RIPs

[Goaty]

Bob Geldof: "Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. 'Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. 'What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? 'How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is."
Beautiful and so heartbreaking statement.

No age at all. My eldest is the same age.

My eldest is a mother of two aged 25. Not saying that makes us feel more for the situation, just putting it in context as Tips did.

Pretty horrendous for Bob and his family.

[Richmond Clements]

Was thinking something similar, BK - I cannot get my head around even imagining losing one of my boys.

[Ghost MacRoth]

RIP Mickey Rooney, a far greater loss than some daft lass who likely chucked her privileged life down the toilet.

RIP Mickey Rooney ...

There are many more parallels than differences between the two sad wastes of lives to addiction and self loathing, neebs.

[Jim_Campbell]

Stay classy, Ghost.

And by "classy" I mean: act like a colossal cunt who thinks he gets to decide whose life has greater value.

Arsehole.

[Ghost MacRoth]

Yeah, right back atcha fucknugget.

[Frank]

Probably not the thread for this.

[Richmond Clements]

Probably not the thread for this.

Agreed. Glee at the death of a 25 year old mother has no place here.

[ZenArcade]

Read about the wee girl this evening. A young family with no mother...terribly sad. I guess this happens all of the time, cruel world. Z

[Ghost MacRoth]

Agreed. Glee at the death of a 25 year old mother has no place here.

Glee??  Where the hell you getting that, mm?  I simply don't CARE.  There's a difference.

...some daft lass who likely chucked her privileged life down the toilet.

Yeah, parents divorced at 7, stepfather dead by suicide when she was 8, mother O.D'd when she was 11, growing up in the tabloids, must have been just the perfect childhood.  May none of my kids ever enjoy that kind of privlege.

[JamesC]

They've got camera men outside the Geldof household beaming live pictures of the comings and goings. I wish they'd leave people alone.

[Frank]

The test of whether any of the comments on this thread are reasonable or not is whether you could say the same things regarding the death of a young mum in a council flat without sounding unfeeling.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

I simply don't CARE.

Then why even say it at all? Clearly people here with kids that age are feeling the Geldof's loss and you wade in with a comment like that. Mate you deserve a Campbell drubbing and a Tordelback takedown and I don't say that lightly.
