Wow! She passed without a bill
I'm chuffed to bits - that's really brill
The Service will be the next to pay
And that will be on next Wednesday
Plus maybe fix that damaged grill

But none of that comes just yet
And so I am not yet in debt

Warm here now. Plenty warm enough for frightening any local wildlife with my naked legs

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 10:47:17 AMI'd pay a lot if somebody proved there is one that listens and acts on what is requested. Till then I'll opt out and hope I get the time for a deathbed conversion to Catholicism when a last ditch confession cleans up all my previous sins. I may need quite a bit of time though.

I rather like the Norse Gods and their religion, when you die, preferably in battle you go to Valhalla, a bit different from Paradise, no clouds, no harps or white robes. It's a huge log cabin with a roaring fire in the middle where you meet up with all your mates from times past. You get to eat lots of meat so vegans really dip out, and drink lots of mead served by buxom flaxen haired wenches who are very amenable  to your advances. Entertainment is basically lots of fighting with your mates, you can't kill them because they already dead, and you get to do the same thing  every day , eating drinking, wenching, fighting. Sounds a bit like pub I used to go to back in the day

Think you should have started a few years ago to fit it all in 😬😬

Just been reading up on him on Wiki ...

In his memoir [color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)]A Very Private School[/url][/font][/size][/color], published in March 2024, Spencer described the violent beatings, sexual abuse, "culture of cruelty", "hopelessness and abandonment", and the absence of affection he experienced at Maidwell Hall, one of England's most prestigious boarding schools.[color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)][6][/font][/size][/color]


Seems as though he's ageing ungracefully.  
Wasn't there a spate of autobiographies about 15 years ago of celebs describing their abusive upbringing.  Thought they'd gone out of vogue.  Seems that some of the Spencer hereditary line think there's still some mileage in it.

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 11:47:11 AMIMO, If Harry has any sense he'll keep out of it, and say nothing.
I think it would be better still if all the Royals kept their mouth shut and then perhaps Earl Spencer will not get the publicity  (and money)  he seems to be aching for.

If he has so many grudges against the Royals,  he should have sorted it out with them years ago.   No need for a book on it.

Quote from: muddy on September 19, 2026, 11:20:08 PMHe has to write it now if he wants to make money.
When Charles dies it will be too late. He will only hurt his nephew William .
My thoughts too.. Nobody would want to read a book of nasty things written about someone who has died..
  Spencer is getting in there before it is too late..
