I dont read the newspapers If I can help it, my partner was sentenced to three years in prison two weeks ago for GBH and the local paper made it out to be all his fault. He was attacked first and it was self defence, admittedly he went over the top, but the paper only printed the parts that they thought would sell the paper, and made it sound a lot worse than it was. I am struggling to cope without him as it is, and it didnt help what they wrote, especially as we live in a small town. Thankfully everyone that knows him knows what a lovely person he is but how do these papers get away with it? It is so annoying!!!

Papers print what they think people want to read.
Local papers are particularly bad at dishing the dirt!

Was the other guy also punished?

Any chance of an appeal?

My girlfriend dumped me x3 yrs ago,for the last time(previously a serial dumper,about x5times),thats the worst part,believing the lies,emotional pain is worse than physical pain - and I started this planning on joking.Anyway the pain is still there.

I guess emotional pain hurts more mentally than physical pain, as there's less understanding of it - if your leg hurts, you know why, and within reason you can work out when it will get better etc... Not quite the same with emotional pain.

Without wanting to dismiss the article (and admitedly I gave up reading it halfway through) you could quite easily argue that anything in life can kill you Probably better to just not get sucked in by such articles.

Dear Clare:-
I can confirm that after being hit by a 32ton truck whilst on my motorbike and having my leg smashed in 26 pieces,my broken heart was more painful.

Did they put a plaster on your heart

Was the bike alright?! Sorry, just joking - you okay now?

Come on peeps, this thread wasn't really about the article, it was about a member expressing her pain.

Well pointed out Nat.........


.

Iam sharing her pain. big ouch.

Mind you, we all have our running to ease the pain a bit!
Life goes on. I lost a really close friend earlier this year to a heart attack at 36 yrs old. He lived every day like it was his last and never got hung up on stuff. Short life but a full one. It's self destructive to wallow for too long. Life goes on and you never know what's round the corner. After a big break up in 1993 I met my life partner 2 months later. Been with her ever since!

Hot foot. I killed this thread. It's about death too, oh the irony!

We're all getting paranoid, so I'll kill it

Good one mate!
