Princess Diana's death

[threebikesmcginty]

It was, I spent the morning in the gym with only one other person for company.

I went work to avoid all the nonsense. Easiest journey ever.

Of course it's sad and unfortunate when anyone meets an untimely demise but are the God only know hows many other unfortunate victims of RTAs who have died in the past twenty years less worthy and not news worthy?

I hate media driven mass-hysteria which is one of the reasons I never buy newspapers and generally ignore news programmes.

I seem to remember the day of her funeral more than anything else. On that day I had just received my new truck and was busy making delivery,s of frozen foods. I remember the whole delivery depot stopping work for an hour as a mark of respect.

I was in the shower when Mrs SJ rushed in and exclaimed rather formally, "Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales has died".

Your wife calls you Lady Diana? That does sound formal!

I wonder what he is called during the week, Lord Mountbatten

Your Highness.

Bob.

I just remembered earlier that a lad I used to work with had his 21st birthday on the Saturday of the funeral, village hall booked, sausage rolls ordered.

Come party time only half the invited guests turned up. Those that did were so glum and morose.

He was a mild mannered lad, but one mention of lady Di would get him effing and jeffing.

Enough of the Diana stuff, sick of all the farking fawning.

I'm completely indifferent, didn't know her so just another RTA as people have said.

Parading her two sons about though was cruel, how anyone thought it was acceptable in any shape or form is deranged imho.

I woke up and switched on the telly.
There was rolling news on all channels about 'the accident'
It was obvious someone had died, but who ?
Queen Mum was the first choice, no, there was some mention of her,
The Queen maybe, no, there was a mention of her as well
Charles, Anne, Andrew, Edward, ? No they all got a mention
ahhhhh must be Phil the Greek then! No, he a got a mention as well
I'd run out of Royals by then and was thinking major politicians or even a 'national treasure'

Then after about 30 minutes of BBC coverage, someone finally said the 'Diana' word, and it all made shocking sense.

Later that day the Royal Flight accompanied by two Harriers with Charles and the coffin on board went very low straight over the top of our house in Greenwich.

On the funeral day, we were rebuilding our kitchen at the time.
The builders all turned up, did an hour or two of work, and then all of them settled down in front of our telly to watch the entire event, beginning to end.

The best bit was Earl Spencer's very accurate speech. That was genuinely moving.

I would guess that all the nasty womenses strike you that way.

Hahahahaha check out them likes ..your like fecking ticks

 

[lutonloony]

I have absolutely no recollection of what I was doing. Think the worst thing about it was Elton John rehashing candle in the wind

 

[Drago]

No, the worst thing was Reg Dwight's new wig.
