And anyone else heading for Donegal - OMG PUMA!

Or jaguar. Or black leopard (or possibly [livejournal.com profile] tyrell, on holiday), stalking the hills of Donegal!

Beware! And please don't bring it to the party ;p

ION none really, quiet weekend, house is cleaner than it was, now just have to stock up on food and drink in advance of Visitors and PARTY!

Oh. I know what was annoying me. Have ignored the whole McCartney divorce thing, due to extreme lack of interest, but it was on the radio lots yesterday and one thing got to me - Yer wan Mills complaining that her, what, 4 year old? daughter ONLY got £35k. A year. Aside from the MILLIONS she got herself.
Oh waily waily. Most people would see that as a bloody good salary, even after mortgages, bills and all other living expenses. How much does a bloody FOUR year old need? Particularly when *both* parents are ridiculously rich? 'Oh I'll have to pay for her travel now' Well yes. Because she's FOUR. That's generally what parents DO. GNAH.

The picture was blurry but there was just something familar about it...

Yeah, that woman really bugs me now. 'Oh NOES! She'll only be able to afford to fly cattle class' However will the poor little dear cope with having an income above average before she even thinks about getting a job.

And shock horror that she might actually have to pay for her daughter's upbringing.

If only the judge would knock a million off her settlement for every entitlement-queen comment like that...

Yeah, except, since the settlement also includes the nanny's wages and school fees etc, she doesn't really have to pay for all that much. Out of the SEVERAL MILLION pounds she got.

Fair enough, she's been given a really rough ride by the media and all that, but talk about giving out rope to hang yourself! She was going on as well about how the costs of the divorce could have gone to charity... well, so could some of those millions! Off you go now.

I'm kind of curious how much of her winnings settlement will be going to charity. Or the £2.5m for buying a London home, as I'm sure I ready somewhere that she wanted to emmigrate once all this was over.

And what the hell was the point of throwing water over people at the end of it all? What next, she'll thkweam and thkweam and thkweam until she's thick?

Oh gods, we'll be buying Heat next and worrying about Posh's weight.

Oh I'm sure Lots of it LOTS AND LOTS of pounds. I think she also said somehing about not wanting to move followed by getting an injuction slapped on her if she did (which presuming they have joint custody doesn't seem that unfair really ;p)

The water throwing is just bizarre.

OH GOD why do I know this much about her? I think the RAGE at the 'only 35k' prompted me to go find out more... and I may have bought heat at the weekend. It was shit ;p

bah, love it is much better than heat. It has more maimings and marriages to odd things!

Hmm. I haven't come across Love it so far, will keep an eye out for that one! Heat is pretty crap really, Reveal and NOW! are much cheaper and haev all the same photos anyway ;p

I may have peeked at someone's copy before. It seemed to be filled with stuff about the people around the celebs. Such-andsuch's nanny goes out and gets drunk! (Shock horror!)

pay for her daughter's upbringing

OTOH, she's his daughter too & he's loaded.

Oh, I absolutely agree that he should contribute to her upbringing. But from what's appearing in the papers, it sounds like he is but she's being really rather arsey about it. (Oh, woes, she won't be able to afford to fly business class, etc.)

Hurrah for not reading the papers :-)

Well yeah, there is the advantage that you miss all of this tripe :P

heh yes, if I'd just stuck to playing cds yesterday instead of being putting the radio on, I'd be blissfully unaware of all of this and have nothing to get pointlessly worked up about!

From: [identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com
Well yes, I'm not disputing he should be paying her money - or even that he should pay lots of money - just that I just can't quite see why that much money for a small child is deemed 'not enough'.
What exactly does she have to spend it on?

I don't think either of them come out of this looking particularly well at all, but that just bugged me yesterday for some reason.

I'd love it if we had that much coming in! Seriously, ONLY 35k? What is the kid going to spend it on?

What did happen with the water? I missed the explanation!
