How are they perceived over there? With the likes of Operah on side quite well in certain sections I guess.

All the cringeworthy BS would appear to be aimed at the American market, so the cousins will be lapping up all the glitz and glamour that comes over from Englandshire. I suspect the ones who have seen through the charade are very much in the minority.

G-C , it's the Douche and Douchess, shirley.

Saw their picture on front page of one of those gossip rags in the check-out line of the grocery store.
The word "Divorce" was prominent in the headline. Didn't stop to read the rest. Ran.

I thought we were "private"? :-\
What we love...
what "we" love appears to be the sound of "our" own voice. 63 words in that "joint" statement.
Absolutely, not a chance in hell. Hope the lawyers for the defence point all this out in her court case.

Apparently Harry has previously posted on that site (I don't know his user name). If he's still reading them, some of those comments will be like getting a bollocking off the RSM......or Capt Mainwaring. ;)))

If correct it would be bloody brilliant if he is still reading in. Could be a way of getting him to listen to his ex colleagues. I am registered but have never posted. Tempting. Flew you with your mother as a toddler Sir and you seemed to have gone back to that mental age.

Go for it sah!!! Your post will get an "Excellent" rating from me...and I suspect also from many others. As you may have worked out, there are some very senior people who move in various circles who post on that forum. His brother is also "thought" to be a member although Bad CO and Good CO (the forum owners) won't comment.

Absolutely amazed that their official Christmas card says 'Happy Christmas' not 'Happy Holidays'. Maybe there is hope yet, or maybe not.

Did anyone notice the low resolution of the image - or was it just my eyesight?

Apparently it's some fancy feature that will give photographs the effect of a paint-by-numbers effort.

Only a few hours to go before they try to upstage HMtQ by announcing a ginger bun in the oven?????

Cynical?? Moi??? Shirley Nott.

I've got 50p on it with the missus. She's betting me her chocolate Santa Claus.
