Is it just me that realy can't get excited about the birth of a Royal baby. I am not anti royals but do we have to be there for the contractions?
 
Yup, couldn't give a care about it (as long as happy and healthy like I'd wish for all babies)

I just cannot for the life of me see the fuss of this soap opera these days.
 
Yep I agree with the above , plenty of other people having babies today , but they aren't making the news.
 
I ay interested tbh great for them but we am too busy celebrating our Vital Villan baby Buddy tbh ;)

As I have stated on many occasions, we live in the age of celebrity where fame is a goal in itself. In years gone by people became famous for doing something or being a person of note, now fame is a career in itself. When Jade Goodey became a big star, a successful millionaire and the nation went into mourning when she died I knew that society's values were changed from the Britain that I knew and grew up in. Personally I believe it started with the death of Princess Diana, it became a bandwagon, people who previously didn't really bother went into a state of mourning. Personally I shed a tear when Freddy Mercury died, it was a sad occasion and marked the end of a musical era. When Diana dies, I was surprised and felt sorry for her family and friends but that was the extent of it for me. I think this was one of the first signs of England and Britain losing it's spine, sense of identity and national pride.

Ramble over as I'm at work and really need to get on.....I could go on for hours about this.
 
To some extent I agree VOTN. The Royals have always been in the media by the very nature of whom they are, so I don't hold with them being career celebrities. I remember my Mom's scrapbooks of the Royal Family from when I was a little. The Royals were always the 1's who had the status.

I agree when Diana died the nation changed. The sheer outpouring of grief (of which my family also took part) because we were all so upset was the start of the change.

Like anything when things change, there is always an up and down side to it. The nation mourned and it changed the very stiff upper lip of the British. Good or bad? In my opinion taking down some of the walls was no bad thing. Like anything there is a time when it can go to far. It really is what people do.

I also think with 7/24 media we are going to know far too much because the news needs to be filled. I think to some extent it couldn't break like this before because we didn't have the 24/7 news.

I mean look at 9/11: We seen it has it happened with the 2nd plane. I walked into my friend house as they were showing the first plane going in.

Yes ofcourse there are babies being born everyday as there are people dieing everyday. We have a RIP thread and we can't put every name in there of people who die, so the difference is?

The difference is how much it interests you?

I personally have been through some very extreme times emotionally with the Royal family. I went through years of loathing after Diana died, like most. Then at some stage for whatever reason I started to mellow as I started to see things differently.

Love or loathe Diana (and most loved her) she bought about needed change in the monarchy, especially in her death. Also the monarchy only survived because of her boys.

Anyway to finish it is news. I am pleased for them. It is nice to get happy news. Wonder where the name Diana and indeed Charlotte/Chantelle (female versions of Charles) will appear in the names

 
Well thats the way to do it, into hospital at half six in the morning, drop the thing out at half eight and back home by half six on the night. Settle down with a couple of beers and watch match of the day. Sorted.
