I wonder what Charlene’s white husband thinks about it all?
I wonder what Charlene’s white husband thinks about it all?Charlene isn't prepared to debate or discuss. It's always a case of she is right, and if you question her or even just disagree, the inference is that it must be because you doubt the thoughts, intelligence, culture or experience of a black woman.
It's as if she takes it as unconscious bias, rather than a genuine alternative viewpoint. And then she is condescending, because she sees that person as too stupid to recognise their racism.
I find the "in our community" stuff really patronising as well. I'm aware that black people say auntie and sister, and that afro hair is different to white hair. I don't need to be educated on these things like a child.
Isn’t Christine on Lorraine this week or was that just a feature I saw advertised?Maybe it was meant to be Christine. I know Eamonn is off all week from GBNews so presumably Ruth is off this week as well
As a mum to 3 September babies, it’s Xmas you relax more and oh bfp mid jan. plus September is the most common birth month, I suspect she’s chatting shitSorry if any of you have already read this over on the Charlene thread but I felt it needed posting here too.
Something Kelle said yesterday is really bugging meKelle said that when TTC her two children she made a plan of the exact dates to try to give her the best odds of her children being born in September as she wanted them to be the oldest in their year and therefore giving them an advantage over their classmates who may have been born later in the academic year. That’s all fine, each to their own, most people are just grateful to be able to get pregnant but…. on Monday she said that she was told it was very unlikely that she was ever going to have children because of her Lupus condition. It was only when she had been told that her Lupus was dormant for a short time that she was given the go ahead to try for a baby. Very convenient (and lucky) that her Lupus was dormant at the exact time she needed to be able to time a pregnancy so accurately that BOTH her children were born in September!
I must admit I did try planning it so that mine were born at least before Christmas but just didn’t work out that way for me (1 born March and 1 in May) but yes I agree, people are more relaxed at ChristmasAs a mum to 3 September babies, it’s Xmas you relax more and oh bfp mid jan. plus September is the most common birth month, I suspect she’s chatting shit
Christine covered Lorraine last weekIsn’t Christine on Lorraine this week or was that just a feature I saw advertised?
Ruth might have the week off from LW or it could have something to do with Eamonn’s bombshell interview last weekend when he slagged off quite a few people at ITV. Ruth has still been going to work at QVC this week though
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Yesterday was just awful, smirking when Janet tried to get her point about respecting adults across. if anything, it’s Charlene and Kelle who are racist….I agree with everything that has been said about Charlene & Kelle. I cannot stand either of them. And it's not because of their race. It's because they are both so biased & rude it makes them both so unlikeable. Charlene in particular has real attitude and she always has to be right! And Kelle eyerolling like mad when Janet or Jane are talking about something! Rude!
I also hope Stacey doesn't return but unfortunately I think she will
And why have we had to endure Linda for 3 days in a row...don't they usually just do two?
She’d have been the oldest in her year at school, my birthday is 31st August and I was always the youngest, a day later and I’d have started school a year later and been the oldest….I must admit I did try planning it so that mine were born at least before Christmas but just didn’t work out that way for me (1 born March and 1 in May) but yes I agree, people are more relaxed at Christmas
I went to school with someone born on 2nd September and her parents chose to wait another year before letting her start school so she wasn’t the youngest in the year.
The cut off was 2nd September in our County (don’t know why? It was the 70’s so may have been different then to now) so she would have been classed as the youngest the same as you which is why she was given the choice.Couldn’t have said it better myself!

How strange, I started school in 1978 and the cut off then was 31st august, as it is now. I actually started school the following Easter as in those days they did 3 intakes (Sept, Jan and Easter) but I’ve often wished my mum had deferred my start date until the following year. Not least because my best friend was a week younger than me but in the year below me at school - we ended up drifting apart when I started senior school. I also had a school friend whose birthday was 1st September, I’d only just turned 16 and she started driving lessonsThe cut off was 2nd September in our County (don’t know why?

Very strange. This is what she always told us. It would have been about 1978/79 too. Now you got me thinking she made it up. We all just believed her at the timeHow strange, I started school in 1978 and the cut off then was 31st august, as it is now.
