Diana and Dodi and his fiancee Kelly Fisher

As the inquest into the deaths of Diana and Dodi drags on the one really relevant person has finally made an appearance yet she is being claimed as a ‘surprise’ witness by the media.

Model Kelly Fisher, if you remember as I do, was engaged to Dodi Al Fayed in early August of 1997. Until he latched onto Diana of course. I well remember Ms Fisher speaking out to the media during early August that year about how Dodi had ditched her in favour of being with Diana. Well, Dodi was only doing what his father was telling him to do… and that was get Diana!.

Ms Fisher is no ‘surprise’ witness at all. She is proof that Dodi Al Fayed dropped everything he was doing once Diana came into view, even dumping his fiancee to attempt to snare the Princess on his ‘daddy’s’ orders. 

This inquest is a farce. The simple truth is that Dodi and Diana would be alive today, NOT married, but alive if only Mr Al Fayed Snr had minded his own business and stayed out of his son’s life. He saw Diana as the ultimate prize for not only his son, but for himself. And he lost on both counts.

Kate and Gerry McCann – I think the public have had enough of them

The disappearance case of British child Madeline McCann has now become a pathetic circus show for only the most dedicated of voyeurs. Everyday now we hear from another new ‘witness’ who has new claims to make, all of them telling the public how innocent Kate and Gerry McCann are. I think we have gotten the message. So. Enough!.

It seems the focus is now on proving this couple’s innocence with regards to their daughter’s disappearance. Maybe they did not arrange to have her stolen; maybe they did not kill her and hide her body. But one thing is sure; they ARE guilty of having left her unprotected and unsupervised.  All three of their children in fact. They left the three of them open and vulnerable and eventually some piece of scum took advantage of their carelessness.

The public have lost patience with the McCanns and with the group of ‘friends’ that they had such a great time with that night whilst Madeline and her siblings slept alone and unprotected across the road. We are fed up with all the latest ‘claims’ by witnesses, the secrecy being maintained by the group of drinkers known as the ‘Tapas Nine’, and by the never ending sightings by publicity seeking members of the public who were too stupid, and too self conscious, to take a proper look at the child they assumed was Madeline before running to the media with their claims.

I think the public have heard enough from the McCanns and from their useless party cohorts of that night. None of this has found the child, it appears no-one saw anything that was worth reporting. I am surprised that any of them can even recall what day it was back then.

Finding the 13th root – Voila!

Are you a whizz at mathematics?.  How about this; you have to work out the answer to a mathematical problem and the correct answer is: 2, 407, 899, 893, o32, 210…whatever the question is it just has to be a whopper. And not only that, but you have to work it out without the help of a calculator, a mechanical one that is, you have to use the ‘calculator’ that god gave you.

A Frenchman, Alexis Lemaire, had to work out the 13th root of a computer generated 200-digit number; to make it even easier it had a possibility of 393 TRILLION answers. Whilst many of us, myself included at times, still use the ten finger abacus to add up, this guy didn’t even need a paper and pencil. He used his brain and would you believe he solved the problem in 70.2 seconds later!. I wouldn’t have solved it 70 YEARS later!.

Those of us who use a crossword to stretch the brain matter and keep it active might be interested to know that guys like Mr Lemaire exercise their brains by working out problems using the 13th root. Highly impressive. But I don’t think I’ll bother challenging him to a duel just yet. Obviously I don’t have enough fingers or toes…
