I fear the Harkles will be both hurt and disappointed by your failing to recollect the charming tale that Hazza shares with us in Spare.
After an evening spent with the King telling them stories of selkies (shape-shifters who appear as seals or beautiful women), the Harkles walked romantically on the beach the next day. Hazza tried singing to the seals in the hope that he could summon the selkies, but they blanked him. However, when his beloved burst into song, the seals appeared in abundance. The simple Prince took this as firm evidence that his beloved was truly magical. There is no mention of what she sang, but there is some speculation that it was 'Money (That’s what I want)' - the Lene Lovich version.
The happy couple returned to the castle where they encountered a grumpy chef who told them it was irresponsible to lure the seals close to the shore as they would be killed by orcas. That is to say killer whales, not Oprah Winfrey.
Fortunately, the chef did not dampen the ardour of the love-struck Prince.
However, this is the North Sea we are talking about and it is still true to say that vampires cannot cross running water.

Hey guess what, my Irish grandmother reckoned her husband's (my grandfather's) family were descended from seals/ selkies.

No singing involved though.
 
i think this is the same manifesting as the ‘apartment in New York’ and the move to Malibu. She doesn’t want to live in Portugal - she has no interest in anything Portugal has to offer, she only wants Hollywood access and fame. (She definitely doesn’t want to live on an estate - it’s not exclusive enough.
 
I know that the duplicitous duo like to use words as in jokes, so I was doing a little research on the Archie Harrison combo, bear with me. Archie in the urban dictionary means coccaine apparently, also the full name lends itself to Archi-bald- harrys-son. As he is nearly bald maybe he thought it was best to get in with the bald jokes first. Wasn't the name also code for Prince George, all rather strange whatever games they are playing.

It’s like that person that continually flounces and then comes back just to be sure - ie if we announce we’re leaving maybe all the people we want to be seen with will realise we’d be better off staying and they’ll finally be our friends?!
 
I’m going to be singing it all night long.

I couldn’t find a Lena lovitch version, but this is the 80s hit I know. flying lizards

Rachel is a lizard brained skanky Ho. She ruined the last years of PP and HM. For that I call her Skank Ho.

V sorry, I had merged Lene and the Flying Lizards in my memory. Not sure how that happened, I guess recollections may vary. :ROFLMAO:
 
Can you imagine Smegs living in Portugal 🙄 Here is an extract from Hello magazine about Eugene and Jack ……….

The Telegraph originally reported that the family moved into the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club because Jack is now working with property tycoon Mike Meldman, who is managing a 300-home development, but in fact the mother-of-two, 33, and Jack, 37, moved to Portugal's sun-soaked Algarve in 2022 to reside in a lavish family home in Comporta.
Eugene explained “This is why Portugal is the dream because I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind. Not care. No one cares," she said.


“NO ONE CARES” Eugene said …… how would Smegs cope with that? 😱😱😱😱
She needs to be in the news whether it’s good or bad, that doesn’t matter……. to be ignored would be her worst nightmare!
 
Michael Fassbenber and his wife Alicia Vikander live in Portugal (nearer Lisbon though)

Portugal is cheaper than the French Rivera (which they couldn’t afford)

Yes, I think it's over a £million people can buy their way into Portugal as a tax efficient place to live and still be able to move around Europe freely because of Schengen etc.

So if H&M are moving to Portugal it will be about the tax benefits. I know someone that was thinking of doing this (selling their business) but for some reason or other something's changing in the nearish future and they decided not as beneficial (I could be wrong and no actual facts in this post, but just saying it's something I've vaguely heard in the background of people selling up businesses and becoming resident in Portugal means they're quids in.

So typical leftie behaviour of saying paying full tax is for those working PAYE and those with other income streams don't actually need to pay their 45% tax etc same as everyone else.

Probably ahead of Kamala losing they're looking for somewhere to squirrel money away from a potential Trump presidency?
Oh just looked at the link I posted below and it explains what is changing, but discussing the benefits of still moving to Portugal.

You cannot have been resident in Portugal in the preceding five years and your status will last ten years. If you qualify, you will benefit from a 20% flat tax rate on employment/self-employment income, and an exemption for foreign income, such as employment income, rent, dividends etc.27 Feb 2024

Coincidence...I read "The Sea House" by Elisabeth Gifford just last month, was amongst the sale shelf at my local library, bargain at 50p! Scottish and Irish family links here too, but no selkie connections!

Also having homes there are Philip Schofield, Ant and Dec, Holly Willoughby and Cliff Richard.
They'd "fit" in well with that crowd! :sick:

Its the income thing that I was wondering about.
What actual or literal 'income' do they have? Neither work.
His only 'job' is Chimpo at Better Up. If he lives in Portugal, how can he do that job?
Their expenses claimed from Archewell?
Unless he is drawing an income from his capital? I guess he is.

Pissin' it down in Sydney. A portent of things to come perhaps. :cautious:


any crowds turned out to see Charles and Camilla?
Or are the public snubbing them, too?
 
Morning Tattlers!
