The Andrew formerly known as Prince (was: Jeffrey Epstein thread)

So probably not that porous for people who lived either side of it.

Good news for those with inadequate flood insurance.

I've always pronounced Ghislaine the same way I pronounce the chocolate company Guylian (when I say always, I mean since she started appearing in the papers, which was about the same time that I started regularly dealing with Guylian at work). I still have no idea whether I pronounce either of them correctly, but this thread seems to reckon that it's with a hard G, so at least I've got the first letter right, and I'm pretty confident about the last.

Nationality-wise, L's grandfather was born in Newfoundland before it joined Canada, and he'd refuse to call himself Canadian since 'the vote was rigged'. He maintained that position all his life, and it was pretty much confirmed to be true in later years. England wanted rid of the hassle.

I've yet to meet a Newfie who didn't believe the same.

Having researched a number of them, I haven't come across a single plebiscite of that sort that didn't feature significant fiddling by at least one side.

[San Bernardhinault]

Ghislaine was seen in the company of people “From Kevin Spacey to Princess Diana”... plus Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Piers Morgan, Elon Musk, Harvey Weinstein...

You’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Ghislaine Maxwell’s photo album.

That was striking in the docu. Oh, look, there's Spacey. Harvey, of course he's there. Holy fuck and colour me shocked, but there's Woody Allen. Polanski? Where the hell is Polanski?

[WOM]

Has anything unsavory ever been suggested about Morgan, beyond the phone hacking stuff?

[ursus arctos]

His entire career and persona are unsvoury in my book, but likely don't meet your True Crime standards

Well, and lots of chipper looking Harvard people.

Hey, not everyone on this board can be called Chris.

I'm not called Chris.

I'm called Ian, like everyone else on the board who isn't called Chris.

[G-Man]

If I had the energy to riff on Spartacus gags, I'd stand up and say: "I am Chris!"

[WOM]

I'm called Ian, like everyone else on the board who isn't called Chris.

What a mind-f*ck: after I read that, I genuinely couldn't come up with your real name for about twenty seconds.

[ursus arctos]

Well, and lots of chipper looking Harvard people.

There are lots of words I could associate with the Dersh and Larry Summers, but "chipper" is most definitely not one of them

Well that raised a chuckle.

Steven Pinker is in there, plus others I couldn't identify.

[ursus arctos]

We must just have different notions of "chipper"


Pinker is behind Epstein. The other guy is Bob Trivers, an evolutionary biologist

[Bruno]

The doc showed several pics of him at Harvard that conveyed general good vibes. I''m sure your notion is the correct one.

[Toby Gymshorts]

I'm Chris, and so is my wife.

[Fussbudget]

So are my aunt and uncle as it happens (really)

[G-Man]

I was in a meeting once with three guys named Chris. And my grandmother wanted me to be named Christian (after her husband), so but for a decision going against her, it cold have been a quartet of Chrises.

[WOM]

And my grandmother wanted me to be named Christian

That could only have been more appropriate if they'd called you Holy Roller...

I floated the idea of calling our son Valentine but my wife torpedoed it immediately.

[Bruno]

Did you try dropping the e and saying it in French?
