It's statistically improbable, almost impossible, but they never seem to do anything right.  Own goals Having been away from the Sussex story for awhile due to a work-related focus on the US presidential election, I quickly skimmed developments from the past week or two and found myself shaking my head at fiasco after fiasco. Harry's made the most prominent own goals - from popping up on a lowbrow reality show (Britain's "Strictly Come Dancing"), to a self-pitying PR campaign about how the Royals refused to leave a Rememb...

 Sorry for my continued absence. Duty calls. Here's a fresh link.
