Vash, do they still do those in the Sunday press?
Dunno mate, I only read the weeklies.

But knowing the UK, and having seen what passes for interior decor in this country, I'd say that the answer would be "Yes".

Please, is this coming from someone from the Continent that style forgot.

I have never seen such poor interior design in my life until we started looking at houses for sale over here

Default Re: Diana - an accident, not a conspiracy

The sad Daily Express has been peddling regular front page stories (I don't read it you understand, just see the front when buying my 'quality' paper) since 1997 about the 'conspiracy'. Even after Lord Taylor's report it said, next day that 86% of DE readers still believe it was a conspiracy.

The Times said the best person to come out of the trilogy in the report was Henri Paul, the driver. He was the semi-drunken Fayed employee who crashed the car at 100 mph, trying to escape the pappasomething at Dodi and Di's behest. He was told he wasn't required for the rest of the night and after having a few drinks with his mates Dodi rang him up and said you are driving us somewhere. Di didn't wear a seatbelt too so as to not spoil her lovely outfit (sorry, damage her supposedly unborn child).

So basically it was MI5, Prince Phillip and the CIA working together to get rid of the pregnant Diana.

The only answer I can think of is that Mohammed al Fayed puts a lot of business through the Express.

I also prefer to think that with the rapidly declining circulation figures of the DE they came up with a strategy of cutting their price and going on and on and on about Princess Di - there's enough people out there who want to read this type of thing. Fayed has not come to terms with the fact that it was an accident and was his semi-drunken employee who killed them and here's the important bit - he would get his way into royalty through his son. Buying Fulham and owning Harrod's was not enough to give him the recognition and 'celebrity' he desired (also a way of thumbing the nose at all those years of the government refusing him citizenship).

You forgot to add that he didn't realise it was just a summer fling and she wouldn't have married him in a month of sundays.

But hey, why let facts and truth get in the way of a good story .... again

True, she also had winter flings, autumn flings ...... butler flings, security guard flings, officer flings (who does Harry remind me of again?) .......... and it was all because of that evil Charles who was forced to marry her by that evil Philip.................

Oh god don't start on the Harry parentage thing - I don't think I could cope I think it's fairly obvious (well it is to me anyway) that he is sooo Charles's lad but rumours will always be there.

I really like Philip He reminds me of my dad

Did he also warn Brits not to stay in China too long or they would end up with 'slitty eyes'.

Right, we're perhaps talking someone to whom tact is what you use as a fastener?

Oh, let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of Walsall!
I'll show you something
That will make you change your mind...

Nobody's ever explained to me why a woman allegedly fearful of dying in a car accident planned by her ex-hisband, was nevertheless not wearing a seatbelt at the time of her death...
