O.K. where do I even begin? The Sugahs have overdosed on some pretty strong stuff today ... the comments are beyond delusional. If you read some of the threads over on the Sugahs you would swear that Trampolina was the guest of honor! They just need to shut up and stop talking about her/it/the situation. Me think you doth protest too much! I'm guessing many of them are her own team and as always trying to overstate the enthusiasm for her there, and her importance to Albert ("the Albert needs her" myth), because her marriage is on shaky ground right now, and they are doing all they can to build public sympathy for her. Sorry everyone for the previous long posts.

I honestly start feeling sad for the woman! The way Sophie is ignoring her, is so rude! My God! I would run away from there!!! However, why wouldn't she, with the way Albert ignores her, the other "Royals" do the same :-( I read somewhere that she is feeling really depress because she failed in her duty of having a baby. That she has tried IV and stuff like that but it does not work. Can somebody corroborate this? Anyway, this is just too sad to see. I don't like the girl, but being snubbed and ignored for the World to see, it has to hurt! Well since everything she has ever done, is for the world to see! And she has never had any shame in that? She knew no one liked her before she was married (from her own claims) and she never minded that for five years, so why would she be surprised now, or should she expect any different treatment? in fact she said, "it was to be expected." So, it is exactly what she deserves! If you have followed her here from the beginning, you would see that she has done everything to elbow her way into a fake loveless marriage and for five years pretended to be in a fake romantic relationship, while even resorting to threats of blackmail "if Charlene didn't get the fairytale marriage she was owed", so, I think she is getting exactly the treatment she is owed!! If you think she is getting snubbed by everyone, why do you think that is? Why do you think people have something against "only" her? What do you see here that shows people are actually snubbing her? Considering she is the kind of person she is, a girl with an obvious psychopathic personality, who always only considers her own self interest being served--I think the royals are being rather polite to her? This girl has had no problem offended everyone since she reared her head, and I can assure you the "last thing" she was ever going to do was "run", because she has no integrity to ever do anything like LEAVE before she had the "title she felt she was owed." Charlene would not have chosen to live off a very public rich prince (20 years older than her) for five years (publicly promoting it) while also taking large cash payments for her trouble ;D (like she had something else to do, while she was in between men sponsers : . She is depressed because she has not fulfilled "her duty" in having a child--so many things wrong with that sentence...seriously? The only reason this girl is depressed, is because she is not getting the public adulation she expected and promoted....for doing nothing at all. I would say, she is lucky because In saying nothing and ignoring her, is where people are actually being polite. There is a lot people could say that would maje her very uncomfortable, I don't know why she thinks she is owed special treatment. She is lucky these people are as gracious as she is not. She had a deathgrip on that rock since she arrived and claimed she was never leaving Monaco. She cares about nothing or no one other than her own self interest and the title of being Princess of Monaco, no matter what she had to do to get it! And no matter how Albert felt about her--she wanted to be his wife, which is really creepy! So no I don't feel sorry for her, I know exactly why Albert wants to run from her, and why everyone else would like to too? The picture I saw, it actully looks like she is checking out Sophie, instead of paying attention to the person talking, so she possibly is the one being rude--it wouldn't be the first time. All you have to do is look at most pictures of her where she has her attention focused somewhere else than where it is suppose to be, usually with a sour look on her face. The truth is if she is not the primary focus and has everyone's raptured attention she thinks people are being rude to her. I separated your sentences, because I wanted to answer each one, but I think if you read the questions again, you might see that you have answered your own questions.

;D That's what I was thinking. I always thought Diana often did too with the short bouffant hair, which was strange enough for a young woman in the 80's (to an American woman of the same age). I always thought Diana's style looked much more like a woman of my mothers' era. Likewise, Charlene looks very matronly here (hair ) and her suit is too small and tight on her, and I'm not crazy about the fabric either. I think in the picture with Kate, as gracious as Kate looks like she is trying to be, it also looks like something else is going on in her mind, something perhaps like OMG, this woman is trying to channel my husband's deceased Mother, which by the way the Queen did not care too much for . In Charlene's weird arrested mind, she chooses the Queen's Diamond Jubilee to try to embody Diana , the Queen's nemesis, which actually fits Charlene well....destruction, resentment, vengeance and entitlement. ;D. The reason Charlene hates Kate, rather she is so jealous of her position in every way (which is why she can't recognize that jealousy is not normal), and that she herself (for some psychopathic reason) feels is due to her! And it must really kill her just how popular Kate is....all the public adulation she gets, and that Charlene was so presumptuous about getting herself. To quote her own doppelgangers words "Charlene is going to be the most photographed woman in the world" ;D and then she blames everybody but herself for her own unpopularity "everyone is jealous of her" (after that statement).....besides "that is to be expected." ;D Can you imagine Kate (or anyone else for that matter) publicly claiming something so arrogant and ignorant, especially an offensive do-nothing rube Charlene ;D. I can't believe Albert thought she or this contrived fake relationship marriage would fly, especially when you consider what it has cost him. Just wait, in spite of Charlene's "extreme jealousy" of Kate, she will find some way to exploit this small moment of introduction to try to latch on to Kate's own popularity. You know like her good "friend" Harry ;D. She never fails to use people for her own self promotion. She has yet to speak to the press once where she is not trying to brag about herself, or embellish. Myadia, is right about the amount of hatred, jealousy and resentment, Charlene has expressed towards Kate all these years, including everyone else that might hold some importance, but Charlene has that "psychopathic" narrowed "tunnel vision" mind (that she once described having herself) when she wants something, After she couldn't believe her good luck at being introduced into royalty ("I knew I was home") she started to think she was even more deserving of a HIGHER royal family, or one that at least has a bigger public show of regalness. Charlene with her five year old mind, who only had visions of tiara's and thrones, and CROWNS and what's more, her own public show of self importance ;D.

Yes his art looks pretty kitsch. Romance novel art is a perfect description, or to be kind to Grace, perhaps a cinema poster. I never understood why he was selected for Grace's portrait to begin with unless he was the "go to" guy among her friends. How much do you wanta bet that in the portrait of MS CW she will be wearing her "TIARA AND NECKLACE". I mean, how could she not!? I also wonder if she's made a deal to take the portrait with her as part of her parting gift - they certainly won't keep it hanging anywhere where anyone can see it after she's gone. Then again, they may not allow her to have it - I doubt they will give her the tiara and necklace - but then again, that's a little added price to get rid of her. I'm with you! The idea of a portrait of Charlene there truly makes me ill--everyone knows she is a fake and a phony--princess for hire. It makes a total mockery of any family history or idea of royalty there. Is this really what Albert wants to be about and remembered for? This creepy telationship and fake marriage with fake princess! This is the kind of thing that really wants to make anyone stay far away from Monaco, and that is sad. Not only has Albert not been able to attract interest in Monaco with his fake phony woman by his side, he reallhy does not know how many peoply who were once fans and actually patrons of Monaco that he's truly lost when he brought in Charlene. This girl will never be princess of Monaco, in people's minds, and before he does all he can in trying to support that idea, he better remember he is only fueling he in the er more when he no doubt will be in the public relations battle he is going to be fighting before long. He has already let her get sympathy as the wronged princess, forced to marry him! . The fact that no one is interested enough to care and isn't paying attention is his saving grace.

... benefit auction led by Lydia Fenet of Christie's International: red carpet custom made by Fashion for Floors for the wedding of Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, signed by the princely couple ... I just read the above. So, Albert and Charlene - keeping with their trashy narcissistic persona - will be peddling their wedding red carpet at the "Nights in Monaco" gala! Good lawd, is there no one in Monaco willing to put an end to this trash? They are still trying to push their wedding in other people's face after last year's embarrassment. Claiming that the red carpet was going to be auctioned off for charity was the justification given for the obscene cost of Albert and Charlene's "gifted" custom-made wedding red carpet. The original plan was to cut the carpet into 200 parts, have Albert and Charlene personally sign each and then sell the pieces in three different countries at charity events. This plan was hashed when Albert was still suffering from delusions of grandeur (and deluding others to provide free goods as an investment in future sells) that his wedding to Charlene was the wedding of the century and the entire world was going to watch and then later pay for anything dealing with their wedding. Well, of course we know that was a big colossal PR FAIL! What's sadder than Albert and Charlene is that there will actually be some who will buy pieces just to suck up to these two - or save them from more embarrassment nevertheless, I am sure they will add the gained amount from the auctions as proof of more "economic" benefit for Monaco to justify the $75 million they wasted to edify themselves. Why don't they just use it for future events in Monaco. Cutting it up seems even more wasteful. What on earth would people do with a little piece of carpet from their wedding? Especially if they are charging? What kind of people do they think or want to cater to? They don't seem to understand this? Albert wants to retain some kind of exclusivity and glamor that Monaco represented at one time, but he right away hooked up and employed some idiot tacky gold digger that is not only a huge rube, but totally offensive to most people for many good reasons. Her new found luck of hooking up with someone like Albert, and her attitude about it, only shows what a true hick she really is--she has not been shy in sharing that publicly. The type of people who might be interested in someone like Charlene, are the type of people who might be dumb enough to get a thrill out of a piece of carpet, even those people I doubt would purchase it, but then isn't that really the opposite of the type of people Albert has been trying to attract? But then he also somehow thought Charlene has something that a philanthropic sophisticated person would find interesting ;D. Albert has been trying to get these "IT" people over to wine and dine them by serving them SPAM? He doesn't get it--It doesn't matter if you're in Monaco eating off Limoge, Charlen is still spam title or not, and no one is travelling to Monaco and forking over big bucks to be served up Spam! Plus the way Albert flaunted his personal relationship with her (whatever that is suppose to be : all these years--has has looked and acted like some juvenile tween from Teen Beat--Albert has done things that would only attract tacky people, and an audience that can't afford Monaco, and I think is probably about the furthest away from the kind of people Albert is trying to attract. In spite of the fiduciary price that it has cost Albert, where it has really cost him is in respect. I don't understand what he thinks he gets out of telling the world this is what he and Monaco stands for now. There is nothing he can do to fix his problem until he gets rid of Charlene and all memory of her there--until then he is wasting his time, money and any respect in anything he does. The sooner he can get out of this mess the better, however self inflicted it's been, that is the only thing that's going to save him. I wouldn't wast much time moving on, because he is going to have to build his respect back up and he cant do that until the problem is gone and behind him.

Albert could change the constitution if he wants to, to recognize any of his children as heirs. Rainier changed Monaco's constitution and there is nothing stopping Albert from doing the same. I wonder if the change made by Rainier was to protect the throne for Caroline's children and keep the throne from any of Albert's current children. While Charlene can not possibly enjoy the negative press I would be willing to believe that she fully enjoys the lifestyle that accompanies bring married to a head of state. [/size][/size][/size]A billionaire's lifestyle would be comparable to a head of state or a reigning prince's way of living but the prince of Monaco's bank account provides for an unimaginable luxurious style of living. Then only thing that is unattainable is privacy. In respect to mateial things, anything and everything is attainable. A divorce with a settlement would not include the prestige that comes with being a wife of a billionaire prince. It would be surprising if a divorce happened so soon. [/quote] That is exactly right duchessC. There is nothing more important to Charlene than the prestige she imagined she would have married to Albert as the Princess of Monaco. It was not just his billionaire lifestyle....she is such a rube I hardly think she has any true appreciation for the finer things in life outside of the fact of the symbolism of wealth and the prestige she thinks that in itself brings to her. Charlene is all about the obvious "show" of wealth and what she perceives or mistakes as "her" own wealth and of course her own importance in the world by proxy--this is why it was so important for her to have a "tiara!" She seriously has the emotional maturity of a five year old, so it is very hard to imagine how Albert can expect anyone to take him serious or that he can actually enjoy spending any kind of time with someone that is so juvenile and idiotic, among other things. I always thought it was bad enough when I thought she was just using the word as a metaphor for becoming princess--having the Title. But then when I recognized that she was actually referring to an actual tiara! ;D It is all about show and her own perceived self importance in the world, and what's funnier is after she saw how easy it was for a total idiot like her to become part of Monaco royalty....she still was not happy.....she though she deserved even more prestige than the Grimaldi family, so she started thinking she really should be and could be part of the Windsor family....she liked that they had more regal pomp and ceremony, and are considered a more royal family. I think she seriously thought she would try to go for Andrew when she gave up hope that Albert was ever going to marry her. It's not that she doesn't like the wealth that it affords her lazy useless ass. (Seriously does Albert really think people are eager to meet this women? This is what he wants people to see as a representative of Monaco?) Anyway, like you say DuchessC, it is not so much about the money and finer things in life for Charlene, she is not sophisticated enough to actually enjoy or appreciate anything, rather she enjoys the symbolic show of importance it affords her....I mean seriously, she complains about having to get use to French food , and she admits she has never cared about fashion before (yet expects to be a fashion icon), and God knows she has never read a book, or anything else that doesn't feature her, or have a picture of herself on it ;D. Charlene doesn't have enough sense or appreciation for the things Albert actually can afford her (which is such a waste for many reasons). She has no appreciation for culture and art, talent, etc. For her it is all about (in her mind) her own sense of grandiosity and being the most important person in the room, which is exactly why she had such a sour puss expression the whole time the camera was ever on her at the Oscars. She was upset that she did not get the reception and adulation she thought she deserved "there"....at The Oscars, where she was an Oscar award crasher, who has absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment industry, but of course that doesn't matter....she should rate anywhere ;D. Also DuchessC, I think even more than the money and position and title as princess, I truly believe that Charlene thought the title would actually turn her into Grace Kelly and she could leverage Grace's fame into her own. No one is off limits, Charlene uses everyone she meets to promote herself and even those that she hasn't, or wish they hadn't ;D. I have more I want to comment on in your post, but didn't want my post to get too long! So I'll save it for another post!

Caroline is currently in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence not Monaco. She may be settling into royal semi-retirement. I expect that she will continue to attend many official events but the majority will be attended by Charlene..... That's very unfortunate for Monaco, since she seems to be the only one with a brain and some class. You really think Charlene attending the many official events is impressive to anyone or a draw? Caroline's attendance alone at these events w/o princess bimbo are the only thing that is helping to counterbalance the damage that Charlene has done to that country. Albert really is clueless to how and why Charlene is so offensive, and that ignorance doesn't make him popular anywhere. So many people wanted to see him succeed and are very disappointed to learn of what he values, and what he doesn't.

I expect that she will continue to attend many official events but the majority will be attended by Charlene. The presence of Mr and Mrs Chris Levine sitting behind Albert and Charlene does seem to encourage acceptance of Monaco's new princess. How and why? By who and to who? I don't understand--why would or should this would seem to encourage acceptance? I am curious as to your thinking here?

And of course she is not a good sport herself....she not only cannot stand when someone teases her even a little (a thing I think Abert does to get back at her)....just watch her face in pictures and videos. Charlene takes everything as a personal affront--she imagines she is important enough to people that she claims everyone else in the world has gone out of their way to sabatoge her or snub her, when she herself is her biggest obstacle and enemy.... it'so much easier to claim people are jealous of her instead of actually doing something genuine or selfless (a word not known to Charlene) to make herself more likeable, but then that would mean making an an effort (work)something Charlene has never been willing to do. Look at her pissed off face in every picture at the Oscars--hmm, does she seriusly think these people were jealous of her? ;D This girl is just visably upset for not getting the attention she expected or thinks she deseves for being nothing more than an opportunistic piece of trash....even when crashing an event she has no part in and has no business at! So that often seen pissed off look of hers, in her child mind, is just her way of thinking "she" is "snubbing them", by actling like some kind of ass at a place where people would have no problem taking her for a seat filler--you know, someone who actually has a purpose for being there! In fact Charlene is such a moron, she was probably jealous of the seat filler who not only made it to the front row, but got pointed out and mentioned by the host, no doubt, something in Charlene's own five year old mind that she seriously expected for herself--Do you think she practiced her bow and wave ;D Who do you think the people there liked and respected more? The loyal true "blue" seat-filler or the bitchy mock princess, in sisterwife frock? ;D Sorry, I forget what thread we're on? To get back on track, I'll offer up that I think it is fitting that Charlene's face is forever changing and artifice. Why shouldn't the exterior facade match and telegraph what's inside.

This is about how I saw it. I do think originally Albert was receptive to Charlene for all the reasons you mention and then some , but I think he also fell out of favor with her too, especially when she early on already had herself married to him. He dated her privately for a year after her original introduction and the flaunting of her in the media. Albert probably continued to see her privately, because he wasn't really seeing anyone else, and she was eager and available, and I'm sure Charlene took advantage and saw how she had to try to play a different game, since Albert had demoted her and their relationship in the press. Not that a smart women with some empathy for Albert would know and insist on keeping the relationship private not just for Albert's sake, but her own. A smart descent woman would have not wanted herself or her relationship flaunted in the press for many reasons. As you mentioned, she would have wanted to make sure Albert was interested in her for the right reasons, and a descent person is not happy to take advantage of someone that is vulnerable--they would have been happier to see Albert overcome his vulnerabilities. It's also not a real feather in a woman's cap for a man to be interested because he's vulnerable or weak. No woman would be able to hold their head up with what Charlene did or the impression of the person she is. I think a better woman would have helped to build Albert up, and been smart enough to lay low and take the relationship slowly as it should have been. Albert has some insecurities that made him ask Charlene out in the first place, plus I am sure he had the idea of dating a woman who fit the idea he had in mind to promote--that he and his wife were athletes, and that would be his platform. He should have worried about the real things that are important and the rest would have fallen in place.

That goes to the same theory of her being a psychopath. They have no creativity or originality, because they only know how to study and copy people in an effort to impersonate people. Psychopaths also study other peoples actions and reactions, especially people emotions to manipulate people. Her lack of conscience and empathy is what make it easy for her, people can't believe it's possible for other humans to be void of. It makes sense that Charlene tries to completely turn herself into another person that represents and fulfills her own ego. From Charlene's doppleganger posts, she rreally thought she would become Grace Kelly. She thought she would get all and be all that Grace was. She was sure she would receive the same treatment and admiration being a completely different person. She seriously thought the title and the money could change the person that she is, apparently so did Albert and whomever was advising him??

^Yes and I don´t know how he would recover from it. Is he the worst Prince Monaco had or does he shares it with Louis II? Actually, I think Albert and Monaco's popularity would increase immediately if he just corrected the problem and got this woman and her grifter family far out of town. Albert attached Charlene to him as soon as he took over and started flaunting her as the new flagship of Monaco. Albert never gave himself a chance to judge his own popularity by himself as a man. Charlene's never been popular for so many good reasons that she herself has given everyone. So Albert promoting someone like her, and then financially supporting her, sure didn't make her any more popular...it only confirmed for everyone everything they knew about her, and then actually marrying her only made it that much worse . That said, there are people that can change their popularity and image, if and when they start acting with some integrity, instead of taking their cue's from ignorant juvenile gold-diggers or people who think like them. Albert's taste in women really needs to change. I honestly think Albert needs to seek some professional help as to why he is is attracted to self serving psychopathic women that are dangerous to everyone, especially a man in his position. He also needs to stop with all the desperate promotion--the fact that no one is interested enough to pay any attention to them is a blessing for them. Plus you don't hire another self serving person that is telling the world they have been hired to fix an image problem in a royal family . Besides the image problem is a gold-digger that doesn't have any integrity and never ever will, and what's worse is that Albert has let this ridiculous self aggrandizing child minded woman rub off on him, and effect so many of his decisions. The idea that Monaco can fix this with just another superficial and shallow minded PR campaign is ludicrous, after all, wasn't it this very stupid PR campaign that cost him so much in the first place ....in every way! Albert still can overcome this though, but not until he starts acting genuinely and sincerely and starst acting like a monarch with some substance. To change anything he must first actually gets rid of the real problem itself, instead of trying to pile on more garbage in an effort to cover it up. For years and years, I said the palace would forever be spending their time and money apologizing for Charlene for as long as she is there...and probably for some time after, so why delay it any longer--they are fooling no one! I cannot understand why they thought Charlene's image would change any by marrying her, when it was more than obvious that she never was going to! How Albert thought officially making this woman his wife or the faux princess of Monaco was going to help anything is just so bazaar, it only made everything that much more of a joke. What's worse is that I don't even think Albert "likes" Charlene much? It's so bazaar! Why would you dump your fortune and all of your own and your families honor for a person like this? It's absolutely insane to me.

I thought this too, about why Albert didn't get married in a church, and I think it pissed off Charlene too. Her doppelganger was going on about how Charlene was getting discounted and not getting the full treatment by not getting married in the church. This really bugged her, and I think that's why she tried for the drama of the crocodile tears at the church during the wedding ceremony, as if the religious aspect of the ceremony touched her to tears ;D. Maybe they were tears of anger that it was as far as she was going to get in having a royal church wedding. Albert had a Catholic ceremony, married by a catholic priest, but I think Albert knew it probably wouldn't be a wedding that was going to last to long, so I think he may have tried to find a loophole, not that he ever uses any foresight ever?

OMG, if they had to hire someone to turn around their image, the last thing they should be doing is advertising it, especially the very guy hired to turn it around. Too funny. All they need to do is to use some common sense, which also goes for the people they hire??? Does the word discretion exist anywhere within the palace--I guess Albert's faux wife and the desperate promotion of her all these years is probably the answer to that question. ;D Creative, I have to laugh, because once again it reminds me of Arrested Development. Reminder when they had to hire a publicist...Remember their charity cause TBA ;D. Like Lindsey who was told she needed to get a job, maybe they could get Charlene to hang around bars to promote alcohol by gettimg men to buy her drinks--that sounds up her alley. Charleze's character so perfectly sums up Charlene, except Charlene has no heart or money. I can't believe they are advertising all this . In one stroke they could fix the problem by just getting rid of the problem, instead of committing it to their history. I've never seen such fiduciary waste and risks these people take. One more self serving person Albert has "hired".

I have always thought, aside from Albert and his flunkies thinking they could sell this girl as the next icon (of what I don't know but that's beside the point), that Albert really wanted a "wife" just so the tabloids would stop reporting on his extra curricular activities like the time he was in NYC with 6 (?) blondes at a restaurant. She is as we have always known just about the photo op for him and the fact that she lives for the cameras and the press. The idiots probably thought it was a win win situation. JMO. There is a downside to that though. Albert may have managed to get his affairs exchanged for those of CW, tabloidwise. But his liberty has been limited too. He could do what he wanted, with whom he wanted. But imagine the field day the tabloids will have if he's ever photographed with, for example, those aforementioned six blondes. Or a umpteenth baby that has obviously been conceived and born after the wedding of the millennium. .... That is exactly right! That is what I was trying to relay to someone on the sugar board before the marriage when someone said this would be an open marriage ...so where's the fairy tale then, that they're trying to sell? I tried very hard to express that a married Albert only made him that much more vulnerable of being an already easy mark and target to women or people who would like to blackmail or manipulate Albert for their own purpose--he seems to have a hard enough time dealing with that as a single free man? What's Albert going to able to say publicly....oh we have an open marriage? That would be popular! Or maybe he could say we just staged this whole creepy superficial marriage to manipulate the public to shore up our own coffers, in other words "we were just using everyone and insulting their intelligence" That didn't even go over too well with the reality crowd ;D. With the idea of how relevant royalty is these days.... a faux marriage with a woman that you know no one likes, and who has never bothered for five years to do anything to try to change that, or think she should have to make an effort anywhere. To quote Charlene about her unpopularity "...that is to be expected..." ;D. Anyway, I tried very hard to send this message about how much harder it would be for Albert in having any kind of outside relationship after he was married...especially to a manipulating wife who loves to talk to the press and use it in her favor...against Albert and his family. Not like that isn't something Albert has had much time to observe about her . This is the woman they thought would make a good princess for Monaco.... These people would say, Oh, "people" just need to give Charlene a chance (after five years) "she just needs time to grow into her role" (after five years ) "we'll just try this and see how it works out!!" (after five years, they have no foresight of how that's going to work out_) Well, how's it working out for you!! ;D Now that you went ahead and totally screwed yourself. What a glib idea "we will see, she just needs more time, more press and more power to show just how inept and arrogant and useless she really is? We spelled it out for five years for them trying to prevent this train wreck--all we could do is to point to this woman's very obvious problems and manipulations in her own very obvious agenda. From day one we told Albert he was painting himself into a corner, something Charlene was doing her very best to do! It always amazes me how people prefer to listen to the ones they should be the most scared of and ignore the ones that are trying to help or protect them. That's why people are so !@#$%^& irritated with him now and feels he deserves all the problems he has now, and even more in the future. Anyway, they seemed to think "people and the media" owed this iself serving idiot girl something? They did, they owed her the truth and at least most of the American journalists seem to be showing it to them. No one bought the marriage, no one bought the gold digger, and now no one's buying Albert or Monaco. They're only confused by it all, just like we have always been. Who would freely walk into this nghtmare, with nothing to gain and so much to lose?[/font][/i]
