Tonight I'll ask Mrs Jim if I can enact a Prince Andrew Handshake upon her person. Will report back tomorrow. Assuming she hasn't broken my fingers.

You could always get one of those selfie sticks and hold that with your lips to press the keys. It could take longer.

Royal Family granted new right of secrecy

The Royal Family is to be granted absolute protection from public scrutiny in a controversial legal reform designed to draw a veil of secrecy over the affairs of the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William.


Letters, emails and documents relating to the monarch, her heir and the second in line to the throne will no longer be disclosed even if they are in the public interest.
Sweeping changes to the Freedom of Information Act will reverse advances which had briefly shone a light on the royal finances – including an attempt by the Queen to use a state poverty fund to heat Buckingham Palace – and which had threatened to force the disclosure of the Prince of Wales's prolific correspondence with ministers.
Lobbying and correspondence from junior staff working for the Royal Household and Prince Charles will now be held back from disclosure. Buckingham Palace confirmed that it had consulted with the Coalition Government over the change in the law. The Government buried the plan for "added protection" for the Royal Family in the small print of plans called "opening up public bodies to public scrutiny".

Some say it's better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.

I wonder if that also applies to government institutions/bodies - all for our own good natch

[Vipers]

I often wonder why in so many alleged sexual encounters, women wait years to say anything, mind you a slick lawyer no win no fee talking telephone numbers might just encourage some of them.

Not saying all, we know from some of the latest ones in the UK, some were reported at the time.

The FBI have four hours of tapes taken from a hidden camera(s) in the guest room:

Probably too stunned by reading such strong terms to respond.

I'm sceptical, but assuming for a moment a damning video did emerge, I am more than a little intrigued as to the ramifications.

Major embarrassment for a bit.

Andy goes to meeting with Mummy. No coffee. No biscuits.

Relegated from Publicly-Viewable Embarrassing Paunchy Millionaire Playboy to mere Embarrassing Paunchy Millionaire Playboy and we soldier-on.

Prince Andrew has been beset with various rumours and innuendo of a nature for as long as I can remember and he's managed to move on from those quite well so I'm sure whatever's next is of no major concern to him.

If it hasn't been written yet, this may help

Quite. Not exactly unusual in his family.

Prince Andrew's former friend is back in the news again.


"Jeffrey Epstein, the politically well-connected US billionaire, has been charged with sex trafficking, according to reports."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jul/07/je...


"Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, and will appear in court in New York on Monday, according to three law enforcement sources. Saturday's arrest by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force comes about 12 years after the 66-year-old financier essentially got a slap on the wrist for allegedly molesting dozens of underage girls in Florida."
