NoelVilla Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 6 years on and I really miss my Dad. Why today? Why now? No clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange thing isn't it? Some days are just better than others aren't they. As I've mentioned elsewhere on VT I lost my mum to cancer at the end of April this year, she was only 62 and it's been devastating. I'm on holiday at the moment (booked recently to have something to look forward to) and I broke down in tears yesterday just out of the blue. My wife lost her dad when she was 21, just before we met at uni (ten years ago now, we're both 31) and she's been a big help. She says she still misses her dad often, and some days those thoughts are just more common, I think it would be unusual not to have them in a way. Hang in there mate. One thing that keeps me going is knowing that mum would want me to be happy and to live my life to the fullest... It doesn't always help but sometimes it gives me a boost to keep going. Take it easy buddy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Quote Beeb link A police force has apologised after a sexual assault prevention leaflet titled R U Asking 4 It? was given to teenagers. Avon and Somerset Police, which handed out the brochures at a safety workshop, was accused of "victim-blaming". After an angry social media response from pupils at the north Bristol post-16 centre, the force admitted the leaflets were "inappropriate and out of date". It said they have now been destroyed. Writing on Twitter, Eloise Mainstone said: "We should be teaching people not to rape, not teaching us how to avoid it." And Chloe Yelland wrote: "I'm ashamed that you have the audacity to 'Victim Blame' teenage girls with low cut tops..." Police said the leaflets, which also contained information about vehicle crime and robberies, have been destroyed. Chief Inspector Marie Wright said: "There are no excuses for rape. The victim is never to blame. "Our stance couldn't be clearer and the students were right to challenge the incorrect message." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The police seem to fumble this issue bizarrely often. It's not even annoying at this stage, just puzzling: how have they still not got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Quote Writing on Twitter, Eloise Mainstone said: "We should be teaching people not to rape, not teaching us how to avoid it." Bullshit, wind your neck in Eloise Mainstone. The cover of the pamphlet is misguided and should never have gone out, but guess what, you're never going to just convince everyone that they probably ought not rape people. Of course the police should be advising people on how to avoid being the victims of crime, whether it's rape, burglary, or anything else. This was a particularly clumsy attempt at doing so, obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Mate at work from Sierra Leone, his dad died a few years ago, his wife nearly died from cancer last year, his mom died just after Christmas. He'd just come to terms with all of that, gotten a new car, wife on the mend, both kids doing great etc... then found out his step dad & cousin had died two weeks ago unexpectedly. He went back to Sierra Leone straight away to help the family sort stuff out, been over there for over a week. Due to fly back to the UK today but we just found out he was run over and killed waiting for the taxi to the airport. 44. Kids & Wife back in UK. After all his family have been through and how he has supported them, looked after them, been the Rock and spine for them with no medals, no celebration, no fanfare, no fuss. Gone. Life is fragile guys, use it well. Edited July 12, 2016 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
