I expect that is meant to be a humo(u)ous line, daylia   

Yeah. :-/   'Post-humo(uro)us' would be more accurate. I wasn't in the greatest of moods yesterday, sorry.

But in actuality rigor mortis would hardly be the correct term.

Right again! And especially since so little time was lost embalming her body after the crash. Hmmmm .... I wonder why ....

I think the press is being very nasty and I am glad Charles feels free to make snide remarks to the press. He shouldn't have to please anyone.

Well, no-one - least of all the royal, rich and famous I suppose - 'has to' please a single soul. But life, in particular married life, does tend to be more pleasant when we choose to do more than the bare minimum for one another.

Maybe the best way to make peace with the newlyweds is to ponder Diana's own words, as posted yesterday on another thread here:

"I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that."

Ditto. Forgive them, even if they did know exactly what they were doing.
