Felipe VI....A Profile Of Spain's New King

Son of his father, Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Grecia has successfully come through a rigorous selection process to be chosen as the new Spanish head of state. Some doubt has been cast, from those carping republicans, on his qualifications for the job - given that he appears to have reached the age of 46 without ever having had what could be described as a real job. His wife Letizia can tell him about that, although her decision to abandon journalism for life as queen to be suggests she wasn't that keen on a career either. Felipe sometimes has a beard, and sometimes doesn't, all of which leads to inevitable confusion. Perhaps it's false? We don't know. The elephants of Botswana were unavailable for comment at the time of writing this profile, although there has traditionally not been much love between them and la familia Borbón.

I don't think I missed anything out? It would have been a lot shorter if I hadn't put his full name.

True. Anyway glad to see you are still "alive".

Glad to hear something from you, short as it is. I hope you find the time to get back to your previous output.

Thanks John, unfortunately there's no sign that my productivity will improve that much - despite the unquestionable benefits of years of austerity. My blogger account is starting to look more like the construction bubble, there are half finished blog posts lying around all over the place.
