6:18 am

6:52 am

mattygroves

Seen the news from the UK? Prince Philip has died, aged 99. I feel for his family, but the news isn't hugely surprising

6:53 am

hokie carla

I saw that. I think he was turning 100 in June. a long life.

6:54 am

bichon

Condolences to all Brits, etc, on the death of Prince Phillip

6:57 am

jzw

Sad about Phillip...Does this mean another season of The Crown?

7:07 am

bichon

There will be a Season 5, but it's a long time to 2021. They haven't gotten to Harry and Megan

7:12 am

Jeanius421

Sad news about Prince Philip, but what a good life he had. Dying just before the Queen's birthday, extra sad

7:19 am

mattygroves

Fun fact: Prince Philip's birth certificate says he was born in May because Greece hadn't yet adopted the Gregorian calendar when he was born

7:22 am

MollyL

Season 5 of what?

7:23 am

Jeanius421

The Crown.

7:24 am

Jeanius421

Supposed to start filming late summer this year

7:35 am

bichon

The Crown doesn't have the highest regard of the late Duke

7:37 am

hokie carla

well they make him a bumbling idiot in the early seasons

7:41 am

jzw

They did. I did love the episode where they had his mother. A fascinating story and woman.

7:43 am

hokie carla

well, yesterday's grid must have broken me because I'm struggling today. 49 left after 2 passes. moving on for now to get some things done!

I think Harry is in the weeds on that one

9:50 am

rururocks

he should put cameras in the boys room and watch the vape

9:51 am

MollyL

If he got another teacher involved, it would be a joint effort

9:52 am

MollyL

Ru, by the way, your name was being taken in vain earlier in regards to fe8

9:53 am

MollyL

Well, sometimes, people try to suck up

9:54 am

rururocks

I knew it would have come to a head at some point

9:59 am

cybernan

good morning everyone -- sad news out o Britain this am.

9:59 am

Haz1558

Hello nan, yes, it is sad news.

10:02 am

cybernan

Hi Haz -- was a bit of a shocker to have the "editor's pick" ping on my cell phone with the obit from the Guardian. Although I he looked only half alive in that paparazzi picture of him leaving the hospital a month ago.

10:03 am

Haz1558

He looked very ill indeed on leaving hospital. I suspect they all knew that he was dying and that he would want to die at home in Windsor.

10:03 am

cybernan

I agree Haz

10:03 am

rururocks

99 is a pretty full life though no?

10:04 am

cybernan

yes -- but I don't think it was an easy one despite the wealth and privilege

10:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, 99 is a rare age for anyone, but it's still sad when someone dies. The Queen has lost her husband of 63 years, that's sad in anyone's book.

10:05 am

saanichcat

he was one of the hardest-working of the royals.

10:05 am

cybernan

I wouldn't have wanted to walk in his shoes

10:05 am

saanichcat

who would want that life?

10:06 am

Haz1558

If he's remembered for nothing else he should be remembered for setting up the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme for young people. That has enriched and stretched so many young lives.

10:08 am

Haz1558

That's clearly not his only achievement, but the fact that it has been adopted by many nations shows how forward thinking he was.

10:08 am

cybernan

I would think that Wills will take on that patronage

10:09 am

cybernan

I feel so bad that Harry is on the outs with his family right now -- he must feel terrivle

10:11 am

cybernan

I think he took a lot of the "stuffiness" out of royal protocol didn't he? -- in an attempt to bring the family into the 20th and 21st centuries

10:11 am

rururocks

i feel bad that Harry's house is constantly being trespassed and he's not getting protection from England

10:11 am

Haz1558

I think the funeral will be much smaller than normal, probably no bad thing since it would give the family the opportunity to have a family rather than state funeral.

10:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, he was keen on modernising where modernising was required.

10:12 am

cybernan

yes -- I doubt very much that there will be a cortege with all the trappings considering the current rate of covid infection

10:13 am

Haz1558

Crowds of onlookers would be unwelcome, indeed.

10:14 am

cybernan

I don't feel sorry for Harry in that regard, ruru -- he knew that would be the case when he left Britain. It was the RCMP providing protection for the short time they were in CAnada and when told that that was not going to continue, the left for LA

10:15 am

Haz1558

Not getting protection from England? Are you expecting English police to do the protecting or just the British to do the paying?

10:15 am

rururocks

I feel sorry for him... I think they're being punitive and he could be in danger from some looneys in America

10:16 am

Haz1558

Looneys in America? You have some?

10:16 am

Haz1558

I AM surprised.

10:16 am

rururocks

yeah.. we even had one running the country

10:17 am

cybernan

I figure that as long as he is no longer in service to the monarchy he has no right to expect tha taxpayers ot pay for his protection. Let's face it, he isn't exactly a pauper and it was his choice to live in a multi-million dollar house.

10:18 am

rururocks

i don't agree nan.. he cannot help what he was born into.

10:18 am

MollyL

I agree with Nan. Harry can afford his own security.

10:21 am

cybernan

I do feel badly for the way Megan was treated by the British press and some of the people there -- but no worse than Prince Phillip was at first. They both could have handled things better and the Oprah interview certainly wasn't one of their most brilliant notions. It made it hard to believe they are trying to avoid notoriety.

10:24 am

rururocks

I agree with most of that, and Megan could have been a huge asset to the monarchy. It's hard for me to understand how Prince Andrew gets a slap on the wrist and how Harry and Megan have been treated for protecting themselves from the press

10:26 am

Haz1558

But that's the thing. The British way, rightly or wrongly, is to accept that there will be press criticism. The British press were wholly delighted at first, but inevitably started to be critical. Most ride the storm, Meghan doesn't ever accept she's wrong, or claims she's misunderstood and wanted to fight every battle. And Prince Harry did whatever it took to keep her happy.

10:26 am

cybernan

H I think Andrew got more than a slap on the wrist.

10:27 am

Haz1558

You think that they're the only members to be rubbished in the press? Charles and Camilla had extremely poor press, they just kept working.

10:28 am

MollyL

Isn't speculation by the press part of the price of celebrity?

10:28 am

cybernan

Andrew, like Edward and Sophie, has disappeared from the limelight -- I think at at queens pleasure (or displeasure)

10:29 am

rururocks

True haz.. but I don't think Meghan was treated like Kate

10:30 am

Haz1558

I absolutely did not agree with the press coverage because I thought that Meghan and Harry could have made a great contribution to the royal family. I even understood when they stepped back. I can't accept their idea of being half in, half out and the perpetual cries of victimhood when they are apparently sitting comfortably in California, looneys or not.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Waity Katie, was the nickname for Duchess of Cambridge. She didn't take to the law courts for retribution.

10:31 am

Haz1558

The thing is that I think Meghan has played the race card when the major problems were cultural in not understanding or appreciating the traditions she was expected to follow.

10:33 am

rururocks

There have been plenty of instances where race was an issue .. it's not that simple

10:33 am

cybernan

I agree with that, Haz -- I think she should have lived in Britain for a while and learned what would be expected of her before jumping into the marriage. She should have known there is no such thing a a "private life" for a royal.

10:34 am

cybernan

But you have to admit, ruru, that race is not as big an issue in Europe as it is in the states or even in Canada

10:35 am

rururocks

tell that to Princess Michael of Kent

10:35 am

rururocks

or whichever royal was concerned about the color of Meghan's baby.

10:36 am

rururocks

England has racial issues just like america.. they just don't kill black people like our police do

10:37 am

cybernan

once again -- we don't know who made that comment or even if it was voiced as a major concern or an "I wonder what?" There are snobs in every family.

10:38 am

rururocks

oh puleease

10:38 am

Haz1558

Or could it have been an innocent, I wonder what the baby will look like? Feed that into the expectation of racism and you come up with somethig that may never have been intended at all.

10:38 am

cybernan

I have observed a lot more inter-racial socializing in Europe than I have ever seen here.

10:38 am

rururocks

I don't believe that for one minute haz

10:39 am

Haz1558

No, because you have accepted one particular narrative that appeals to you.

10:39 am

Haz1558

I've read/seen lots of couples of mixed race saying that they speculated themselves about what their children would look like.

10:40 am

Haz1558

Are they being racist?

10:40 am

cybernan

I agree with Haz -- you know how the media likes to sensationalize every tidbit

10:41 am

cybernan

I don't think the media is entirely innocent when it comes to the huge political divide in the states right now either.

10:41 am

MollyL

Kill black people like our police do??

10:42 am

rururocks

yup

10:42 am

cybernan

yes - molly. Nothing could persuade me to take a holiday in the states right now with all the violence going on.

10:43 am

Haz1558

I'll retire out of this debate...

10:44 am

MollyL

Yeah Nan, it's just riots in the streets everywhere, all the time. And of course, we all carry weapons. Just one big war zone here in these united states.

10:46 am

cybernan

It certainly seems like it when so many innocent people get caught in the cross fire just going to the grocery store. And there are a lot of riots in the streets. We have them too -- just not as many and law enforcement that will crack down. Take your blinders off

10:46 am

rururocks

we'll just agree to disagree haz..

10:47 am

mattygroves

It's interesting to compare how some of the British press (the Daily Mail, particularly) report on Kate vs Meghan, even when the issue is identical (and mind you, the issues are tiny - like how when each was pregnant, Kate was 'sweet' when holding her bump but Meghan was 'looking for attention' and that kind of thing)

10:48 am

mattygroves

Whatever one thinks of their respective personalities and attention to duty (or whatever), Meghan has had a WAY harder time with the press than Catherine ever did

10:48 am

rururocks

exactly matty

10:48 am

MollyL

I don't have blinders on Nan. I actually live in this country and I know that it is not nearly as dangerous as you make it out to be.

10:48 am

cybernan

It's called making news, matty

10:49 am

mattygroves

News or no - why is the press around trivialities for Meghan so much more negative than the press around exactly the same trivialities for Catherine - even before Harry and Meghan stepped away?

10:50 am

mattygroves

I'd suggest that some reasons are her nationality ('brash American'), her age, her previous profession, her marital status and yes, her race.

10:50 am

cybernan

Doesn't mean it is right, but that seems to be the norm these days -- if it is a slow news day, make it up.

10:50 am

mattygroves

But again, why the difference in treatment? There were slow news days when Catherine was being reported on as well

10:52 am

cybernan

I think there was probably some predjuce in the press because Harry didn't want to marry some nice British girl

10:53 am

cybernan

Instead he married and American divorcee -- shades of WAllace Simpson

10:54 am

rururocks

people should be able to marry whomever they want nan.. period..

10:56 am

cybernan

I agree, ruru -- just say I think that is why some in the British press took the attitude that they did. And Harry had to know that they would have those strikes against them in some quarters. British society is a lot more traditional than ours.

10:57 am

rururocks

then it's time for British Society to catch up with the rest of the world don't you think?

10:57 am

mattygroves

Parts of British society.

10:58 am

MLFAN17

hello again

10:58 am

MollyL

When did Kate Middleton start going by Catherine? I had to do a Google search to figure out who you were talking about

10:59 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:59 am

cybernan

oh I think it will, but it takes time. Emanicpation was how many years ago? and you still can't say that coloured people have equal opportunity in the states.

11:00 am

MLFAN17

morning mool

11:01 am

rururocks

it's getting better here nan.. only thrown back a bit with Trump and his coddling of Nazi types

11:01 am

cybernan

The family requested that she be called Catherine in the future when she and Wills became engaged -- the press just didn't pay any attention.

11:01 am

MollyL

What I don't understand about Meghan Markle is that she knew what she was getting into. Stuffy, old ways British people are not going to magically turn into hip, accepting, non-traditionalists.

11:02 am

MollyL

That is funny. People are still calling him Wills, but refer to her as Catherine.

11:02 am

cybernan

I don't think attitudes in the southern states ever really changed --- they just weren't voiced as loudly before Trump.

11:03 am

rururocks

they are changing nan.. lots of people (more liberal and less racist) are moving to the South (like Alabama and Georgia) and things are slowly shifting for the good

11:04 am

rururocks

but true there are always going to be racists in the south. My Father was a racist, but that did not govern me or my beliefs..

11:05 am

amelu0218

MollyL

All the people I know with ro7 desks never close the ro7

11:22 am

mattygroves

Yep, that did it

11:22 am

mattygroves

Thanks. Reminds me of a Rowan Atkinson skit

11:23 am

mattygroves

"Discuss the contention that Cleopatra had the body
of a ro7 desk and the mind of a duck"

11:25 am

MollyL

All the Kate/Catherine stuff got me reading up on nicknames for the Royal family. Diana used to call Will "Wombat". I was hoping that Phillip called the queen "Puddin" but alas, he did not.

11:27 am

cybernan

ty bichon

11:27 am

bichon

I think he called her cabbage

11:29 am

MollyL

Someone explain how "cabbage" comes from mon petit chou

11:30 am

cybernan

like honey comes from honey bunch?

11:30 am

bichon

In The Crown, he called her that

11:31 am

MollyL

Mon petit chou means my darling. How does that translate to cabbage?

11:31 am

cybernan

literal translation is my little cabbage

11:32 am

cybernan

but it is used as a term of endearment in France

11:32 am

MollyL

Somehow that takes all the romance out of my darling.

11:33 am

cybernan

lol

11:34 am

cybernan

well, we do use the term sweet pea....

11:34 am

bichon

My neighbor called his wife his Phillipina

11:35 am

cybernan

9:30 am -- time for me to take a breakfast break

11:35 am

MollyL

Yeah, but cabbage just stinks and makes people fart. There is nothing cute or romantic about it.

11:41 am

bichon

Since we rarely eat cabbage, what'sw the excuse in our house

11:46 am

amelu0218

Ok. Brick wall. Too early to list (not 2/3 done). Are there a ton of oddball words? My eyes just can't seem to play twister today, lol.

11:56 am

right there with you amelu

11:59 am

MollyL

Beans, broccoli, cauliflower, eggs?

12:00 pm

12:03 pm

MollyL

Nan is reminding me of the construction misuse of words hall of fame. Which includes "did an on sight visit to steak out the construction area"

12:04 pm

cybernan

sometimes my fingers are finished before my brain becomes engaged :)

12:05 pm

MollyL

There are people who have the same problem with the mouth/brain connection

12:05 pm

MollyL

Or as I refer to them "people with no edit function"

12:06 pm

cybernan

yeah -- well I have beenn guilty of that too

12:07 pm

amelu0218

I call it "no filter"

12:22 pm

cybernan

finally made it to 2/3 done

12:23 pm

I do not like a's sam I am

12:29 pm

MollyL

I saw Zoom hiding during the hot conversation about the royals
: D

12:31 pm

zoozzoom

Yes sorry, Nan, My depression is having a great time with my emotions so not as chatty. I do apologise as it gets on my freaking nerves feeling down all the time. I do try and perk up but it only lasts a day or two.

12:32 pm

MollyL

Sorry to hear that Zoom. I will keep you in my good thoughts.

12:32 pm

cybernan

oh - sorry to hear that -- is the lockdown getting to you?
