completeness

Mr Grinter, Reeman Dansie's royal expert, said Ms Polson's slice was the first piece ever sold "in its completeness".

In a statement on Saturday, O'Neill added "for the purpose of completeness", that she had also been made aware by staff of an "unrelated issue with an adult female colleague of Michael McMonagle at a non-work related social gathering a number of years ago".

Other issues, such as pain during sex, can be significantly improved or cured, he says - adding that his patients often experience improved self-esteem “and a sense of completeness”.

Detectives also visited Nizamodeen in Trinidad in March and despite concerns about "inconsistencies in his accounts", said they would carry out this "final search for completeness".

To put that in context, ideas of “completeness” in the fossil world are almost as prickly as a stegosaurus’s tail, according to Cassandra Hatton of Sotheby’s, which is overseeing the sale.
