Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Probably, many thought it the family were entitled to their “privacy” and did not consider it necessary to satisfy the prurient and salacious nature of some, who seem to wish to salivate over the personal details of the lives of others, when those lives appear to be less fortunate than their own.

Poor lady. I feel very sorry to see loss of life due to external factors.

the press blamed the DJs which it was not the family NEW she was not
of good health but still live miles from them
so much for a loving family.
who could not turn to them for help .
she tried 3 times .
not a happy person and some one who did not want her life .
she was unhappy .
those DJs should now get a sorry from the press and all that blamed them

what about those children who were in care in N/W and all as gone very
quite about that .

it is also personal if some one wants to take there life .
but to blame some one for taking it is evil

are her FAMILY GOING TO HAND BACK THE MONEY FROM AUS

TANK - You do talk some shite, DJ's not to blame, how the fxxx do you know, may have been the straw that broke the camels back, have some compassion and let the poor woman rest in peace, youre like an old woman the way you witter on. Happy Xmas you old fart! :O)

Tank,
Stupid idea to hand back the money.

They should use the money for the children. They have no future otherwise.

The British nurse who killed herself after transferring a hoax call from Australian radio personalities to Kate Middleton’s hospital room earlier this month reportedly had attempted suicide twice before.

Jacintha Saldanha, 46, who was found hanging by a scarf three days after the prank, attempted to overdose on pills during a family visit to India last winter, according to Indian newspapers quoted by the UK’s Daily Mail.

Nine days later, the reports said, she attempted to jump from a building and was admitted to a psych ward.

The family of Saldanha, who was prescribed anti-depressants after the failed attempts, has demanded answers from the radio station and her employer, King Edward VII’s Hospital in London.

She MGHT have had other problems, but those issues should be used to accept the action by Australian TV, or encourage other media to to the same.

The money is for the future of children and the media should not encourage returning back. IMO

thats like saying a bank robber who got shot the family should keep the money
I THINK NOT
she was ill and should of been at home not living in a bedsit miles from a so called loving family
and then to blame others is evil it was the family that let her down
and that is there now for all to see
she was on drugs to help her well when taking drugs you are not always safe and should be by people who will help
not miles way .

who did they blame for the first two attempts to kill herself .
when on ante depressants hundreds kill themselves that is fact
so why did she want to kill her self on the first two attempts answer that question
now going to the pub
have a good new year

Without the phone call she would be alive, so the TV station played a part in the death.

the family is not here to defend themselves. The subside story might have been made up by the media to support each other, that's my suspicion as well!!!

Merry Christams! :-)

ahoj - i can't be bothered to wade through the garbage that has been posted on this subject ...... however, it does look to me that the lady in question was extremely unstable, so her suicide was merely a case of "how soon" and the phone call (i have no idea of its content) was almost incidental

Ahoj,

post 19731

"Without the phone call she would be alive"

That is an assumption.

What triggers somebody to carry out an action is not necessarily "immediate", but is based upon "all" previous "experiences", however "big" or "small" those incidents appear to others is not "necessarily" relevant to the person who carries out the "action".

Nobody, drives somebody else to an action, there are always alternate choices of actions.

That does not mean that a "person's" constructs can't be modified, or that "poorer" choices can't be avoided.

If I and/or many others had been "hoaxed", we would probably annoyed at ourselves and defused the "anger" by "laughing" at ourselves, or taking a more generous view of our failings.

But it would be very difficult to avoid the sensitivity of every-body.

I feel sorry for the Australians and the nurse's family and think that many pontificating could review their own clumsinesses.

Sad.

Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson has died at the age of 83.

His son Jamie said he died peacefully in his sleep at midday on Boxing Day, having suffered with mixed dementia for the past few years.

Anderson also created Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Joe 90 and Space:1999.

Nick Williams, the chairman of Fanderson - a Gerry Anderson appreciation society - said: "To those who met him Gerry was a quiet, unassuming but determined man.

"His desire to make the best films he could drove him and his talented teams to innovate, take risks, and do everything necessary to produce quite inspirational works.

"Gerry's legacy is that he inspired so many people and continues to bring so much joy to so many millions of people around the world."

Anderson was diagnosed with mixed dementia two years ago and his condition worsened over the past six months.

Having already decided with his family on a care home for himself earlier this year, he moved in there in October.

Until recently Anderson remained interested and involved in the film industry, keen to re-visit some of his earlier successes using the latest technology available.

His last producer credit came in 2005 on New Captain Scarlet, a CGI-animated re-imagining of his 1967 Supermarionation series, which premiered on ITV in the UK.

Most recently he worked as a consultant on a Hollywood remake of his 1969 series UFO, directed by Matthew Gratzner.

He also worked as a celebrity ambassador for The Alzheimer's Society, helping to raise awareness of the disease and funds for the society.

Anderson leaves three children from former marriages, Joy, Linda and Gerry Junior, his son Jamie and widow Mary.

Fanderson is planning to pay a full tribute to him at the FAB 74 event next March.

Just for Dreams.

Your favourite leader.


Is he running after Rebecca or from the Fox and Hounds.

Ugggh!

Fred, DC looks more in trim then Mr Balls. lol Never going to be popular having to sort out the Labour inheritance, sorry wrong word I mean mess. :-))

Seeing as different views on the subject are being aired on here, i completely agree with Tanker. It is dangerous to assume that the phonecall that she (merely) took from the radio station was any cause whatsoever. Was it rational behaviour? Of course not, it may well have been the 'straw that broke the camels back' however, we do not know that and to ruin others lives in light of this is jumping on the bandwagon somewhat.

You have to be in a pretty bad state to take your own life and one wonders how this wasn't noticed by fellow nurse's/co-workers/managers etc... you could argue they are equal of blame as could be her very own family.
If she has attempted to take her own life in the past and indeed been prescribed anti-depressants, then she has been let down badly by the system and there are a lot of other figures in the queue in front of the DJ's to point the finger of blame at. Should she really have been at work at all considering her type of job...?
