"SPARE P****" springs to mind .....

In the North of England if someone is referred to as gone spare, it means you have gone crazy
Mind you both of them are a shilling short of a guinea anyway

 

[NauticalGent]

Wow. When you are in a hole, stop digging...

I'm amazed that he's not aware of the innuendo that can be generated from his statements!

If he is aware then he's got some serious issues!

 

[Isaac]

I gotta say, Yeah, I agree, that stuff is real crap - but the absolute funniest thing is hearing a Brit say it. It's like this ultra-aren't-I-elegant intonation combined with cream on a todger is just too much!

 

[Pat Hartman]

And he was thinking of his mother while doing it because it smelled like her. What a sicko.

My wife just finished the book "Spare" has anyone read it?

I was fascinated every time my wife gave me an update on what she had read. I might give it a go after I finish my current read.

 

[Isaac]

oh "gaawd" AB, don't give him any more $

 

[AccessBlaster]

If we don't read his words then we have to take what his critics are saying at face value.

I find myself thinking you are both absolutely right, and you've put me in a real quandary!

My wife has purchased the book and I might just read it because I'm no longer in a quandary!

 

[AngelSpeaks]

I can't believe idiots are buying his book!

In Britain nobody can understand why those two are so well respected and regarded in the USA. It seems to be a country that clearly cannot get enough of their opinions and superior knowledge. It appears that over there they hang on their every word and stand in line to throw $millions at them. Even though it does appear, since they went there they have achieved nothing at all. Does anything exist to support their promises or imagined aims after all these years? The expression smoke and mirrors comes to mind. Mind you when they first married they planned to go and save Africa, so maybe the USA should be grateful they went there instead?

They planned to instruct the whole of the USA on how to manage their mental health, because they are experts. They were going to end racism in the USA, because they are experts. They even had a charity with many noble aims, but hasn't that now closed down? If so not the first of their charities to shut down. Doesn't the IRS have Archewell in their sights?

What did Harry Markle get for his book about the memories of a 10 year old who was given one sausage less than his brother? Story around the campfire was a $20M advance followed by another $60M. It is probable that nobody has made any money from Harry Markle and the Witch of Windsor, and it is unlikely that they ever will. But the Yanks still apparently hold them in total awe and simply cannot stop throwing money at them. Not only that, in the US they do seem to believe their ever changing stories, and stories they invariably are.

I must have missed that memo. The only updates I get on them are from this forum and they come across to me as spoiled, attention ****** in need of a 12-step program.

 

[CJ_London]

Perhaps it's another myth they are perpetuating

 

[Cotswold]

All I need is advance notice, or a good guess of their divorce year and hopefully decent odds before everyone else jumps in.

As fate would have it, an interview with Candance Owen's on YouTube mentioned that prior to the book, about 50% US citizens were sympathetic to their "plight".

Since then they seem to have lost a good part of their fan-base. I have no idea...they do not interest me in the slightest except on this forum.

The US audience only heard their side of the story. The monarchy in the UK has a philosophy of, "Don't complain, don't explain."

As well they should. The cardinal rule in any culture is you don't air dirty laundry.

 

[AngelSpeaks]

Many of us in the US think these two are morons.
