You can ask why, but they cannot tell you as unfortunately they are both dead

[sara3]

fun, perhaps?

[Prudie]

Gay bars are fun and everyone should try it. She had to be in disguise, I don't really see why it should be an issue.

[ummmm]

//"When we walked in... we felt she was obviously Princess Diana and would be discovered at any minute. But people just seemed to blank her. She sort of disappeared. But she loved it,"//

Thats a why.

[Barmaid]

Why not?

[anneasquith]

why not. fun is fun .

Freddie Mercury 'smuggled Princess Diana into gay bar disguised as a man'


And why not?
Lol, I soooo hope she was sporting a look-a-likey Freddie tash.

[Gromit]

Why did she need a disguise?

Are you suggesting the late Princess Diana looked like a tranny?

[woofgang]

so one ditzy person tells a story about three people who can neither confirm or deny and we believe it?

For a fun night out.

Why not?

When Madonna was interviewed on Graham Norton last year, he asked her when was the last time she was out in public and not recognised. She said that when she and her family went skiing, with her full face protector on, no-one recognised her, and she could just have fun with her family.

I think that sometimes the famous like to be incognito.

Then why particularly a Gay Bar, you are not saying that Gays are some kind of curiosity I hope?

[Old_Geezer]

Listened to too much Electric Six ?

Nope. People go to Irish bars, not to gawp at Irish people, but for the craic. Likewise, straight people go to gay bars for the fun and atmosphere. Manchester's Gay bar area is frequented by many straight people and adds £30 million to the local economy.

Yes, and Elvis is alive and driving a double-decker bus on the backside of the moon.

Is that a serious question?

Are you asking why a gay man chose a gay bar to take a female friend for a night out?

What in that is difficult to understand?

Please tell me you understand that gay men, when they go out clubbing, they will most likely got to a ga...

...you know what...it's just too obvious to explain really, isn't it.

[Kromovaracun]

I don't care about Princess Diana or what she got up to for fun.

[sandyRoe]

Wouldn't her police bodyguard have looked out of place or would he have been disguised too?

[pastafreak]

@sandy...maybe she'd shimmied down the drainpipe and no one knew she was gone.

I'm glad she had fun.

[Peter Pedant]

and you would be very welcome in any Gay bar in Manchester.

The Publicans, not surprisingly, are out to make a profit and
will do so if you have a good time.

The ATMs (cash machines) on the street (Falkner and Portland) are trickier bbut you know you need money to go to these places.

In more up market publications - the F T springs to mind - David Tang has a bit where his wife is given a handbag by Princess Di and Prince Harry (for it is he) says: " Mummy why do you always give away handbags you are given and how many more do you have ? "

Laughter and blushes
