A friend of my mother's knows a woman through the Church, the woman is in her eighties and a widow.
Anyway the woman was befriended by a man who goes to the same church and is also in his eighties.
He offered to do some odd jobs and she was pleased at the offer.
The man sexually assaulted her on his first visit.
Bloody hell Vita, that's horrible.
The dirty old get, I wonder how many women he has sexually assaulted in his life.
I hope the lady has some support.
Her daughter is coming home from her holiday to look after her.
I think the lady thought he would be okay, what with him being a churchgoer but no.
It won't be the first time, not at his age.

Was he arrested, hope he gets a very long sentence.
Her neighbour heard her screaming and rushed round and she phoned the police.
Madders is right though, he'll probably get off.
Write nasty things online or misgender someone and you would get the years.

Exactly. People don't change their basic nature just because they get old....so unless he has dementia or something, he is just a predator in an old body.

Just finished reading this book, I couldn't put it down.
It doesn't paint any of the Kennedy men in a good light and some of the women are no better.
For instance...
Old Rose always claimed she knew nothing of Rosemary's lobotomy until old Joe's stroke in 1961 but she visited her in 1949 and couldn't bring herself to go back for more than a decade.
Bobby Kennedy Jr made a show of burying his estranged wife in the Kennedy family plot after she hanged herself but had her dug up and moved well away on the sly weeks later.

None of them were.nice. Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger, working for the mafia, that's how JFK got.in as President, votes rigged. JFK had more affairs than hot dinners. the big one with Marilyn Monroe,he shared her with his brother Robert. It's long been thought Robert, with help, murdered her.

Activists are calling on Mundo Marino aquarium in Argentina to release a 35-year-old orca who has been confined to a small tank since 1992. The orca, Kshamenk, stares at the gate of the tank for "24 hours a day." Kshamenk's tankmate died in 2000 meaning he has been all alone for 24 years. Orcas are highly social animals that need interaction with each other. "We continue to work with Argentinian activists and members of Congress to try to highlight and address his cruel world," a spokesperson for UrgentSeas said. "He needs to be removed from his tiny concrete tank and to join other members of his species before it's too late."

This is appalling. They swim miles in the oceans, in pods. Release him now, this is too cruel.

It's heartbreaking, as are places that confine dolphins for crowd amusement.
People are so cruel.

No animal should be confined in a zoo, like elephants, lions etc. Dolphins, whales, sharks are oceanic creatures, that's their home.
So very wrong.

Yet Rose Kennedy was holier than thou.
Disowned her own daughter Kick and said her death at 28 in a plane crash was define retribution for marrying a Protestant.
Jackie Kennedy seemed nice according to the book, Ethel while not a very attentive mother wasn't rude or anything.
Eunice who started the Special Olympics had the children doing her housework on the sly.

My brother's stepdaughter is in her third year of training to be a doctor and has just done her first night shift in the children's cancer ward.
She said it was hearbreaking.

I think you have to be born to be a good nurse, caring yet not getting emotionally involved....so good luck to her Vita.
I know I couldn't do it.

My Aunt was a nurse in a geriatric hospital, used to have change patients who had soiled themselves.
I don't think I could do it for a stranger but when my Gran became incontinent it was me cleaned her and clothes/bedding etc.
My mum and her sister couldn't do it, even though she was their mum.
I suppose we're all different.

The Gallagher brother's have buried the hatchet and not in each other's heads.
They're talking again after fifteen years of being estranged from each other.
I can't imagine falling out with my brother, bloody hell, we've haven't argued in more than thirty years.
We've always been very close.
My mum has a brother and sister.
Her brother hasn't spoken to her sister in more than 35 years.
My mum hasn't spoken to her in more than 10 years.
That will never be resolved.

The Gallaghers have announced where they will be performing together next year, coming from Manchester it's all over the news, sick of hearing about it.
They are set to earn more than £400 million, and given the fact that Liam is down to his last few million, I'm sure it'll come in handy till their next blow up.
Their music is good, Noel seems like a normal bloke, but the swaggering, ignorant as sin Liam is a pain in the arse...imo.
