no one cried in the UK for a worthless rich woman who lived off their taxes. This country is so much better than the rest of the world.

Yeah but she wasn’t chipping in 6 irons from the tee box hole after hole after hole.

Thats absolute muck Neil.

there's something slightly odd about their 'crying'....

[eFestivals]

Apparently its the law that they have to mourn the leader as loudly as possible..

So they've got a good reason for their crying for someone they didn't know.

I wonder what excuse there is for all those who mourned dead Di? Just mindless muppets, perhaps?

[eFestivals]

well you have woken up in a good mood today Cheer up neil

I'm in a great mood thanks.

There's never anything wrong with a bit of hard truth.

I've never understood either the Royal thing or the celeb thing. They're all just people that we have elevated into positions where we hold them in awe because they look pretty, can sing a bit or shake hands well. As a journo I covered one of the Queen's Jubilee Tours many years ago and we used to go up to people in the crowd that she'd just shaken hands with to ask if Her Majesty had let slip any interesting nuggets. But it soon became apparent that she only ever asked two questions "Have you been waiting long?" and "Have you come far?" For many of the people who shook the Royal Hand it was a really big deal. "I met the queen and she shook my hand. She was really interested in me." Not much different to stars or celebs meeting their fans.

Hans Blix will be sleeping more soundly

[eFestivals]

I always laugh at the competitions that let you met x,y or z star / celeb and I always wonder what the hell you say...

"Yeah, I liked your last film"...

"Cheers"...

That's about the end of the conversation isn't it... The rest must just be an awkward silence

I once unexpectedly got introduced to David Byrne by a festival organiser who knew I loved Talking Heads.

organiser: "David, this is Neil, he's probably your biggest fan".

me: "uggggg".

There's just about no worse way to get introduced to someone I reckon.

a study has proven that those with conservative views are less intelligent than those with progressive views.

Well no shit sherlock.

The most amusing part of this tho is that the only paper which published details of this study was .... the Daily Hate Mail.
