Hopefully the poor man won't be incarcerated for much longer.

He was recently cleared of those three charges they had against him.

Well I haven't been paying much attention.

And I don't even know if those middle-aged women who were touched! more than a quarter of a century ago have got the cash or the revenge they wanted.

But I note that the middle-aged woman who had Roman Polanski's penis in her 40 years ago is now asking the judge to close the case in order to 'move on with her life'.

It seems he died 14 days ago.

How has it been kept secret for 14 days?

Or have I been too busy to notice?

Presumably the family wanted to get the funeral out of the way first. They didn't say what they did with his remains. If he was cremated maybe they took him home to Australia. I wonder what the queen did with his portrait of her.

 

[pat grimshaw]

I bet the queen has big warehouses down in Slough full of tacky junk given to her on all her travels by well-meaning devotees over the decades.

Nope. A decade on, still don't give a shit.

She's dead

^ Yes I know she's dead but I reckon her replacement will ponder carefully what will be conserved and what incinerated.

They have garage sales in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. They're not advertised in advance but if you're lucky you get to hear about them on the coconut wireless. I picked up a set of six sporks given by the Emperor of China. They're made from laminated plastic but from a distance it looks just like stainless steel.

I did a general search on him on May 14 to see if there was any update. At that time only articles that he was very ill.
