Apparently there were a total of 103 guns in two salutes this morning............Why? they would wake the poor little sod up. I didn't get any guns fired when I was born...........apart from those in the Korean War.
I'm just disappointed that they don't already have a name. I mean for God's sake, they've only had 9 months to think about it and they had to come up with just 2 to cover all bases. Why are they just thinking about it now? And if they already know, why don't they just tell us? Of course, I really couldn't give a flying fuck about the whole thing, but I just think it's weird. Unless, they are in cahoots with the Sun or the Mail and the name reveal is going to sell a second lot of papers. I was always under the impression that all my friends had their sprogs names already cut and dried before they showed up. I certainly knew the names of my dogs before I took delivery, or had even sourced them.
Look, Glidd............its no effing use having names like James, Arthur or Richard ready...........the ginger DNA might have struck again, so 'Jock' could have been more appropriate, or Timothy, Nigel or Vivian.........although Henry VIII was a ginger, if my memory serves me correctly none of our current Royals are actually descendants of the old fat sod.
Just think as tax payers we're now going to have another palace to pay for, another bullet and bomb proof Roller to order, an army of servants, nanny's and general arse wipers to pay for and that's before the nappies and baby wipes. They say bringing up kids is expensive! You'd better believe it!!.
OK I'm really thrilled for them, BUT the BBC is absolutely going OTT on the coverage and radio today was unbearable. Loved the comment about Mrs Reid, I thought they'd hired a Romanian! Anyway, the male name can't be that difficult as the likes of Wayne, Shane, Cameron, Brandon, etc, etc don't come into their ultra conservative (quite rightly) world, so: James, George, or Henry it is then. Come on how long will that take? Maybe Arthur could be the leftfield choice :biggrin: As a staunch Royalist; In their defence, it will no doubt add 0.01% to the growth figures. After all, just look at the amount of money all the journos and mad "I wish we had a Royal family" tourists are spending
Clive, Peregrine, Ulysses, Tarquin. The media coverage is shite, but lets not deny the people some good news for a change!
