Wow, everyone in Holland is blurred. I never knew that.

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Apr 30, 2009 13:06

2 dead now, apparently.

It's like Princess Diana all over again. Except this time nobody has heard of the woman in question.

This is true. In Holland, people randomly gather in crowds to watch strangers pass by on an open topped bus.

So the car was already smashed? It seems this is a regular past time for the driver

"The car appeared heavily damaged even before the crash, but the reason for that was unclear." says CNN.

Bizzare.

Was the car covered in Pig Flu?

the car was damaged, because it drove through two barriers (and lots of people) before it got near the bus, then crashed.

Should have borrowed one of Grim...'s Jeeps.

5 dead, and the driver as well. Apparently, he was having a go at the Royals.

How very, very strange.

If we all club together with £2 each do you think we can pay him to do it here too? And lend him Grim...'s Land Rover, obviously.

No, we can't. he's dead, you dolt.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Is he? Poor show. I would have thought some form of medal would be in order.

Aye, you thought they might have mentioned in near the top of the article. or made it the headline or something.

Again with the assuming I read anything.

quite a big fuss over this over her, as expected.... queen's day was always such an innocent party, and cheerful, see if they don't ruin it with security now

Well hopefully they'll be able to keep some perspective, it was seemingly just one nutter with no agenda but his own.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

One man's nutter with no agenda but his own is another man's freedom fighter, of course.

kalmar · **Posted:** Fri May 01, 2009 14:22

From the article it doesn't even seem like he had an agenda of his own, just went menkle one day, decided to flounce out and make as much trouble as possible on the way.

Enough about splinter forums already, I want to hear about the crazy Dutch driver.

What? .... Oh.

We're so jaded, even attempted regicide no longer registers as "interesting".

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49252

You'd think if it was a serious attempted regicide, he might have made a little more effort to actually aim at the vehicle the Queen was in. Rather than, y'know, the crowd.

Also, ickle car + big fucking bus rarely results in the car winning.

Also maybe a bigger, tougher car than a little hatchback (What was it, a suzuki swift or something?), possibly with DANGER inside it.

Was a Polo, not a golf.

The police report says the cause of death was "failing to pass the Dutchies on the left hand side".
