Given that juries are often swayed by things like physical appearance I am now absolutely baffled as to how he got off (I was leaning towards stupid law plus prosecution didn't make its case). I mean surely one look at that face and you assume he must be guilty of something!

I don't know, I've always thought awesome works best in small doses.

The headache was probably caffeine withdrawal unless you switched to drinking coffee instead. Cutting it out in one go is really unpleasant and I say this as a fully signed up caffeine addict - I just avoid the issue by never ever cutting down!

Drinking too much water can kill you. Of course too much water is more than too much soda, but still it's possible to consume too much of *anything*.

It's the same attitude that comments on posts about one tragedy with oh but x tragedy was worse. Humans can feel more than one thing at once, just because you feel understandably sympathy for someone whose pregnant wife was brutally killed shouldn't prevent you from finding his behaviour disgusting. You don't have to…

He has his grumpy on in a way only a toddler can. Hope he does well though, poor kid.

I don't believe as 16 year old is too young to understand the implications. I'm sure some 16 year olds are but the majority of them are perfectly old enough to understand the implications of having sex. I am well aware that consent from someone unable to understand the implications is not consent and I'm sure it will…

Right, the difference between consensual sex and forcible sodomy is just some legal technicality.

Because having consensual sex with a 16 year old you met in a bar isn't child molestation (and unless Georgia has raised it's age of consent since the incident isn't statutory rape either) but sodomising a non-consenting 13 year old most definitely is. And because Roman Polanski has been convicted of a crime and then…

Better yet, load the jet pack with Polanski...

You don't have to abdicate on behalf of your heirs too. The reason Edward did was because at the time he had no children and they needed to avoid a situation where he might have them later with Wallis and then they would try and press a claim to the throne over George VI's children. Elizabeth could perfectly legally…

The Royal family are funded by 15% of the income from the Crown Estate, lands which belong to the Monarch but from which the income goes to the treasury. So basically they pay for themselves *and* contribute 85% of the Crown Estate income to the treasury. I can't find a current figure for what the income from the…

I wonder how many times he practiced/read the instructions, for the baby seat before having to go and do it in front of the massed ranks of the media.

The conspiracy theory that says Harry was Hewitt's son also says they just lied about the affair starting after to cover it up. But yeah, he looks a lot like Diana's brother, who is also ginger, so I hardly think that his hair is just proof of anything except that genetics are tricky things.

Yeah I'm so not seeing what the fuss is about. Throughout history royal wives have been desperate to produce a male heir to secure the succession and when they've failed they've been set aside, executed, just plain died in childbirth, or wars have been fought because no one would accept a woman ruling (see Matilda and…

The last couple of generations they've avoided using living royals as first names and tend to put them as middle names so although Philip is possible I think it's unlikely. Maybe as a middle name or maybe they hold it in reserve (since Phil is getting distinctly frail) and use it for a child born after he's gone.

No she wasn't, although if you go back far enough I think she was descended from royalty. neither was the queen mother. Prince Philip was. So by that logic the Queen is a half blood royal, the Prince Charles would be 3/4 Royal and that's all the maths I ca be bother with now.

To be fair from the logo and everything I think that was BBC News 24 so he's probably giving the same report about every 15 minutes and so I doubt he'll even be in trouble. They're a lot less up tight than on scheduled news bulletins. Because frankly when you're a rolling news channel even things that start as news…

Staffie snoring is cute too. Also the sleep barking. The howling he did last night in his sleep, not so much!

Well from the point of view of someone working in a souvenir shop in Montreal then yes Canada and the US probably *are* boring answers, they'd be a lot more interesting to someone working in a souvenir shop in Melbourne, whereas Australia and New Zealand would probably be boring answers to him.
