Princess Diana's butler ~ What a meatpickle!

The BBQ Pit
21

I’ve adopted an enlightened approach to the whole Burrell/Diana/Spencer/Windsor escapade currently occupying far too much of the media’s time and attention these days: to wit, putting my fingers in my ears, shutting my eyes and shouting “LA LA LA I’M NOT LISTENING LA LA LA”. I find it more constructive than listening to any of this crap.

The only relevant public interest I can see here is the time and money wasted on the court case, the solution to which would be to force the Spencers to sell their story to the News of the World for the £2 million they were going to pay Burrell for his story, and then give the money back to the legal system to recoup costs. Everybody would be happy, and we could go back to more important issues like wondering who’s going to win “Popstars: The Rivals” and whether Michael Barrymore is too feckless to be allowed out in public without a minder.

Meatpickle. Tugging on his wrinkly meatpickle.

Yes, I’m rather inclined to agree. Everyone seems happy to speculate and gossip, but it’s extremely unlikely the truth will ever emerge (and, even if it does, somebody will say it’s all lies). In the absence of any solid facts, none of this constitutes “news” in any real sense.

Errrr… is there room for an actual debate on this issue?

24

True enough. You have to wonder about a man who owns a swimming pool, yet claims he can’t swim. I’m still waiting for the police to search his house for waterwings.

25

There was a report on this morning’s news that the Palace is conducting it’s own inquiry into all of this bullshit. In other words, the findings in respect of the rape allegations will never be subjected to public scrutiny…

26

Why isn’t Michael Barrymore doing Panto this year?
Because he’s done Aladdin already.

Sorry.

I suspect there are a fair few present in this thread.

30

Any posters though?

31

I used to. It is the cliquest group on the internet.

Its mostly tea boys pretending to me journalists.

32

Um… rape allegations? Telling secrets? This is the first I’ve heard of all of this… does anyone have a link to that stuff?

33

This BBC news atricle will fill you in and there are links to all the other issues on the page.

34

I just came for the meatpickles. Would they be over at the buffet table? Thanks.

[singling]Meatpickle, meatpickle, pick me some meat…[/singing]

Sorry, Fiddler on the Roof was just on TV.

36

There once was a butler elite,
Who had a a great plan for his meat.
He said, “I’d be tickled
if this meat were pickled,
If only it weren’t so petite!”

37

Other than over taxing our fair brits, what exactly is the use of the Monarchy any more?

Answers must be in simple sentances, no more than fifteen words. Go!

38

Fanciness.

Whatever answers you get to that question I suspect your search for cheese will end right there.

Conspicuous consumption to dazzle the huddled masses, slowly cracking under the strain.
