :-S

The forecaster on our local station made the point that most weather forecasters do not get a dress allowance from their stations, as many of the news announcers do. Yet they still have to be "well dressed", whatever that may mean.

She said that she just could not afford to buy a brand new wardrobe for 6 months or so, with enough clothes to ring changes for 5-6 days a week plus public events.

Why on earth would the lady opt to be just the same as everyone else when she is obviously different and an utterly human individual just as we all are & unlike anyone else - if you understand my meaning?

Me I often watch the weather girls "assets" , and then after the forecast think I wonder what she said the weather is going to be. :-D :-D :-D
