Hard drugs are fashionable again with the in-crowd?

What ever the cause, sad to see a young mother die, leaving children who'll never remember their mother.  :(

Heroin 'role' in Peaches Geldof death

Heroin is "likely" to have played a role in the death of Peaches Geldof, an inquest has revealed.

The results of a toxicology report showed TV presenter Geldof, who died suddenly last month aged 25, had the drug in her system.

Geldof was the second daughter of musician and campaigner Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates, who died of a heroin overdose at the age of 41.

Geldof, who was 11 when her mother died, left two sons and a husband.

At a brief inquest in Gravesend, Det Ch Insp Paul Fotheringham, told the hearing: "Recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death."

Fancy being able to say "I moved to London in 1966".   :cool: :bowler:



That from a radio interview with DJ radio/tv presenter Bob Harris, who arrived in the capital with little experience or qualifications, aged 19.

I was walking so much and I didn't eat much, had little appetite for some reason...I guess that bodes well.

Damn Japanese washing machines though- my football shirts are really getting messed up

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I haven't washed my AJ Hawk jersey. In forever.

It brings luck and special Buckeye good vibes.

I haven't washed my Wyoming jersey since Wyoming had back to back winning seasons.
