Kate Middleton: Middle-class girl with mother on the make? Or a victim of snobbery?

william does nothing for me - agree with Laurent, Harry's hotter. I will not pick a side because I don't give a feck. Hopefully, Kate will not become the next Camilla....

Maybe he should thank James Hewitt?

Heh, I think he does look remarkably like James Hewitt. He was kinda sexy back in the day.

I don't care about either of the Princes. Wills is not the cutie he used to be and the other one, while cute, seems like a lunkhead. Kate dodged a big bullet, imo. The only attractive thing about the royal family is their stables.

Lady Di was from an aristocratic family, descended from the Stuarts (I think). Take your point with Fergie though.

Hardly anyone stays with the first person they fall in love with, and that's all that's happened here. I think he is the bigger loser by far though, as Kate has behaved with decorum throughout, and in any event has much better dress sense than he does and looks less like a balding horse. Either way, the people being vile about her poor mother need to grow up.

I have always thought Harry looks a lot like James Hewitt. Of course, they could just say he looks like Diana's brother.

I do think William is much cuter than Harry though.

And you know what they say about Harry, that he may have different ahem genes Harry is a red-headed version of my son in some of his (Harry's) pics. Freaks me out every time I see one like that.

I need a translation from one of the Brits on here...What does "fancy a pull" mean?

[southernbelle]

I was wondering about that, too. Maybe he wants her to jack him off?

[doriangray]

i think it means "do you want a draught beer". pull being the handle on the draught. i know they say "on the pull" when they go out drinking but i'm canadian so i could be wrong. we just get ripped.

In law, this is known as the principle of estoppel.

How? What was the representation made? Where is Kate's reasonable reliance that led to some form of detriment?

Kate's mom could sue for defamation if things keep going like this, but I"m not quite seeing how the equitable action would take off.

Pull = pick up

To paraphrase an Aussie comedien, this can be confusing for Australians in London, coz when someone asks you "Did you pull?" as in 'did you pick up?' you're just left standing there going "That's not what that word means in my country... where I'm from that's what you do when you DON'T pick up!"

[A*O]

'going out on the pull' = heading off to party and pick up chicks/blokes, usually for one night LOL
'he's on the pull' = he's looking for some action.
'did you pull?' = did you get any action?
