RIP February

I’m not Spartacus

I’m torn.

Great films, but if you believe the long running allegations that he raped Natalie Wood when she was 16 then you wonder whether he would have reached 103 with a spell in prison.

Allegations, and unproven, but having listened (with Askew) to someone who claimed she and her brother were raped by Burt Lancaster it is a very similar story. For what it’s worth I believed her, or at the very least believed that she believed it had happened.

I think because lots happened during that era that would be heard, and a verdict given on, nowadays, but then went uninvestigated it leaves doubt when you hear allegations, and also leaves a feeling that if it didn’t happen then people like him should have had the chance to be vindicated at the time.

I’m torn.

 

Never heard that rumour about Natalie and Kirk.

 

Not male anyway
Is Olivia de haviland still going? I’ve not googled

 

Just checked, yes she is still kicking. Honestly thought she had passed.

 

Interesting. First I’ve heard of it. Big fan of Natalie Wood too. Will have to do a bit of research.

 

Rip?

 

You have now

 

Maybe post it on another thread hedda hopper

Mark Rees, ex-Hull Truck. City fan and a thoroughly nice bloke. Gone too early.

 

Nice to see nearly £2500 raised so far, let's hope it can get to the £5000 target.

 

Lyle Mays, keyboard player and composer with Pat Metheny, age 66. RIP.

 

Caroline Flack. RIP

 

Found guilty and hounded to death by the Twitterati, what a tragic waste.

 

Couldn’t agree more.
RIP

 

Truly truly tragic .. no age and taking her own life .. depression really is the silent killer .. RIP

 

Very

Very sad, and so young. RIP Caroline

 

Not just social media, the usual **** tabloids were all over her as well.

I hate people. People ****ing suck.

 

I didn't know Caroline, but I knew her best mate and it's her, her mum and Caroline's family that I feel for right now. **** in her past led to some awful life decisions and problems with alcohol and depression, but I'm genuinely shocked that it came to this. I can only hope that people will think twice before grabbing their pitchforks on social media, although we all know it's the hope that kills you.

The internet is a wonderful tool and it gives us access to a wealth of information but it also gives the world access to you, and it would seem that in this instance it was overwhelming. Suicide is an option for everybody but you're hurting those you love more than you could ever hurt yourself. Life might not get better but I assure you, your perspective of it will. Talk to somebody, anybody, and please consider the odds of your existence. You're lucky you have the opportunity to experience life and you won't get a second shot. Do your best to die as old as possible, you're affecting other people in ways that are incomprehensible just by continuing to be alive.

I believe something good can come from something so ****.

RIP.
