Hey Lee

I seem to recall last year you had a bet on the death of the queen mother. Have one this year?

This year I went for The Pope.. Bugger!



Bloody Queen Mum. That's the TV fucked for the next few days...

Oh, no I'm very interested in how she cleaned her teeth on the 12th of July 1954...

Amazing how everyone loved her suddenly isn't it?

I'm happy I don't live in England. When princess Diana died, even the finnish television was fucked for weeks...

Yeah, England was ridiculous at that time as you can imagine. People just lost it totally, grieving like it was one their own familiy that croaked, rather than some dim-witted coke-fiend.

There was one cool piece of television though.. A tourist stole a teddybear that someone had left outside Diana's house and got arrested. When he came out of court a TV crew stopped to ask him how he could do such a terrible thing. As the tourist was trying to tell his story this old guy came from out of the crowd and punched him right in the side of the head!

I love it when shit like that happens on live TV
