realized my default is to call her ‘Lady Diana’. Not sure why.

  • Lady Diana
  • Princess Diana

well, up until 2008 it was an interesting conversation piece innit, about your life at that unifying moment.

I mean, it’s gone now the answer is always “I found out when I was on the shitter refreshing Twitter/Facebook”

“she’s not a Lady”
“yes she is”
“no she’s not, she’s just Diana”
“yes she is, I’ve seen her bra”

Fed up of the coverage but making a thread about it? Clear grab for the #numbers

I don’t think I did much, watched some telly (rolling news probably) and had a roast maybe.

Yeah but no one is ever doing anything interesting, are they?

I’d put it in the same category as hearing about people’s dreams.

“Oh you were at home when Princess Diana died? Ok!”

Remember nothing about it excpet my dad rushed out and bought something like thirty newspapers as he thought they would be collector’s items in the future. Some months later the newspapers were donated to my school and our class made papier maché pigs out of them.

He only waited a few months for them to become valuable? I like his thinking!

she seemed to have the most boring personality going though, from any interview etc I’ve seen. Like everyone waxes lyrical about what a character she was and she was just massive posh wet fish

I thought the fact that Geoff could remember the minute details of an inconsequential football match from 20 years ago was quite interesting, but your mileage may vary.

remember we couldn’t get channel 5 until something like 2003 because they hadn’t set the antennas up for it in our area or something. was a massive let down when it finally came on, obviously.

I think there was another Shannon, too. I liked her better.

I’ve got the NME from when Kurt Cobain died. Worth a FORTUNE now I bet.

EDIT : 18 quid!!!

Fuck paying any more into my pension

Buying magazines/newspapers when someone dies because you cynically think it might be worth some money one day.

  • Yeah that’s ok
  • Tory as mate. Also you’re kidding yourself a bit. You’ve probably lost it anyway dickhead. Or maybe your mum binned it like she did your star wars figures which are probably also worth a FORTUNE.

You might be wondering why this has no likes.

Look up about 10 posts from yours. It’s not that it wasn’t funny, don’t beat yourself up.

Anyway yeah this whole Princess Di shit was absolutely mental. Just a load of idiots trying to out-grieve each other.

Bowie dying, for example, had more of an effect on me because he’s given my life a lot of joy and inspiration. I still didn’t grieve like an idiot, and I highly doubt there’ll be a massive fuss made 20 years on.
