Well Paul McCartney’s ex Heather Mills has come away from the marriage a lot more financially padded than she was going into it.  Despite his best efforts to protect his fortune from his ex wife and mother of his youngest child, the courts have ruled that he is going to be getting a lot less interest on his capital than he’d of liked next year!   Whether Heather Mills was in it for money to pay for her cosmetic surgery, or whether she was to blame for the break-up of the marriage (supposing one person in a couple could ever be completely blameless for the divorce situation arising), she’s certainly had to pay emotionally for not accepting her ex husband’s paltry initial settlement offer.

At approximately £24 million in money and assets, that's the most sucsessful treasure hunt result we've seen in a while. The settlement seems a good investment return for the 4 years that Ms Mills was with McCartney, however what kind of signal is this sending out to the rest of society?  To someone believed to be worth around £400 million, £24 million is mere drop in the ocean.   Does this now imply that if a man is worth £400,000, his ex wife is only to be granted £24,000 of this?  Yes Paul McCartney made the money, and yes he works at keeping it, but he also married this woman and had a child with her.  This marriage has cost him a lot less financially than it should have done – however it’s knocked the halo off his head.  Macka is no longer squeaky clean, his actions and words surrounding this entire affair have shown a lack of respect not only for the woman he must have at one time thought he loved, but also to his child.  I may not have his fortune, but I know that I’d be willing to give up every penny I had to ensure that my child was not going to be subjected to the lifetime of media reminders his daughter will have following her parents’ behaviour during these proceedings – but then it’s just money and when it doesn’t play such an important role in your life perhaps it’s easier to have a better sense of priorities.  For those of us not benefiting from the settlement, let’s hope that the media can also find some priorities and educate us about issues that are more global than what is basically nothing more than a usual marriage break-up.

Well I watch the first in the new serier of House yesterday. Yes I recorded it. I’m not really sure what to think. I love House I think it’s one of the best things on telly at the moment. Even to the extent that I will stay in on a evening to watch it. Yes I’m that obsessed.

But this was a little bit of a appointment. It was just a eposido of House, not the mind bending crazy, better than sliced toast Episode that they had made it out to be on the trailers. Hugh Lawier was fantasic as usual, but it wasn’t world ending. So this next better be good or ill, well do nothing or maybe right another scaving blog post.

After hearing all of this business regarding the credit crunch, we have begun to take a lot of the work that would normally go to external sources and now begin finishing these in-house. I suppose you could call this a false economy but mine is not to reason why. What it boils down to is that I’m going to have to start again, and remake the skin tag removal and drink machine sections without the aid from someone who knows the programming language! Curses! As if things weren’t bad enough, I had to arrange a new booking for my laser tattoo removal clinic treatment. Usually, there aren’t any complications booking the day off.

Well having had his time in court, and then being reported in The Sun newspaper for having a different version of events, Paul Burrell, former butler of Princess Diana, is now requested by the inquest into Diana’s death to return to the stand – and he’s refusing.  Currently outside the long arm of the justice department he can continue to refuse but one has to wonder why.  Paul Burrell was someone I thought had integrity, a person who would do all that he could to protect Diana’s name and make sure that this inquest did right by her.  I’m no longer sure about that.  Now that he's got his new uk home with the proceeds, it really looks as though the celebrity status to which his former employment raised him has made him turn his back on the person whose death created his celebrity – the late Princess of Wales. 

I’m not sure why he wasn’t able to just stand up at the inquest and recount events as they really happened.  If there was some foul play which resulted in the premature death (intended or otherwise) of Diana, it’s only going to be flushed out if people who know anything come forward and speak the truth.  Diana’s memory deserves better than Paul Burrell’s mismatched statements – at the moment his actions play more against the person he’s supposed to have cared so deeply about.  This saddens me.  I don’t expect the blue bloods to break rank, but I did expect that those who really cared for Diana and who aren’t shackled by generations of heritage and titles to speak the truth.  Perhaps I expected too much.
