The Whole Country.....

[Bazile]

...is excited about the eminent birth of this child.

Well , that's according to the Prime Minister .

I dont feel excited - should I therefore go and see a shrink - cos there must be something wrong with me .

Do you agree ?

[berniecuddles]

100%

[naomi24]

I'm interested, but I'm not excited in the least - so there must be something wrong with me too.

[pixie373]

"Excited" is a bit strong, "interested" maybe. Would like to know all ok and what sex it is, name etc.

[Bazile]

100 % what ?

[bibblebub]

couldn't care less about it, and so making a point of avoiding any news/progs which might feature the non-event

[carrust]

I couldn't care an eff....

[berniecuddles]

agreeing with you!!

[ummmm]

I wonder how many more threads can be posted on the subject...

[tonyav]

Hope everything goes well with the birth of this child, but excited, no.

[Bazile]

Do you know any good shrinks ?

[DJHawkes]

I think it's very very exciting and I am really looking forward to hearing whether it's a girl or a boy and the names. Loving the whole thing and enjoying the hsitory in the making aspect.

[fruitsalad]

eminent birth of what child?

[naomi24]

Baz, seems you've got a bunch of weirdos here. Where's that couch? Move over. ;o)

[pixie373]

It is history, yes. Seems to be a male/ female divide here?

[Stephen_G]

I'm with you, Bazile. Couldn't give a XXXX!

[Iggle Piggle]

Maybe the Prime Minister is wrong about yet another item ! It's happened before... (many times)

[carrust]

We've also got to put up with the fawning lick-spittle reporters on the TV & radio.

[Peter Pedant]

OK Mr Grumpy (that would be you) snit excited

but the rest of us are: and yeah the take off of Baby timmy and the Tiger who came to Tea I thought was good - German, Dutch and Flemish - I was looking forward to Egyptian Arabic Turkish and Mandarin.

and the time lapse of Bucklebury Church Clock - 1600 to 1615 in fifteen seconds was enjoyable - it was a pity that they didnt supply the smell of new mown hay....smell-vision I think it's called.

And Slow Tom from Bucklebury is talking on the tee vee - slowly as a countryman would, as I speak, and also not very interestingly - but then he is a countryman. The child is born - he intones.
Oh God Tom - do you know something we dont? the hack asks It is not even crowning (obstetric joke there)

Cut to Harewoor House - *** somewhere else in England - the long sunset is bathing the sandstone in a rich golden glow in an eighteenth century Indian Summer.

[ In Cold Comfort Farm Mary Mouse given herself stars in the margin for particularly literary writing and readers will notice I have awarded myself three stars *** for the Harewood House bucolic scene.]

I was just think when Bazile interrrupted how much more scenic it was to see various sun drenched Georgian country houses

than it was a few days ago to be treated to how Winnie and Mandlo Mandela wish to make yet more money this year.....

But I think it is just a matter of taste and discretion

[stewey]

The amount of near hysterical interest generated by this so called historical event is almost, well, quite inconceivable.

[anneasquith]

I didn't vote for DC nor do I need him to say im excited about anything,
