Not the ones ...You've got the Brad Pitt photos?<br />Not the ones with the elephant, Michael Gambon, and the frying pan??<br />Good grief. You know, that was such a good night I don't even remember it.<br />Chantage is a beautiful word I didn't know.

Consider:<br /><br />Taking photos of you, Sally Prue, on a date with Brad Pitt and selling them to the Daily Mail isn't illegal<br /><br />Asking you for £1,000,000 isn't illegal<br /><br />But woah! If I combine those two activities, suddenly I'm neither paparazzi nor a friend in need, but a downright dirty blackmailer! <br /><br />Personally, I prefer the word 'chantage', which is blackmail, but it's not as ugly.<br />Eddie Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286045359355498275noreply@blogger.com
