Two newspapers at the newsagents today had RV on the front page; she has been on TV stating that the verdict was wrong - unsurprisingly . I read there might well be a film made about this affair - good grief! This lady must have some neck - but then she probably needs paid interviews etc. to fund the eye watering amount she is going to have to fund for the lost case.

RV’s refused to accept CR’s offers to settle out of Court. She refused to accept advice from her experienced legal team that she couldn’t win the case and would come out with her reputation damaged
She reminds me of those people convicted of awful crimes, on overwhelming evidence, who continue to insist they’re innocent.
Some people believe the story they tell

Good grief, the world's gone mad, or the newspapers have.

Russia has invaded Ukraine, China threatens Taiwan, droughts are causing famine, we are practically leaderless with a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea and Rebekah Wotsername is on the front pages!

Nope Iam64, she denied that too during the interview!

Iam64 Thu 04-Aug-22 19:27:08

Oh thanks for putting me right chewbacca ?

Chewbacca Thu 04-Aug-22 20:00:00

No problem Iam64; the broad message last night was "Look, none of this was anything to do with me!" Self delusion is a powerful thing innit? grin

Callistemon even in the darkest times people need to find time to laugh.

In current times, I am afraid RV is providing the light relief. She has made herself a laughing stock and we are all having a good guffaw, before returning to the many dangers facing us right now.

I actually think this issue has now gone beyond being a laughing matter and there must surely now be a real concerns about the mental health of the lady involved and what may lie ahead for her.

I didn’t see the programme. Did they track down Davy Jones for an interview??

Chewbacca Thu 04-Aug-22 20:17:12

Regrettably not Grannynannywanny, they suspect he's still in his locker.

Regarding the phone being lost in the North Sea - I love the comment from someone who asked "When did a WAG ever go near the North Sea?"

Iam64 Thu 04-Aug-22 21:51:05

MOnica, you’re right of course to be concerned about RV’s future. What happens when those closest to her begin to challenge the false narrative she’s living in.

I’m slightly ashamed of still being amused by the Davy Jones Locker, what WAG ever went near the North Sea, Wagatha Christie etc . Shallow I know but it’s a distraction from the tough times we live in

M0nica Thu 04-Aug-22 22:09:40

It is like Jade Goody and East Angular and its location. There are certain chunks of information we just expect people with even a minimal education to know and 'Davy Jones locker' is such a familiar phrase.

And you are right, in hard times like this, we do need humour to get us buy and events like this really do add to the gaiety of the nation. But sometimes there comes a point when someone's behaviour is so perverse and lacking in insight that you begin to feel uneasy. I think I have reached that point in this case.

Yes, I know, M0nica but the front pages??!

She should now become a postscript in the media.

Callistemon21 Thu 04-Aug-22 22:49:22

Davy Jones was one of the Monkees, wasn't he?
The cute British one!
They sang Daydream Believer which seems appropriate

Chewbacca Thu 04-Aug-22 22:55:48

yes but he wasn't in a locker at the bottom of the deep blue sea Callistemon! But, he did sing "I'm Believer" which is possibly helpful?

Callistemon21 Thu 04-Aug-22 23:12:12

Perhaps someone will put her on the last train to Clarksville.

Chewbacca Thu 04-Aug-22 23:19:27

Give me strength!!! grin grin grin

Zoejory Thu 04-Aug-22 23:22:14

I always fancied Davy Jones. The Monkee that is. I also had a manager called Davy Jones. I didn't fancy him but boy, was he funny. Every day at work was like a visit to a comedy club.

Galaxy Thu 04-Aug-22 23:25:00

I agree Monica, I think I felt that about Jade Goody at times.
