Harry and Meghan #123 Too scared to speak to Gan-Gan because he’s a pathetic little man

[Poppea]

Well, I have personally heard her speak in three....so there is that. Granted, they were brief speeches....not conversational...but as I have mentioned before, I have taken beginning French THREE TIMES, and still struggle. When I am in France, it takes me days to acclimate...and when I return to Washington, my skills go out the window in weeks. I admire anyone who is bi-lingual, and anyone who has a broader range astounds me.

Edited to add: My son, who also lives and works here in Washington, speaks German and Russian for his work and is quite proficient after years of study and use. Being multilingual is not at all unusual here.

There is a difference between being fluent in a language and holding a pre-learned speech, possibly while having a cheat sheet! I am sure she can parrot just fine, as long as she has had enough time to memorize said speech. I've seen videos of her 'speaking' French. She says two or three MOST basic things and then switches to English. She can't even converse in simple sentences with Kindergarden children. This instant switch back to a language the person is fluent in, is a dead giveaway for faking it.

Trust me, I know what I am talking about. I am the stupid one in a family of multi lingual Einsteins. And I am a trilingual secretary/assistant. Almost everyone else in my family speaks five or six languages. I have learned four and forgotten two and a half of them

Comparison Harry and Donald Trump

You all forgot that both Harry and Donald Trump share an appreciation of the nazi’s

Harry dressed as a Nazi while Donald is a fan of the nazis and told chief of staff John Kelly that ‘hitler did a lot of good things’

Excuse me for being thick but what is Adderall??

Adderall is prescription only drug in UK but maybe not in USA..properly used it can help with ADHD …quite commonly used recreationally and the effects can be similar to Cocaine. One of the peculiar things about Adderall is if you are on it and drinking alcohol ..you don’t get slammed …so people sometimes end up with alcohol poisoning as they drink and don’t feel “pissed”.

Poppea....How many languages do you speak? ( Oh sorry....you've " forgotten them all") How many language classes have you taken? ( To help "remember ")
But more to the point....what has provoked this intense scrutiny of Melania Trump today?

Is she being scrutinised intensely? Must say I missed that, then

je m’appelle Melania - you’d get that in your first lesson. It’s hardly fluent. My kids speak more when we’re on holidays. She keeps swapping back to English.

She probably had to know a little French when working as a model (she is gorgeous) but was working with people of different nationalities so not ‘immersing herself in French culture’

i remember being in a restaurant in Paris with my husband. For some reason the American lady at the table next to me decided she would (without prompting) translate the whole menu for me. She got to Champignons and said ‘I don’t know that that means’ I replied ‘mushrooms’ but she just kept going

Yes, I would say Poppea is quite upset about Melania today. I was wondering why. Did I miss something in the news?

What's actually going on with Scabies? We know he's turned off replies to his tweets but was he forced to do it? The sugars on Twitter are saying "they've got his back" although there's not very many of them

Thanks for the new thread everyone

Was just replying to @Scotch Mist's comment at the end of the last thread but it closed before I could post it.


I agree completely. There's just too much stuff out there that I read and just think it's a load of tosh. These so-called sources on both sides seem to have upped their game and there's so much tattle (no pun intended) going round it's just got boring. They either know sod all, or are making stuff up to earn a few bob from the media. The stuff being quoted online is all anonymous and therefore unreliable. Most of the stuff Lady C says is just rehashed anonymous stuff from the Internet made to sound like she's heard it from one of her own 'sources'. I doubt her credibility also. From now on I think I'm just going to wait until actual news breaks about what they're up to next.

It's no wonder we are all fed up with them though. I joined the H&M threads pre-Megxit and I found I couldn't keep up anymore after the interview, due to a mixture of being fed up with them, the pace of threads and dealing with my day-to-day life, having 4 young kids and a mum with dementia to look after. I find it easier to drop back into the thread for a few days when there's been some big drama, or if I get the time I try and catch up on the last couple of pages every few days to make sure I'm not missing out on something big. They give us all something to talk about but we shouldn't let them take over our lives. I imagine the next big thing will be a photo of Lili. We all feel that something is coming don't we? One thing's for sure, it's never quiet with H&M around

My husband is a psychiatric nurse - these days he cares for elderly patients with Alzheimer's and dementia, and he truly cares for each and every one of them; always appreciating their past history and their lives before they got stricken with it

Intense scrutiny of Melania?

Your unfounded claims needed to be put into perspective. No intense scrutiny here. Just simple correction of unfounded claims.

Let me ask you a question: Why did the White House never confirm her claims. A quick google search found two articles right at the top of the page, both journalists had asked the White House for confirmation and never received an answer. Why is that? And why didn't the White House include this in her CV?

Is Melania Trump Fluent in Five Languages?

The first lady herself has stated in interviews that she is a polyglot.

www.snopes.com

I am half German, half Senegalese. I have learned Latin for 7 years and acquired an advanced Latin proficiency exam.

My other languages are English, French and Spanish.

I never said I've forgotten them all. Why do you twist my words? I said I've forgotten two and a half. Haven't used Spanish for nearly twenty years now, stopped reading in Latin sometime in the 90s and haven't read or spoken French for about a decade now. Even my once flawless English has suffered, because I stopped working a decade ago and lack practice.

People either do pick up math or languages easily. Never both. I guess you are good at math then. I suck at it. Not entirely, but I don't like it and find it illogical.

Anyways, No6 and his wifey suck at absolutely everything but moaning, pretending and being greedy.

Yes, I would say Poppea is quite upset about Melania today. I was wondering why. Did I miss something in the news?

Sorry, sounds like you are a stan. Reminds me of PWBWs sugars. Let her claim whatever and then be upset with those who fact check and call her out on her lies.

I am not upset. Ask anyone here, you'll be able to tell without a doubt when I am. Dr. Shouty Shola is Ghandi compared to upset me.

 

[Might & power]

I've just spent the last hour reading thru the replies to torontopaper1 on twitter now I have finally figured how to do it. God it's a rabbit hole!

3 Jan 2020..."darling you must tremble with fear now you have to go back? Where you going to go? Back to your depressing UK that you spoke of? What about the public? They don't forget. And the Family you never had are well prepared after the results"

DNA results? Explains her sweaty armpits in that vile brown outfit at Canada House london( 7 jan 2020)

8 Jan 2020...."remember the garden party? Couldn't fool the future king. This time it's bigger. It's over!"

This was the day they announced they were stepping down as royals. The comments suggest they were thrown out, not voluntarily left! By Charles!
Maybe this has all been discussed before but I only joined a few months ago.

Yes, I would most definitely say that you are upset concerning Melania Trump. Why?

 

[Nuttynana]

Yes, I would most definitely say that you are upset concerning Melania Trump. Why?

I only speak 2 languages English and total bollocks

 

[SoTransparent]

Yes, I would most definitely say that you are upset concerning Melania Trump. Why?

I didn’t think that was the case and this just feels like goading now. Can we leave these kind of spats to the Twittersphere and get back to discussing PWB and PWBFEW? This kind of arguing derails the thread and it is pointless for everyone else to trawl through it. Why don’t you just agree to disagree..

Excuse me for being thick but what is Adderall??

It's like Ritalin, prescribed for ADD. It's not illegal. Maybe it's untrue but lots of rumours:

The Highest Office

A former Trump intimate insists that Donald Trump is a known substance abuser.

Is Trump on drugs? Here's why that's the wrong question

After the Iran speech, another cascade of Adderall rumors — but amphetamines can’t explain Trump, or America

www.salon.com

Comedian Tom Arnold Accuses Trump of Snorting Adderall

"Donald Trump abused Adderall on the set & it made him crazy. He even snorted Adderall," Arnold wrote.

Meds for ADD/ADHD.

Comedian Tom Arnold? A former "intimate"? SALON????
This is really no different than M&H with their campaign of whispers against the RF. Let's plant some rumors and false stories and see how they fly.

 

[MistyWoods]

The National Enquirer may actually have some kind of goods. It's a... hmm not tabloid; what is it? It's a "supermarket publication" that actually "checks out" most of the time. (See what I did there?) I've noticed that they seem to run parallel to TMZ; I'm not sure if they're necessarily affiliated or not.

The National Enquirer was/is one of the US tabloids available & in your face at every check out line in the grocery stores & pharmacy stores. One of the ones that used to post constant pictures of Diana & family back in the day.

 

[Ubu1uk]

Somebody asked about Wally’s big news. On one of the fb groups they say she has done a big interview with the Mail On Sunday about bullying, bots etc. So if true we should see it this weekend.
