  1. Some people say the child will be gender neutral at the wish of its mother in which case it might get a name no one has reckoned with.

    1. Hope you've got your spam problem sorted out. They can be very persistent.

  3. Poor Meg, damned if she does or doesn't. Last week the press accusing her of having the baby and not telling. But dear Harry, he was just busting with pride and joy, as he should have, and Meg is having a nap, I hope.

    1. Thanks Joanne. I read that in the paper too. Some press over here spreading the same fake news. It's a worldwide phenomenon. I thought of more names including Septimus (7th in line). That'll be 500/1 odds. ;-)

    2. Harry said they would not be sharing anything until after the birth had taken place and there had been silence since their last public appearances which for Meghan was the end of March. It was not unreasonable for the press to speculate that she may have had the baby. It was not fake news.

    3. This is how fake news spreads. It was not an accusation, it was, under the circumstances dictated by Harry and Meghan, a reasonable speculation by the British people that the baby might have already been born.

    4. People often don't notice the question form of these ambiguous headlines. They are often very cleverly phrased.

    5. Here's another Royal story from today's paper. Band vs. Queen. Queen richer than the queen. Queen Elizabeth II has only 434 million euro in her bank account. The three members of the band Queen - Brian, Roger and John - have 522 million euros in the bank. Who thinks them up?!

    6. In fact, when they announced she had gone into labour the baby had already been born. Now they want everybody to be interested all of a sudden. Madness.

    8. On the other hand When they (the beeb) announced Building 7 - the third building had fallen down on 9/11 - it hadn't fallen down but it did fall down 20 minutes later. In fact it was 'pulled' as the term is for a building wired for explosives falling into its own footprint. Same owner all three buildings. It's all a bit worrying.

    9. Charles and Camilla keeping out of the way in Germany for 3 days. Very tactful I think. It'll be the Day of 'Freude' as its called over here. They mark the end of the war on 8th May. In Austria they concentrate people's minds on Mauthhasen.

  4. Oliver would have a twist to it? A real rags to riches tale.

    1. By Hook or by Crook did one land in the Emerald Isle? (6,8)

    1. Luther or Martin would've been Mother Merkel's choice too if she'd had one.

      Luther, the guy who rewrote the bible, was possibly the most anti-Semitic native German of all time, uncle Adolfo's famous book was mere shadow of Luther's.
