Silly Bint of the Month – Princess Diana
August 28th, 2007
Well I’m sorry but I’m sick of hearing about her. It’s not nice when people die and it was a bit of a downer when she did but for crying out loud first they had that stupid music gig for her which consisted of a bunch of bands and artists that were loosely connected to her and then they were still showing programs and tributes this weekend. Ten years since she’s been gone, I was half expecting someone to come up with some silly name for the whole affair and due to my bad eyesight and pondiferous imagination I thought they had. There was an advert for that shitty program ‘Dance X’ on BBC1 and I thought it said ‘Diana X’.
It would have tied the whole thing together and annoyed me at the same time. Due to the consistency of her exposure she is, controversially, the silly bint of the month.

I agree completely. And if she hadn’t been out drinking with her chauffer they’d have never have ploughed into a bridge in the first place!

Ooh! Ooh the controversy! This place is literally swimming in a big, moist puddle of controversy!
On the other hand it’s all way over the top, and let’s not forget that she wasn’t a princess when she died and hadn’t been for several years. Makes me irate to hear people still referring to her as a princess when she wasn’t.

What do you mean she wasn’t a princess when she died? So they call her the ‘People’s Princess’ *shudders in fear* and she wasn’t? That’s the biggest sham I’ve ever heard of! Dear God, what is this country coming to?

She used to be a princess, when she was married to the big-eared one out of the Royal Munsters. But when they got divorced, she wasn’t married to a prince, so she wasn’t a princess any more. Back to just being Lady Diana Spencer.
So Princess Diana never died. She wasn’t a princess when she did.
WHY OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY?

GOD DAMN THE ESTABLISHMENT!

Chris – she was a princess when she died. She lost the title HRH on her divorce to the big-eared one out of the Royal Munsters. She was given the title Diana, Princess of Wales. She did not revert to being Lady Diana Spencer. Not everyone who divorces reverts to her maiden name.

Auds I invited you along to agree with our silly opinions not to cause a fuss 😛 I’ll be having words with you when I see you next, and considering you’re sat in the living room it won’t be long
8. Auds | September 1st, 2007 at 20:54
Cause a fuss? Me? When have I ever been known to cause a fuss? How very dare you. I am a woman of principle, and stand by what I say, young man.

Well, I stand corrected, but she will always be lacking royal status to me.
Whichever way you slice the pie, she’s still not come back to life in the last 10 years. Maybe it’s time she stopped making the headlines on a weekly basis.

Aye it annoys the fuckery out of me too!
It was a damn stupid concert … no good bands 🙁 and tbh was just a bit of publicity for the princes .. rather than trying to remember their mam ..
w/e Im passed caring 😛

Liz you abbreviate far too much but I get what she’s getting at. There wasn’t any point to it really unless it made some money for some charity.
It’s like, do we celebrate everybody’s ten year anniversary of their death? No. Do we want to? No. It’s easier to move on and forget. They’re living in the past.
And I like sliced pie 😀

I too think that by the time she died, she lacked any of the neccessary requirements for all this fuss and malarkey. OK so she did a lot of charity work, but so do thousands of people. They dont get a state funeral and mourned forever, she was divorced from the royal family for shagging everything better looking than charles, which lets face it is pretty much everyone.
Grrr.

I vote that, during the Newcastle visit, we have pie and custard in memory of this thread.
14. Kevil | September 3rd, 2007 at 12:14
And then in 10 years, we could do it again in memory of the fact we did something in memory of something… qua?
15. Ian Mac Mac Mac Mac McIver | September 4th, 2007 at 08:09
Yeah, fuck that in your eye and smoke it Diana!
Whilst people are remembering you’re dead we’ll be eating pie and custard and celebrating the fact that we’re alive! Maybe we’ll even raise money for charity whilst we’re doing it.
Fate has made us gods, gentlemen.

May I put in a request for cherry pie? Or failing that, good old apple. Those are the kind of apples that have apples surrounded by pastry.
17. Ian Mac Mac Mac Mac McIver | September 4th, 2007 at 12:44
You’re right those are the apples that have apples surrounded by pastry. It’s a good description is that. If I was an apple, right, I’d wanna know me.

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR MY FACE!
19. Chris | September 4th, 2007 at 13:58
We could make a Kev’s face-shaped hollow in the pie crust so you could insert your FACE into it. Then there would be room, there would be room aplenty!
20. Kevil | September 5th, 2007 at 10:29
Yay!

Ingenius. Absolutely ingenius.
