Diana Memorial Service

[robnjc]

Because we're mostly nostalgia freaks dreaming of glorious empires past . I remember driving to my folks about 3pm the day she died and cursing madly at being unable to find a single station not mouthing platitudes and hagiography.

Message for the UK - get over it!

where's the "down with the royals and anyone who was a royal" choice.

Where is the bastille in London?

I agreed with her, I don't give a tulipe.

However, that doesn't mean I'm anti-monarchy. I just can't stand the OTT attention.

All those muppets that say "she was lovely" - did they ever meet her - no, it was just their perception of someone who was in the headlines a lot.

Mind Blair and Brown are !%*&*'s and I've never had the misfortune to meet them (but then again Diana didn't try to bleed me dry or sell out the country)

BA in rant mode

Diana was a blonde bimbo slapper good-time-girl who also knew something about media manipulation.
But it's symptomatic of modern British culture that she's now a saint.

Oh dear: I need to go and have a lay down, I'm agreeing with sas...

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

Don't forget the Yanks. They won't hear a wrong word said about her.

This joke didn't go down at all well with my Yank colleagues:

Q: What did the mortuary attendant sing?
A: Zippety Dodi, Zippity Di

I'll get my coat.
