the First Lady of Nigeria was definitely calling out Meghan Markle, 'why is she coming here' and a direct reference to 'nakedness' and 'hollywood stars' was to tell people 'we don't approve, don't listen to the western media, she's not a role model to us' and as a congresswoman and first lady that statement was meaningful.
As an African lady although not Nigerian, she was definitely calling her out? She does not buy her 43% Nigerian story. Markle failed to impress the Nigerian elites.
I agree with you, she also doesn’t impress the poor people,that were kept out of sight . I would have preferred the money that this I fiasco cost the country, to go to those people
@@hollyshinners4189 Highly doubt it. She is too affraid to confront her in laws. She uses money to get what she wants.Without that she will be totally rudderless. She lacks the gumption to make a real success of anything
The First lady was absolutely fantastic, she has done more worldwide to tick off MM, than anyone has dared to do. She cannot just sweep in and behave likes she wants to do, and this lady put her in her place
But… wait.. as much as I agree with you, the fact remains that she DID!! She absolutely swept in and behaved exactly like she wanted to!!! FINALLY, this woman stepped up and called her out, but only well after Markle was out of the country and back in the states …. As good as that was ….Markle needS called out in REAL TIME and TO HER FACE….. only then will anything change, or at least , there will be some sort of satisfaction, ( for us/me!!) or maybe she’ll face some well deserved consequence!!
@@jomarsh6449 I'm sure the First Lady of Nigeria had to be diplomatic and not publicly embarrass the Minister of Defense who was hosting the couple at the time. I think her statement was impactful and threw a wet blanket over the couple's claim that the visit had been a success. Harry's "43% Nigerian" wife should feel ashamed by her immodest wardrobe choices, but I don't think she actually cares. I had to laugh when she was presented with more modest Nigerian clothing, like that beautiful blue skirt and colorful scarves and wraps, so she could cover up - LOL!
Yes, if your going to a country to claim it as your 'motherland' and your heritage, then you at least research it beforehand so you adapt to your new culture!!!
When the 1st Lady of Nigeria said at the end of her speech “ why is M looking for Africa?” My take was why is she making a big deal about finding her roots, but is still dressing half naked like they do in Hollywood. She refused their food, their clothes and disrespected their culture!!!
She did not say, “why is Meghan looking for Africa.” She said, why did Meghan come to Nigeria looking for Africa.” I believe she made that comment to let Meghan know that she does not believe that Meghan is 43% Nigerian. I believe it’s another made up story by Meghan.
I think what the First Lady of Nigeria meant by, "why is M looking for Africa?"...is...M is what, 42 ish, had to have noticed, from a very young age, that she, along with her own mother, as well as Grandparents, her Aunt's, Uncle's were black...that her ancestors would have originated from Africa...that she should have had a very substantial connection to that part of her ethnicity, ie: the culture, music, beliefs etc and should have embraced it all throughout her life...(m is definitely not naive). Instead M shows up, disrespectful of traditions, rictus grin, with her cameras, half naked, trying to lecture people about things she knows nothing about to people she clearly doesn't give a s**t about and instead it's all about her, being the centre of attention, her wealth, her exploitation of people who she shares dna with. She shouldn't have had to "look" for Africa as it should have been inate, inherent. I think the First Lady of Nigeria, was expressing caution around deceivers, who come into their country, who display a flagrant disrespect of their cultural traditions and norms, in combination of classlessness, superficiality, and arrogance are not to be considered "role models" by anyone. My thoughts and opinions.
As a daughter of a diplomat, it was drummed into my head to always respect a country’s culture. Meghan definitely disregarded doing the correct and respectful thing. As an American, it was an embarrassment. Meghan is a 40+ year old, educated at a top university, and a former “Royal” and definitely must know better. In any case, she (and Harry) thumbed her nose on Nigerian conservative values, a huge disgrace. What I found so interesting was the number of people and media who kept remarking how beautiful and stylish she was and completely missed the point that she dressed inappropriately. And who can believe the 43% Nigerian bit? Look at Georgina Lawton’s picture and she looks like she could be 43% Nigerian. But Meghan? Who is she trying to fool?
The first lady criticized MM and western democracies. FGM is still done in Nigeria, girls are sold into marriage and women don‘t have the freedom and rights we do. MM did nothing for the issues of the women, she did the opposite. Which is sad in so many ways.
I agree, Mehgan didn't help anyone and has even probably set back the cause of young women hoping for more flexibility with clothing. Their parents will probably be even stricter for fear their daughters will end up like Mehg! Eek!!
She had no intentions of helping women her sole purpose was to promote herself she was so rude inappropriately dressed I’m not surprised that the First Lady of Nigeria 🇳🇬 told her about herself and good for her she must be the first person to tell her what she really is
Anna key you are definitely right Ragland has done more harm to the Nigerian girls. The first lady said to salvage our girls and probably the men will clamp down even more.. WELL done RAGLAND
The First Lady was trying to instill in the younger generation the moral importance of modesty. Meghan WAS being thrown some shade, , but she is also the “in the news” celebrity and was being used as an example of moral corruption, which is NOT beautiful. Love you, Shauna!❤
Yep, totally agree here too, that was my interpretation of the First Lady Tinitubu's comments. It seemed clear to me, especially with the inclusion of M's name and M' s assertion of genetic heritage being referenced. No room for ambiguity (unusually.)
💯 she eloquently imparted several messages to the women present to be role models for Nigerian women and girls, to believe in themselves and their natural beauty, that nakedness in public was unbecoming and vulgar, importance of maintaining cultural values, and who in her display of too much bare skin spoke to youth claimed to be one of them with the unacceptable "I see me in you" story, trying to win them over. That was a smackdown to MM that she was rudderless, self-absorbed, shallow and was not accepted as a daughter of Nigeria.
I don’t think it was your friends view. Mainly because the Prime Minister and First Lady allegedly had not agreed with the two visiting and kept well away from the celebrations. My impression was the First Lady was extremely disappointed that Megan had flaunted herself in a very conservative country. Let’s face it the clothes were not suitable for any country. I have a theory that she dresses badly because it gets talked about more than nicer clothes. I didn’t feel the First Lady was inviting her back or to look after her The biggest problem with the Nigerian situation is so many people don’t believe the 43% and once again she has no proof. Who would claim her as their own with no proof.
Why didn't she mention the 43% Nigerian heritage when she was claiming the 24% Maltese heritage? What is the remaining 33%? Maybe she is waiting to decide what country she wants to scam next.
I’m surprised mainstream media isn’t mocking them for what the First Lady said. Thanks for your reflection on this. I don’t think they are being politically used. They didn’t get an invite from Jamaica. They went with the Paramount CEO. My take on what the First Lady said, firstly, she spoke about nakedness, actresses, and the Met Gala (we saw how many of the women dressed) and then she said know where you come from, be proud of who you are and then said why did Meghan come here. In around about way, she was saying Meghan came here to learn about her culture but instead brought her nakedness. She was telling the girls don’t be lured by Hollywood and be proud of who you are and where you come from. That’s my take. It was a scolding!
When I was a lot younger and living on the lower north shore. I used to catch the Cremorne Ferry to work and was told by mother to always carry a spare pair of knicker in your purse. You just never know. Well, one morning I was on the ferry an was rummaging in bag for something in the bottom of the bag. When I went pull out the item, out flew the knickers into the lap of the gentleman next to me. 🤦♀He handed them back to me & said I’m glad you’re prepared. I died of embarrassment.
Re Waldorf Astoria. My father was a newspaper editor in the 1950's & often went to events there with my mother & my grandparents, who were visiting from England. All was going well ie fine food & drink, interesting company etc when Granddad, having happily eaten his way through the menu, leaned back in the chair to listen to the speeches, awards etc. He had false teeth which fitted badly but post war, folk didn't have much money to upgrade. So, to relieve the discomfort, he took out the bottom set, discreetly into his pocket handkerchief, and into his trouser pockets. Then he sneezed. Without thinking, he hastily whipped his handkerchief out of his pocket to politely hide the event, forgetting his bottom set of teeth were wrapped in it. The teeth flew across the table, over someone's shoulder and slid under a table the far side of his table. Amazingly, no one but he had noticed. He then started crawling under the table to retrieve them, unnoticed except by my family by this point. Mom & Gran were mortified but dad was in fits. Dad paid for better fitting teeth after that!

My take on the First Lady's speech: blatant go at MM, no question, and Hollywood superficiality. I took the "Why is Meghan coming looking for Africa" question as something like this: black film stars from the USA don't know where they are coming from, MM came to Africa to find her roots, because she has no roots, compared to Nigerian women and girls who know exactly who they are and where they are coming from. She says: "We know who we are and don't lose who you are." She discourages Nigerian and African women from seeking role models in the USA. MM was proudly declaring herself a role model for African girls and the First Lady took her down swiftly.
@michelle3952 I agree, it was a massive takedown. I'm sure Harry's "43% Nigerian" wife will simply dust herself off and move on to another country to exploit - perhaps Ghana? Sadly, she needs to get enough video content for her next Netflix offering.
Hi Shauna. To be honest, I took the words of the First Lady .... "We are confident, beautiful girls, we don't need to take our clothes off", (or words to that effect). ""They don't know who they are. What did Meghan come to Africa to find"? .... I'm roughly paraphrasing, but I took her to mean that Nigerian women know who they are, beautiful, without taking their clothes off. They don't need to emulate people (Meghan) searching for an identity.
The first lady even said , " what is neghan in Africa for ', something like that. I also believe it was meaning first lady didn't believe mm was 43% Nigerian
And that wouldn’t make Doria even more Nigerian? The only problem in this case, Doria is link to Ghana and The Ivory Coast, not enough percentage to make this realistic.
The First Lady of Nigeria DEFINITELY took a huge swipe at Meghan, the disastrous Hollywood culture which has swept over the world with all of it’s perversions of fame and womanhood and made an appeal for decency, modesty, self-awareness and self-respect! This wonderful woman of Nigeria has more sense and decency than most people of the „West“! She called out „the Empress in new clothes“ for what she represented and presented!!!! I truly bow 🙇🏻♀️ my head to this intelligent and true Lady!
Hello to you! Always a pleasure when you are in the comments. Listening to him on a few interviews has been one of the bright lights of the years with the despicable duo in the limelight. Chances are he wouldn't have been on my radar here in the USA and that would have been my loss. I wish we could see and hear more about him and the working members of the BRF. Mr. Edwards comes across as an ideal podcast/conference/dinner guest. We have a treat coming our way.
@@juliesuris8906 I think if you remember back to some of the more memorable photographs of the royal family, you may find that Arthur Edwards just may have snapped them. I will always remember when Prince William fondly waved to Arthur Edwards and mentioned him by name to Princess Catherine as they presented their newborn son, George, to the waiting pack of royal photographers. That simple act was so touching, and it demonstrates how beloved Mr. Edwards is to a young man who has contempt for many of the other photographers he saw hounding his poor mum.
@@lisalivingston6473 Thank you for sharing that anecdote! Prince William seems to be a genuinely good person who recognizes the qualities and achievements of others.
Oh Shauna😂I had such a good laugh tonight! It was like a breath of fresh air or maybe a holiday! I love your sense of humour. My little 2 year old grandson was sitting on my lap at a restaurant while we were celebrating a family birthday, when he made such a loud, long noise from his nappy region. All air and no substance, but everyone at the table heard it and I jumped in surprise! When I said laughing, ‘what on earth was that - It made my leg vibrate!’ He looked around proudly and said loudly ‘I FARTED!’ I was convulsed in laughter and the more I laughed , the more he laughed and a few more explosions followed. From him of course! Soon everyone at the table was laughing too! I’m 62 and my sense of humour has remained the same as a 2 year old’s 🤣
In my opinion, the way MM was dressed during the Nigerian trip (bare back, showing cleavage and legs etc), I think the First Lady associated MM with nakedness. Her speech was not only aimed at MM, but also, those who attended and organised Met Gala (the real American film stars). I have to admit, I gasped out loud when I first watched the First Lady speech - it was clear that the First Lady did not tollerate her behaviour, and taken the line 'why did MM come looking for Africa?', alluding to the fact MM had an ulterior motive for traveling to Nigeria.
Same here! Shauna would have to be the cutest and sweetest cult leader of all time. 😂 Some of these people commenting take themselves and life entirely too seriously.
Dear Shauna, many, many years ago when the children were youngsters ( around 8-9) my daughter had a friend whose mum was a nurse, Leonora was on night shift and had a lovely old lady as a patient. She went in to check one night and she was sitting up in bed combing her hair. The lady asked if she would help put a bow in her hair as her late hubby had always loved her with a bow in her hair. Leonora asked why and the lady said sweetly that the angels were coming for her at 11.00 p.m. around the time she thought she’d go check on her in case she was disappointed. She was in bed with the loveliest smile on her face and she was gone. Leonora came straight to my place after shift for a talk and a coffee. It rattled her a bit but what a lovely - true - story. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I have a great embarrassing story. My father had recently died, and I was in the lawyer’s office where the Will was being read. As the lawyer was explaining the trust my father had set up, I reached into my bag with the intention of getting a Kleenex and ended up pulling out a tampon that had come out of its paper wrapper. The two strings attached themselves to my comb. Needless to say, everyone in the room was shocked (their jaws were firmly stuck to the floor), and I died a thousand deaths of embarrassment! Now 40 years later, whenever I remember that scene, I get a bad case of the giggles! 😂❤
Meghan had spoken about being a role model for Nigerian girls. So I think the first lady was trying to "undo the damage" to the girls who were already emulating western movie stars in increasingly revealing clothing.
My opinion of the First Lady of Nigeria's comments was that she felt terribly disrespected for the women of her country by Meghan's dress during her visit. I totally agree with her sentiments, young impressionable girls are being toooo influenced by what they see in the movies, music videos and women of influence who show way too much skin. Meghan should really have known better when she went to Nigeria, she should have respected the culture of the country as anyone should.
Hi Shauna! When I was 18, I worked in an office for a millionaire in Houston TX. For his 60th birthday, his wife invited all the employees (+1) at a very posh restaurant on the top floor of a very posh hotel. We all sat around one very large table with the boss at the head of the table. A waiter was going around and asking each guest if they would like a cocktail. When he came to me and asked me the question, I replied “What kind do you have?” He told me they had every type cocktail I could want. So I thought for just a few seconds and replied “I’ll take the shrimp.”
About 20 years ago, my friends and I went on a trip to New York. We arrived early evening and were advised to stay awake. We were told there was an Oyster Bar at Central Station that was popular. When we arrived it was closed. Someone told us a new restaurant had just opened so we climbed the stairs and it was obviously upmarket. We weren't at our best so we decided to turn around when this voice said "can I help you ma'am' I explained that we'd just arrived from London and we just wanted a light meal. He called a waiter over and told us to have what we wanted. As we were sat, we noticed people acknowledging him. When we finished, I went over to thank him. Then i blurted out, "You're tall"! To which he responded ",yes 6 7, what are you 5.10. (Which is tall for a woman) I was impressed he'd guessed my height. We left thinking what a lovely man. We were talking to someone the next morning to be told that Michael Jordan had opened a restaurant the night before at Central Station! No photographic evidence!!
Shauna is so witty and funny, doing a pretend hypnotic order to not obey her! Let's disobey the "do not obey" order and sip away with her and each other. 🍵🥛🍷
I love your videos, Shauna! I have a scary story. As an operator/dispatch at a Phychiatric hospital, I often worked the night shifts. That meant working alone in the administration building on the first floor. Whenever I needed to use the ladies' room, I had to notify the supervising nurse on the third floor ( the only other person in the building). As I walked into the bathroom, the sensor lights went on, and I walked towards the nearest stall. As I walked, I heard the toilet paper roll in the third stall and stopped. I know I was the only one there, so I walked to the third stall and saw the paper roll spinning on its own! I ran out of there! When I got back to the dispatch office, the phone was ringing. The supervising nurse asked if everything was okay? I said, "Yes, why?" She said that she had just gotten a call from my office. However, when she answered, she said the phone was silent, so she hung up and called. I explained it couldn't have been me and explained why. We both were puzzled. The hospital was established in the late 1920s, so I imagine it has a lot of dark history.
Spooky story for you. My husband and I were staying at an island resort. It was off season, few people staying in the beach units. There was no one staying in either of the units next to us. We were standing outside on the open porch, leaning over the second floor balcony railing watching the ocean. Suddenly, my husband said, “what’s that?” Drifting slowly by us, at eye level was a thick black cloud. It didn’t drift apart like smoke would. There are no cars allowed where we were staying, no trucks so not exhaust. Nobody was grilling. Not a regular cloud in the sky and this thing just slowly meanders by us. My husband said, “ that’s the weirdest thing, I almost felt like it was looking at us, checking us out.” My husband, of 55years is a lawyer, practical, down to earth, often has to have one of my silly jokes explained because he is so logical. It continued past us never falling apart, never changing shape. We scampered back inside the condo and stared at each other.
Like the person above me my instant thought is a cloud of midges/insects (even small bees.) l have seen swarms behave like that. They may have paused near your balcony because a lot of insects in swarms tend to head for darker/shade areas. Was there an overhang to your balcony? A door open? Something in shade nearby?
It floated, drifted by us at eye level, it was not a swarm of insects, a good call but this resembled more like smoke. But it didn’t change shape at all. I watched thick exhaust or smoke from a fire being put out and it changes shape and it never to my knowledge travels in a horizontal manner at a measured speed. We honestly don’t know what it was but I can tell you my husband, a very, very down to earth attorney, looked at me and said, once we were inside, “ That was the nastiest thing I have ever felt.” It wasn’t just creepy or strange, it was nasty, dark, makes my hair stand on end just to talk about it again.
Your funny stories about posh places reminded me of something from a few years ago. My husband and I were so excited to take a short cruise on the Queen Mary. It was something I always wanted to do and we were all dressed in our finery to have dinner in the silver service room. It was a wonderful night but when we got back to the cabin I saw in the mirror I had a hair roller on the top of my fringe. Why didn’t you tell me I asked. Oh I thought you knew he said.
Stop the presses! You chatted with Mr. Edwards!! Cannot wait for that - he's such a lovely man. And he reached out to thank you for your review (as we all do) and you were bright enough to seize the day! Brava! Shauna! And thank you in advance for putting a bright spot in the coming weekend. Now back to today's Gossip!
Fireman story My mother came from Ireland to London as a young women to be trained as a nurse for the war effort. In her very early twenties. Good Irish catholic girl from way into the boonies. And, by her own account, mad about dancing and thinking Epping Forest or wherever was like NYC compared with up the bog in Co. Sligo. One night, deep asleep in bed in the 2nd floor nurses’ dorm, she’s shaken awake - by a fireman, hauled from bed, slung over shoulder and carried down ladder. Ladder was resting on a street load of rubble, no front to building, her blankets were covered in glass. She was sweetly sleeping through an air raid and a very nearly direct hit. Thing is, she could not have been blotto as she could never have had the means for more than a couple of drinks. She remembered that night fondly for the rest of her life. Bless her! And thanks, Shona, I badly needed a laugh tonight!
When my sister was little (about 4) she used to bite her nails - mum tried everything to stop her (it was before you could buy the disgusting paint on stuff) Mum told her one time that if she didn't stop the nail bits would stay in her tummy and it would grow so big it may pop! One day we were all on a bus going into town and my sister spotted a heavily pregnant woman... My sister shouted and pointed "I know what you've been doing" Poor mum was so embarrassed and had to explain to the pregnant woman about the nail-biting horror story.
After growing up in a cult, this is one I will happily join! You give us the free will to choose our drink of choice, and sipping isn't mandatory (as Beauregard proves since he gets treats).
The First Lady of Nigeria asked why did Meghan come to her country to find Africa, it seemed to me she did not believe the 43% Nigerian story and was wondering why Meghan thought going there would be good for her image
I think the First Lady of Nigeria was calling out bad behavior, which was disrespecting the culture of Nigeria. megans showing too much skin in her clothing choices was a terrible example of someone ignoring local custom, as we could all see. She was dressed in night wear during the day while visiting a school. And she made everything about herself, it was her stage, she used the Nigerians to pump herself up in my opinion. I admire the beautiful First Lady of Nigeria and she is the real role model for these young students. megan markle has treated her father like dirt beneath her feet.
I just attended a conference at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. They had many photos of famous guests such as Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and Princess Diana. The Peacock Ballroom was amazing!. The flower arrangement, hanging from the ceiling, larger than any chandelier, filled the whole lobby with a beautiful fragrance. I was glad I got to experience it.
My funny spooky story. During my nurses training at the old Royal Adelaide Hospital, I was working nightshirt. A patient in her own room, who had Schizophrenia, buzzed the bell, And told me she could hear voices. I thought, oh yes, Schizophrenia, then realised I could hear voices. This room was odd with a corridor behind, so around I go with my torch and suddenly startled by the cleaners, who were cleaning the eye theatres, which was what was behind that room. We both screamed, then laughed. Funny enough, I now work in mental health, 30 years on, and of course what I thought about Schizophrenia was way off the mark anyhow.
Hi Shauna I’ve laughed, loudly at the embarrassing stories and have, finally plucked up the courage to tell you mine. Many years ago, when my adult kids were very small I was trying to wet shave my legs, before taking them to school. It was the normal chaotic morning, missing school books, lost shoes and bickering. In the rush I cut my shin badly with the razor and it started to bleed profusely. I had no plasters at hand and it was getting late for school so I grabbed a sanitary pad, tuned the adhesive tabs inwards and pressed it against my heavily bleeding leg! It seemed to stick well so off we ran ( book and shoes found) to school. After I dropped them off I headed to the chemist to get some plasters. As I walked past a white van I heard a voice shout from it, “Hey luv you’ve dropped something!” followed by roars of laughter! I looked down to see the, now blood soaked pad at my feet! In my desperate embarrassment I tried to kick it away only for it to attached to my shoe ( as the laughter from the van got even louder) and I had to grab it, shove it in my pocket and quickly go in the chemist! I bought the plasters, put one on in the shop and then waited until, eventually the van drove off! My daughter always likes to recall this story and did so at my 40th and 50th!
The story about the knickers on the floor incident reminded me of something that happened to me several years ago. I was driving to the store to return some panties that didn’t fit. My young teenage daughter was with me and she was in a bad mood, so I was trying to cheer her up by putting a pair of panties on my head like a hat while we were driving down the highway. She started laughing and we were chatting away, and I completely forgot that I had underwear on my head. 🫣. As we were sitting at a light waiting to turn off the exit, I suddenly realized what I had done when the guy in the next car over looked at me and cracked up laughing! I hurriedly went to yank them off my head when he put up a finger as if to say “Hold on a second!!”, reached into his backseat and quickly placed a pair of underwear on his head and smiled broadly. My daughter and I were DYING with laughter!!! Bad mood definitely cured in that moment!! I’m just hoping she doesn’t get up and tell that particular story at my funeral….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Arthur Edwards. He is such a gentleman. What a catch for you Shauna, it’s your Australian charm. Sip and congratulations. Happily joining your cult! Not a cult!
First Lady is 100% calling out Meghan Markle's fashion choices! Clever word choices by the First Lady as it is not directly linking her but to mention M's name so closely after talking about 'nakedness' automatically brings to mind the backless item M thought it ok to wear to a school where she tells the young impressionable girls 'I see myself in you and you in me'. I think that is a direct link to the point the First Lady was making about needing to protect their young girls from what she sees as a negative influence.
I had to giggle at that comment about laying down until the feeling passes to get fit. A few years ago, I told my bestie that I want to lose weight so when we go back to DisneyWorld and Universal Studios, the rides are more comfortable. I told her,” I want to lose 80 pounds, enough already!” A few weeks later she calls, “ how are you doing on the diet?” I told her “great! I have 110 pounds to go!” She lost her mind laughing! Oh well, friends throughout the different silhouettes of life! I’m mid height and on the rounder side, my husband is tall and thin. I always tell him we are the perfect 10 as a couple. When he asked me what I meant, I told him when we stand beside each other, we look like the number 10!!! He cracked up!!!
Embarrassing! Knicker elastic was not very reliable a few decades back. I was young and had been chatting to a handsome stranger at a bus stop in the UK. When the double decker bus came I headed up the stairs to the top, the young man following...when it happened, and suddenly the panties were around my ankles! I stepped out of them, grabbed them, and raced to a crowded part of the bus where he couldn't sit near me. I was so mortified I just wanted to die! I sat there miserable when a male whisper came from behind me. "I've never had a wish fulfilled so quickly! But I've got to work on how it's meant to end." If I'd been older I might have been able to laugh. I could now but it would never happen!
How about a fine pair of undies or a sock that gets stuck in pant legs or shirt sleeves due to static electricity & the either fall out or you fish them out🫢🫣
I was gifted afternoon tea at the Dorchester in London. I took my friend, over from Sydney. We also had a glass of champagne well it would be rude not to! They give you a tea list (like a wine list) I had a smoked Scottish tea. Delicious. My aussie friend had a black tea with a flower bud which bloomed while you watched it! We had to have boxes to take away our cakes as we couldn't finish them. Then we went to the Shard for a 360° view of London. Strangely they had a cocktail bar so we had to have another glass of champagne. Best day out in London ever. Browns Hotel - Agatha Christie?
I think the First Lady was worried about young Nigerian women thinking MM was a positive person. She quickly shut that down. I think your friend was trying to see a kindness that wasn’t there. It was a very clear rebuke.
My embarrassing moment. When I was about twenty, I had a boyfriend called Graham, who I was MAD about. One night he took me home after a date and I asked him in to my parents home for a coffee. We sat down in the sitting room and I looked up at the mantel shelf and to my horror my dad's full dentures sat there in full view. Graham said "sorry I didn't see your dad tonight, but at least I saw his teeth!" Can you imagine how mortified I was at that age!
It reminds me of years back in jItaly at the railway station and my man was struggling to get me up a very long steep set of stairs to the platform. When 4 count them 4 georgeous young Italian guys said do you néed a hand my man said no but I almost shouted yes and I gazed with rapture as they lifted my chair onto the platform I had a smile for the rest of the day😂
So love the gossip before bed! It is 4:30am here, I listen on my ear buds but I have to go outside because I laugh so much I was waking everyone else in the the house up😂! Thanks for starting the day right for me!
In reference to the story about Balls the bat, I had a pet blue & gold macaw in my childhood. He was subsequently (unbeknown to me) sold to a tv station and became the morning show mascot. When I saw him on the show, I instantly knew he was my George. I would have recognised him easily even if I saw him in a pet shop with a bunch of other macaws😊
I worked in a preschool for.over 21 years and had some amusing times.. when I went into work one day I was told one of the 4 year olds had been brought in by q grandparent because her mum was in hospital...during the session I said "oh dear mummy is in hospital" and the little girl replied....." "yes she is having her boobs done"...😊 We obviously never said anything to her mum
Arthur Edwards is a national treasure Love this true gentleman and a very very good photographer. Your lucky to interview him cos i dont think he does many
My daughter and I had dinner at the London Ritz, in 2018, for her birthday. In 2022 we celebrated her birthday at Bellagio, Lake Como; Italy and this year we’re going to celebrate her birthday at some swanky place in Tokyo.

I didnt realise we were a cult - should I buy a hood or a cloak or something with a SIP logo on it? 😂😂😂😂😂I know we can all knit ourselves a hat with the work SIP on it. What colour should we have. Hats to be in the colour of the drink you prefer? 😂😂😂
Hi Shauna, I was a professional Melbourne singer who made my home In South Australia in 1969 after touring Australia with the Black & white Minstrel Show, where I continued entertaining (floor shows, TV, night clubs/hotels etc. ) until age 70. Your tale of morning after suffering, was mine as well😂; having also been the life of the party after a gig the previous night, AND with a lunch time show to get through. I relived every agonising moment listening to you. Just trying to glue on my false eyelashes was the least of my woes. 🤢🤮. But always remember, ‘Sparkle Darlings,’ no matter the occasion, and ‘Show up and Shine.’
Here's my spooky story. My sister had recently moved into an apartment complex. She rented out a storage cage in the basement of the apartment complex to store her college supplies. It was a creepy place. One night the entire apartment complex was woke by her neighbor. She had gotten the Manager to investigate the creepy howling coming from that basement. By now, the hallway was filled with residents coming to investigate, all stating that they had been hearing the noises for the past week. As a team, they gathered their combat gear, baseball bats, and ventured to face the demon in the basement. They waited. Suddenly, they heard the sound ooooooo. To my sister's horror, she recognized the sound. She opened her storage unit and pulled out a milk jug in the shape of a cow. When tipped, it mooed. Apparently the batteries were dying and the poor jug was croaking its last desperate moos nightly. Needless to say, she met all her new neighbors and became known as a cow lady. 🐮
As a child I had tea at the Dorchester in London. That was amazing! But as an adult, you don't stay at the Waldorf Astoria any longer if you are a diplomat. We are not, but stayed at the New York Palace Hotel, which is where they all go now, as a foreign entity has purchased the Waldorf. The UN was in session, so they had these sniiffing dogs all over for bombs and such. In the evening, we had a car coming to pick us up, and the driver communicated that he could not get into the lane to pick us up. We were waiting at the curb and a bunch of big gray SUV's were blocking everything up. There was the doorman and the taxman running things, but my husband decided to take matters into his own hands, as men will do. He starting to tell these vehicles to move along, we had to get to our restaurant reservation and then walked out into the street to shoo them along. All of the sudden three men popped out of the cars holding up badges and yelling at him, "U.S. secret Service!!!!" My son and I thought OMG, they are going to arrest him!!! What has he done??? It was Joe Biden, at that time the Vice President, who had arrived to address the UN. My husband was just like, oh, OK and walked back by us, and we were moving down the sidewalk as though we had never seen this man before in our lives. Someone had to be available to bail him out. We have still never let him live it down. Telling the Vice President of the United States of America to move along, we have dinner plans!
I went to the London Palladium with my husband to see The Mousetrap. I dressed in my lovely new dress with a full skirt. During the interval we went to the bar and I went to the loo. We had a nice drink and the returned down the steps to our seat. During our progress, a woman came up close behind me and touched me. I nearly clocked her, but she hissed in my ear, " your dress is tucked into your pants" as she pulled it out! My husband said "I can't take you anywhere". I decided I thought it was funny!
I think Phil does a great job of challenging & sharpening the analysis on Scandal Mongers. We should be able to disagree without insulting. I love that podcast. 😊 I think the First Lady was expressing disapproval of MM without being explicit. I think that’s partly why MSM didn’t push it bc there may have been wriggle room for lawyers.
My daughter bought for me a Thai massage for Mother’s Day. The masseuse spoke very little English. She managed to ask me if I had any injuries & I told her my right shoulder was painful. She nodded & handed me a small package wrapped in plastic & told me to put it on as she left the room. I opened it & had no idea how this string thing would fit on my injured shoulder but managed to get it on somewhat dangling from my shoulder. When she returned she burst into laughter & pointed to my crotch. It was a thong! I’m 75 & had never seen one before. She left the room & I could hear her telling her workmates something in Thai & the hysterical laughter that ensued. I now know what a thong looks like close up & personal but I’ll stick with my large cotton comfortable knickers
Insulting our intelligence only brings us closer. They insulted Jen at 'Real Housewives Recaps' and said her voice sounded like a "drunk goose"??? Jen, along with husband Jay, hilariously formed the "Drunk Goose Club'. Through their online YT community, they just raised $22,000 US for St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The hospital that Danny Thomas founded in 1962, specializes in treating childhood cancers. His famous daughter Marlo Thomas (now 86) continues to work as National Outreach Director. The donation was made In Catherine PoW's name.♥
Shauna, Love all your shows. Ok. Time to tell my story. My daughter (who is still my pride and joy) was about 2 years old. She was very proud to watch what I did, or her brothers, and prove she could do it too. One morning I had just stepped out of the shower when the doorbell rang. I quickly dabbed myself partially dry and quickly grabbed my over-the-head robe. I ran down the hall, found the neck, and raised it over my head as I turned the corner toward the front door. To my horror the door was already open, and there stood the postman. With my arms stretched high, I was running toward him in my perfect nothingness! I quickly dropped my robe down over my humiliated body. We spoke no words as I signed for my package and swiftly closed the door. I turned around, there stood my proud daughter, grinning as she said, “Mommy, I can open the door!” 16:38
I’ve been having a giggle at the kid stories and thought I’d add my own. My oldest daughter was a devastatingly honest child and when she was three she came into the bathroom (as every single one of them did EVERY TIME I tried to shower). She was chatting away to me as I exited the shower. I was toweling myself off as she walked past me, stopped, reached up, patted me gently and commented “your boomers are long and flappy mummy”. My ‘boomers’ were not nearly as long and flappy at 33 as they are now and it took me a very long time to stop checking myself in the mirror.
Hi Shauna When you were telling the story about the registered nurse and the spooky light it bought back memories .when I was doing my nursing training my partner and I working on the men's ward had to do rounds of the patients every 15 minutes. We took it turn about to do the checks. My partner junior to me left to go through the ward all of sudden an almighty scream came from the nurse. Thinking she was in trouble I ran through the ward to see her standing by an old man's bed in shock. The patient had taken his false eye out and left it on the locker
the First Lady of Nigeria was definitely calling out Meghan Markle, 'why is she coming here' and a direct reference to 'nakedness' and 'hollywood stars' was to tell people 'we don't approve, don't listen to the western media, she's not a role model to us' and as a congresswoman and first lady that statement was meaningful.
But the 1st Lady mentioned her by name. No, she was straight up about her distaste of MM.
Keep calling the Markles out people!
She even said her name.
Agree 💯 percent she was definitely calling Meghan out
Princess Rachel of Nigeria is not a Hollywood star.
As an African lady although not Nigerian, she was definitely calling her out? She does not buy her 43% Nigerian story. Markle failed to impress the Nigerian elites.
How can a person that has one white parent and one half white/half black parent be “43% Nigerian”?
Only in fantasy!
@dominaevillae28 She had to have a bigger percentage than the person she was talking to and as usual went massively overboard.
@@fibanocci314This is the only plausible explanation around, other than her mother cheating on her father.
I agree with you, she also doesn’t impress the poor people,that were kept out of sight . I would have preferred the money that this I fiasco cost the country, to go to those people
Meghan was VERY scantily dressed and that’s exactly what the First Lady was complaining about. So I’m with you Shauna!
The wife dressed that way on purpose! I can’t believe that she didn’t get the hint!
@@karenleavitt7241
A gasp to her is positive.
‘Scantily clad’ is kind, she was bra-less and flashed anyone she waved to!
The first lady of Nigeria was absolutely criticising Meghan.😊
Incredible that it is not more widely reported especially by the mainstream media
Kudos to the First Lady of Nigeria for saying what we were all thinking about Meghan,she sure showed us all that she has more balls than Harry.
MM sure does have balls!
No, not praising the first lady. She's no different than 43% , what hasxshe done to educate the nigerians about fmg,
She has more balls then the main stream media 😅
@@hollyshinners4189 Highly doubt it. She is too affraid to confront her in laws. She uses money to get what she wants.Without that she will be totally rudderless. She lacks the gumption to make a real success of anything
I love Arthur Edwards ❤
Oh the Nigerian lady was absolutely having a go at Meghan! Meghan would never want advice from anyone
Certainly not that kind ‘o advice 😅
Exactly.
The First lady was absolutely fantastic, she has done more worldwide to tick off MM, than anyone has dared to do. She cannot just sweep in and behave likes she wants to do, and this lady put her in her place
Best of all, M and her supporters cannot dismiss the first lady as "racist"!
But… wait.. as much as I agree with you, the fact remains that she DID!! She absolutely swept in and behaved exactly like she wanted to!!!
FINALLY, this woman stepped up and called her out, but only well after Markle was out of the country and back in the states …. As good as that was ….Markle needS called out in REAL TIME and TO HER FACE….. only then will anything change, or at least , there will be some sort of satisfaction, ( for us/me!!) or maybe she’ll face some well deserved consequence!!
@@jomarsh6449 I'm sure the First Lady of Nigeria had to be diplomatic and not publicly embarrass the Minister of Defense who was hosting the couple at the time. I think her statement was impactful and threw a wet blanket over the couple's claim that the visit had been a success. Harry's "43% Nigerian" wife should feel ashamed by her immodest wardrobe choices, but I don't think she actually cares. I had to laugh when she was presented with more modest Nigerian clothing, like that beautiful blue skirt and colorful scarves and wraps, so she could cover up - LOL!
Yes, if your going to a country to claim it as your 'motherland' and your heritage, then you at least research it beforehand so you adapt to your new culture!!!
@@argosz8046 excellent point
When the 1st Lady of Nigeria said at the end of her speech “ why is M looking for Africa?” My take was why is she making a big deal about finding her roots, but is still dressing half naked like they do in Hollywood. She refused their food, their clothes and disrespected their culture!!!
She did not say, “why is Meghan looking for Africa.” She said, why did Meghan come to Nigeria looking for Africa.” I believe she made that comment to let Meghan know that she does not believe that Meghan is 43% Nigerian. I believe it’s another made up story by Meghan.
They took their own personal chef with them on the trip
I think what the First Lady of Nigeria meant by, "why is M looking for Africa?"...is...M is what, 42 ish, had to have noticed, from a very young age, that she, along with her own mother, as well as Grandparents, her Aunt's, Uncle's were black...that her ancestors would have originated from Africa...that she should have had a very substantial connection to that part of her ethnicity, ie: the culture, music, beliefs etc and should have embraced it all throughout her life...(m is definitely not naive). Instead M shows up, disrespectful of traditions, rictus grin, with her cameras, half naked, trying to lecture people about things she knows nothing about to people she clearly doesn't give a s**t about and instead it's all about her, being the centre of attention, her wealth, her exploitation of people who she shares dna with.
She shouldn't have had to "look" for Africa as it should have been inate, inherent.
I think the First Lady of Nigeria, was expressing caution around deceivers, who come into their country, who display a flagrant disrespect of their cultural traditions and norms, in combination of classlessness, superficiality, and arrogance are not to be considered "role models" by anyone.
My thoughts and opinions.
Meghan dressed in Nigeria for her USA Kardashian-loving cultlings. That she used Nigerian children in this PR grift is infuriating.
Just like she used the Rwandan children while building up her humanitarian credentials.
@@1234cheerful And she posed for her personal photographers in front of the memorial for the murdered Uvalde children.
@@pamelacox540 And wanted to GO INSIDE the school at Uvalde, still a crime scene at that point.
Why? She habitually uses children for her PR grifting, going back years. It's insufferably crass, but not unexpected.
@rileyperkins2724 yes, she is consistent in her methods.
As a daughter of a diplomat, it was drummed into my head to always respect a country’s culture. Meghan definitely disregarded doing the correct and respectful thing. As an American, it was an embarrassment. Meghan is a 40+ year old, educated at a top university, and a former “Royal” and definitely must know better. In any case, she (and Harry) thumbed her nose on Nigerian conservative values, a huge disgrace. What I found so interesting was the number of people and media who kept remarking how beautiful and stylish she was and completely missed the point that she dressed inappropriately. And who can believe the 43% Nigerian bit? Look at Georgina Lawton’s picture and she looks like she could be 43% Nigerian. But Meghan? Who is she trying to fool?
With all the plastic surgery, who can tell?
💯
It is just more BS from Markle ... Harry just trots along and picks up the leftovers.
It's hard to believe given her father is caucasian and her mother's ancestry is Ghanian.
The first lady criticized MM and western democracies.
FGM is still done in Nigeria, girls are sold into marriage and women don‘t have the freedom and rights we do.
MM did nothing for the issues of the women, she did the opposite.
Which is sad in so many ways.
I agree, Mehgan didn't help anyone and has even probably set back the cause of young women hoping for more flexibility with clothing. Their parents will probably be even stricter for fear their daughters will end up like Mehg! Eek!!
She had no intentions of helping women her sole purpose was to promote herself she was so rude inappropriately dressed I’m not surprised that the First Lady of Nigeria 🇳🇬 told her about herself and good for her she must be the first person to tell her what she really is
@@Anna_Key exactly. It might be a set back for those girls. Really infuriating. 😡
If it's Nigeria's custom, then it's up to Nigeria to change it.
Anna key you are definitely right Ragland has done more harm to the Nigerian girls. The first lady said to salvage our girls and probably the men will clamp down even more.. WELL done RAGLAND
The First Lady was trying to instill in the younger generation the moral importance of modesty. Meghan WAS being thrown some shade, , but she is also the “in the news” celebrity and was being used as an example of moral corruption, which is NOT beautiful.
Love you, Shauna!❤
Solid opinion ~ spot on!
Yep, totally agree here too, that was my interpretation of the First Lady Tinitubu's comments. It seemed clear to me, especially with the inclusion of M's name and M' s assertion of genetic heritage being referenced. No room for ambiguity (unusually.)
💯 she eloquently imparted several messages to the women present to be role models for Nigerian women and girls, to believe in themselves and their natural beauty, that nakedness in public was unbecoming and vulgar, importance of maintaining cultural values, and who in her display of too much bare skin spoke to youth claimed to be one of them with the unacceptable "I see me in you" story, trying to win them over. That was a smackdown to MM that she was rudderless, self-absorbed, shallow and was not accepted as a daughter of Nigeria.
@@marierex8490 excellent comment.
Exactly 💯 She told the young girls, You are Beautiful! Nakedness is not beautiful, not at all! Don’t forget who you are! ❤
I don’t think it was your friends view. Mainly because the Prime Minister and First Lady allegedly had not agreed with the two visiting and kept well away from the celebrations. My impression was the First Lady was extremely disappointed that Megan had flaunted herself in a very conservative country. Let’s face it the clothes were not suitable for any country. I have a theory that she dresses badly because it gets talked about more than nicer clothes.
I didn’t feel the First Lady was inviting her back or to look after her
The biggest problem with the Nigerian situation is so many people don’t believe the 43% and once again she has no proof. Who would claim her as their own with no proof.
Why didn't she mention the 43% Nigerian heritage when she was claiming the 24% Maltese heritage? What is the remaining 33%?
Maybe she is waiting to decide what country she wants to scam next.
Maybe she's saving it for Ghana!!!
But she’s their princess… 😂😂😂
She stole that 43% Nigerian from a mixed race author she definitely wants to be a queen of nowhere just like the prince of nowhere
I have had tea at the Ritz with a friend it was fabulous xxx😊
The First Lady of Nigeria was spot on with her comments and presents her concerns very diplomatically and genuinely
I’m surprised mainstream media isn’t mocking them for what the First Lady said. Thanks for your reflection on this. I don’t think they are being politically used. They didn’t get an invite from Jamaica. They went with the Paramount CEO. My take on what the First Lady said, firstly, she spoke about nakedness, actresses, and the Met Gala (we saw how many of the women dressed) and then she said know where you come from, be proud of who you are and then said why did Meghan come here. In around about way, she was saying Meghan came here to learn about her culture but instead brought her nakedness. She was telling the girls don’t be lured by Hollywood and be proud of who you are and where you come from. That’s my take. It was a scolding!
Absolutely agree with you
MSM doesn't always report much on the individual African countries. More concentrated on Europe and Middle East, South America.
The daughter of the Nigerian First lady, is also part of the Hollywood crowd, the caution was also directed at her daughter.
Excellent read of her message!
Excellent take!
When I was a lot younger and living on the lower north shore. I used to catch the Cremorne Ferry to work and was told by mother to always carry a spare pair of knicker in your purse. You just never know. Well, one morning I was on the ferry an was rummaging in bag for something in the bottom of the bag. When I went pull out the item, out flew the knickers into the lap of the gentleman next to me. 🤦♀He handed them back to me & said I’m glad you’re prepared. I died of embarrassment.
Omg!!! Hilarious
😆😆😂
Probably made his day 😂
I think the first Lady of Nigeria was definitely having a go at MM
Dale, I totally agree with you. 🇨🇦👍
Re Waldorf Astoria. My father was a newspaper editor in the 1950's & often went to events there with my mother & my grandparents, who were visiting from England. All was going well ie fine food & drink, interesting company etc when Granddad, having happily eaten his way through the menu, leaned back in the chair to listen to the speeches, awards etc. He had false teeth which fitted badly but post war, folk didn't have much money to upgrade. So, to relieve the discomfort, he took out the bottom set, discreetly into his pocket handkerchief, and into his trouser pockets. Then he sneezed. Without thinking, he hastily whipped his handkerchief out of his pocket to politely hide the event, forgetting his bottom set of teeth were wrapped in it. The teeth flew across the table, over someone's shoulder and slid under a table the far side of his table. Amazingly, no one but he had noticed. He then started crawling under the table to retrieve them, unnoticed except by my family by this point. Mom & Gran were mortified but dad was in fits. Dad paid for better fitting teeth after that!
😆😂😆

That is HILARIOUS!!! 😂😂😂
My take on the First Lady's speech: blatant go at MM, no question, and Hollywood superficiality. I took the "Why is Meghan coming looking for Africa" question as something like this: black film stars from the USA don't know where they are coming from, MM came to Africa to find her roots, because she has no roots, compared to Nigerian women and girls who know exactly who they are and where they are coming from. She says: "We know who we are and don't lose who you are." She discourages Nigerian and African women from seeking role models in the USA. MM was proudly declaring herself a role model for African girls and the First Lady took her down swiftly.
Agree 100%.
Agree with your take 100%
Well said .
Perfectly summarised.
@michelle3952 I agree, it was a massive takedown. I'm sure Harry's "43% Nigerian" wife will simply dust herself off and move on to another country to exploit - perhaps Ghana? Sadly, she needs to get enough video content for her next Netflix offering.
Hi Shauna. To be honest, I took the words of the First Lady .... "We are confident, beautiful girls, we don't need to take our clothes off", (or words to that effect). ""They don't know who they are. What did Meghan come to Africa to find"? .... I'm roughly paraphrasing, but I took her to mean that Nigerian women know who they are, beautiful, without taking their clothes off. They don't need to emulate people (Meghan) searching for an identity.
The first lady even said , " what is neghan in Africa for ', something like that. I also believe it was meaning first lady didn't believe mm was 43% Nigerian
Yes that was my take…
I agree 100%
Yup...
And that wouldn’t make Doria even more Nigerian?
The only problem in this case, Doria is link to Ghana and The Ivory Coast, not enough percentage to make this realistic.
Absolutely!🇨🇦
The First Lady of Nigeria DEFINITELY took a huge swipe at Meghan, the disastrous Hollywood culture which has swept over the world with all of it’s perversions of fame and womanhood and made an appeal for decency, modesty, self-awareness and self-respect! This wonderful woman of Nigeria has more sense and decency than most people of the „West“! She called out „the Empress in new clothes“ for what she represented and presented!!!! I truly bow 🙇🏻♀️ my head to this intelligent and true Lady!
Hello Shauna and one and all 🙋♀️🇬🇧🌹 Arthur Edwards is such a lovely chap, lucky you Shauna and will look forward to seeing it.
Hello to you! Always a pleasure when you are in the comments.
Listening to him on a few interviews has been one of the bright lights of the years with the despicable duo in the limelight. Chances are he wouldn't have been on my radar here in the USA and that would have been my loss. I wish we could see and hear more about him and the working members of the BRF.
Mr. Edwards comes across as an ideal podcast/conference/dinner guest. We have a treat coming our way.
@@juliesuris8906 I think if you remember back to some of the more memorable photographs of the royal family, you may find that Arthur Edwards just may have snapped them. I will always remember when Prince William fondly waved to Arthur Edwards and mentioned him by name to Princess Catherine as they presented their newborn son, George, to the waiting pack of royal photographers. That simple act was so touching, and it demonstrates how beloved Mr. Edwards is to a young man who has contempt for many of the other photographers he saw hounding his poor mum.
@@lisalivingston6473 Thank you for sharing that anecdote! Prince William seems to be a genuinely good person who recognizes the qualities and achievements of others.
Oh Shauna😂I had such a good laugh tonight! It was like a breath of fresh air or maybe a holiday! I love your sense of humour. My little 2 year old grandson was sitting on my lap at a restaurant while we were celebrating a family birthday, when he made such a loud, long noise from his nappy region. All air and no substance, but everyone at the table heard it and I jumped in surprise! When I said laughing, ‘what on earth was that - It made my leg vibrate!’ He looked around proudly and said loudly ‘I FARTED!’ I was convulsed in laughter and the more I laughed , the more he laughed and a few more explosions followed. From him of course! Soon everyone at the table was laughing too! I’m 62 and my sense of humour has remained the same as a 2 year old’s 🤣
You sound like a fun Grandma 😂😅💕
In my opinion, the way MM was dressed during the Nigerian trip (bare back, showing cleavage and legs etc), I think the First Lady associated MM with nakedness. Her speech was not only aimed at MM, but also, those who attended and organised Met Gala (the real American film stars).
I have to admit, I gasped out loud when I first watched the First Lady speech - it was clear that the First Lady did not tollerate her behaviour, and taken the line 'why did MM come looking for Africa?', alluding to the fact MM had an ulterior motive for traveling to Nigeria.
Plagiarism is one of Rachel’s favourite as she can’t think for herself and copies everything 😮

Dear Shauna, many, many years ago when the children were youngsters ( around 8-9) my daughter had a friend whose mum was a nurse, Leonora was on night shift and had a lovely old lady as a patient. She went in to check one night and she was sitting up in bed combing her hair. The lady asked if she would help put a bow in her hair as her late hubby had always loved her with a bow in her hair. Leonora asked why and the lady said sweetly that the angels were coming for her at 11.00 p.m. around the time she thought she’d go check on her in case she was disappointed. She was in bed with the loveliest smile on her face and she was gone. Leonora came straight to my place after shift for a talk and a coffee. It rattled her a bit but what a lovely - true - story. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
🥹🎀💝
I think the first lady was speaking to the youth in her country and telling them do not behave like Megs.
She was definitely criticizing Meghan for her inappropriate choice of dresses during her Nigerian visit. There's no question about that.
I have a great embarrassing story. My father had recently died, and I was in the lawyer’s office where the Will was being read. As the lawyer was explaining the trust my father had set up, I reached into my bag with the intention of getting a Kleenex and ended up pulling out a tampon that had come out of its paper wrapper. The two strings attached themselves to my comb. Needless to say, everyone in the room was shocked (their jaws were firmly stuck to the floor), and I died a thousand deaths of embarrassment! Now 40 years later, whenever I remember that scene, I get a bad case of the giggles! 😂❤
😅😅😅❤
Same thing happened to me but I was standing in line at the university registrar’s office surrounded by good looking young men.
@@RuthellenHerzberg 🤭 Oh How embarrassing, did you just hold your head up and look unconcerned?
Meghan had spoken about being a role model for Nigerian girls. So I think the first lady was trying to "undo the damage" to the girls who were already emulating western movie stars in increasingly revealing clothing.
My opinion of the First Lady of Nigeria's comments was that she felt terribly disrespected for the women of her country by Meghan's dress during her visit. I totally agree with her sentiments, young impressionable girls are being toooo influenced by what they see in the movies, music videos and women of influence who show way too much skin. Meghan should really have known better when she went to Nigeria, she should have respected the culture of the country as anyone should.
She hasn’t got a clue. The dress she wore to that school would have been totally inappropriate at my school in Australia or any other school anywhere.
She knows better but doesn’t care, which is why so many of us are appalled.
Hi Shauna! When I was 18, I worked in an office for a millionaire in Houston TX. For his 60th birthday, his wife invited all the employees (+1) at a very posh restaurant on the top floor of a very posh hotel. We all sat around one very large table with the boss at the head of the table. A waiter was going around and asking each guest if they would like a cocktail. When he came to me and asked me the question, I replied “What kind do you have?”
He told me they had every type cocktail I could want. So I thought for just a few seconds and replied “I’ll take the shrimp.”
😄😄😄 So funny.
About 20 years ago, my friends and I went on a trip to New York. We arrived early evening and were advised to stay awake. We were told there was an Oyster Bar at Central Station that was popular. When we arrived it was closed. Someone told us a new restaurant had just opened so we climbed the stairs and it was obviously upmarket. We weren't at our best so we decided to turn around when this voice said "can I help you ma'am' I explained that we'd just arrived from London and we just wanted a light meal. He called a waiter over and told us to have what we wanted. As we were sat, we noticed people acknowledging him. When we finished, I went over to thank him. Then i blurted out, "You're tall"! To which he responded ",yes 6 7, what are you 5.10. (Which is tall for a woman) I was impressed he'd guessed my height. We left thinking what a lovely man. We were talking to someone the next morning to be told that Michael Jordan had opened a restaurant the night before at Central Station! No photographic evidence!!
Shauna I so love having a sip with you. What nonsense a cult ; well it’s a cult I so enjoy being part of each Wednesday evening . 🌹🌻🌷
Shauna is so witty and funny, doing a pretend hypnotic order to not obey her! Let's disobey the "do not obey" order and sip away with her and each other. 🍵🥛🍷

I love your videos, Shauna! I have a scary story. As an operator/dispatch at a Phychiatric hospital, I often worked the night shifts. That meant working alone in the administration building on the first floor. Whenever I needed to use the ladies' room, I had to notify the supervising nurse on the third floor ( the only other person in the building). As I walked into the bathroom, the sensor lights went on, and I walked towards the nearest stall. As I walked, I heard the toilet paper roll in the third stall and stopped. I know I was the only one there, so I walked to the third stall and saw the paper roll spinning on its own! I ran out of there! When I got back to the dispatch office, the phone was ringing. The supervising nurse asked if everything was okay? I said, "Yes, why?" She said that she had just gotten a call from my office. However, when she answered, she said the phone was silent, so she hung up and called.
I explained it couldn't have been me and explained why. We both were puzzled. The hospital was established in the late 1920s, so I imagine it has a lot of dark history.
Spooky story for you. My husband and I were staying at an island resort. It was off season, few people staying in the beach units. There was no one staying in either of the units next to us. We were standing outside on the open porch, leaning over the second floor balcony railing watching the ocean. Suddenly, my husband said, “what’s that?” Drifting slowly by us, at eye level was a thick black cloud. It didn’t drift apart like smoke would. There are no cars allowed where we were staying, no trucks so not exhaust. Nobody was grilling. Not a regular cloud in the sky and this thing just slowly meanders by us. My husband said, “ that’s the weirdest thing, I almost felt like it was looking at us, checking us out.” My husband, of 55years is a lawyer, practical, down to earth, often has to have one of my silly jokes explained because he is so logical.
It continued past us never falling apart, never changing shape. We scampered back inside the condo and stared at each other.
Could it have been a swarm of insects? Here in 🇨🇦black flies and “no see ums “ look like black storm clouds in the distance.
Like the person above me my instant thought is a cloud of midges/insects (even small bees.) l have seen swarms behave like that. They may have paused near your balcony because a lot of insects in swarms tend to head for darker/shade areas. Was there an overhang to your balcony? A door open? Something in shade nearby?
That's a good spooky story! Just odd happens and uneasy feelings, those are the ones that I think are real 😮
I just got goosebumps.
It floated, drifted by us at eye level, it was not a swarm of insects, a good call but this resembled more like smoke. But it didn’t change shape at all. I watched thick exhaust or smoke from a fire being put out and it changes shape and it never to my knowledge travels in a horizontal manner at a measured speed.
We honestly don’t know what it was but I can tell you my husband, a very, very down to earth attorney, looked at me and said, once we were inside, “ That was the nastiest thing I have ever felt.”
It wasn’t just creepy or strange, it was nasty, dark, makes my hair stand on end just to talk about it again.
Your funny stories about posh places reminded me of something from a few years ago. My husband and I were so excited to take a short cruise on the Queen Mary. It was something I always wanted to do and we were all dressed in our finery to have dinner in the silver service room. It was a wonderful night but when we got back to the cabin I saw in the mirror I had a hair roller on the top of my fringe. Why didn’t you tell me I asked. Oh I thought you knew he said.
😂💕
I too adore Mr Edwards. Looking forward to Sunday 💃💃 💃
The best! X
Stop the presses! You chatted with Mr. Edwards!! Cannot wait for that - he's such a lovely man. And he reached out to thank you for your review (as we all do) and you were bright enough to seize the day! Brava! Shauna! And thank you in advance for putting a bright spot in the coming weekend.
Now back to today's Gossip!
Thank you what a lovely comment! 😂🤗
She was definitely referring to Megan’s disrespectful clothing choices!
Fireman story
My mother came from Ireland to London as a young women to be trained as a nurse for the war effort. In her very early twenties. Good Irish catholic girl from way into the boonies. And, by her own account, mad about dancing and thinking Epping Forest or wherever was like NYC compared with up the bog in Co. Sligo. One night, deep asleep in bed in the 2nd floor nurses’ dorm, she’s shaken awake - by a fireman, hauled from bed, slung over shoulder and carried down ladder. Ladder was resting on a street load of rubble, no front to building, her blankets were covered in glass. She was sweetly sleeping through an air raid and a very nearly direct hit. Thing is, she could not have been blotto as she could never have had the means for more than a couple of drinks. She remembered that night fondly for the rest of her life. Bless her! And thanks, Shona, I badly needed a laugh tonight!
Your story reminds me of the Are You Being Served? episode where they have to be rescued by firemen and are relishing it tremendously. ❤
😂😂😂😂
Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I love Arthur too, he's such an articulate gentleman.
When my sister was little (about 4) she used to bite her nails - mum tried everything to stop her (it was before you could buy the disgusting paint on stuff) Mum told her one time that if she didn't stop the nail bits would stay in her tummy and it would grow so big it may pop! One day we were all on a bus going into town and my sister spotted a heavily pregnant woman... My sister shouted and pointed "I know what you've been doing" Poor mum was so embarrassed and had to explain to the pregnant woman about the nail-biting horror story.
Ooohh my Goood!!!!😂😂🤣🤣🤣
😆😅
That’s awesome!
After growing up in a cult, this is one I will happily join! You give us the free will to choose our drink of choice, and sipping isn't mandatory (as Beauregard proves since he gets treats).
The Nigerian First Lady absolutely called MM into question, and quite rightly too. I'm just surprised MM hasn't accused her of racism!
The First Lady of Nigeria asked why did Meghan come to her country to find Africa, it seemed to me she did not believe the 43% Nigerian story and was wondering why Meghan thought going there would be good for her image
I think the First Lady of Nigeria was calling out bad behavior, which was disrespecting the culture of Nigeria. megans showing too much skin in her clothing choices was a terrible example of someone ignoring local custom, as we could all see. She was dressed in night wear during the day while visiting a school. And she made everything about herself, it was her stage, she used the Nigerians to pump herself up in my opinion. I admire the beautiful First Lady of Nigeria and she is the real role model for these young students. megan markle has treated her father like dirt beneath her feet.
Love Arthur Edwards
I just attended a conference at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. They had many photos of famous guests such as Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and Princess Diana. The Peacock Ballroom was amazing!. The flower arrangement, hanging from the ceiling, larger than any chandelier, filled the whole lobby with a beautiful fragrance. I was glad I got to experience it.
My funny spooky story. During my nurses training at the old Royal Adelaide Hospital, I was working nightshirt. A patient in her own room, who had Schizophrenia, buzzed the bell, And told me she could hear voices. I thought, oh yes, Schizophrenia, then realised I could hear voices. This room was odd with a corridor behind, so around I go with my torch and suddenly startled by the cleaners, who were cleaning the eye theatres, which was what was behind that room. We both screamed, then laughed. Funny enough, I now work in mental health, 30 years on, and of course what I thought about Schizophrenia was way off the mark anyhow.
Thank you Shauna. I live alone and there isn't much going on that's funny. I can always count on you to put a smile on my face!
You are so welcome 😘
Yes, I live alone & so enjoy your gossips & can sip, laugh out loud along with you. Thank you.
Looking forward to that interview with Arthur Edwards. 🏴
Hi Shauna I’ve laughed, loudly at the embarrassing stories and have, finally plucked up the courage to tell you mine.
Many years ago, when my adult kids were very small I was trying to wet shave my legs, before taking them to school.
It was the normal chaotic morning, missing school books, lost shoes and bickering.
In the rush I cut my shin badly with the razor and it started to bleed profusely. I had no plasters at hand and it was getting late for school so I grabbed a sanitary pad, tuned the adhesive tabs inwards and pressed it against my heavily bleeding leg!
It seemed to stick well so off we ran ( book and shoes found) to school.
After I dropped them off I headed to the chemist to get some plasters.
As I walked past a white van I heard a voice shout from it,
“Hey luv you’ve dropped something!” followed by roars of laughter!
I looked down to see the, now blood soaked pad at my feet!
In my desperate embarrassment I tried to kick it away only for it to attached to my shoe ( as the laughter from the van got even louder) and I had to grab it, shove it in my pocket and quickly go in the chemist!
I bought the plasters, put one on in the shop and then waited until, eventually the van drove off!
My daughter always likes to recall this story and did so at my 40th and 50th!
Oh, dear God! You poor thing! 🤦🏼♀️😂😂😂
😂😂😂
The story about the knickers on the floor incident reminded me of something that happened to me several years ago. I was driving to the store to return some panties that didn’t fit. My young teenage daughter was with me and she was in a bad mood, so I was trying to cheer her up by putting a pair of panties on my head like a hat while we were driving down the highway. She started laughing and we were chatting away, and I completely forgot that I had underwear on my head. 🫣. As we were sitting at a light waiting to turn off the exit, I suddenly realized what I had done when the guy in the next car over looked at me and cracked up laughing! I hurriedly went to yank them off my head when he put up a finger as if to say “Hold on a second!!”, reached into his backseat and quickly placed a pair of underwear on his head and smiled broadly. My daughter and I were DYING with laughter!!! Bad mood definitely cured in that moment!! I’m just hoping she doesn’t get up and tell that particular story at my funeral….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Priceless!! 😂😂
I love Arthur Edwards. He is such a gentleman. What a catch for you Shauna, it’s your Australian charm. Sip and congratulations. Happily joining your cult! Not a cult!
First Lady is 100% calling out Meghan Markle's fashion choices! Clever word choices by the First Lady as it is not directly linking her but to mention M's name so closely after talking about 'nakedness' automatically brings to mind the backless item M thought it ok to wear to a school where she tells the young impressionable girls 'I see myself in you and you in me'. I think that is a direct link to the point the First Lady was making about needing to protect their young girls from what she sees as a negative influence.
I had to giggle at that comment about laying down until the feeling passes to get fit. A few years ago, I told my bestie that I want to lose weight so when we go back to DisneyWorld and Universal Studios, the
rides are more comfortable. I told her,” I want to lose 80 pounds, enough already!”
A few weeks later she calls, “ how are you doing on the diet?” I told her “great! I have 110 pounds to go!” She lost her mind laughing! Oh well, friends throughout the different silhouettes of life! I’m mid height and on the rounder side, my husband is tall and thin. I always tell him we are the perfect 10 as a couple. When he asked me what I meant, I told him when we stand beside each other, we look like the number 10!!! He cracked up!!!
I do think the First Lady was sending the Megs a strong message. I had some great laughs. Have a great nite😴😴😴
that woman is nuts if she got that message. Too many sips Shauna 😅😅😅😅
Checkmate by the First Lady of Nigeria, what a elegant intellectual Lady.
Spot on.
Embarrassing! Knicker elastic was not very reliable a few decades back. I was young and had been chatting to a handsome stranger at a bus stop in the UK. When the double decker bus came I headed up the stairs to the top, the young man following...when it happened, and suddenly the panties were around my ankles! I stepped out of them, grabbed them, and raced to a crowded part of the bus where he couldn't sit near me. I was so mortified I just wanted to die! I sat there miserable when a male whisper came from behind me. "I've never had a wish fulfilled so quickly! But I've got to work on how it's meant to end." If I'd been older I might have been able to laugh. I could now but it would never happen!
How about a fine pair of undies or a sock that gets stuck in pant legs or shirt sleeves due to static electricity & the either fall out or you fish them out🫢🫣
I was gifted afternoon tea at the Dorchester in London. I took my friend, over from Sydney. We also had a glass of champagne well it would be rude not to! They give you a tea list (like a wine list) I had a smoked Scottish tea. Delicious. My aussie friend had a black tea with a flower bud which bloomed while you watched it! We had to have boxes to take away our cakes as we couldn't finish them. Then we went to the Shard for a 360° view of London. Strangely they had a cocktail bar so we had to have another glass of champagne. Best day out in London ever.
Browns Hotel - Agatha Christie?
Yes Agatha Christie! Your day sounds wonderful! 😊💗
I agree with you and the first lady, Your friend is obviously too kind.
I think the First Lady was worried about young Nigerian women thinking MM was a positive person. She quickly shut that down. I think your friend was trying to see a kindness that wasn’t there. It was a very clear rebuke.
My embarrassing moment. When I was about twenty, I had a boyfriend called Graham, who I was MAD about. One night he took me home after a date and I asked him in to my parents home for a coffee. We sat down in the sitting room and I looked up at the mantel shelf and to my horror my dad's full dentures sat there in full view. Graham said "sorry I didn't see your dad tonight, but at least I saw his teeth!" Can you imagine how mortified I was at that age!
No rebellion here, I bow down and worship you. ❤❤❤
It reminds me of years back in jItaly at the railway station and my man was struggling to get me up a very long steep set of stairs to the platform. When 4 count them 4 georgeous young Italian guys said do you néed
a hand my man said no but I almost shouted yes and I gazed with rapture as they lifted my chair onto the platform I had a smile for the rest of the day😂
So love the gossip before bed! It is 4:30am here, I listen on my ear buds but I have to go outside because I laugh so much I was waking everyone else in the the house up😂! Thanks for starting the day right for me!
Love it!! Glad you laughed 😂
In reference to the story about Balls the bat, I had a pet blue & gold macaw in my childhood. He was subsequently (unbeknown to me) sold to a tv station and became the morning show mascot. When I saw him on the show, I instantly knew he was my George. I would have recognised him easily even if I saw him in a pet shop with a bunch of other macaws😊
The beautiful First lady of Nigeria was definitely giving shade to that ones wife. No question about it...
This is my favorite cult ever! Sip sip sip sip sip sip sip......😂😂😂
For the love. If you make it to 80 without having had a Pap smear, I think you’re entitled to go without. That is a very funny story, though 😂
The texts you read are very funny but your contagious laughter makes them hysterical!!!!
I worked in a preschool for.over 21 years and had some amusing times.. when I went into work one day I was told one of the 4 year olds had been brought in by q grandparent because her mum was in hospital...during the session I said "oh dear mummy is in hospital" and the little girl replied....." "yes she is having her boobs done"...😊
We obviously never said anything to her mum
Arthur Edwards is a national treasure Love this true gentleman and a very very good photographer. Your lucky to interview him cos i dont think he does many
Very lucky!
He is the end of an era. We are lucky he is still with us. Such words of wisdom. Looking forward to the interview!
All hail O Great Cult Leader 😂 Sip
Oh pooh! Cultish??? It's morning in my part of the world and I'm sipping my coffee!
My daughter and I had dinner at the London Ritz, in 2018, for her birthday. In 2022 we celebrated her birthday at Bellagio, Lake Como; Italy and this year we’re going to celebrate her birthday at some swanky place in Tokyo. (PS She lives in London, and I live in Adelaide, so it’s our special mother/daughter treat). 🇦🇺🇬🇧
How lovely. Enjoy your outing with your daughter. What a wonderful way to bond.
I didnt realise we were a cult - should I buy a hood or a cloak or something with a SIP logo on it? 😂😂😂😂😂I know we can all knit ourselves a hat with the work SIP on it. What colour should we have. Hats to be in the colour of the drink you prefer? 😂😂😂
😆
Sip! 😆😅🤣😂
Shauna's would be beige. 😂 isn't white tea her drink of choice? ❤
@@audreywright66 She has been known to have a cappuccino sachet. Maybe she could have one with a cream top and a brown brim!
Definitely go with a cloak and hood combo, just avoid the pointy hoods. Pretty sure they’re still looked down upon. 😉
There is a childrens book called ‘I see you in me”. I really believe she was merching the book.
First lady was having a go😅
Hi Shauna, I was a professional Melbourne singer who made my home In South Australia in 1969 after touring Australia with the Black & white Minstrel Show, where I continued entertaining (floor shows, TV, night clubs/hotels etc. ) until age 70. Your tale of morning after suffering, was mine as well😂; having also been the life of the party after a gig the previous night, AND with a lunch time show to get through. I relived every agonising moment listening to you. Just trying to glue on my false eyelashes was the least of my woes. 🤢🤮. But always remember, ‘Sparkle Darlings,’ no matter the occasion, and ‘Show up and Shine.’
😂💗
You are 💯% right about the Nigerian First Lady's criticism of Meghan.
I so admire Arthur Edwards ❤ Can't wait for your chat with him 🥰
Me, too❤️❤️❤️
Here's my spooky story. My sister had recently moved into an apartment complex. She rented out a storage cage in the basement of the apartment complex to store her college supplies. It was a creepy place. One night the entire apartment complex was woke by her neighbor. She had gotten the Manager to investigate the creepy howling coming from that basement. By now, the hallway was filled with residents coming to investigate, all stating that they had been hearing the noises for the past week. As a team, they gathered their combat gear, baseball bats, and ventured to face the demon in the basement. They waited. Suddenly, they heard the sound ooooooo. To my sister's horror, she recognized the sound. She opened her storage unit and pulled out a milk jug in the shape of a cow. When tipped, it mooed. Apparently the batteries were dying and the poor jug was croaking its last desperate moos nightly. Needless to say, she met all her new neighbors and became known as a cow lady. 🐮
As a child I had tea at the Dorchester in London. That was amazing! But as an adult, you don't stay at the Waldorf Astoria any longer if you are a diplomat. We are not, but stayed at the New York Palace Hotel, which is where they all go now, as a foreign entity has purchased the Waldorf. The UN was in session, so they had these sniiffing dogs all over for bombs and such. In the evening, we had a car coming to pick us up, and the driver communicated that he could not get into the lane to pick us up. We were waiting at the curb and a bunch of big gray SUV's were blocking everything up. There was the doorman and the taxman running things, but my husband decided to take matters into his own hands, as men will do. He starting to tell these vehicles to move along, we had to get to our restaurant reservation and then walked out into the street to shoo them along. All of the sudden three men popped out of the cars holding up badges and yelling at him, "U.S. secret Service!!!!" My son and I thought OMG, they are going to arrest him!!! What has he done??? It was Joe Biden, at that time the Vice President, who had arrived to address the UN. My husband was just like, oh, OK and walked back by us, and we were moving down the sidewalk as though we had never seen this man before in our lives. Someone had to be available to bail him out. We have still never let him live it down. Telling the Vice President of the United States of America to move along, we have dinner plans!
I went to the London Palladium with my husband to see The Mousetrap. I dressed in my lovely new dress with a full skirt.
During the interval we went to the bar and I went to the loo. We had a nice drink and the returned down the steps to our seat. During our progress, a woman came up close behind me and touched me. I nearly clocked her, but she hissed in my ear, " your dress is tucked into your pants" as she pulled it out! My husband said "I can't take you anywhere". I decided I thought it was funny!
I think Phil does a great job of challenging & sharpening the analysis on Scandal Mongers. We should be able to disagree without insulting. I love that podcast. 😊
I think the First Lady was expressing disapproval of MM without being explicit. I think that’s partly why MSM didn’t push it bc there may have been wriggle room for lawyers.
Yes and Yes! 🙌
All bow to our supreme leader Shauna 😂🎉
My daughter bought for me a Thai massage for Mother’s Day. The masseuse spoke very little English. She managed to ask me if I had any injuries & I told her my right shoulder was painful. She nodded & handed me a small package wrapped in plastic & told me to put it on as she left the room. I opened it & had no idea how this string thing would fit on my injured shoulder but managed to get it on somewhat dangling from my shoulder. When she returned she burst into laughter & pointed to my crotch. It was a thong! I’m 75 & had never seen one before. She left the room & I could hear her telling her workmates something in Thai & the hysterical laughter that ensued. I now know what a thong looks like close up & personal but I’ll stick with my large cotton comfortable knickers
I’m a proud member of the Shauna cult! ❤❤❤
Insulting our intelligence only brings us closer. They insulted Jen at 'Real Housewives Recaps' and said her voice sounded like a "drunk goose"??? Jen, along with husband Jay, hilariously formed the "Drunk Goose Club'. Through their online YT community, they just raised $22,000 US for St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The hospital that Danny Thomas founded in 1962, specializes in treating childhood cancers. His famous daughter Marlo Thomas (now 86) continues to work as National Outreach Director. The donation was made In Catherine PoW's name.♥
Arthur Edwards is such a gentleman, I love his book. So excited to see your interview with him ❤️
Shauna, Love all your shows. Ok. Time to tell my story. My daughter (who is still my pride and joy) was about 2 years old. She was very proud to watch what I did, or her brothers, and prove she could do it too. One morning I had just stepped out of the shower when the doorbell rang. I quickly dabbed myself partially dry and quickly grabbed my over-the-head robe. I ran down the hall, found the neck, and raised it over my head as I turned the corner toward the front door. To my horror the door was already open, and there stood the postman. With my arms stretched high, I was running toward him in my perfect nothingness! I quickly dropped my robe down over my humiliated body. We spoke no words as I signed for my package and swiftly closed the door. I turned around, there stood my proud daughter, grinning as she said, “Mommy, I can open the door!” 16:38
You win! Lol!
Love being a member of your 'Sip' cult such a nice thing to do before bed.❤
I’ve been having a giggle at the kid stories and thought I’d add my own. My oldest daughter was a devastatingly honest child and when she was three she came into the bathroom (as every single one of them did EVERY TIME I tried to shower). She was chatting away to me as I exited the shower. I was toweling myself off as she walked past me, stopped, reached up, patted me gently and commented “your boomers are long and flappy mummy”. My ‘boomers’ were not nearly as long and flappy at 33 as they are now and it took me a very long time to stop checking myself in the mirror.
😅😂😅❤
Hi Shauna
When you were telling the story about the registered nurse and the spooky light it bought back memories .when I was doing my nursing training my partner and I working on the men's ward had to do rounds of the patients every 15 minutes. We took it turn about to do the checks. My partner junior to me left to go through the ward all of sudden an almighty scream came from the nurse. Thinking she was in trouble I ran through the ward to see her standing by an old man's bed in shock. The patient had taken his false eye out and left it on the locker
😂😂😂 definitely the doctor and granny is the funniest joke, couldn’t stop laughing !!
SIP to Arthur enjoying my Baileys latté. I don’t mind being in your cult Shauna lol 🩷
Sounds good
