I nearly choked on my fantasy crab sandwich. This 'writer' is pretending he's OK and that it's OK to muck-rake on another human.

The fact that Lady Mills-Mac is a fantasist does not in any way justify haranguing her, and the Mirror journo is simply trying to do that. It's all very grubby. Nero

I hear you Nero but as he's a social commentator he's only doing what he's paid for and that is to write his point of view despite what the paper's agenda may or may not be. Also how can we leave her alone when it is she who seeks to be in the media to raise her profile for her various charities and whatnot. She's a deluded self-publicist. Be that as it may I still think she is a sociopath.

It seems she doesn't seem to understand that people dislike her intensely.


Her public persona comes from being married to a legend. That's all. Take him out off the equation, we no longer care.


She obviously wants to continue to have a public role, but she doesn't have a right to it, we don't owe her anything.

She wasn't really a publicity seeker before the divorce tho was she? I can't remember her popping up all ove the place, except for animal rights stuff occasionally, so it doesn't really make sense to say at a traumatic time in her life she would be seeking publicity.


I also can't stand Mr Mc, arrogant twat that he is, and do wonder how much his people are fuelling the hate campaign against her, in order to get a better deal in the divorce courts.


I'm slightly on her side, but none of us really know enough to to make an informed judgement on this.

I really struggle to understand why anyone would seriously 'hate' Paul Mc.


So what if he wrote 'The Frog Chorus', and he wears silly polo-necks, and he let Linda play tambourine in 'Wings' and there was that business will the bagpipes on Mull of Kintyre? So what? John got killed, Paul got old. Take the last few years of John's life (with Yoko Sodding Ono) and imagine another thirty years of that. Go on.. try it.. I feel queasy already. Bleugh!

Totally agree with you on the Lennon front, but as for why I don't like Macca..


It's not his music (tho I loathe much of it) - there is something about the way he carries his place in musicall history that irks me unduly. He's not so stupid as to be openly arrogant, but he's much worse than that


Plus, behind all the thumbs-aloft mateyness there is something of the night about him (apologies to Widdicombe for the steal)


Another one: His gigs are worse than Robbie Williams for their karaokeness

:-$


Sorry Annasfield - I know people likes him but.. well, let's just say I'm balanced and don't dislike 'Eaver just because I like Paul (tu)


As for the thought of being chastised by both you AND Dulwichmum... well....

In what way? From memory, the last thirty years from Paul have been commendably restrained and dignified, considering where he's come from.

At the core of the anti-Paul brigade's mind-set seems to be some bizarre notion that somehow he doesn't deserve it (his place in musical history, I mean). Personally I can't think of many people who are more deserving.


Paul aint cool. He never was. But I am a fan of the Beatles and for that, I give him his due.

No one can take away from The Beatles, but basically I go along with what Sean said. Lennon was the more annoying though, I'll give you that.


Paul's attempt to get all classical was hilarious. Standing Stone if I remember rightly. A music lecturer I had at uni when I was doing my hobby (Alan) made us listen to it... What a total load of absolute sh!t.

Heather Mills' situation reminds me of Sarah Ferguson's in the 80s and early 90s. So I was interested in Sarah Ferguson's recent comments; I think this is a direct quote but who knows:


"It's quite difficult when you're in it - when it's right in your face," the Duchess of York told The Associated Press on Thursday night. "But there's always a reason for it, so maybe you have to change something in yourself."


"It's give and take," she said. "... If you are on the public stage, it's your public stage. Otherwise, don't be on the public stage. That's what I really think. If you're on it, accept it, if you don't want to accept it, get off it."


It looks to me as if Fergie's advice is to shut up and keep a low profile. Seems like good advice to me and it worked for Fergie; she's never going to be on my Christmas card list but she's come a long way from the car crash she used to be. Also, her kids are showing all the signs of growing into two well behaved young women - that says a lot.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
