So has he been having treatment for longer than we've been told? If not, why not?

I agree with En Passant and was just about to post the following: I've always thought all deaths should be recorded here, so that there is a single place to find them all. And also posted in their main category. In most cases the main category is obvious. So for most it would be two posts. I think it would actually negate the need for cross-posting.

I had a letter from her today - well, not her personally but on her behalf. It was to thank me for something we did locally to mark her birthday (9 January). Letter was dated 23 Feb so it must have fallen down behind the throne or summat. I think it must have been composed even earlier as it wished us a Happy New Year.

Agreed, the kind with a hook are much more useful and versatile than the others. I don't need a walking stick but I always take one when walking in the countryside, especially with dogs. It comes in handy for all sorts of things. Bashing down nettles, pulling down branches to reach fruit, testing the depth of water, holding back brambles ..... I once saw an old man who had fallen on the pavement (I was driving in traffic, so couldn't help). He was beside some railings and he had hooked his walking stick around the top bar and was managing to pull himself up.

Works for me. He was a chip off the old block, wasn't he? (Meaning he resembled his father)

1. She hasn't been seen because she's been ill and is recovering from debilitating surgery. 2. Because they regularly post family photos, and it was to mark Mother's Day. This whole thing is utterly ridiculous. Practically every celeb photo published has been edited in some way, why don't they "kill" those?

Just had a Negroni Gin, Campari, Martini Rosso I knew this would be a bit too far on the bitter side for me, but with plenty of ice in the glass and a good stir, plus a couple of fresh mandarin segments thrown in, it was very pleasant.

Added a couple for you.

Before you post. That secures your place. Then you come back and edit it, by which time you can see if anyone ninja'd you.

You've missed out Rover's scores. This is because he never leaves a place marker to show he's posting. Ah, that's better. Thank gods that's over and done with.

Indeed.

So these agencies are accusing the Prince & Princess of Wales of lying and deception? Nice. Ridiculous, isn't it. It's particularly common with young children in the photo as they tend to fidget and mess about and it's difficult to get one shot where everybody kept still. So you lift a better image from another shot and paste it in. I remember the photo of the late Queen with her great-grandchildren had people crying "photoshop" because it looked as it Louis had been pasted in. Most likely he was, so what? ETA Here's a sensible deconstruction of the offending photo.

There's been nothing in this round that I like, so I've been trying to help it towards the finish line as much as possible.

Lewd Squirrel is capitalised but you had it in lower case so that'll be why it didn't work for you.

I can't see anything wrong with it. We always get this shit from the antis.

Explain yourself.

A thoughtless comment, but not surprising considering the source. It's likely that the rings don't currently fit. The Princess was very thin before her surgery and she may well have been given steroids during her treatment which cause swelling and puffiness.
