Earl Spencer

You mean like who is a bigger ****, him or the King?

Book sales need some meat on bone

A dish served cold, by sound of it.

I thought he was very good in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em .

I find it hard to believe anyone could be so thick as to insult a newly dead wife to her brother......... but we are talking about Tampax Boy

Probably true but Diana was a crackpot. She said herself she threw herself down a staircase when she was pregnant.

That's proper if you don't do what I want I'll kill myself and the unborn baby levels of coercive and controlling behaviour.

Both men are a pair of thoroughly unpleasant philanderers.

He's changed a lot since the 70s. He was hilarious when he used to say ooh betty the cat's done a whoopsy on the carpet.

I suspect he is telling the truth but some things are better left unsaid.

Saddo spot on IMO

Funnily enough Ron, Frank only said "ooh betty" in one episode apparently

Classic. He was very impressive doing all of his own stunts. In one episode he was dangling from the bumper of a Morris Minor hanging over the edge of a cliff hundreds of feet up in the air.

What does earl relate to ? I can see the point of titles king, queen, prince, princess but earl ? What is that about ?

Historically, earls were high-ranking royal officers or military governors who presided over shire courts and collected taxes for the crown. Today, the title is primarily ceremonial and hereditary, with no official political power.

Thanks for info, are there many of these lads cutting about ?

324, but some are held by people with higher titles and are 'hidden'. 189 are used.

Earl Spencer is one of the true Englishmen that helped made this country great,most are spineless scam merchants,he’s just recording history as he saw it,before he dies.

He was great at the funeral and honest now,he’s not just selling a book.

We all know King Charles isn’t the best,but he’s still our king,but it’s great to be honest and record history correctly.

How the heck do you come to that conclusion cuth ?

Private boarding school, then Eton educated. Inherited the title of Earl and the Althorp estate, currently on his 4th wife having had SEVEN children by the first three (i've known African tribal leaders with a smaller charge sheet than that ). Pretty much disowned by his eldest daughters due to a years long affair he had whilst married to wife number one (their mother).

He'd be better suited to the cast of Shameless than your description

having seven kids after divorcing isnt a crime. nor is your schooling

philandering aint a crime either and if its something shameful i know quite a few who are shamed. its bollox

if everyone suffered a similar level of scrutiny i suspect they would not look too clever either. if every aspect of your life was under the microscope nobody would look good. i doubt many would come up smelling of roses. its life

i dont givash1t about charlie or any of them but its faux moral outrage driven by resentment and loathing

I never said it was a crime BF ?  I don't give a monkey's about how he lives his life either.

I was just questioning cuth's claim that Earl Spencer had helped make this country great .  How exactly ? What makes him any different to many others ?

you could have mentioned his spectacular lack of influence on this countries 'greatness' by adressing his personal qualities, noble acts, love for his children, or selfess devotion to charitable works

or the lack of them. and deplore him for that

but you mentined his school, wives, and KIDS

he had an affair!! by jove. hang him. ive had an affair and so would you if you werent so dull

irrelevant tripe and entirely predictable

you mock poshos because its a reflex option that many fall into unthinkingly.  'ordinary' people have the same but its frequently accompanied by nastiness and violence

Blimey BF, for a start you have no idea about my life so don't prejudge me like that (as you'd be surprised if i ever elaborated).
I said i didn't care what he had got up to in his private life.

You do seem to often misinterpret others posts. My original reply to cuth was obviously light hearted and was questioning how Spencer embodied "great"  old England.

Neither you or cuth have yet explained to me what he has done to deserve that accolade.

There is possibly no bigger waste of your time than discussing
owt with an alcohol fuelled Know-it-all.

Yes that is probably true saddo.

I think BF would probably argue against himself if nobody else was commenting

He often seems to disagree with people who are essentially backing up his points or who are at least on his side of the argument. Very strange

better than being a know-nothing sadcake

youve got the hump because i ridicule your conspiracy mugginess. if im wrong say so and why. you dont and wont

wrong dix. i misinterpret nothing. i did not mention the foolonthehill or his barmpot assertion because hes a nutcase. do not put me in with him

and i have no care about this spencer person. i know no more about him than what i have seen on this forum. i consume very little media and have zero interest in the personal life of anyone, including you. it was a bit of a leg pull, btw.

i expose humbug dishonesty ignorance stupidity intolerance whenever i see it

the lunatic lefitst liars get away with too much because of the ineptitude of those who dont argue back properly. facts are available they but are too invested in conspiracy bollox

You're like most drunks, experts on everything, in reality they are just loud bores.

have a go at what i say

saying that is just daft and a sign of your lack of originality and limited knowledge

what if i wasnt, what would you say? and im not, its a handy excuse for you to dismiss that what you cant argue against

one used by leftist liars who cant come up with any argument

a good reason for you to stop doing it

you are not a natural enemy. stop being one and broaden your horizon

Ooh Betty!
