I still haven't forgiven him for almost driving me off the road in his Range Rover many years ago when he tried to lose his security team in their Rover SD1 whilst enroute from Balmoral to Aberdeen airport.

Driving like a maniac! Another symptom of the infinitely self-entitled!

(and BMW drivers for some, possibly the same, reason)... ;)))

Saying he went to Pizza Express does not conflict with going the Tramps later that day.
He didn't go to Tramps. He went with a tramp.

What a world. Now a gal has to think twice even before dreaming of a prince on or off any horse.

yes, definitely. I thought the tabloids are overdoing it, but it's even much worse. Well, or hilarious, depending on how you see it. Epstein as a person with extraordinary abilities to bring together extraordinary people, and how the Prince learned very much from them.
The interviewer is admirable, though.

What is it about about princesses and green things. Didn't one of them have an altercation with a pea?

yeah, she did.
I wonder if she remembers?
Princes sometimes don't even remember 'positive actions' (it's 'the kind of activity', youknow, for men it's a positive activity, and one would definitely remember it. A man, that is. If a man does not remember, it never happened. Because one would remember that. If one is a man, for whom it is a positive action).

Andrew did say that, didn't he? What a total arsehat he is!

If you think about Royalty interaction with people it is 'please to meet you' grab and grin, move on. Anything they say their adoring audience will say 'yes your Royal Highness'. They probably don't get much chance for conversation. 😁

Gobbers.
As we both know, and as every single man knows, you remember pumping a girl twenty odd years younger than you, for pretty much forever.

Sad to say HRH is clearly a giant fibber.

well, they might, they are just single men :).
But, there's a very simple explanation: "If you are... er... somebody ...ee..r... like me, ... then people behave in a subtly different way. [---] If you're looking for it, then you might have suspected now."
The last one was about him not noticing anything, because he wasn't suspecting anything and wasn't looking for it. Youknow.

Honestly, I laughed out loud alone. Even though it's not funny at all.

Yes, perhaps/allegedly but I didn't say "twas no sweat"... =))

Andrew poor dab, is not only a fibber, he is a very bad one...

Would I want Andrew to go out with my younger sister? No is the answer.

Without prejudice, I can remember Tornado Tonga with the contra rotating tassels, and that was 54 years ago, and the young lady with matching knickers and skirt at the road house opposite Offutt. I guess living a busy life and meeting lots of interesting people may full ones memory.

1) How can anyone forget one incident (nightclub visit with bimbo) but remember a second incident (buying a pizza) which serves as an alibi for the first ?

2) Which incident would tend to be remembered: a sexual encounter with a willing young bimbo, or going out to buy a pizza* ?

* Here I must confess that anyone who knows my love for chorizo pizzas cooked at Silvia's restaurant in Castelló would accept my explanation. I remember every one I have eaten there.

OFSO, or indeed remember the event you can't remember, as it didn't happen, with an event you did on a day you can't?

I can't speak from any experience but I suspect that if it was a one, or two, or three, off I would remember. If, however, I had access (via a friend) to exercise this opportunity maybe tens of times with lots of different ladies; would I remember each and every one? I suspect not.

Fair comment. But the answer is dammed if you do . . .

'I don't remember' means I might have done.
