I can go along with this, not that it's encouraging (or applies much to me):

"The strongest lesson to emerge from the McCartney/Mills divorce is probably the one repeatedly stressed by lawyers who handle big-money divorces: try to marry someone roughly as rich as you are...."

My God Paul looks ancient in that last pic. But happy. Good for him that it's finally over. They called her the most hated woman in Britain on the news today. That's hysterical. She really does come off bad. She makes Yoko look like Mother Theresa.

Rats, that leaves me out. And here I was all prepared to be the next ex.

Well i just spent 2 hours reading through the full 58 page High Court ruling of Paul's divorce and i must say it's a fascinating read  , so much more information than i thought he would allow into the public arena , it's a goldmine of facts .
I downloaded it from Sky news , it can only be read by Adobe Reader 8 , so i don't know how to get it up on here ?
I will e-mail it to BlueMeanie he will know how to get it up on the forum for you all to see.
What an absolute nightmare Heather was , there's loads to discuss .

Man the BBC are loving putting this out. You don't take on someone who has been dealing with the press for years in such a way. Weaved her own web or made her own bed...It's funny that she thinks she was worth so much before meeting McCartney.
Anyways, you guys are gonna rip it apart better than I will so I'll just read & enjoy.

From the BBC:

The judge added that her tax returns "disclose no charitable giving at all", despite Mills saying she gave "as much as 80% or 90% of her earnings ... direct to charities".

Commenting on that claims, Ms Mills said it was because her accountant "hadn't ticked the tax return box".

You know me so well.

It's the accountant's fault! That shoddy accountant. Poor Ms Mills, never figuring out that her excessive tax bill was because the 90% deduction from her income went unnoticed.


And I'm sure you've seen this, but here's the sidebar. Again, Mills appears very calm and balanced:

Quoted Text
Mills soaked McCartney's lawyer  

Sir Paul's lawyer Fiona Shackleton left court with wet hair (right)
Heather Mills poured a jug of water over the head of Sir Paul McCartney's lawyer Fiona Shackleton at the end of their divorce case, she has admitted.
Ms Shackleton was seen leaving the High Court in London with wet hair after the hearing on Monday.

Ms Mills told the BBC she approached Ms Shackleton and said: "I'm not a loser."

She then "poured the whole jug of water on her head", she said. "I was very calm," she added.

If I were her, I'd spend some of that 600,000p a year on a better accountant.

Thanks Dvae, but it's about 38 pages, so I'm not posting that!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

That's ok Paul , Geoff as the BBC Entertainment link you can read the full judgement on that
It's a bit legal but if i can understand the gist of it anyone can .
I love the bit where Paul acknowledges Heather's suggestion of an  " Acrylic Finger-nail " to help him play guitar , it was a brilliant idea he says  lol
Fiona Mills was Heather's personal trainer and she charged Paul   345,000 for that
