General Chat

Island, Chris Rock is an American comedian, emcee'd the Oscars last year where he got slapped in the face by someone, on stage in front of everyone.

He just happens to be Black.

I think he might know about racism!

Hmmm....... and Piers Morgan and Chris Rock (who?) et al aren't piping up for their own publicity.... :-\ :-\

Yes, and I think Piers Morgan is asking if that makes Chris Rock racist.

Did anyone hear about the crack that comedian Chris Rock made about them the other night on Netflix??

He said she had NOT suffered racism when the question was asked about Archie's colour ............... it seems that Black people also ask that same question!

and he should know!

I’ve just caught up with this and think it beggars belief that anyone would charge people to listen to a conversation between these two - and worse, that anyone would actually pay. It feels like a con job to me - just another way to make a quick buck.

Also, where’s the privacy that Harry supposedly craved.

Since I saw the ending of that Netflix film when Harry was on the beach making that ‘look what I have’ with the goading gesture, he seems to be trying constantly to get a rise out of his brother, father and their spouses. I think it is envy combined with a need to be top dog resulting in an obvious childish spit-the-dummy ongoing tantrum.

Gawd, I wish they’d put a sock in it and grow up because they are boring the pants off me now. :-\

When it all ends in tears, he will be traumatised! And those poor children too.

Somebody doesn't seem to have any idea of what "privacy" means, especially when referring to other people.


In other words ................... TMI


Too Much Information

Tape his mouth :-P

:-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

I’d comment but I think there may be a privacy issue ;-) ;-)

I've got ADD. The whole world is against me, although with THAT amount of attention coming my way, I'm not sure that I have a deficiency of attention; the opposite seems to apply :-S

There is always a place for a hug or an arm round the shoulders, but unfortunately we have to be a lot more careful nowadays when we choose when to do it.

As to children, I have always been a believer that you have to let them get bored sometimes. Filling up their time with clubs, extra lessons etc must not fill all their time. Otherwise they won’t learn to cope nor find new and exiting things for themselves.

names .................

that "smothering" comment also made me wonder how the kiddies will grow up.


I started hugging family and close friends sometime in my 40s, and was even told that I was a "good hugger"

It just came naturally with some friends.

I remember walking towards the Cathedral in Vienna along a wide pedestrian-only street when I heard my name called ....... a male friend from Quebec who'd I known for years. We hugged AND I got the Quebecers' 3 stage kiss. Unlike the French it is not right cheek left cheek, but right, left, right. But I always forget that until it happens.

A short walk to buy a bar of chocolate is curing all the angst :-D

If only someone had kept his big mouth shut ;-)

I worry a bit that those children are being smothered in love, leaving them no room to be themselves :-S

Andrew doesn't even work so why should he get a house for free paid for by his brother. And why did he need a 31 bed house fgs? I would be happy with just 1 spare room for family to visit never mind 31!!

If he felt "different" from the rest of the family, maybe he needs to take a DNA test, just to be sure!!

These so-called 'Royal experts' aren't helping either.
Spouting suppositions as though they actually know something.

The Frogmore fiasco for a start. No 'expert' has pointed out that 'Madam Markle' thought it too small, and not 'royal' enough.
Well Charles has offered them rooms in an actual palace.

Okay, the suite was Andrew's 'spare' pad, but you can only live in one place at a time - and Andrew's been offered Frogmore, as his 'main' abode - the Lodge has mould and is in need of repair.!

Reminds me of the time so called ‘therapists’ were persuading their young clients to report their fathers for sexual abuse, which, on the whole, never happened.

That is so true Florence :-)

LB best thing one can do is keep a dignified silence, it shows one is the better person!

My parents weren't huggers but that didn't mean they didn't love me :-0. FGS I just wish he'd stop whinging :-|. I do think hugging is a modern trait :-)

I do wish he would stop thinking that his wife is the best thing since sliced bread...funny how they both have turned on their families :-0

He is acting as a spoilt brat always wanting to be the centre of attention....me, me, me :-0. Has he not thought what his continued public outpouring is doing to his father, the hurt he must feel :-0. It's as if he is saying all these things because he wants someone to hit back at him but so far they have kept a dignified silence :-0

Edit

I meant to say that I'm surprised at his choice of interviewer as a lot of his beliefs are somewhat controversial but there again that might be why he chose him :-0
