This was the one I tried to run yesterday but had the wrong url. I preferred the first partner (first series) and yet she was quite edgy towards the end of the series. The one viewers preferred I think was Liza Goddard.
Once you get there, it will need clicking a second time because it’s IYE theatre.

JH: One of the comments stated:
“Meghan began her journey to the palace long before she actually met Harry.. She had met Misha Nonoo at a dinner in 2014 when Misha was married to Alexander Gilkes. Once Meghan found out who she was married to – she love bombed Misha.
Misha’s husband Alex, was a close personal friend of both William and Harry and had been at Eton with the both of them. Misha and Alexander had both been to William and Catherine’s wedding in 2011. You can imagine how Meghan’s eyes lit up.
Alex’s younger brother Charlie dated Pippa Middleton.
Misha and Alex’s 2012 wedding in Venice brought out guests including Princess Beatrice and her sister Eugenie as well as James Middleton (Catherine’s brother) and featured a performance from Lana del Ray.
Alex Gilkes is a close friend of Princess Eugenie, whom he reportedly calls “Eug” – Alex employed Eugenie at his business, Paddle8 for two years after graduating from university.
CLOSE, close personal friends of the royal family.
It is rumoured that the date with Harry was actually set up by Misha and Eugenie – not Marcus Anderson. And Meghan went on international television and said she had no idea who Harry was. She is the biggest fraud and liar ever and she takes us all for idiots.”
IYE continues:
So it is being reported on the lamestream that Whinge has a new female squeeze? Strange timing or just one of those pesky coinky-dinks after much speculation about his real leanings after his appearance on some podcast where he was acting weird with the male hosts. The PR yarn spinners are working hard.
On the other hand rumours are rife that Whinge and Cringe are entering Splitsville and that is why Whinge met privately with Papa and the Wicked Stepmother recently to sort out all matters related including the invisi-kids. So rumours of the new squeeze could be the modernised version of a staged week-end in Brighton.
Allegedly. 😉

13. Reworking this one to keep


Unfortunately, at the end of that long foolish time in the west, each successive generation worse than the last, where even parents and teachers have inadvertently bred moral emptiness, perversity and defencelessness into their progeny … the west is ripe for slaughter by the barbarians, without mercy. The last defensive line who knew about barbarians? The now elderly? Being euthanised by Mengele medics in hospitals.And the perps, Them? They escape of course to their havens.

3. A certain Matt Roberts at Lord Toby’s site writes
“Silly season no longer seems to arrive. Every summer now brings another existential crisis demanding constant commentary. Brexit negotiations gave way to Covid and lockdowns. Covid gave way to Ukraine. Ukraine gave way to inflation, leadership contests, small boats, riots and a seemingly endless succession of emergencies. Westminster has become a theatre in permanent performance. There is no interval, and the actors never leave the stage. There is only crisis.
In the midst of all these crises, each year there seem to be more calls for Parliament to shorten its summer recess. Ministers, we are told, should remain in their departments to deal with the latest furore. Increasingly, I find myself wishing the opposite. Not because the country faces no serious problems, but because so much of what now passes for governing consists of performance rather than the exercise of power: full of sound and fury, signifying… nothing.”
Not sure why any of us of a certain vintage should be surprised … we had our formative years, our “match and procreate” phase, our consolidation phase when we truly lived to the most, then our gradual irrelevance over some decades. I’m thinking that once we get to four generations there, anything else becomes a bonus.
“Silly season” was very much a net phenomenon in the mid 2000s, to the point Man in a Shed ran a competition to see who could come up with the silliest story. It would be nice if the civic mood were still “silly in summer” but there it is.

1. Keep your friendships in good repair
… and while you’re there … your internet connection.
For those who were of that blogging era, LegIron has returned, plus Ripper has commented here under Sunday 6. In a trifecta, I found a youtube last night in which my stepfather’s military unit interviewed him in 2004/and he spoke of his war experience. It was him all right … he died I think in 2005/6, my mother years before, my dad eons before that.
I do have photos of those three here but we’re talking twenty plus years now. Last night, I tried contacting two ladies attached to Leggy and neither had working DMs nor emails … at least not current ones … maybe they want it that way, we don’t always know.
The love of my life when I was fifteen wrote to me on the 10th of this month, which is a major thing to me, plus one I’ve known since I was ten, plus my most recent “bereavement in the world of love” in 2008. So I have “sort of” kept them in repair but the world just now, particularly our immediate world, is racing to oblivion.
Leggy’s story is sad and I’m thinking is going to soon become increasingly frequent … farmer wanting the house back. Actually, same happened to me in Russia in 2008 … so even if nothing else had happened, they wanted their flat back. My headmistress who had signed my invitation to come over and whom I got along with well was hit by a passing tram a couple of years before that. New guard, I was unknown to the new admin … why was I there?
My university faculty head who was the key person employing me was ousted in a “palace coup” in 2007 and the rest just followed … do they call such things “quantum shifts”?
Also, note who’s making all the noise now on the world stage … it’s the ones called Gen X, innit? So heaven help any of the Gen they detest … the Boomers. As for anyone even earlier … we still have DAD here, seemingly fighting fit.
Keep your contacts in good repair, as that list slowly reduces in size.
(1700) Evening all.
22. Macheath from Orphans on Piddington
The residents of rural Oxfordshire are generally feeling somewhat persecuted, what with the widespread 20mph speed limits, planned closure of lanes connecting villages and the effective ban on St George’s flags in public places, not to mention the massive solar farms blighting the landscape and the Council’s anti-farming policies.
It’s not hard to imagine smug city-dwelling civil servants and local officials happily signing off on policies which will only affect a few insignificant peasants or retired villagers (who probably vote Tory anyway) – the local women afraid to walk their dogs alone or let their daughters play outside are likely to rank very low on the priority list.
It’s already happened to the towns thanks to the placement of asylum-seekers in large hotels; just yesterday, my daughter-in-law – recently arrived from a country regarded as far less secure than the UK – told me she didn’t feel safe walking down the high street of our local town because of the large groups of men sitting outside coffee shops staring at passing women in a way she had not experienced in her (Muslim) home city.
Macheath by the way can be found here
21. Lord Toby’s site this morning
The youngest black professor in Cambridge University’s history, Jason Arday, is at the centre of a plagiarism row after academics came forward claiming large parts of his work are copied almost verbatim from others. The Telegraph has the story.
When Jason Arday became a Cambridge professor at the age of 37, he was lionised by the academic world and became a poster boy for the university’s diversity drive.
He had beaten almost impossible odds to get there. Diagnosed with autism, and non-verbal until the age of 11, he had only learnt to read and write at 18 but obtained a degree and a doctorate before forging a career in teaching.
Now, on the eve of the publication of his autobiography, the University of Cambridge’s professor of sociology of education has become the subject of a bitter row over plagiarism that has pitted his peers against each other.
20. TPA earlier
New analysis from the TPA eggheads this week revealed that there are expected to be 1 million more people paying income tax this year compared to last as a result of the ongoing freeze to tax thresholds. Burnham can talk about the cost of living all he likes but the reality is that tax is the main reason there’s pressure on household budgets. All told, ministers will take an extra £55 billion a year from taxpayers by the time the freeze comes to an end in 2030-31. Check out our full analysis here.
