Who Hosted With Dec Last Night?

[Samuraisan]

We were out last night, so in the end, who hosted with little Dec? Not one of my favourite shows, a bit too false and shouty for me, but I am just curious.

nobody does..but when a persons whole being is at play.. show heart please !

Garaman, He’s not just a drunk driver – he’s a sick man. That doesn’t excuse or negate what he did – but he is sick - and I think that is what is being taken into consideration.

By the way, I’ve never seen the show in question.

naomi.. ditto love xx

Neither have I. I'm not particularly an Ant and Dec fan, but I would say the same for anyone with those problems.

How can we novices tell a sick/unwell person from an alcoholic or drug user who just doesn't care enough to do the right thing?

[pixie374]

An alcoholic or drug user IS an "unwell" person.

[Garaman]

He is a drunk driver who could have killed a child. He has his problems, like most folk do, but they are no defence at all and shouldn't be portrayed as such.

[-Talbot-]

Harvey Weinstein said something like 'I'm not well guys, I need help'

Should we get off the poor man's back ... after all he is ill?

[pixie374]

It's not being used for defence, garaman. You, nj and Talbot are being very simplistic about it.

[murraymints]

no one condones what happened.. but Ant has accepted his liability... what more can want but a stoning..for pity's sake ...

[pixie374]

What is he ill with, talbot? I don't see how that is even related to this.

[Garaman]

It is very easy to be simplistic about drunken driving, Pixie.

[pixie374]

Very easy to be wrong as well.

Garman my 15 year old cousin was killed by a 15 year old who stole a bike while drunk and knocked her through a bus shelter killing her..
left her in the road to be run over by a further 2 cars and be discovered by her dad ..do you not think I have further grounds to be any more empathetic ?

[murraymints]

..and left to be found by her dad !!

[pixie374]

That is awful, minty- so sorry xx

[Garaman]

I am very sorry to hear about your cousin, Minty, which is very sad indeed. I don't know what more you expect me to say really as it obviously doesn't change what I have written.

[Arksided]

oh my goodness MM... that is so sad Xx

[Spungle]

Well said, Murraymints, your posts show common-sense and compassion.

Just to get back to the question. Samuraisan, this topic has been discussed over all the newspapers since it happened and featured in News bulletins, again, countless times.

Do you not read the papers or listen to the News? Just asking.
