Convincing? I think not.
Well conducted Emily. Don't think Michael Mansfield could defend him.

I think the Queen's marvellous Machel 
But after her, time to end it. Charles and his bit on the side. Don't think so. And remove that plum from your mouth and relate.
One revealing fact in that interview was him talking about his legal team.
If you've got nothing to hide you volunteer testimony. Caught out right there.
Don't try and block it.
Feck - why are these dudes held in high esteem. Accidents of birth.
Give me a paramedic any day.
That's an MBE.
About time they culled the hangers on like him, lying through his teeth
I have recorded it, but not yet seen it.
From what I have seen, I don't believe a word of what he is saying. Also he seems to have very selective memory in what he does and does not remember.
Stinks more than a latrine in 100 degree heat at noon.
He dug several graves for himself in that interview. A Paris tunnel awaits Andy.

The queen certainly is marvellous, I also have the greatest respect for Anne and Sophie, two beautiful women who keep their heads down and work hard representing the queen.

Well, Sophie wasn't born into it, so she always had that work ethic anyway. Also, I'm sure running a PR firm meant she was better prepared than most (including those in the family) for the demands of being a royal in the modern world.
That said; lots of respect for Anne. Always seemed the most grounded of the Queen's children, and even sings "Flower of Scotland" at SRU matches. 
Oddly (or perhaps not...), those "in the know" always say that Andrew has the greatest sense of entitlement, despite being the least deserving.
"Not a clever man", apparently. You'd never have guessed, eh?

Sophie did marry into the family but she has kept her head down and worked when others haven’t, although now she is now on “the fringes “ she still earns her keep. Never liked Andrew although did respect him for his part in the Falklands, in an interview he was asked if he was ever late, no he replied everybody else was too early....

Good point Eugene although Flower of Scotland is a total dirge. Cannot stand it Same goes for Caledonia.
Hope you're okay.

Not too bad, velvet. Had a number of RL issues all coming at the same time recently, so had to step back a bit over the last week. Will hopefully have a better idea of where everything's going by the end of the week...
