Prince Willy / hospital nurse found dead

I didn't suggest they were culpable, it was your dismissive attitude to her death that I was commenting on, "she was clearly unstable and just needed a trigger" as if that's okay then. Maybe the trigger was a lapse that resulted in her feeling humiliated in front of her immediate peers and knowing that lapse was being sniggered at by millions worldwide.

Unstable or not, it's a human tragedy.

Agreed! One of the countless that happen daily. These DJs will have to live with the guilt.
 
GHod i wish this to it is why i eventually went and got an mp3 player. I will never understand why radio has turned into television without the pictures when the whole point about radio is music. Her indoors was listening to radio 2 on the drive back from Ireland the other week and i swear it was about 4 songs an hour, and they don't even have to have adverts so the is no excuse.

I have the radio on all the time and turned down so i can not hear it then when the traffic alerts come in they come in loud, perfect for me. Mp3 so i can listen to the music i want and the traffic alerts is all i need.

On the aussies well i will never know why they are so obessed with this country i know the queen is still their head of state but they really do have a massive chip on there shoulders. I have always said Australia is the one country i have ono intention of visiting and it is because of how they behave that makess me feel this way.

Also slightly off topic but if people want to discuss immigration then i always thought it wrong how we allow aussies and the other island near them to come over her and work for a year. When we have such high unemployment i think those jobs in bars or low level positions in offices should go to the British kids trying to find their way in life not a bunch of drunk gap year tacos.

Yes mate, agreed, it's a shame. I tend to listen to the specialist shows on Radio 1 podcasts...I DO listen to 5 Live football chitter-chatter, but generally speaking, the art of radio DJs seems to have gone right up the council and it's a shame indeed!
 
Ok. Not hilarious itself. The idea that someone would fall for it was though. Fake corgis barking etc.

If this woman was the target of the prank it would have marginally more credence. But she wasn't. brick happens.

Yeah, in this case to somebody's daughter, somebody's partner, maybe somebody's mother? Yeah, "brick happens'...

Oh I think anyone who drove the DJs to pull such a useless stunt, from the program director to all the happy smiling faces that think it's top drawer to get a hospital to cough up such unimportant and personal brick, can take an equal bow there mate.

NOT just the DJs IMO...society issue...
 
i have no allegiance to the DJs and I feel very sorry for the lady who died and also especially sorry for her family HOWEVER what im unsure of is what the DJs have done wrong? They pulled a prank - so have we all. I dont know if you can call it a prank that went wrong (because the nurse died) or whether because it was at a public figure it should never have happened.

We have all pulled pranks, we have all heard pranks and watched pranks via the internet and we have all laughed and joked about it.

Whether the prank was funny or not is kind of irrelevant because someone may find something funny that you dont find funny - all different senses of humour.
 
Would have thought quite a few djs deviate from what you would call the norm? Kiss fm back in the day and countless others use this. As for me, I'm a LBC listener!! And absolute radio they do the same. It's not something outrageous. However, is very sad this woman felt the need to take her own life. Would be interesting to hear how her colleagues and managers dealt with her.

The problem today is people are very sensitive and this creates weak people who grow up not being able to deal with things.

I agree, with all that, it's the easy dismissal of her death I find so distasteful.
 
Two children have lost their mother, but brick happens.

Yes. brick happens. My aunt died from MND last year. My cousins, my mum and I all lost someone we loved dearly.

brick happens.

2000 people died today in the UK of various things.

brick happens

I'm not going along with the hysteria here. This is tragic. Anyone committing suicide is tragic but I'm not braying for the DJ's blood.

As the saying goes, brick happens and then you die.

Now go and try the sanctimonious routine on someone who actually cares.

So collateral damage. Isn't that makes it worse that she was an innocent bystander, a nurse answering the phones late at night?

Exactly. It was a funny prank and that makes it acceptable, regardless of the consequences. It's part of the new mentality where individual freedoms are paramount and no one has responsibility for their actions, Any reading of Enlightenment/Founding Fathers stuff shows they had a very different view on liberty and responsibility.
 
Lol at the characterisations here. I'm sure you've all cancelled your Friday nights and are grieving in silence?

For the avoidance of doubt it's very sad that this woman killed herself.

These DJs deserve our sympathy as an innocent prank have had very unfortunate an real consequences.

I'm sure you lot have never had an argument, made a joke at someone's expense or anything else. Such a virtuous lot! :)
 
Poor girl. Must have had a lot going on in her life for this to be the outcome and it's one of those horrible Coincidences that the Aus DJs managed to get hold of a nurse that did not know the proper security protocol at the hospital, and then was in such a state that this humiliation may have tipped her over the edge.

But theres a lot of moralising going on here. As others have said, what these DJs have done is no worse than what plenty have done beforehand. Much less worse than what Russell Brand did, leaving messages on an answering machine of an old bloke explaining all the ways he Rogered his grand daughter.

Their only crime is 1. It worked and 2. Their "victim" was unstable.

Don't get me wrong, I loathe radio DJs. I know a few, including this girl, and would only have a beer with 2. This girl is a piece of work though. She used to be on local radio here under the name Bambi. I remember one time she was working behind the bar at a nightclub and she refused me service for being too drunk. I had only had a couple but she poured me a glass of water and said ever so smugly have that and come back in 10. I came back in 10 got served by another bar guy, ordered some shots, got her attention and sculled them all in one hit. But I digress, she was and still is a cow. Fell off the radar until she was on the Amazing Race Aus edition where you found out even her sister thinks shes a bitch.

Do you really think the hospital which houses royalty wouldn't have very strict protocol and procedures about communicating sensitive info? They obviously do and she obviously broke them. Not really innocent then, is she.

Not obviously. From what I have read (albeit early speculation) she was on the switchboard late at night and put the call through to the ward where another nurse gave the information. Its odd a nurse was on the switchboard, but that's what the reports are claiming.

But you could be right. She might have broken protocol so its all fair game.
 
Anyone calling for the DJ's to be charged needs to give their heads a shek!

The prank was hilarious and if the nurse has done herself in she was clearly unstable and just needed a trigger.

Lots of conclusions being jumped to!

Part of me agrees with you and the whole sachs thing being in the spotlight again is a joke in itself, but the other part is thinking about the immense pressure to the lady this might have caused. She could have been facing the sack for one and felt that she would be made the spacegoat by the hospital hierarchy which on an - I agree - possibly already unstable mind, might have majorly tipped her over the edge.

Is it definitely confirmed that it was the lady who was involved in the call and not another staff member?
 
Come on!!

No one commits suicide without some serious mental issues going on!!

The words used by her family are telling for me.

'We are deeply saddened' does that sound like they are completely shocked? Sounds like they knew there were issues to me.

Brilliant.
You, Sir, are a ledge. And on the money.

Totally see where your coming from.

When you say we all have pulled pranks, yes we have, but generally speaking we know the limits of the person we are doing it on. For me these Radio pranks were a disaster waiting to happen. It saddens me that the media is at a point that in order to get noticed people have to go over a line in order to achieve. Someone said society is the main problem, the need to shock, and they are bang on the money. Its like horror films back in the day, I remember Zombie Flesh eaters was a banned movie, now you can see excerpts on bleedin Youtube. Compare Zombie Flesh Eaters to any of the SAW movies and you really see where society today has taken us, or the hunger to get one up on the person before. Its time the media/entertainment industry as a whole, really need to step back and take a look at itself and see what has happened in the past 25 years.

I have an 9 year old Nephew, all he talks about is Zombies, shooting Zombies. Killing Zombies. :lol: When I was 9, it was about Kiss chase, British Bulldog and being lucky enough to stay up and watch Doctor Who at the weekends.

Do they need regulating, too right they do.

Its like having Madras as your staple curry, then after 5 years of having it, you need to move onto Vindaloo because the Madras tastes like a Rogan Josh.
