If I'd have known Frankie Boyle used twitter I might have bothered with it before now - genius!

molgrips - Member

Significant irony in these threads. 66% of all the times I've heard about it have been you lot complaining about it on here.

If you really don't want to hear about it, please don't start threads!

Very poor molgrips. 🙂

No one's complaining about the fact that Kate's pregnant.
No one's wishing the girl ill.

The complaint is about the blanket coverage and the cynical attempted use of the so called 'feelgood factor'.
It's overkill.
The percentage of the public who can be positively manipulated by this
type of story is falling all the time - I'd have thought the media might have cottoned on to this, but it appears not.
What do you think?


Now if only Frankie Boyle would get banned for a zillion years. He has become a pathetic parody of himself, and some time ago began confusing comedy with publically spewing anger-issue inspired vitriol.

Very, very true.

I hope she does some preggo glamour photos.

That's about the most useful thing the princess tax drain could do.

I'm noting that you're all men and haven't had the discomfort of normal morning sickness, let alone something that endangers your health and ultimately that of the unborn child.
I'm guessing that Kate and William would like to be left alone to get on with their lives. They aren't like the royals of old, they try to lead a semi normal life on the Isle of Anglesey.

I personally wish them and any other parents to be, all the luck in the world.

Anyone else happy that there is now ANOTHER baby that's being brought into a life of benefit-support?

I despise the existence of the Royals. Makes me sick.

My original point.

Good luck to 'em. Been there, done that and it is hard.

We don't need Nicholas Witchcraft stood outside the hospital telling us about it though and various people queuing up to wear out the radio with the word "wonderful".

Have you considered selective news consumption? 🙂

Oi! I've had a hangover before. Pretty sure it's basically the same thing. 😛

Good luck to them +1, but first item on the news headlines?

A thread about blanket media coverage descends into the usual battle lines....

At least on the other side of the world this is down the order on the news...

I like Kate Middleton. And her sister. A nice pair of ladies.

Here in the US of A, the televison entertainment "news" shows are already wrapped around the axle about the pregnancy, gushing all over the place---probably reach the same fever pitch as the wedding did here.
I personally just wish them well.

Frankie Boyle is an idiot. He can dish it out but he can't take it. He blocked me on Twitter ages ago for this hilarious reply to one of his tweets....

You don't like him but you follow him on twitter.

That's a bit odd isn't it ?

I used to find him amusing so I followed him on Twitter. Then he blocked me for that joke (and called me a see you next Tuesday). Now I think he's an idiot.
