Finshed GTA ...

Finshed GTA ...

Catfish · Killer Of Trees

I've decided I like Whiiiinehouse too... probably just coz it'll upset Stead.

The JDK can't be bothered to log on at the moment, but he says you can borrow some of our PS3 games if you want to... what about Lego Starwars, MotorStorm or The Orange Box??

is the first musician ever to take **** loads of drugs, sing a bit out of tune and look a state. I like her though :)

Hey I come from the era of Aerosmith, the Crue and Ozzy at his worst- I remember what it was like when truly talented musicians damaged themselves with drugs for real - not this 'manufactured' pretend nonsense that they show her doing to make her look a bit more 'dangerous' for the kids. Back in the day musicians got charged and went to prison because they were actually doing this stuff - she only every gets 'cautioned' because most of what she claims to do is made up by Max Clifford.

You do inhabit a twisted fantasy land. You only need to look at her to see the crap she's putting her body through.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

She smokes drinks and doesnt eat much - that's why she looks rough - funny how she manages to 'pull herself together' when there's a seven figure pay packet in it for her...

Her latest round of tests are 'inconclusive' - but that suggests maybe she isnt really ill, but but.... how... how can that possibly be?

It surely cant have been a publicity stunt... no cant have been...

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

My mum's in hospital at the moment with some sort of kidney infection. Her tests were inconclusive too...

Henglegert Rinkerdink · Sorry... I must have the wrong street.

It was Emphysema then apparantly.

Oh, and JDK, I never said thank you for the game loan offer. I has all them though, ta all the same sir.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Hmmm 'hospitalised' for a week but somehow able to perform this weekend at Glastonbury! Why, its a miracle of publicity! :cough: sorry I meant medical science...

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

It's probably like the UFO sightings... have you ever seen her yourself... in person? Hmm? You have to admit that all the photos are pretty dodgy!

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

Well, for her sake I hope it's just a twisted publicity stunt, psychological problems are probably far easier to treat than emphysema.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

According to her father her 'doctors' have said she'll make a full recovery, reinforcing just how serious her condition is! I wish her the very very best...

Henglegert Rinkerdink · Sorry... I must have the wrong street.

You know Stead ... after 11/12 years I thought I knew you ... I was clearly painfully wrong!

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

You don't recover from emphysema. If she does have it then her father's sadly disillusioned.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Dont get my hopes up Shazza

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

I take it you've never known anyone with it then. Believe me, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

I have, a good friend of my Dad died from it - it was horrible, but I still dont believe the Winehouse story which is why I'm being glib about it - also, some experts have questioned the diagnosis and the family is now backpeddling

Washington Post today - "However, he has since modified that statement. According toMTV News, Mitch Winehouse toldBBC 1 Radioon Monday that his daughter fainted at her home on June 16 and has been diagnosed with what he called "a small amount of emphysema." The soul singer's lungs do show a small amount of scarring, but her illness has not progressed "too far," her father said.

"It's not irreparable. Really, she can't even smoke anymore, let alone that other thing. With patience, her lungs will recover completely. She's responding very well to treatment, she's flourishing," he said.

The singer's U.S. publicist, Tracey Miller, agreed, saying on Monday that Winehouse is "showing early signs of what could lead to emphysema but is reacting well to treatment."

Hmmm. I could either argue, or decide to stop. I feel both will have the same consequence. As I'm a little drunk I'm going with stopping, it involves less typing.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Apparently she's back in rehearsal today -

I dont mind if you defend her Shazza - fair enoughski

I can tell you one thing though, as a trained singer myself, if I have even the slightest cold or cough singing live or rehearsing becomes nigh on impossible - which suggests to me this is probably publicity in advance of her performance at Glast.

I know it sounds cynical but dont you think it's strange that she never gets prosecuted, never gets hurt, is somehow not really as ill as they first thought etc? It all sounds manufactured to me. Sorry.

Celebrities seem to have either the money or the juice to avoid punishment...O.J. got away with murder...Twice...Ben

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Really? I thought he was innocent... twice

The legal system NEVER gets it wrong. Ever.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Twice because of the criminal and the civil trial or did he do someone else in?

What happened with the theft thing? I thought if he was found guilty for that, due to the 3 strikes law he was in real trouble?

He killed both his wife and her boyfriend...Story here...

I saw him on "Inside America's Jails" the other night being booked into the LV jail on the theft charge...It was on tape and I haven't heard when his trial date is...He should have been dead long ago...Ben

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Sept 8th apparently - here's what he's charged with according to WIKI

Simpson was charged[27] with multiple felony counts, including criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, assault, robbery, and using a deadly weapon.[28] If convicted of all charges, he could face more than 60 years imprisonment.[26] The kidnapping charge could land Simpson in prison with a life sentence with parole, and the robbery charges, if convicted, carry mandatory prison time

He also owes $1.4m dollars in unpaid tax - he's done really well....

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

No, no no. You're wrong. I saw a programme in 1995 - called something like 'The BBC News' that said that he was found innocent of the murders. I saw it on the TV. It must be true and therefore any later suggestion of criminal activity on his part must be false.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

I think its accepted generally that he was probably guilty of the 1995 murders - these are new charges JDK ;) and no one has conveniently forgotten or failed to research the old ones in this thread

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Excellent point. Wikipedia has never contained incorrect or incomplete infomation and it's researchers always include references to every TV show that has ever mentioned the subject. I stand utterly corrected. I'm sorry for incoveniencing you.

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

That's perfectly OK

I'm gonna pay for this at some point in the future

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

I've just added these two threads to my favourites.

There is a slight difference though in that everyone knows that wiki is user submitted stuff - but Snopes is privately run and claims to be an authority. Wiki is full of mistakes, sure and full of 'claims' which is why pages often end up covered in 'citation needed' marks etc.

But Snopes puts itself out there as debunking myths and legends - it should probably have a 'probably a myth' section that users can comment on with evidence prior to them going into the main database as 'fact'
