Heather Mills - yay or nay?

[downsouth]

That article was very funny but still misses the point. Leave her alone and she will go away.

And Linda Mc's voice?

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

[Jah Lush]

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.

[Nero]

But you can see my point in the irony of a red-top journo justifying his actions? It is delusion versus delusion. It's interesting, if nothing else. Nero

[Jah Lush]

I get your point perfectly Nero. I heard you the first time and you are correct in what you so say about the columnist.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Nay

i wish she would just hop off.

That's so cruel.

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.

[citizenED]

Heather who?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

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.

too lame

Yes darling?

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!

[SeanMacGabhann]

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

[Annasfield]

::o SeanMacGabhann ::o

(I feel like Dulwich Mum today ;-))

[SeanMacGabhann]

:-$

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.

[Keef]

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.

[*Bob*]

Music lecturers.. you've gotta love em.

They play you Standing Stone instead of Abbey Road. You want The Police but they give you Sting. It's just not right.

[Keef]

Exactly!

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.
