After a week of intensively promoting the BBC 1 program that was to on at 8.30pm today, the Beeb has wet it's knickers in excitement over royalty once again and are instead taking half an hour, or possibly more, to say "It's a boy".

Of course it's a boy, I've been saying that it was for ages. How did I know? Well it's obvious. The politicians have been urgently engaged in preparing more equality legislation to ensure an eldest child if a girl could accede to the throne. That made it certain that Murphy's law would intervene and render their efforts a waste of time.

They haven't actually got ratification from parliament yet, so they may put it on the back burner for a few decades now.

P.S. Gone 9pm and the Beeb is still at it, half an hour obviously wasn't enough to announce a gender!

What's all the fuss about, it's only a baby and we've got too many as it is. This just adds to the problem. Now if she'd done something useful like perfect cold fusion, I might be interested.

i was all settled and ready for that program too - getting more annoyed as the minutes went by. I expect we'll get this for days now, if not weeks.

That would've taken about 10 seconds, then we could've got on on with out programme. How could they last that out for an hour, and then do it all again on the News?

Actually, it is a form of brain washing.
Go to Holland or Belgium where they do not make such a fuss of their royalty who are seen as the irrelevance that they really are in a modern state.
Actually, I think that this over hyping is rather more serious in its effects.
The concept of instant celebrity has permeated many levels of society. Look at all the hopeless 'wannabees' we now have, all expecting instant recognition for their questionable skills.

Tsssss.....what a cynical lot you all are :rolleyes:

Mind you, its understandable of course, I realise it would have been different if he had been born with a Bosch motor between his legs,or even. dare I say, a Tonaro crank motor....... at least it would have given you all something you found far more enjoyable to argue and moan about :p

Let's just hope he's not ginger

Yes, let's hope so. That would be awful and could raise speculation that James Hewitt has been, "busying" himself again. New Royal baby is Prince Harry's half brother, now there is a headline.

It is and I am sorry.

Anyway, it looks like we were all wrong about the name. The new baby will be known as, Prince Damien Satanus Vader Sauron Thatcher Joffrey Charles Manson Savile Dalek Windsor.

Welcome to the World, child. Perhaps during your life-time every child will enjoy the advantages of education, health care, clean water your family takes for granted - and maybe, the term 'Third World' will cease to have any meaning?
Best wishes (and may your first vehicle be an e-bike!)

OK,well, no matter what our opinions are on the pros and cons of royalty etc, this is an innocent new born baby we are talking about here........

Who is going to be the first of our forum retailers to gift an electric bike to the royal baby ?.......could be worth it for the publicity, after all, it would be an unusual gift for a newborn lol

and btw....."James Michael Matthew Thatcher Windsor" sounds pretty impressive to me :p

The biggest disaster this country ever had was the Restoration. The hereditary grace and favour system permeates the fabric of this country like the root system of Japanese Knotweed. It's not the Royal Family any more; like the awards system and celebrity 'culture' they are a side show to the main event. The rampant greed of the haves and wannabe haves fuels the fires of corruption and irresponsibility. Greed it seems, really is good. It isn't American values we should be looking towards but modern European values.
