My ex missus threw a bedside lamp at me once when I told her I was off out in the piss.

It just came at me at about 100mph and I had no time to react. Then, suddenly, it stopped dead in mid air right in front of me. It was like those bullets in the matrix.

turned out it was still plugged into the wall.

i was divorced shortly after.

I've led a sheltered life it seems.Spider and Caroline Flack have made me re-assess stuff I was told in the past.

Example - KingĀ Bill circa 1970, mate says to me "Drink up quick and let's fuck off. I've just lamped some fucker in the bogs".

Absolutely tragic and such a waste of life.

It can happen to any single one of us, no matter how strong minded you think you are. A series of events or just a lack of serotonin, whatever it may be, life is in on a knife edge...

But thereā€™s help out there folks...thereā€™s always a way out.

It never rains all day.Ā

I've just seen a picture of her house

Assuming it's a good location, she's either absolutely minted or got a mahoosive mortgage

Or both

A 1.1 million pound 2 bed flatĀ in London is nothing much to shout about andĀ wouldnā€™t have required a mahoosive mortgage on her salary.Ā

my initial feeling is I don't think it's connected

plenty ofĀ other people involved in love island, x factor andĀ come dancing have not killed themselves - and plenty have come under scrutiny at some point

i sort of get it with the contestants (that topped themselves)Ā on love island who probably wanted fameĀ who did themselves in because their whole reason for going on there in the first place is to try and get noticed and make it, but, that might not even be why they did it

but I don't accept it for established media personalities, which she was

the press didn't get her all those gigs

and I doubt they killed her

this article seems to report what had gone on:

https://news.sky.com/story/caroline-flack-boyfriend-lewis-burton-sent-i-love-you-valentines-message-before-her-death-11935269

After being charged with assault in December, Flack had been banned from having any contact with Burton ahead of a trial, which was due to take place in March.

Flack, 40, also posted on Instagram on Friday, sharing photos of her French bulldog, Ruby, after largely staying away from social media in the wake of the assault charge.

easy to blame the press and social media but i imagine she had a lot going on in her head leading up to and following the arrest that probably drove her to do what she did

I don't disagree with that; it's just I find the whole industry of this reality TV/social media stuff so very shallow and superficial that it must be very easy for some to get drawn into it and become a success within it- no doubt she flourished and had a certain level of ability.

However it's just seems to be capable of spitting folk out again and pulling the rug very quickly. Some nasty cunts behind keyboards and damage may have been done before she quit posting.

There will always be an argument for saying the CPS shouldn't have pushed it, and without knowing the full details its difficult to make a judgement. Presumably though the CPS would need evidence of illness in deciding whether someone is too sick to attend court- I guess we'll find out.

I don't disagree either but would say that more applies to the contestants not the presenters,Ā  in her case going back to what casino said and about social media is that she has forged her tv career long before social media became what it is now, and the shows she's been on mean plenty people had heard of her

i.e. the gutter press didn't make her a star, neither did social media, whilst she happened to present some reality TV shows, it wasn't any of those things that made her, or destroyed her - imo

Not wanting to get involved, but isnā€™t suicide always the ā€œfaultā€/responsibility of the individual?

I expect that is the point; to reassert control overĀ oneā€™s own life.

Very sad

Ultimately it is the individual who takes the final responsibility.

Though I'd say it's the very opposite: an inability to control your own life; your own mind/feelings are uncontrollable and are inescapable.

It's a cry for help, and a way to take the pain away.

A Ā reality TV Junkie (allegedly) celeb takes her life and the country is in tatters, a veteran of Britain's war on terror takes their life, and nobody gives a fuck..Ā 

Just like Schofield the perv who has a thing for young boys, the British public haveĀ their morals and idols all wrong !!

Never heard the accusation on Schofield before? You sure about that? Who is the veteran of Britain's war on terror? I genuinely don't know but maybe that's the point you make?
