So when people start saying things that are clearly untrue, one has to question why. And didn't I hear about Charles jokingly asking Harry who his real father was?

There goes my plan to "borrow" a wig. To be fair, my (full) sister and I look nothing alike. My sister looks just like my mom. I look just like my (half) sister, who is my dad's child, and my grandmother. I think they should both submit DNA to ancestry.com to find out. Bonus points, we might be able to figure out if Jack the Ripper was one of their great, great, great, great, whatever, uncles. It would make you the toast of the meeting if you showed up in 5 inch heels and a crazy Philip Treacy fascinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three with my dad, and we all look like peas in a pod (North Sea-Peely Wally, wispy blonde hair, blue eyes). After my mum and dad split up, my mum got pregnant with my baby sister. Who, with her dark complexion, thick black hair and brown eyes, looks nothing at all like the rest us. Edited January 11 by Spockydog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Quote ZOMG, not the Trooping of the Colour. What on earth will us plebs do if they cancelled the Trooping of the Colour? I mean, Brexit was bad enough, but I honestly don't think the nation would survive such a tumultuous event. So let's just stop all this talk of republicanism right now. Phew, that was close. Show me you know absolutely fucking nothing about the British People without saying you know absolutely fucking nothing about the British People. The Trooping of the Colour. GTFOH. You say that as if you’ve forgotten how mad people got when Big Ben was silenced during the repair work on the Elizabeth Tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"James" 38 minutes ago, Spockydog said: I used to be convinced of this until I saw pictures of a young Prince Philip. Now I'm not so sure. 25 minutes ago, Spockydog said: Yes, but whether or not Philip had red hair seems to be up for debate. Some people say that Philip had thick, red hair when he was Harry's age. While others say it was blonde. One thing is certain though. Harry doesn't look a thing like his brother. 21 minutes ago, Cas Stark said: Looks blonde as hell to me, and I confess I don't see much resemblance to Harry. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/g10000618/prince-philip-photos/?slide=13 Oh my god, the Spencers are all fucking red heads. - It looks like they're doing after Doria Raglan now.

Well, yeah, Harry looks a lot like the Spencer family even if he doesn't much resemble his mother. I would guess he's a Windsor, and I will say that having the world speculate on who your real father is can't have been much of a picnic and may have contributed to his jealousy of brother Big Willy.

Here is is all aggregated in one place, and I don't even have to go to the supermarket checkout line or mess up my apple news feed algorithm for some very useless infotainment. Same. It's convenient and amusing to laugh at all the people whining about celebrities that - granted - don't deserve to be celebrities.

polishgenius Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Speculating whether Harry is really Charles' son is entertaining and all, but if we're really saying 'he doesn't look like William' is a reason to genuinely take that theory seriously, we're way out into the woods. I don't look a thing like my brother and we're twins. Fragile Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm heading to London this weekend and I need to know what I don't care about for casual conversation. Yeah baby. That's why I never understood the twitters and the thises and the thats' of those noisy fucking facebooks. If you washed up here I'm assuming that you can either read, or at least make it through Season 1. It makes a big difference. Total game changer. The ability to watch slightly-less-than-ten hours of a sophisticated television program, if not read the source material, is like the development of the Opposable Thumb of attention spans in the modern day. Even if you're an asshole or insane and you wash up here. I'm assuming we can have an exchange! 54 minutes ago, Fragile Bird said: I bet none of them eat American chocolate.
