[tek-monkey]

He's still alive? Balls

 

[Withnail]

No, he's dead. Pronounced dead at 2.20.

 

[tek-monkey]

Thats OK then.

 

[Mrs M]

Does anybody know the mother's name of David Rathband who was shot? It's just suddenly dawned on me that I may know the family

Davids mums called Mal

Shot himself at around 1am, pronounced dead at arrival to hospital.

@Mrs M - thanks for confirming her name, it was who I thought... she used to work for Ritz Bingo at the same time as I worked there.
If anybody knows her family personally, please tell Mal that Wayne's family's thoughts and best wishes are with them for David's recovery.

Paul Gascoigne offers his support

At one point former England footballer Paul Gascoigne turned up in Rothbury to offer his support to Mr Moat.

A clearly intoxicated Mr Gascoigne gave a radio interview and said he had brought him a 'can of lager, some chicken, a mobile phone and something to keep warm'.

There is a group on facebook called 'get well soon pc david rathband' you can add your best wishes there.

I thought the Gf was having me on when she said paul gascoines come with a chicken. Personally, if i was surrounded by armed police holiding a shotgun to my head, the last person i'd want to see would be Paul Gascoine. Can anyone shed the light as to why he was there? Unless moat was a big gascoine fan? Are there any?!

He claimed to know him.

Rambling, peculiar and barely coherent radio interview here.

 

[zakkwylde87]

That is brilliant! Good find. 'He's on drugs! He'll be fine when he's off the drugs....' Haha. Brilliant. Got him a fishing rod and a lager, good fishing trip and you'll only get 12 years... brilliant! haven't laughed like that in ages.

Well I'm convinced!

EDIT: Seriously, WTF do ou have to do to embed a youtube vid? Nothing seems to work!

 

[Withnail]

You've failed to convince me.

I take that back.

 

[tek-monkey]

Lol. If anyone doesn't have 8 or so minutes to spare, I'll sum this up for you. Shoes is right, some people just shouldn't be allowed to breathe (let alone breed).

I'm not a fan of talk radio, but this chap does a good job - I wouldn't have kept my cool that long..

Note:- I had to change the link to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufhPjY3X6rs&hl in order to hear it.

 

[tek-monkey]

D'oh! Can't embed, can't link, may as well just go back to being a pair of single childless females, sigh.

Ask yourself this: Have you ever embedded a YouTube video here? Has anyone? You might arrive at your answer.

If not, see this post from 4 years ago, on the first page of the YouTube thread.

Thanks.

Lol, coulda sworn I'd seen embedded vids but twas another forum.
