So....what happened to that 10-week course at Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership?
Is it now an Internet class attendance with field trips?
Or is he on sabbatical?

Are investitures the one where you get called a Dame?

[Fertiv]

More of William dishing out gongs at the palace. 
(MMM  - I don't think he did any damehoods today, but this would be the place to do it if anyone was up for one)

Thanks Fertiv! What I meant was, is the investiture the same as when celebs get knighted or is this different?

Yes its the same thing...  There are all sorts of different medals and awards, but mostly its the Order of the British Empire.  In order of seniority/importance you can be a Member (MBE), Officer (OBE), Commander (CBE) and Dame (DBE)/Knight (KBE)   Dames or Knights (eg Sirs) being the top of the pile here.  You can work your way up the pile as well, if you have a long career or do lots of good things.  David Beckham started off with an MBE but has been upgraded to CBE for example.

What a load of bull. I'll bet he hasn't spent 1 solid minute reading their forum. IMO he spends absolutely no time actually taking care of "the screamer."

I hope that kid screams through every photo op they take him too-maybe that is the backlash the Lamebridges will get.

Mrs Russell added: ‘Netmums has created a ‘‘movement’’, giving mums a voice at a time in their lives when women often feel disempowered. Because of our work post natal depression is no longer a shameful secret but something parents talk about openly.’

Since when has post natal depression been treated like a shameful secret? It's a subject that is all over magazines and all over television. It's not like this is something that is a dirty little secret at all.

Honestly these types are becoming really, really tiresome.
