I wish I had a name like Dickie Arbiter.

― on the cusp of eligibility (Ned Trifle II), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 11:58 (fifteen years ago)

JESUS CHRIST DON'T SCARE ME WITH A THREAD TITLE LIKE THAT.

― Wheal Dream, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 11:58 (fifteen years ago)

Also, WTF is a "service wife"?!??! That sounds like some kind of medieval vestige.

― Wheal Dream, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:01 (fifteen years ago)

Oh. Military service? I was really racking my brains because honestly it sounds like something a 1930s batchelor pad would come with. "all mod cons, trouser pressing unit, spare room for your butler, service wife."

― Wheal Dream, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:07 (fifteen years ago)

I think it means someone married to a military officer?

Yes, it means she's have to go where he goes, have sherry mornings with the other wives, that type of thing. I just thought Dickies comment was a nice contrast with the usual platitudes from the politicos.

― on the cusp of eligibility (Ned Trifle II), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:17 (fifteen years ago)

Or maybe something to do with the church?

http://nihilobstat.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/romancatholicwp.jpg

Either that, or they meant someone who had *been* in service, and honestly, they'd never let a member of the Lower Classes into the Royal Family, would they now.

― Wheal Dream, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:18 (fifteen years ago)

boring real answer

Dickie Arbiter, the Queen's former press secretary, told the BBC: "She'll become a service wife.
"He'll have to do his statutory royal duty, his royal bit, but he will be very much a working helicopter pilot with RAF search and rescue for the next three years, and Kate will have to get used to living in north Wales, although I think she's pretty much used to it at the moment."

Dickie seems to live in another world.

this news has triggered traumatic memories of those horrible lady diana blouses worn by millions of unimaginative girls c. 1981-2.

― estela, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:59 (fifteen years ago)

What did you yourself wear?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 13:05 (fifteen years ago)

lesbian/dexy's overalls, an oilskin jacket my friend made me out of her father's volunteer fireman coat that she stole, and doc martens.

― estela, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 13:13 (fifteen years ago)

Kate'll probably wear something like that to the afterparty.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 13:15 (fifteen years ago)

there hadn't been a fire in that district for years but a few weeks after the sewing session my friend's father was called out to a fire and he couldn't find his coat, that was not so good.

― estela, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 13:18 (fifteen years ago)

i was going to send kbp a tragic dexy's/lesbian overalls photo for him to lol at but luckily i haven't been able to find one.

― estela, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 13:20 (fifteen years ago)

Some of us had better things to do with our imaginations than worry about whether our *clothes* were our only means of displaying it or not.

This news story has reminded me of why I actually hate The Today Show, as they reported on it this morning EVERY FIVE MINUTES with the exact same information and interviews over the course of an hour.

The only reason I kept watching was to catch the interview with the Autotune the News folks, who were awesome and funny.

― Baron Strange of Knockin (DJP), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 14:54 (fifteen years ago)

All very good but is she the new 'Queen of Hearts'?

― on the cusp of eligibility (Ned Trifle II), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 14:56 (fifteen years ago)

I'm gonna try really hard to remember that "joking" or "thinking" about the spectacular only feeds it.

― Tommy Duckworth (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 14:58 (fifteen years ago)

daily mail commenter: "Her parents can't be overly happy. She has been largely unemployed since she left school and is now marrying someone who has been on welfare most of his life. With the new government's promise to cut housing benefit and force those who repeatedly turn down work into manual labour I do worry for them."

I'm more surprised that people actually care about this. The paps are just going to find some way to murder her anyhow. They love making the royals' lives a living hell.
