Seemingly trivial things that intrigue you

Couple of interesting things re that mountain bike photo. She appears to be wearing the same boots as the mother’s day photo. Well ok they’re maybe her favourite boots.
However she rides her bike wearing the big sapphire engagement ring, but not for the photo shoot with the kids. 🤔

Once you get a 'little' bit engaged in the KM photo thing, it does open up an awful lot of scenarios that are pretty interesting, some batsh*t mental and many that are reasonably possible.
You would 'think' that if all was rosy in the garden then they'd roll her out for a few pics and shut it all down. The fact that they don't seem to be able to do that and are absolutely making a meal out of not doing so does create some intrigue.

You'd also think all that is required is to tell the truth, get an outpouring of sympathy and then be left alone.

She should be obliged to reveal her medically history to satisfy the nosey?

No. I think all they have to do is say that recovery has not been as quick as anticipated and is on-going.
The options are not just zero or infinity. Obvious deceit leads to curiosity. I didn't care until the stupid photo.

Nah but she also need to recognise that people are nosey about princesses so it might just be easier/better to let people know.

Her main earning job is to be in the limelight, and they feed stuff to the press (see the fawning DT coverage) so should not be surprised that people are going to be curious.

I'd assume if it was the sort of thing that most people are happy to talk about then she would. How many vaginal prolapse chats have you had?

lol genuinely, about 3, not inside my family (nor inside tbf, but I figured that is different). Joys of NCT where in a brief 12 week period, couples seem to think it's Ok to share that stuff with other NCT couples.
Problem for Kate is that birthing children is quite an important role in a hereditary monarchy, so there is obviously more interest in her reproductive organs than for others.

She'd be fulfilling an educational role if she did talk about it, if that's what's happened. And if it's a bit of a taboo, then she'd be helping a lot of people by being open.
If she didn't want to be in the limelight, marrying the heir to the throne probably wasn't a great move. There was plenty of precedent to see the sort of things that royals have to put up with, and unlike those born into royalty, she did have a choice.

It's the down side of being in such a high profile role I guess. As I'm sure I've written elsewhere on this thread when people go on about how privileged they all are etc. there's no way I would swap lives with them. You're effectively public property and will never have a private life and the wealth / comfort just isn't worth that.

The official communication was the she would be back to public duties after Easter. The photo was a big mistake by someone. Should have stuck with the schedule called it sick leave and none of this would have happened.

My latest email from Sigma. "Your last purchase was Vittoria CorsaG2.0 at £34.99, why not consider GP5000 at £69, Cinturato Velo TR at £71 or GP4S at £66?".
Eh, no thanks.

Things that intrigue me - Double bow shoe lace knots.
How is it that you can pull one end of a lace and it seamlessly undoes? It’s like some weird rope trick.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

My Internet went down last night. I went to restart the router and it was completely dead so I checked the power cable to ensure it hadn’t come loose, checked the plug was fully in the extension cable and found nothing wrong. I then went to get something else to plug into the extension lead to check if the lead was faulty but was resigned to having to contact BT for a new router. I then spotted the switch at the wall socket was in the off position which sorted the issue out.
Considering the only other person in the house when the wi-fi went down was the wife and we were sat next to each other in a different room I can’t work out how the switch got pressed. I assume it must have got knocked by one of the dogs but the switch isn’t in an easy place to get knocked accidentally and is quite stiff to press.

Someone made a design choice in this Edinburgh hotel room
In theory it's two doors to two tiny balconies but the doors are locked.

It's not like anyone would be interested in the view of one of the country's major landmarks.

Doors being locked are elf & safety. Doubt it was the architect's intention.

They probably open them when they charge triple for the festival and hogmanay fireworks. People don't get shitfaced for those events, so it should be fine.

Sorry? People don't get shitfaced at hogmanay? I presume your post to be satire.

No you don't get shitfaced at Hogmaney. That's just the lead up. As my Ingerlaander ex learned on her first exposure to real life the lead up to midnight is paced and controlled. When the bells chime, then it's bring it on... which is why Scotland always had Jan 1st as a public 'holiday'.

I am fully aware. Having a Scottish heritage meant New Year started sober at midnight. In fact I hated Hogmanay as it was basically a house cleaning day/night as you had to enter the New year in as good a position as possible. Then wreck it. 🤣😉
I used Hogmanay as a catchall.

I would say that times have changed with regard to pre-midnight sobriety. Significantly.

Totally. Traditional Hogmanay is a thing of the past. Can anyone imagine an open door policy with strangers walking in these days? I lament that part though as the house parties were so much better than the organised version today.
Or everyone being bladdered before midnight just watching TV.

How algorithms work, or don't in this case.
I decided to change the cabin air filter on my car, so I looked at YouTube for a how-to video. I'm then treated to adverts.
It makes me wonder how many people looking to do a DIY change of a cabin filter on 2014 Vauxhall, would then go on to buy the electric Aston Martin that they were advertising.

Never mind people who have a 2014 Vauxhall, who the hell is going to by a battery powered Aston? 😊
