Sophie

[Crazyhorse]

Did anyone see the wedding coverage of Charles and Camilla on the BBC yesterday?

If so, was it just me that got the impression that Sophie Raworth was bursting for a piss towards the end of the program.

If any of the production team read this board, can you confirm or deny this, just to put my mind at rest?

Unfortunately, I am not a member of the production team, but yes, I did notice this. In fact, it was probably the most exciting part of the coverage for me.

Hiya,

Yes I watched it as well and I definitely thought so. She had her legs crossed in the 'squeeze hard, hang on and hope for the best 'style. Leg crossing doesn't really work for me, so I just squeeze hard which isn't for very long!

I think you would have to be 'one of us' to notice but it was definitely obvious. She needed a wee!! :oops:

I thought the funniest thing was seeing all the Royal Family all going off in a bus! Other than that it was sweet! I'm glad they have found happiness.

Holly x :)

Royal bus! Well there's a novelty. I'm glad for them too. Now let's hope the bloody press keep their long noses out and stop running her down because she's not a pretty little teenager.

Holly,

Why don't you write in to Points of View and ask for that bit again, expressing great sympathy for Sophie. Maybe the production team will ask her for us!!! :shock: :D

[DespWetFan]

awww....I missed the coverage! Such a pity...I have a bit of a thing for female newsreaders (anyone else share this?), and seeing Sophie Rayworth bursting for a wee would have been a real treat!! :roll:

She has recently had a baby...wonder if she's suffering the after-effects of that...?

Oh good, so it might not have just been my imagination then?
I have often wondered what presenters do on long outside broadcasts. Surely there must be some rule that says that tv presenters must be given a break every so many hours?

I wonder how many get to visit the toilet without switching off their micrphone? :roll: 8)

Personally I didn't see any of the coverage, having to be elsewhere at the time and, although I'm a royalist I haven't got too much time for this Charles & Camilla business, so I don't think I missed a deal. I don't wish either of them any ill will as such but there are aspects of this union which have been badly planned and thought out from the outset. However with 800 guests I wouldn't mind betting that there were a few full bladders there! :lol:

[Val]

You can bet there was no shortage of jolly old shampers swilled in order to fill them! Radio announcer today made some reference to them as 'Charles and Diana' :oops: But University College studio does a more professional job than RTÉ

[Sunway]

Damn! I missed that.

The annoying thing is that I actually had the programme on, but during the break between the two ceremonies, I switched my pc on, and therefore when the "Sophie" scenes were on, I was just listening to their commentary, while browsing these boards and not watching the pictures.

[SWEETPEE]

Yea gang, I missed the whole thing... not into much of the adventures of Charles and his, ahem.... Duchess of Cornhole
she was reported to be sick before the wedding getting ready and was not going to go thru with it.. Id say from what I know being nervous like that causes you to have to pee every 15 minutes with a bagfull or even in some cases she might of had the poopies or shits.

She might have been wearing a diaper and one doesnt know if she did something in it.

Oh well, I guess the press will have a great time with the two of them.

Just like here at home, they like to pick on someone for a year or 3

sweetpee, you're as funny as you are intelligent

[Crazyhorse]

Moving swiftly on...before a certain kind of ascerbic wit brings forth mucho flame..o.

I know this is probably more than any sane person can bear but some of the presenters on shopping channels have to work long stints with no breaks. Find out when each presenter finishes their session and watch the last 30 minutes if you can stand it. I did see one where two people were demonstrating items and just before the end the woman said 'that's it from us, and now my co-presenter can enjoy a well earned visit to the toilet'. Ufortunately for me, the co-presenter was a man.

But it made me wonder how often this happens. 8)

Crazyhorse, you have entirely too much time on your hands...;)

Are you trying to say he doesn't get out enough, Boris? :)

I knew that post would open me up to these saddo inferences, but I posted it anyway.

My excuse is that I work mostly nights and after getting up mid-afternoon I just like to put the most brain-rotting drivel on tv, as my brain needs background noise. Unfortunately Terry Wogan/Dale Winton dont seem to host shows at that time, so shopping channels are the next worst thing.

[bspider]

I understand entirely, my own preference is for something like 'TMF' or 'The Hits' (music channels) for the same reason - I need a background and Radio these days is simply too awful to listen to. It's just that deliberately switching on adverts seems perverse.

LOL - I just read that back and remembered where I was posting.... :D:D

Boris.

[Crazyhorse]

I wouldn't dream of buying anything, it is just the background talking that I like and something that I dont even have to watch if they dont look interesting. Music would be too much after just getting up.

But there is a strange fascination for these poor buggers having to stand there for 2-3 hours spouting almost constant nonsense about items they wouldn't be seen dead with in their house. And all for about £5 per hour.

The other thing that intrigues me is whether they see this as a step into tv presentation :? or just a sales job which they are doing to pay the mortgage.

(edit) After posting this I realised that the subject would make a good one for a whp video clip. Desperate saleswoman trying to sell goods on a shopping channel, especially if the items were water orientated, like a tap water filter 8)

[Indigo]

can someone tell me what a shopping channel is, please?

[Holly]

A Shopping Channel is a channel on Sky.........not the Mouse variety, I hasten to add but the one owned by somebody called Rupert! He will be interested because it would now seem from Crazyhorse's post that he now has a viewer! :lol:

[Indigo]

Sky as in satellite television, right? Okay, I get that bit. But what do you do with it? I mean, I can sort of understand people wanting sports channels (where you watch people playing sports) and news channels (where you watch people telling you the news). But a channel where you watch people shopping? Surely not!

[~*~ k a t e ~*~]

Indigo, the shopping channel works by the grinning hosts showing you things they have for sale and talking them up, while people ring in and place bids on the item from their sofas. It's usually immeasurable tat.
