Anybody see this yesterday?

There's so much wrong with that article

It amazes me that people like that exist.

(Unfortunately named) Binkie has become a bit of an internet sensation with her own Twitter parody already (which is really very funny)...

The Telegraph had to disable public comments from the article

Wow. Sounds like a great life. Hope they don't call their son 'Drew'.

'Chav'anage - fabulous

I have to say, I was surprised at their choice of venue!

She must be really good in the sack, I can't see why anyone would want to marry her.

[Deleted User] · 24/02/11 - 17:21

but what they don't tell you is she shagged both the princes!

Very true, but... to be fair, if they'd called her Rose it would have been more unfortunate.

Looks like we can't see it today, I get a 'sorry we can't find the page' page.

Well the article was pulled before I could get there, and I can't find it in the google cache, but there is an another article about it here.

"her first column mysteriously disappeared from the web after what can be described as a 'broadly negative' reception."

Yeah, I found that one too- and it has a link to the Max Gogarty thing! That was amazing.

A guy I used to know was one of the people moderating the Guardian site at the time of that... he said it broke his heart having to get rid of some of the genuinely funny, but also very offensive, comments...

Hehe... even the GUARDIAN board went to town on him!

Totally coincimental."

It's the likes of Binkie and Max that make me think that Al Qaeda may have a point.

I felt sorry for Max, who was just a very young man who misjudged the public mood. I can't find any sympathy for the witterings of Binkie though. Good lord. Here is the unexpurgated Binkie for those with a sickbag handy:

Really?

"Anyway, I've had to get malaria tablets, purchase travellers' cheques, sort out travel insurance, try and find a universal bloomin' plug, buy a backpack, get iodine drops (whatever they are) and enjoy dozens of injections off a nurse who was grumpy and trying to get me to pay a hundred quid to minimise the after-effects of being bitten by a monkey. I still fancied her though. She was a nurse."

REALLY???

Yes, terrible.

But most of us write terrible stuff when we are teenagers. Most of us don't have parents who arrange for the Guardian to publish it. If my teenage diaries had been published I would have died of shame by the time I was 21.

My home has always been my sanctuary, a place of exquisite beauty and calm. I read or sit undisturbed on our leather sofa in our family room with its off-white walls, stainless steel and sage-green stone surfaces, and gaze through its wall of sliding glass doors onto our fragrant cream and lavender garden with its climbing roses, ancient apple and pear trees, camellias and jasmine.

No use...already nauseous...

Since then I've been in an emotional cyclone. I already had a brilliant trauma specialist therapist.

Why? Because you are a hysterical, attention seeking nutjob?

The insurance companies have taken a recent slating, but he was sensitive and honourable. He said we could stay in a hotel. Adrian explained that there is only one hotel in London: Claridge's. Simon did not demur. And he loved what's left of our specialist-polished plaster walls.

How very bizarre. When my own house was totally destroyed by fire we were not housed in Claridges. If only I had known that it is the only hotel in London.

We're not in a tent in Pakistan or even Brent council's temporary accomodation. In fact, we're staying with close friends. Thankfully Christmas isn't such a disaster – we already had plans to go away.

Well that's a relief.

Hey there!
