Royals are always newsworthy, and always will be because of the high profile they have. I think most people know who Andrew is.
Which is why I’m baffled as to why there hasn’t been an interview with a Pizza Express employee who remembers that time when A MAJOR MEMBER OF THE ROYAL f.cking FAMILY popped in for tea.
Maybe they signed an NDA for some purely innocent reason.
This is a joke. It definitely didn't happen.
They may have done but there must have been people in there with phone cameras?
It was back in 2001 , so not so likely.

This Toby Young of whom you speak. Does he have a newsletter?
That I can spit on, and then burn?
Just spotted this (on Wiki)
Young is reported to have edited his own Wikipedia page 282 times in the decade to January 2018

Yeah, if there was a prize for being on the wrong side of every argument Toby "Son of Baron" Young would be a strong contender for it. It could sit on the shelf next to the "Unearned Privilege" and " Lesser Son of a Greater Father" Awards he'd also be a strong contender for.

I'm in California for work at the moment, and introduced some of the engineers I was visiting to that word.

They also need to learn that 'bollocks' is much more satisfying to say than 'balls' - as long as they don't pronounce it the way they do 'buttocks' like it's two separate words (butt - ox).

Yup, and the engineers there seem amenable to such views.

I don't think I've ever heard an American who wasn't a fictional character do the butt-ox pronunciation thing. The vowel sound changes regionally, as does the hardness of the 'tt', but Gump's version is non-standard

I assume you mean Forest Gump, which I've never seen. And never will. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. You do if you read the f.cking label, tw.t. (Yes, I have seen clips)

I'll just have a quick word with the vet and check the records, shall I?

Probably went to a homeopathic one. Their records are illegible, because the ink is 30C.

Prince Andrew giving ‘zero‘ cooperation to Epstein inquiry, say US prosecutors
Now - in the spirit of the special relationship, and also the principle of fair exchange is no robbery... extradition of Prince Andrew in exchange for Anne Sacoolas.
