I am getting tired of the same damned arguments from the nannies every damn time we mention things might not be copacetic in the fucking house of cards that is the Cumberbatches.

First, the harping on Occam's Razor. For fuck's sake. It doesn't mean what you think it does.

When you hear hoofbeats, think horses. We have all seen or heard this phrase. The conclusion you can draw by Occam's razor does not exclude the idea of zebra. The simplest explanation is that there was a sound. Regardless of what made the noise. To make any other statement is to assume facts not in evidence.

So what is the fucking point of all of this? Why the hell does it matter?

You harp on the facts as you see them. House said it best. People lie. It's the human condition. Trust none of what you hear and half of what you see.

The facts are thus.

A religious wedding ceremony(not a secular marriage) was celebrated. The reading made a reference to a date that was 9 months before the reported date of a child that is reported to be Benedict and Sophie's.

There was a christening for one bundle of white fabric.

There have been names reported for 3 children.

Benedict has repeatedly said 2 boys.

Sophie has made comments about not being motherly.

Benedict has appeared less in public then previously as judged by random tweets, selfies and social media posts.

There have been very limited sighting of Benedict with varying numbers of children, and sometimes with Sophie.

The children are reported to be school aged.

The links below are reddit threads and a website that may prove educational. One of the prevailing arguments used by the fucking nannies is that no person in today's society would ever fake a fucking marriage.

Well, I beg to differ.

Also an argument, some skeptics believe that Benedict might be gay. They argued that he married for his career and for children. The nannies countered that no one in this day and age does that.

I beg to differ.

Another argument is that Benedict wanted children and this was a means to an end or Sophie might have baby-trapped him. The nannies countered that no one gets married because they get knocked up.

I beg to fucking differ.

The nannies have stated that Benedict has stayed with Sophie so they must love each other. They believe that people don't stay married if they hate each other.

I fucking beg to fucking differ.

These aren't isolated posts either. There are specific examples when search parameters were entered. There is also a whole damn website set up to facilitate marriages of convenience.

So next time you're spouting off that drivel about true love forever and how long they've been married think about some of these stories and maybe have a point of view that is not the same as everyone else.

WEHT

“What matters to me is the quality and the variety of the work,” he said last year. “I’m in it for the long game. I’m interested in working in 40 years’ time, and turning round and talking to an actor and telling them stories about working with Judi Dench and Michael Gambon. So any talk of ‘man of the moment’ hype, heat, whatever, I just smile wryly. It’s the same shit with ‘sexiest whatever’. I was around 10 years before that as an actor and no one took the same face seriously.”

On Snowboarding

“I’ve gone three times this year.

...

It’s great, just getting my turns back in and getting my balance and jumping. I’m not jumping-jumping. I’ve never done a half-pipe; I learned too late. I started when I was in my mid-20s. Already my center of gravity was too tall to risk airborne, frantic gymnastics over an icy half-tube pipe."

Celebrities probably never meet their best / most likable fans since such people are well adjusted and not likely to go above and beyond to meet their idols, and instead celebs have to deal with crazed “super fans” that interract neurotically and leave them with an unpleasant vibe.

So Sophie is supposed to have a degree in Modern languages yes?

Here is a link from Oxford about their requirements and courses offered.

You can take one or two languages and her original CV stated French? with no reference to Spanish. Now that doesn't mean she didn't learn it independently, but her knowledge of Spanish was only referenced recently. Also it is stated as a 4 year course.

She has stated that after Oxford she went to L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq(French mime school) from 1999-2001. Now this is also where her possibly lying about her age comes in. Here is Sophie's quote about getting in to l'ecole.

‘I remember ringing up and they immediately said, “You’re too young,” and slammed the phoned down. So I phoned back and said, “OK, but could you send me the prospectus anyway,” Sophie recalls of her application to the world-renowned L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq. By 1999, after graduating from Oxford, she relocated to Paris to study physical theatre for two years.

In 1999 if she was born in 1978, she would be 21. If born in 1977, she would be 22.

While trying to find that particule article another article came up. This young man was accepted to the same school in 2019. He was the youngest person ever accepted. They did a story about him.

youtube

I did a bit of checking her original CV from her agent Curtis Brown said she had a degree from Oxford(No college/Hall) in Italian and French.

Here is the Current CV from Curtis Brown in which all of her education has been removed.

Also interesting is that there are no producer/directing/choreographer credits? No Voice of God/Letter Reader? But I guess they don't count? Also no credit for how did IMDB put it? Audience/footage on Jimmy Kimmel

But apparently Sophie's transformative powers are so great that she can change into different people and occupy the same space as them at the same time.

For the Sophie lover that keeps pushing the Beyoncé connection. I did say distance right? Here are the trees, you figure out the exact number of cousins distance they are but Bey is QE2's 25th Cousin once removed if that helps. My mystery skeptic that is giving me this information is not quite as many greats from Ben. They are actually a direct cousin to Timothy. Which means they are distantly related to Sophie by marriage and not Ben and Sophie's, so I'm told.

Here is a tree I had before and I have permission to add my mystery skeptic source on the tree where they belong. Also adding Beyoncé's tree. You can see the only connection they share is QE2.

BTW, Sophie is related to Dick Cheney. Just a FYI fact. Here is a page that has listed all of his "famous kin". (Sophie did not make the cut of people listed as Famous.) Meghan Markle is listed as one of his cousins as well. There is a couple of people that if you are related to them you are related to almost everyone. It appears that Cheney is on that list. It is interesting what is passed on in genes. Some of the family members show resemblance and some don't. I'm talking personality traits more than physical description. Some traits I'm referring to include one line of that family has massive vocal skills. One doesn't. Taylor Swift, James Taylor and Beyonce are somehow involved in this mess of a family tree. But some people on this tree can't sing. For instance, I suspect Cheney can't hold a note. Aren't genes interesting?

First, the nannies have always said you can't be a true Ben fan unless you watch all his movies, buy a his merch, attend all his events and know everything about him. That started from Day 1. Cumberbitches will be Bitches.

Second. Yes, there were articles about the Cumberbitches before Sophie. Articles about their obessive behavior. Not only that, quotes from Ben.

This one is from 2014 but still is mentioning Obsessive behavior.

The Gifts he himselfs asked them not to bring, yet they persisted.

The most disputed one os the Christmas present brought to Karon Maskill's office. He told them repeatedly via CVGG's Twitter, at events, and via Cumberbatchweb not to give gifts yet they continued to do so.

I needed a distraction because the word sucks right now. For the time being we still have Freedom of Speech and the haters have decided to use theirs to their own detriment. Morons.

First, I've never cared much about V or that whole situation. But the haters DoctorT (can't who spell or edit their url apparently) doesn't understand what a pseudonym or nom de plume is. They have printed this gem of an anon on their blog. They then agreed with it. Along with a ton of nannies.

It doesn't matter if V stands for Veronica or Victoria or Veruca. It could be a place holder for another name and V was a convenient letter to fuck with your heads. The point was not to use their name. I assure you my birth name is not throughly just like Gator's is not Gator. I never thought I would have to spell out what an alias was to an idiot on the internet.

Also the Peanut gallery jioned in on the comments.

You. Are. An. Idiot.

I've been avoiding this. Unless you want to show me yours, it's time to put the cards on the table. You say your source is "that Sophie's birth has been indexed by the Gro".

One, some of your information has been coming from the blog now called furriesandus formerly thethreefurries. They have stated they are related to Sophie but have contradicted themselves several times and seem not to know how relatives work. One time they are cousins, the next they shared a great-grandmother(second cousins) but the next time they only had a name in common and did not know the relative that they shared. Also, I'm not sure about you but I've never seen a first cousin's Birth Certificate as that blog has sworn they have, let alone a second cousin or further away relative's birth certificate or at least I hadn't until I started working on my genealogy. It's amazing what you can find online. Although the mormons made their site inaccessible without registering. They had the most free information.

Two, you used the phrase "birth has been indexed by Gro". That seems to be referring to the birth registry which is not the same as the Birth Certificate. There are circumstances in which a birth can be registered late. I am not sure what those reason would be but the full list is available on the Gro website.

Three. There are other government papers that list her birth year as 1977, including her electoral registry, which is public record. There are several other Sophie Hunters that live in the metro London area but the one listed as 1977 is listed with a middle initial, that being the letter I(Sophie's middle name is Irene) and the SAME BIRTH DATE. (i.e. March 16) The address matched Sophie's stated address at the time. I'm not overly familiar with British law but I presume there would be a penalty for lying about your age to vote a year early? I know there is in the US.

Fourth and last, the Birth Registry Index listed for a Sophie Hunter in Hammersmith born to Anne Gow is listed for June 1978. That doesn't even match her age. It is very obvious that her birth was registered late and penalties were incurred. Ben's registry, by the way is September 1976. So this seems to be more common that people think. Also the books are in quarters. Every three months, March, June, September, and December.

It could be a confusion with one of the other Sophie Hunters that is around the same age and was also born in UK. I believe there is one designs hats and one races Horses. (She just married. She is no longer Sophie Hunter.)

How am I so sure that I have the right Sophie? Besides the overwhelming preponderance of evidence? I am very distantly related to her. Here is the entry from my Ancestry app, minus the part that says how exactly she is related to me. She is only related very distantly through marriage, of course.

This is my hill. Sophie was born in 1977.

Also came across these in my search for these notes.

This is from a google forum discussing how Ben and Sophie were related because everyone in England is, or just about.

This is from thethreefurries/furriesandus discussing how she was(or wasn't) related to Sophie.

I REALLY REALLY hope this isn't who you are relying on as a souce for your information...

Then there is this. In response to the people who question the peerage book, (Burke's peerage has been around since the 1800's) a enterprising skeptic wrote to the company that published it and asked for their source of information. Here is their response:
