i'm getting a right royal semi
Kate who?
Time for another Australian dj to call the hospital.
St Mary's in Paddington was busy busy busy this morning. Mostly foreign correspondents doing their make-up.

Its difficult to imagine a comment in poorer taste.
Bloody spongers! Popping out kids and expecting the State to keep them...
Its difficult to imagine
you need more practice. I can do it easily.
Today's 'news'.
Have some respect for our betters. After all she did get the gig by winning a "Most naked in a fashion show" contest.
Perhaps Stoner, but I doubt the family of Mrs Saldanha can?
Can't she be forced to give birth in The Omen style?
Is that the test for posting comments now thm?
I think that might be a tricky one to maintain.
You may be right stoner, but that would be a very sad state of affairs IMO.

Try harder.
Is there a live feed for this? Maybe a dilation tracker?
Maybe a dilation tracker?
Try the BBC World Cervix for that.
IGMC etc
Thanks for the PSA why so little coverage in the media
Thankfully not ruined the TdF or the test
In case anyone missed it, she arrived by car. Love the fact the BBC feels it reqs three different people in different locations to report on this plus the people banging on about it in the studio.
I'm not even a royal hater but this is so far over the top it's unreal.
If they give us another royal bank holiday I'll put up with this crap but otherwise they can STFU.
What's the smart money on?
Boy?
Girl?
Lizard?
I'm going for some human/horse hybrid with ginger hair....and either Harry or James Hewitt as the father
Whats the name of those fundamental particles that get transmitted from the royal balls again?
Was it Kingons and Queons? something like that;
Some people say they don't exist, but they _must_ be real.
Otherwise, what exactly makes these people different and gives them the right to rule over us all?
Wonder if the little Lizard Overlord is crowning yet?
meanwhile inside the hospital, the fully gestated Royal is ready to emerge...
I'm getting my news from the Daily Mash, it's far better than other sources at times like this:
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/britons-urged-to-enjoy-last-few-hours-before-explosion-of-baby-bullshit-2013072276456
The TV news people here in the US are in just as much of a dither about it----almost as much as the wedding.
It's a boy, but the Australians are calling for DRS.
Poor taste drlex using the words 'Australian' and 'calling' on this thread-you'll make thm cry again.
It's been rolling on News 24 (or whatever it's called) all day today. Amazing how they can spend all day reporting on absolutely nothing happening. If you ever wondered what the outside of a hospital looks like, it's the channel of choice.
Had a discussions with my wife about this today, she was of the opinion that it is news worthy and it is our future monarch and therefore we should be excited. I however am of the opinion that neither the queen or any of the royals gave two sh*** when my children were born, I am entitled to return the favour!
Strangely as I get older I am becoming more and more of a republican! I thought I was supposed to get more royalist as I progressed in years!
@phil40 - Steve Peat or the Athertons don't give a shit about how your ride was this weekend either
Her having a baby is certainly newsworthy.
Her not having a baby for several hours on end, less so.
Don't recall wall to wall news coverage when Peaty or the Athertons did something that is completely normal and unexceptional! Also they are not part of the inherited monarchy and therefore probably won't be part of a structure that expects me to show additional respect to them because of it!
I'll see your
,and raise you a "crowds of news reporters stood outside the hospital reporting on the crowds of news reporters standing outside the hospital".Her not having a baby for several hours on end, less so.
Everyone involved should be hunted down and shot as a news generation measure.
Loving the 'lizard overlord' comments!
Sadly, I'm pretty sure that, somewhere out there in the hinterlands of t'interwebz, there are people totally convinced that there's a team of specialists waiting in the next room with the appropriate means to make the baby lizard look human. 😐
There should probably be a Royal Cervix Dilatometer fronted by one of those celebrity Dr types.
It's not the fact that she's Royal, it's that she's a celeb.
There's a live stream of the hospital front door here :
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/royal-baby-news-live-video-2060141
I have to admit that waiting for the royal footman to come out of the front door with the envelope to announce that a baby has been born, is proving to be rather exciting.
I might stay up tonight to witness this historical event.
I can never understand why the media camp at front of hospitals when the royal family repeatedly use the back door entrance!
athgray - Memberthe royal family repeatedly use the back door entrance!
Though apparently they used the front one at least once.
A boy.
Boy, 8lbs 6oz.
yep it's a boy.
(why are births exempt from the metric system legislation?)
But most importantly, does it look like James Hewitt?
"and now the big news is, what will he be called?"
Should be good for another twelve hours of continual news broadcasts.
8lbs 6oz..........8lbs 6oz...............................8lbs 6oz................................................8lbs 6oz
(why are births exempt from the metric system legislation?)
Cougar, all weights and dimensions through the process and after birth, including growth charts etc are all recorded in metric. It's just that we still like to hear what it is in lbs and oz. I don't remember an imperial measurement being used anywhere in the process with dd.
Well I would like to extend my loyal congratulations to Her Royal Highness.
Gawd blessya love......you've done us proud.
Well I think it's all rather lovely to be honest.
Congrats and all that jazz 😀
Official statement from Kensington Palace on birthThe Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news.
It comes as a huge relief to me to learn that the Royal Family are "delighted with the news".
Well, I am republican in outlook and not at all enthusiastic about another royal to pay for...
However as a parent, I wish them all the best for the future with their new baby - as I was lucky enough to do for one of my friends earlier today (Congratulations again P!).
I can't stop thinking about the birthing scene from V.
Where is the placenta in the line of succession? Still in front of the spawn of Hewitt I'll wager.
I reckon George but hoping for Dave.
Tyler
Samuri
I'm going to put a fiver each way on "Jayden" (in case they go for it as a second name).
They should name him Henry IX ... 
I think he might be the last King.
Oliver Cromwell Windsor has a certain ring to it. 😀
WGAS?
How are you pronouncing that j_d?
I have just been down the bookies, and put a fiver on him being named Baz.
WGAS?
Who gets a son? Why, Kate does!
They could call it Chewitt after Charles and Hewitt
Little bugger has stolen my birthday, not paying taxes ever again now!!
Oxford
Apparently, Prince Harry has already gone out to get some ice cream for his nephew....
All I'm interested in is do I get another Bank Holiday or not. 😡
I'm struggling to care, I can't even sum up the energy to even try and post some subversive unwitty comment.
Wayne Satchimo Slow Hand Hitler...
That's my guess.
it will be called replikate.
All I'm interested in is do I get another Bank Holiday or not
