I found the Jagdeo issue to be above my pay grade & so probably didn't read much of what Bjorn posted. I can see of course why you would find him appalling.

I came to believe without any evidence, just my own assessment of human nature, that if Prem Pal were to be long term loyal to anyone it would likely be the three young men whom his father had chosen to look after him as a child, & who were instrumental in getting him anointed as the successor after Shri Hans' death.

That is Charnanand, Sampuranand.......& Jagdeo.

I think Harper probably did post as himself as well as Catweasel, but I can't really remember now.

Yes, Glasser. I think his guns were spiked by someone a lot smarter than me, but again that's just a guess.

So much time has passed I sometimes wonder what has happened to the dedicated lifetime servants who must now be well into retirement age. Not the likes of any of the above, but the people who have kept the show on the road all their lives.

Do they get a pension?
