I hope one of them's Carlos Spencer. Serve him right for screwing up Auckland Rugby and by extension, the ABs. Tosser.

Shame about the head. And the fact she can't pronounce (or spell) her surname properly.

Anyway - you can end all the idle speculation, peoples.
I was me. I was the four/five celebrities involved / implicated.
I done it.

He left 2 kids behind, and literally dozens of broken hearts.

If you have an addiction please get help!

Now that's a story that's worth hearing. Cheers chap... I can't relate but can imagine it's not nice...

Damned class A shit is beyond reason - you use the shit, you're a bloody idiot... you sell the shit - you're an arsehole (oh and a bloody idiot)

So did you sell it to yourself then? And was it for a good profit?

If it it was no good, at least you know where to find the bastard that sold it to you!

If you're going to be famous, be a famous author.

JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett, Larry Niven - all loved by millions, but they don't get paparazzi chasing them all over the show or "So who's Terry Fucking this week?" write-ups in Women's Day or New Idea.

Aside from Terry P, most authors would not be recognised outside their fan base so it's pointless snapping pictures of them.

For some reason, tv/film/sports stars are considered fair game but authors are generally left alone - they have to have allegations of child molestation against them before the public at large is made aware of it - and even then, more has been published about Brad Pitt's sex life than about Arthur C. Clarke's alleged dalliances.

So the trick to fame is choosing the right field - become an author, write an award winning book, write the screenplay of it yourself, rake in the dough and the adoration of your fans - and rest assured it'll be the poor bastard who stars in the movie that'll be chased up the street by rabid wastes of oxygen wielding cameras.

Well, that was the plan - to be an author, whether famous or not.
That was before 6 years of mindless drudgery in CubicleHell rotted my brain and f$%&ed me over. Now I'm reduced to writing mindless drivel on KiwiBiker.

About the only time I can write anything interesting is in the fleeting minutes when I feel dangerously suicidally depressed and have extravagantly hilarious ideas.

Sad, innit?

Poor, poor me...

(That's me poking myself with a stick)

As far as name suppression goes, I am totally for it whilst the person is undergoing trial - "innocent until proven guilty" and a' that. All people charged with a crime and awaiting trial for it should have automatic name suppression, no need to apply for it.

Once jury of peers as decided the person is guilty beyond reasonable doubt, all name suppression should be instantly lifted. There should not be an option under NZ law to allow continuance of the suppression once the person has been found guilty.

Name suppression should be there to protect those who are assumed innocent until proven otherwise, not to protect those who have already been proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt - "criminals" by definition.

Also, news reporters should learn to drop "alleged" and other such qualifiers after the guilty verdict has been handed down - there is nothing so stupid as "Mr Jones was found guilty of murder in the high court yesterday, he allegedly killed his wife of sixteen years" - Helllooooo! According to a jury of his peers, after examination of the evidence, he did kill his wife. It's only "alleged" when they still have not weighed the evidence.

The way our court system works needs a revamp - people still get "trial by media" as their name (or speculations of names) get bandied about while it is still only alleged that they committed the crime, others get to rape children and get their name suppressed even after they've been found guilty so they can move into your neighbourhood just down the road from your kids' school.

Simple: presumed innocent, you have the right to full name suppression; found guilty, you have given up that right.

Yeah I hear ya - and agree if the person doing the crime is the only person affected. Problems can happen if the family or collegues of said criminal get tarred with the same brush and suffer because of their "involvement" despite the fact they actually had nought to do with it.

I heard on the TV news this morning, that one of the two ex-sport stars isnt in too much of a hurry to come back to New Zealand and talk to the police about this case...

So this person may now live overseas for a very long time....

Still could be anyone. EG Peter Snell. What's the point of speculating anyway? Haven't you got lives of your own?

It's not mine. I've given up on GoatFood and farQ2.
Although I'm prepared to bring GoatFood back by request.

What pisses me off, is although I don't usually give out negative rep, I was interested to see how many red boxes he/she/it could get, but there's no provision for it for some reason.
