Craig 6290 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is the Daily Express still obsessed with her btw? 188573[/snapback] 100%! Here's Rob W with his insightful information. He was the bloke in the white Fiat Uno tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I was woken up to the news that our game with Liverpool was postponed. Only reason I gave a shite tbh. I was in Cambridge at the time, the response was hysterical. 188471[/snapback] I'd been out on the lash the night before, didn't get up until just before our game against Liverpool was due to start. Put Sky on and read that the game had been called off due to the death of the princess of wales. I looked at it for a while and thought that can't be right, they must mean the Queen Mother. Had to go on to BBC to double check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8950 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 9/11 had a more profound effect on me than Di.. I respected what she did in public but knew nothing about her real life so I couldn't really make a judgement. as with most things, the British press blew it entirely out of proportion though.

Gemmill 34187 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Isn't there a bigger statue of Di and Dodi? I thought there was more to it than that - it's Al Fayed with his shirt open baring his chest or something. SSR posted a picture of it up on here with BUCKLE UP written around the bottom of the statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 If I was a tabloid editor at the time I would have ran with the Headline "Di dead as a Dodi". To the utter ruin of the paper, obviously. 188571[/snapback] Who was it that came up with: Di's dead Dodi died The Dodo's dead Dido must be shitting herself.

Sima 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) Is the Daily Express still obsessed with her btw? 188573[/snapback] Yep, at least 2 headlines every week. I'm sure there is a website somewhere that monitors it. http://www.bigdaddymerk.co.uk/mailwatchnew/?cat=5 Edited August 31, 2006 by Sima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 As somebody said earlier in the thread it was sad two young lads lost their mother and would have the press and nation obsessed with it for what turned out to be fucking ages, so they had little escape from it. But the way people went on was embarassing. Some of the moronic parents who dragged their kids (and even babies) from round the country to sit in the freezing cold all night so they could get a good spot to "enjoy" watching the funeral procession, i mean FFS! And the people that were loudest in blaming the press for her death will be the same people who everytime she appeared on the frontpage of a paper, bought it thus making it profitable to put her on the front page, meaning the press would follow her more.

Ted Maul 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The French have reopened the case into her death IIRC. Ofcourse, they'll come to the same verdict as before. Couldn't have been more non-plussed about her death. I was just gutted our match was postponed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Never been less arsed about something before in my life. Another tragedy was the passing of Mother Teresa a week later which recieved a fraction of the coverage despite devoting her life to others.

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Apparently Prince Phillip is the head of the masons and was owed an enormous favour by his equivalent in France. To settle the score, Big Phil got the french dude to set it all up on french soil. Thats what i was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 By the way, Helen Mirren is playing the Queen in a drama about the Royals/Governement in the period just after Diana died. Will she get them out though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vatican couldn't stand by and watch a mere nun climb to a position of such public adoration. A saint too early, the bitch had to go. Notice how little's been said about her since? No one will have heard of her in 100 years. In fact, in all probability it's no coincidence that Diana went the same week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
