A babby ....7 more months of this !!!!!!!

[Barman]

Would she have topped herself if it wasn't for the prank call? We don't know.

I'm sure it didn't help though.

Yes I'm sure she felt mortified ( did you see what I did there  )

She took the call and transferred it on. The other nurse provided details ...more info to inform the waiting world that Kate was feeling sick. Quelle surprise.

She had not been personally named and shamed in the media as such.

If this is a suicide and if it was entirely related to this episode then she was obviously in a very fragile state prior to this.

Calling for people to be sacked or punished for this is futile and ridiculous.

Absolutely, 100%, totally agree.... 

And if anybody apportions ANY blame on the pranksters they are calling for ALL comedy to be banned... Who knows who might top themselves for being the brunt of a joke...?

Fuck me, we post enough tasteless jokes on here (and laugh at them)... Should we all be punished if somebody topped themselves as a result...?

Agreed in the main.

BUT.

What we laugh at here is probably goes no further than about 20 people. And none of us appear to be "fragile" - we'd stop visiting if we couldn't take it. 

This woman was headline news in the scumpapers and there was nothing she could do to prevent that.  It seems that that sort of infamy was too much for her.

Bollox!

Where do you draw the line to protect the innocent and vulnerable...?

Who knows who is fragile...?

Would you ban all prank calls and jokes just in case...?

What if we made some joke among us about tiny people that just happened to hit a chord on the Intermong...?

This woman might just as well have topped herself if her soufflé didn't rise at the weekend - would you ban eggs?

I don't recall advocating banning anything. I'm just pointing out a highly probable contributing factor in someone's death.

Well yes.... I think most of us spotted the link.... 

Most of my patio is wet and the pool level is higher than normal - I'm suspecting that the torrential rain is involved in some way shape or form - if only I could werk it out like...

Quite correct Miss D on all points especially the one in red. 

There may be more to come out of this.......was it her first faux pas? 

[apc2010]

It is a difficult line .............some people find some things funny others don't ............I have repeated jokes from here before and people go mad (not good way) other times they go down well .............last night had a rant .....punters loved it ....the boss nearly sacked me .......


it is all down to the personal opinion ........

but Miss D is right ...........

[apc2010]

The thing that has shocked me most in this whole saga,












 is that Baldy knows the phrase    "faux pas?".................

I expect it is Cypriot for 'on parole'.

[apc2010]

Anyone else surprised that the person who answered the phone was Indian................


 

too soon.............

[Pastis]

Perhaps a little too soon but you make a good point.  Loss of face and shame could easily have tipped her over the edge; if she'd been Japanese there might have been blood on the pavement 

[Miss Demeanour]

Indeed ,  perhaps separation from her family also contributed . Apparently her husband and children live in Bristol. But ultimately we will never know so all that happens is speculation and hysteria 

All this stuff people are commenting on in social media suggesting that the DJ's in question have blood on their hands makes me seethe.

Also then the propaganda about the stresses that  NHS  staff are under  and about them being victimised by this prank !!! Whilst I'm sure she would not have been highly paid, worked long shifts etc  lets not forget this is a private hospital that doesn't have to deal with any ol Joe Blogs and probably has much better staffing levels  than the average hospital.

I also love the way the media are implicating the radio presenters solely - not one bit of reflection that perhaps all their over reporting had no influence in the matter.

Still where's there's blame there's a claim

I had a rant about that tonight ...........

[Barman]

Just heard on the wireless that the Metropolitan Police are talking to the ozzies now...? 

That'll turn into a nice all expenses paid tip for a couple of senior officers no doubt... 

Still, good to know that there is no crime in London that needs investigating eh readers? 

[Miss Demeanour]

Why , what law has been broken  ? 

Oh FFS   

[Snoopy]

Why , what law has been broken  ? 

Oh FFS   

The Australian Broadcasting "Watchdogs" are saying that their broadcasting laws have clearly been broken by broadcasting an interview obtained by false pretences and without telling the interviewees that the broadcast was going to happen.   

[Miss Demeanour]

This incessant nonsense is boiling my noodles .

Completely hypocritical meeja that whilst condemning those individuals involved in this incident for their thoughtless actions they are happy to hang them out to dry.

My noodles continue to boil

[Tipsy Gipsy]

Who in their right mind would consider it to be 'fair game' to try and contact anyone admitted to a hospital for this type of purpose?  Their parents must be so proud.

That would be me then....
