    The stupid bitch ruined a good day up the pub when the Liverpool v Newcastle game was abandoned and the Monday evening beers were ruined when they cancelled the Old Firm game!

    The only minutes silence I had that day was for the death of television, nothing on it only her!

    Why aren't all our national flags currently at half mast on the recent death of the Green Party? :confused:

    For the same reason that flags aren't flown at half-mast when a dog gets put down.

    most people in Ireland didnt even know who Katie French was until she died, Diana was one of the most recognisable women in the world, not exactly a fair comparison.

    But, she was our peoples princess !

    I had no idea who she was til I heard someone talking about her that morning, aobut how "tragic" it was.

    They made a statue of Diana and put in some park in London after she died.

    It represented her life and death.

    And how she was totally shallow in both.

    Nothing new with this, didn't Devalera offer his condolences on Hitlers death.

    Jaysus no way! hahahaha fair play

    So? She was an ex-royal who did a bit of charity work. Should we lower the flag when Angelina Jolie dies?

    No.

    But you could always do what the Feds done with Monroe and take a jump on her while she's still lukewarm.

    It's terrible really.
    It's not as if the Brits flew their flags at half mast when katie french died.
    That's because she was Austrian.

    Dunno. Try Firefox. It might help.

    But she's still a dead junkie. She doesn't deserve respect.

    I hope you're wearing a parachute - all the way up there on that moral pedestal.

    That's ridiculous!
    Firstly she was hardly a junkie, she was just unfortunate.
    And secondly Diana was just some over privileged bimbo cock fiend, she was far from the mother Theresa figure the english seem to think she was.
    Thirdly, Katy was way, way, WAY hotter!

    I know which one i have more respect for.

    Both women were wealthy and led privileged lives. One chose to help others and give her support to worthy causes, the other parties and did **** loads of coke.

    I know which one deserves the most respect.

    Lads, the poster that mentioned Katie French was just joking.

    I think this is relevant to the thread:

    Diana was a parasite, nothing more.
    And at the risk of repeating myself, Katy was damn hot!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,566 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred

    Diana was born to be royal breeding stock. She did quite a lot considering her only purpose in life was to produce an heir and a spare (which she seems to have done a good job of)

    'the palace' was faced with the problem of justifying her staying on the civil list, and some advisor or other came up with landmines as a suitable public activity.......doubtless there were a number of laughs generated at the time....

    She was the mother if the 2nd and 3rd in line to the throne and without a doubt the mist popular royal at the time. They didn't need justification.

    She also upset a lot of people with the landmines stuff as it was considered too political.

    The royal family (especially the queen mum) would rather she just hid away somewhere and kept quiet.

    By the sounds of it she tried a lot of producing with different ingredients!
    She did nothing!

    Probably a lot less ingredients than most women her age.

    If all the rumours were true, she probably only slept with 10 men, that makes her practically celibate!
