Diana Memorial Service

[NotAllThere]

German colleague commented that today is a special day for us Brits. I had to ask her why.

and do you think they will invite a iman?

Only if David Bowie is invited too.

No doubt the world’s news will be replaying the scenes of flower tossing on the motorway as the hearse passed, the mountain of floral tributes in London etc.

All very depressing and over sentimental...and an embarrassing loss of reserve & stiff upper lip

Really not bothered at all abobut this Memorial Service... do they do it for any other royal that has died ? Is there a service for the queen mother ? I doubt it.
It just another pointless event for a Princess that seeked publicitiy when she was alive, and can still grab the headlines now she is dead

Married her way into power and privilege. Slept around a bit. And now she's all over the headlines again for happening to have died 10 years ago.

Strange world we live in.

Oh My Gawd, it was a nightmare.

I was up bright and early that day, as I was supposed to be working on my Super Killer Application (SKA). When working at home I like to work with music in the background, and all the radio was giving was "sombre" music.

I soon got well peed off with that. Once I'd worked my way through my full LP collection, I tried the telly. Same thing. I ventured out to the farm shop to grab some food. Same thing on the radio there.

Tried the local newsagent who did videos. Too late, as anything except utter rubbish was already rented out. "*ç%&/( it was still only 10 o'clock!

By about that time C4 had relented and did the right thing by putting on kiddies cartoons (Sighs of relief throughout the land from parents, no doubt).

By 11 o'clock or so the TV chat shows had started uo. When they sank so low as to dig up the woman (plus husband) who'd done her wedding dress, it was time to give up and hit the pub. I couldn't believe my eyes - the place was heaving.

What was even worse was once the dust had settled a couple of weeks later. The Beeb in its infinite wisdom decided that the nation really needed to catch up with the cancelled episodes of Eastenders. OMG, More Pain! I never liked the wretched programme in the first place; to be confronted with it for hours on end was just too much for me.

I found the whole thing sick, sick, sick, in a sickety-sick kind of way.

P.S. I'd already worked out my own conspiracy theories within 10 minutes of hearing the news, so hearing them time and again ever since has been quite boring.

I thought the whole thing back then was a complete crock of sh1t and still do. I only wish I had shares in a florists back then.

Today my South African colleague wondered why we Brits seem to be obsessed with her.
