8MileBU Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Was 16 at the time, still stayed at home with my folks. Woke up to the sound of my dad stomping upstairs and announcing "Princess Di's deid!" to my mum in the next room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Fishing and lifting lobster pots off Troon, was up when the story began to break. Remember coming in early afternoon and the harbour was deserted and the few folk that were about kept asking if we knew as if we shouldn't be working. Strangely I can remember it was a great days fishing so that's what I remember it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all women become more shaggable upon death, or just sloany members of the aristocracy? Some corpses are just damn sexy though according to D.A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Has anyone else been singing "Dianna went to Paris just to have fun, she fought the wall and the wall won" since reading flybhoys story? It is quite catchy. Bit crass singing it just after her death, but I Fought the Law is a catchy tune. I was hungover in bed when I heard. Cancelling various football matches didn't endear her to me. Felt sorry for her kids. Saying that, I had always disliked the royals. They are just further proof of the fucking abomination of a nation we are. If we had any balls about us we'd have got the guillotine out. The French piss all over us as a nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I had been staying over at a mate's house in Oslo (lived in Norway at the time) and his dad at breakfast asked me 'you aren't a fan of Princess Diana are you?'I said 'I don't know who that is.''Good,' he replied 'because she's dead.'

Strangely I can remember it was a great days fishing so that's what I remember it for. In a sort of strange coincidence, I spent a fair part of the following Saturday (i.e. the funeral) off the south end of Arran as part of a search party looking for a fisherman who'd gone overboard while putting lobster pots down. Everybody seemed to agree that it was a far more productive activity than being forced to watch the TV that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely I can't remeber the funeral day at all presumably it was a normal working day for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Let's not forget the war. Did we win the war? Think we had a bit of help. The Sea probably helped us avoid France's fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Terrapin Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I woke up and turned the kitchen radio on which then was set to Radio 1(it wasn't completely crap those days) There were occasional news bulletins informing of the news however, all programmes were cancelled and they decided to put The Aloof's 'One Night Stand' on a continual loop which I thought was a bit strange given her rumoured propensity for that very thing. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
