1. She gave up one of her dogs - I don't understand why that was necessary but oh well. I can't imagine leaving either of my dogs behind when moving overseas.

2. Harry either knows more than the story given to the public, or doesn't know her family as well as he thinks he does, based on his comment about his family being "the family she never had." What the heck was that all about?

3. So he hasn't even met her dad yet? Wow, that's an interesting tidbit.

4. She changes her religion like a teenager changing sweaters in the spring. Apparently her "religion" depends on who she's marrying at the time. Interesting. Not in a good way.

Anyway, just a few observations. Time will tell. I hope everything works out for them.
Religion is mostly symbolic these days, so I don't think it will play a huge role.

That still doesn't answer my question. What are nippy eyes? You never responded when I asked, you just ignored it. That is the consideration, or rather the lack of it.

Saying now that it's the way you describe a face or eyes in Glasgow is still meaningless to me, it's telling me nothing. For all I know it could be that in Glasgow it means a person with nippy eyes is someone who is blind and possesses no eyes at all and that the person has a Glaswegian mouth with no teeth.

So what are nippy eyes? Is it possible it means something really obscene and vulgar or smacks of racist bigotry and that's why you don't want to answer?

I'm sure some people see it that way. Others, not so much.

Considering her father-in-law and brother-in-law will be head of The Anglican Church, and considering that in order to covert to Judaism she has to reject Christ's divinity, and now she is going to conveniently accept Christ again...

...yeah, she is not the best choice.

when I looked it up on the internet in Scottish Slang it seems to lean toward stinging. perhaps scolding or bad tempered.

so a personality trait not obscene, vulgar, or racist.

and given her behavior during the engagement announcement interview and outtakes, she definitely whupped Harry up good as we would say in my neck of the woods. He could barely get a word in edgewise and said so. just assuming that is what he wants...

Being as you're of the female persuasion diz, I wouldn't expect Pippa's rear end to have done anything for you, (oh, and I had to ask my Scots niece to translate boaks),
and even though I'm old enough to know better, my eyes were doing cartwheels as she followed her sister into the Abbey, be still my foolish heart.
Pippa is definitely attractive, but I think that Kate has her beat in the looks department.
Getting back to the thread, there were some excruciating photo-shopped pictures and non PC cartoon WhatsApps flying around on social media, I'm surprised that no one got banged up in The Tower.

Thanks for that information about what nippy means in Scottish slang. Here in Canada nippy means biting cold winter temperatures. As in "It's nippy outside tonight." Or it can mean a dog or horse that is nippy, as in it uses it's teeth to suddently, unexpectedly nip at others.

Just for clarification, it was Pippa Middleton and her mother that Dizzybint had referred to as having nippy eyes, not Meghan Markle. I didn't know what it meant and was (still am) puzzled by such a comment about a mother and daughter who both seem to be ordinary but pleasant and inoffensive looking women in their appearance. I think they have nice eyes.

I think Catherine is very attractive and classy in looks, mannerisms and demeanour as befits her station. Hopefully Meghan will develop more classy looks and mannerisms as she grows into her new station

Harry & Megan are in Brixton as I write, on my home turf. At least they get to see it before it's completely changed most probably for the worse. I like the fact they're making time for community radio.

I guess you didn't see them in person?

I saw the photos of Meghan blowing kisses, hugging "fans", giggling behind her hand, and clinging to Harry.
