Issue 94 “永无止境”的离婚大战
Now the divorce battle between Sir Paul McCartney and his estranged 1 wife Heather Mills is set to drag on to next week. It had been scheduled to end today, but the pair haven't been able to reach an agreement over how much of his 825 million pounds she's entitled to.
The case has been going on all week behind closed doors, giving the waiting media rather too long to think about what might be going on.
The headline writers have had a field day all week and on the basis of if you can't beat them, then join them. Our reporter John Sparks has been at the high court with the Beatles back catalogue.
(The long and winding 2 road that leads to your door, will never disappear…)
It does seem like a long journey and it's not over, there is little hope now over an agreed settlement, we has become me, love turned to stone.
Court room 34 with its black tiled windows and "do not disturb" sign has been booked up for next week. It's up to the judge now to divide up the spoils and end the affair.
(I once had a girl or should I say she once had me. She showed me her room…)
Sir Paul met Heather at a charity event that was 1 year after his first wife Linda had passed away. She said I was slowly wooed and properly dated, he told his family not to worry about him. Commentators 3 winced 4 and whispered: disaster.
(Oh! Darling, please believe me, I'll never do you no harm. Believe me when I tell you...)
4 years and 1 daughter later, news of their separation was leaked to the papers, Lurid 5 tales of bad behavior soon followed.
(You never give me your money. You only give me your funny paper and in the middle of negotiations 6 you break down…)
Representing the former Beatle, Fiona Shackleton, AKA the steel magnolia, Ms. Shackleton, attestment to those who bloomed later in life for a 3rd class degree now long forgotten, and Ms Mills, the teenage runaway 7 and model and prickly social activist 8, and she's representing herself of course.
(I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink 9. I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink. I wonder…)
For all the arguments over assets, the squabbling over a security and confidentiality 10, will both be poor when the judge breaks them up.
