Bad timing for the cricket team, Froome etc... Their brief moment of glory will now disappear from the news.

I for one are happy for them both, she is probably terrified beyond belief, I know I was, but it will all be worth it :fingerscrossed:

I wish any woman having a baby well, but the wall to wall, 24/7 news coverage is utterly riduiculous. I really don't care and I totally fail to understand why so many people are so interested in the antics of publically funded strangers.

The 'tug the forelock' mentality to that family from so many beggars belief.

It's all to do with Britain being very British these days, I just hope it all goes well for her and every woman in the world delivering babies today :fingerscrossed:

It's not a 'tug the forelock' mentality - they are famous people, that's all. Think of them as the 'Posh & Becks' of the Royal Family.............

As we are now officially in baby mode, it's time to remind ourselves of this old chestnut......... :thumbsup:


Three couples, one English, one Scottish and one Pakistani, were anxiously awaiting the birth of their first babies. As luck would have it, all three ladies went into labour at the same time, and all were rushed to the maternity ward at the local hospital.

There was total confusion – and the babies got mixed up so that none of the nurses knew which baby belonged to which mother.

As the three fathers waited outside the ward to see their new babies, a senior nurse told them the problem, and suggested that the only way to sort out the matter was for each of them to simply go into the ward and choose the baby they wanted.

The Englishman went in first, and a few moments later came out carrying a dark-skinned baby.

The nurse said: “I don’t wish to interfere, Sir, but judging by the appearance of that baby, I am pretty sure it belongs to the Pakistani gentleman.”

‘Listen” replied the Englishman “one of the other two babies is Scottish, and I’m not taking any chances………..”

I get it- this is the birth of our future King/Queen. Fair play it's a headliner. I'm not sure we need a second by second account of who is going in and out of the hospital etc.

Now I wonder when he/she will actually get to sit on the throne...William is 31 and could well live to be in his 90's so its 60 years before the newborn may even get a sniff of it.
