    So... Everyone is talking about some royal baby... I have not at all heard about this.... I take it is another member of the house of windsor?

    I always found that insult strange. Plebeian was the 'commoner' class in roman society. It would be like calling a person "Commoner", "Working class" or "normal". Not very much insulting about it.

    You want Harry and Meghan to have exciting babies? I'm not sure the Commonwealth can handle exciting babies. (Note: Exciting Babies would be a good name for a band.)

    Meghan will dress her baby all wrong. She needs to swing with the set of '32, get that side-parting just so, the little sandals and sailor jersey. You either got it or are American. Probably she's doing a couple of courses in etiquette/loo rolls/warming teapots.

    What's "boring" about them? They're only little. I'm not really sure how a baby can be "exciting". (TBH, everything I know about babies could fit on one side of a postage stamp.)

    I'm sorry - I'm eighteen, and I remember postage stamps! Does no-one else send cards any more?

    Car payments are the only thing regularly recurring thing I can think of that still requires stamps and snail-mail... unless you do a direct deduction from your bank account.

    Aside from maybe a visit, post is pretty much the only reliable way to get news to any friends one might have in gaol, T'ain't no internet and phones only make outgoing calls, and even then only to a select few, arbitrary numbers.

    My rent check still has to be mailed via snail mail, although I know a lot of places can do it online or via automatic payment. The property manager is kind enough to provide pre-printed envelopes, though.

    The third, or was George actually a big deal due to being the heir and that?

    I like William and Kate. I like all the royals. They all seem so nice. (And I like looking at pictures of them all smartly dressed.)

    Just took a look at the news; first headline to come up is ‘Kim Kardashian nearly shows her lady bits’. I had two thoughts about it. First, whoopty freaking doo, how is this news? And second, how is this time different than every other time?

    Because they were "nearly" shown, rather than on full display?

    This is why I avoid the MSM. Though I would like to know when she gets her ass impaled on a Judas Cradle and dies.
    That I don't want to miss. :p
