    Yeah, that legitimately does piss me off. JK Rowling needs to learn where to stop, but her initial argument was right. If we're now able to call Mahow in a dress a 'woman', whilst someone without a Y chromosome has to be reduced to a bleeding fanny, then things have gone more than a bit off piste.

    Did my post go missing or have I had a dig at Mahow in the wrong thread?

    This is the ultimate argument against 'Start-Up' people being successful because they are intelligent rather than just having money already.

    "Investigators ran a credit-card check and determined that Haspil’s was used to buy the saw and cleaning supplies used after the murder, and that his card was even used to pay for rides to and from the crime scene, the source said."

    At least pay in cash for your fucking murder cleanup and getaway drive. Fucking amateur.

    Mahow would be in the conversation if I had to pick some potential TTH trannies. To cover the full spectrum him (leans right into it, dyes his hair pink, wears revealing clothes and goes around trying to get turned away from female changing rooms so he can moan online); Hammer (more conservative about it than you would imagine); mokbull (the intelligent, hyper-aggressive type - the 'Navy SEALs of SJWism' as Steve Sailer calls them); and Boydy (transitions at about sixty because a bad divorce throws his brain out). Boyd would easily pass the best as well, so it's a shame to leave it so late.

    The correct order is actually;

    Hammer - Societal misfit that thinks it'll gain him acceptance
    Shindig - Gamer who hated trans people until it became an issue his gamer mates would call him out on. Transitions because the first selfie he posts after transition gets more compliments than any other photo he ever took.
    Yevrah - Late in life divorcee, gets a bit to into the culture after a wiki search of Father Ted makes him ask why Graham Linehan isn't popular anymore

    Esquire is to do with class isn't it? I suppose we could culturally appropriate it for the task.

    Apparently so but I had no idea with Bill S Preston Esquire being my only real familiarity with the term.

    I think it's suitably archaic and indeterminate to be repurposed.

    In America, in the Uk it's some form of quasi-nobility somewhere between a 'gentleman' (???) and a knight.

    Aka something knobheads write after their name.

    Edit - I replied to Lewis post at the bottom of the last page before I seen there was a new one. Basically, you can’t choose it.

    I checked it out, it literally means 'anyone with no other qualifications' which is a perfect summary of the type of upper class member that would use it.

    I spoke to an 'esquire' on the phone once. He hadn't signed his Coutts cheque. He was indeed a rather spectacular cunt.

    What is a gentleman? I presume you had to be one to qualify to play for Gentlemen as opposed to Players. I guess it's having private income or something?

    Land ownership and/or having the right to vote maybe?

    Originally, a gentleman was the lowest rank of the landed gentry of England, ranking below an esquire and above a yeoman; by definition, the rank of gentleman comprised the younger sons of the younger sons of peers, and the younger sons of a baronet, a knight, and an esquire, in perpetual succession

    Last week Judge Esther Salas was brought in to oversee a lawsuit regarding Deutschebank's handling of Epstein's finances, today a geezer dressed as a Fed Ex guy turns up at her house, kills her son and wounds her husband, before being found dead from apparent suicide. Just more extremely normal things happening in the Epstein case.

    The Epstein civil suit has nothing to do with the Epstein trial. Investors are suing DB for taking Epstein on as a customer.

    And who else is a high profile customer of DB that has recently had judgement passed regarding the release of financial records?

    As are the apparent suicides of Thomas Bowers, Val Broeksmit, Calogero Gambino, Pierre Wauthier, Carsten Schloter, Martin Zenn and David Rossi. Wonder what the link there is.

    Explain the link.

    One case was about sexual assault by Epstein.
    One case is a civil suit against DB by their investors because DB took on a client like Epstein. It's not about a cover up or about proving Epstein's ties to his pedo island.

    Thomas Bowers - DB executive who signed off Trump's loans
    William (Val is the son, got that wrong) Broeksmit - DB executive with knowledge and files relating to Trump's loans who's stepson Val is co-operating with the FBI and Congress over
    Calogero Gambino - DB executive helping US regulators investigate Libor rigging.
    Pierre Wauthier - Zurich exec who complained in his suicide note about his new boss Josef Ackerman who transferred in from DB. Ackerman denied any wrong doing but quit soon after.
    Carsten Schloter - Swisscom exec took his life a few weeks before Wauthier.
    Martin Zenn - Zurich CEO
    David Rossi - Head of Communications at Monte dei Paschi di Siena committed suicide by falling from a window, enough suspicion about it being homicide they were looking at reopening the case.

    It's possible it's all a coincidence but I didn't realise these rich bank guys were such suicide risks.

    The suggestion is it's all to do with the Libor scandal including stuff like financing Trump when he was bankrupt, Monte dei Paschi di Siena being financed by DB in deals where they overpaid for assets etc.

    With absolutely no knowledge of the subject, wealthy ne'er-do-wells facing an end to their cosseted existence and/or time in a federal pound-you-in-the-ass penitentiary probably rate fairly high on the suicide risk scale.

    But the person who died is the son of someone on a civil case regarding suing the bank on its choice of customer. It's not about Epstein or his guilt or what he did or didn't do.

    And I'd go with niko_cee, time in prison for high end execs is probably not the greatest for morale.

    But more likely it's conspiracy.

    My favourite of those was Lady Antebellum changing their name to Lady A, then raising a legal case against the black woman who'd already released multiple albums under that name.

    Because that's how you prove you're not a racist.
