It certainly is.


Yesterday morning, I was feeling little blue. The cold weather. The short days. The uncertainty of a future in this modern world of ours - with all its changes and challenges.


But the amazing news that our heavily-balding king-in-waiting has successfully inseminated his missus has really lifted me out of the doldrums. Today, I want to dance with a stranger in the street. To laugh, hug and cry all at the same time. Thank you, William and Kate. Thank you.

Good for you, I hope that all pans out for you.

Everyone has suspected that the royal gloves have been off for some time now. And (coming from such good stock) it can come as no surprise that these most royal of family jewels have struck ovum gold in record time.


That said, we should all try to remember that - putting aside the Bentleys, ermine, received pronunciation and bodyguards - the beating heart of this story is simply that of a young couple in love, doing what young couples in love do best.

I wonder how many people have been present the same time as Prince William at any venue.

I have been at many, he just is one of those there expecting no special attention.

He has been from birth groomed to be King, had to serve in the forces, so has a good idea of what goes on.

Having experiance of those Elected to high office of non qualified persons, ( Boris comes to mind ) who would be the better choice?

The new child will again have its future set out for it from now on, very little choice of what it wants.

Would you like to have your entire future programmed for your life.

I hope that the new baby will have a long and healthy life and become loved by those who will be under its protection.

"I wonder how many people have been present the same time as Prince William at any venue."


He drinks in the Prince Arthur, Shorty. Just his little joke, obvs. That's why they had to put up the anti-drugs leaflets in the windows recently, in case Guy Pelly's crowd turned up and started in on the nose powder in the VIP area (pool table).

I can see your point computed but the royals have a choice once they reach adulthood. They don't have to take the throne, can abdicate etc. But given that everything is an accident of birth, I judge the monarch and cohorts by what they do rather than what they have. I personally would be bored by a life of diplomatic excursions (which is essentially what the Queen's life entails).

Bringing the future monarch into the world sounds like it is going to be jolly hard work for La Duchesse and probably not what she signed up for. There would always be the possibility she could have the same thing again so wonder how keen she would be to pop out another one.


I have no fondness for them, but I cannot understand the media city camped outside the hospital for someone who is going through. I really think it the should be banned from being there. It's incredibly intrusive when you aren't feeling well.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
