Topic: George Michael

Sad to hear George has been sent to jail yesterday. Eight weeks, but he'll be out in four! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/ne … rison.html

My connection with George..... many years ago, before he became famous, George and his mates used to play, Sunday afternoon football in a local park, with me and my mates ! My favourite album of his.... Older

Re: George Michael

Sorry Brack, but I don't think it is sad at all. In fact I think he should serve the whole 8 weeks.

If he wants to get stoned, fair enough, but don't go out driving and risk killing someone, because that is what he did.

He could have easily run over someone and all because he is so selfish that he obviously thinks that he can do as he pleases.

Hopefully this will be a wake up call and that he will start to appreciate the life that he has.

Lucky no one was injured or killed. Serial intoxicated drivers out here would get a harsher jail sentence! Hope he heeds this lucky break.

Hi Romans8, your right with all your points. I don't condone George's behavior. I was just a little sad for him. I, like many, hope this jail term is a real turning point .  smile

Re: George Michael

seems like a slap on the wrist, but he did lose his drivers license for what 5 years? He's going to need a driver, somebody call Pete over in Essex. big_smile

Re: George Michael

It's kind of dubious to just blame it on being stoned/addicted with "cannabis".  He reportedly has been quite depressed and not sleeping well at all, topped off by anti-depressants.  Toss those all together and get behind the wheel of a huge, heavy clumsy moving vehicle which can only be safe when given clear clean sober attention to deftly maneuvering without physically induced concoctions, gadgets or actions of distraction having nothing to do with safe navigation, and the oft ignored state of mind sans all the preceding (not recommended to be driving angry, including road rage, depressed, including crying, eating, or expressing or feeling over ebullient actions or emotions).  The full jail term may not produce the effect hard-nosed opinions earnestly seek.  Yes, could've been worse, killing someone "innocent"...However, reflect a moment, and regardless or inclusive of feelings about George Michael as far as what he has done for a living, if he alone had crashed and died, some ready to judge so quickly might be prone to feel some "pity"...sometimes that is needed without the "worst" happenening...
Just saying...ANYONE close to George has to HELP him get HELP...He obviously needs someone and some help, as what he was getting has obviously terribly crashed (no pun intended at all) upon failure for him.
