OSCAR PISTORIUS A SNIFFLING CRY-BABY ?

Listening to the sniffles of Oscar Pistorius is pretty sick-making.

This man is no shrinking violet and is, in fact, a hard-nosed competitor who took on the Olympic establishment in order to gain a place in the proper games at London 2012. Anyone who does that is unlikely to be a cry-baby.

Whatever the truth about the events of last year at his home in Pretoria, we've already heard that he had a liking for guns and a short fuse. This is a dangerous combination and one that led directly to the death of Reeva Steenkamp.

Whether he's guilty of murder or not, we have yet to discover, but his whiney and tearful displays in court certainly don't amount to evidence, they are just whiney and tearful displays and he should pack it in.

PEACHES GELDOF : WHO ?

Who on earth was Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof ?

Was she a great politician ? Was she a great artist or musician ? Was she perhaps, a great scientist ?

No, she was none of these things. She was a highly privileged, pampered and stupid child, born into a dysfunctional family in the torrid world of show business. She was surrounded by the most ridiculous media attention almost from birth and, in the end, it killed her. Married at 19, separated before she was 20 and divorced at 22, she married again at 23. Two children with more silly names followed. A typical 'career' in modelling and other areas of popular culture contributed nothing to society but undoubtedly earned her a substantial income. 

A professed Scientologist according to a 2009 interview and possibly a follower of Judaism by 2013, her life was a mess.

The worlds of media and show business may miss her today but, sadly, her death will be of no importance to anyone but her family in no time at all. What a waste of a life.
