It's a lie about me and Lord - well, you know who. Not that I'm naming names, mind you. Because that just wouldn't be right. And I’m not the kind to 'snort and tell' anyway. Not even for £50,000.

But it's not TRUE.

No matter what they say in Australia.

Please tell us the rumours about videos of oral sex are also fallacious. Enquiring minds want to know...

I mean...ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!

I like the good old days when the censors could cut offending articles out of the Canadian and American papers before letting them into the country. King to marry Mrs. Simpson indeed. What hogwash!

St. James West, pray for us now and in the hour of our need.

Maybe the Royals need to buy a castle near Spokane? My partner earned his undergraduate degree in the Inland Empire.* From some of the stories he has told me, it would be a good place for the Royal Family to set up shop. That city even seems to cater to "straight" men having sex with other men.

*Spokane, Washington, metro area.

If there were, one trusts it was a priceless Oriental. "Slumming it" with the servants is no excuse for letting one's standards slip.

I admit I AM curious as to why You Know Who can't be identified in the British press when everybody in the world with internet access and the least bit of salacious curiosity know who we're (not) talking about.

I believe the 'logic' is that people who are being blackmailed need not fear that their identities - and their alleged misdemeanours - will be splashed all over the tabloids if they go to the police and to court. Stopping the courts doing the blackmailers' jobs for them, so to say.

And one should not confuse a mere Lord with, say, a Viscount - an error that I would not have expected of you, in particular, Sine...

A Viscount should be addressed as 'Lord X'. I imagine Sine knows precisely how to address gentlemen.

I believe Sine was referring to a Viscount, not addressing one. In any event, Sine would probably be on first name terms.

Maybe because the law recognises that if you want to catch blackmailers it doesn't help to gain the co-operation of the victim if you start by spreading the allegation around.

I just checked the first three US newspaper web sites I could think of (not counting NYT which hates my browser) and also CNN, and none of them names the alleged victim in their main-page news story.

As a matter of fact, a Viscount should properly be referred to as 'Lord X' as well as addressed as such. [Razz]

I have every confidence in Sine's superior understanding of such matters of etiquette.

He may be a tart, but he is also a has been. Idaho should take a lesson (or at least Larry Craig).

This is what happens when you go to the police saying someone is trying to blackmail you, but the facts don't add up.

erm, surely what a man does with his two-wheeled friend in the privacy of his hotel room is his own business?

I understand that a gentleman who roots pavements in full public view might warrant the attention of the local constablary, but bike-shagging in private seems harmless enough to me.

(Mind you, it's a bit dangerous. He might get his thingy stuck in the chain.)

That was my thought, too. I'm assuming the prosecution had more to do with him ignoring the housekeeping staff's knocking/calling, and what how he may have reacted once they opened the door and found him and his two-wheeled sweetheart.

Ah but this wasn't a hotel as I read it, it was a hostel. In a hotel you have paid substantially to be treated as a resident. In a hostel you are paid for by the state to be an inmate. This has substantial relevance to your rights to be treated with respect and consideration for your privacy, and - it seems - to your right to fuck two-wheeled modes of transport

And what's this about it being an offence to have sex with an inanimate object? God Almighty. That means every dildo, blow-up doll and half the wives of this world.

Every second bloke and quite few woman will be registered as sex offenders soon.
