A baby boy!

[Gooner Girl]

Awww I think it's lovely news too, how exciting! I'm going for George Charles Philip Francis.

Think it might be me and you going it alone on this thread GG

Hey! you were right on the first name and I got the second name. How clever are we Toni?!

[Prufrock]

Louis?! F*ckin Louis?! Now I give a shit.

[TANGODANCER]

George Fitzwilliam Darcy would have been ideal.

Louis?! F*ckin Louis?! Now I give a shit.

Knowing that I have to go to work to pay for this family of spongers is absolutely nauseating

Don't you all think her dress when they showed off the baby was lovely though? I want one...

What's the point in having a Royal Family if it's not to piss off the French?? Tell me that? Louis!

Looking down I can see breasts (typing naked, just about to get in bath - tmi?) so therefore I get to be excited about royal babies and pretty dresses.

I just don't get the obsession with all things royal family. Surely peoples' lives aren't that empty that they fawn over people that A. they'll never meet and B. don't give a shit about them? Keep on paying your taxes folks. We'll all struggle but let's keep them in luxury...

Not especially bothered whether we have a monarchy or not, certainly not an ardent royalist, I think i'm just nosy i because they are the same age as me and at a similar stage of life. And they seem a nice enough couple from what you read. It's no different from being fascinated by all the endless c list big brother celebrities which lots of people are.

Point taken. Just cannot stand the fact that the royals get to live in absolute luxury at our expense. I'm a self-employed plasterer and I work hard for my money. Don't see why I should pay more out of my wages to support a child I'll have nothing to do with than my daughter...

Check us out!

Her dress was lovely, and Wills in a matching shirt, cute!

Yeah but I'm pretty sure they'll generate a fair bit of money for this country by the amount of tourists they attract for a start. It's the families full of spongers that do absolutely F all that nauseate me. I actually know someone who pays 81p a week rent to live in a council house but is able to pay £113 a month for Virgin Media. Come back when you've finished puking over that.

I don't constantly fawn over the Royals all year round either but we're watching history unfold and it's exciting, plus as already mentioned, I love a good bit of baby news regardless of who the baby belongs to.

^ what she said!

Two things weirded me out today: One, I went into M&S to buy a Sarnie, and they had non-ironic, laminated, serious merchandised signs everywhere saying 'We would like to congratulate the Duke and Duchess on the birth of a beautiful baby boy'. Then an oldish guy at work with a dry sense of humour asked if my lot where having a whip round to send flowers to them. I laughed thinking he was joking. He wasn't. Add that to the gym yesterday where half the people stopped what they were doing to crowd round the TV to see them leave maybe leave hospital.

Is it a Southern thing? I felt as nonplussed as the first time I went to the cinema here and people stood up to applaud at the end. No matter how long I spend here, I'm never going to have the instinct for that. Like, what the shit?! M&S, congratulating?! Whaaaa?!
