gummibear Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 So wish I could either live on an island and not know about people like this, or be God and just get rid of people like thisLike the way you think[emoji10]
Jonesy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Im not sure what the deal is behind this but got some cycling friends in Durbana pretty pissed off about this:Great to see East Coast Radio has managed to maintain its long - standing tradition of hiring cocks that moonlight as djs.....
Grebel Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 The mind boggles... After all the shyte lately involving stupid comments and opinions aired on social media, you'd think that people in the public eye (of all people) would sit on their hands and keep their "mouths" shut and their opinions to themselves........
EmptyB Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Great to see East Coast Radio has managed to maintain its long - standing tradition of hiring cocks that moonlight as djs........and they are world class when it comes to hiring twats!!
Ryanpmb Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Im not sure what the deal is behind this but got some cycling friends in Durban pretty pissed off about this:I see McCarthy VW Umhlanga have referred Minter Browns comments and repercussion thereof to their attorneys... Looks like he's walking to work soon... or running...
Rocket-Boy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I see McCarthy VW Umhlanga have referred Minter Browns comments and repercussion thereof to their attorneys... Looks like he's walking to work soon.That would be the right thing to do, big up to them if they follow through with it.If WV can be tied in with him in any public way then they have the right to cut all ties legally if he brings them into disrepute.
DJR Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 ..................If WV can be tied in with him in any public way .................You recon the company who cheated their emissions tests to pocket billions will suddenly grow a sense of social responsibility? Just kidding!
raptor-22 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 You recon the company who cheated their emissions tests to pocket billions will suddenly grow a sense of social responsibility? Just kidding! You will not believe how sensitive they are to that so I bet ja they will be pulling their sponsorship.

The problem with "celebrities" is that they feel that by moving their lips and fingers and going "enter" they will get a big payout and move to the next level. Similar to the way a certain kenilworth residents friends earn a living
HBO Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 http://classic.iol.co.za/polopoly_fs/copy-of-nm-ramnarain-1-1.1982016!/image/155598905.jpg_gen/derivatives/box_501/155598905.jpg Accused’s parents say sorry Durban - Moments before their son made his first court appearance for the deaths of two cyclists over the weekend, the tearful parents of Omesh Ramnarain said they were very sorry for the families of the victims. Cyclists Jared Dwyer, 36 of Glenwood, and Richard da Silva, 46, of Glen Anil, were killed after Ramnarain, who was allegedly drunk and travelling at high speed in his black VW Golf GTi, slammed into them on the M4 just past the Swapo Road (Broadway) turn-off just after 5am on Sunday, apparently when returning home from the nightclub Rocabar. The pair were at the back of a large group during an 80km ride from Blue Lagoon towards Umhlanga when they were struck and launched more than 20m in front of the leading members. “We, as the family of the accused, have been praying for them (the victims’ families) since this happened. It is devastating,” his parents told The Mercury outside the courtroom on Sunday. “We are so, so sorry. We hope God gives them comfort and strength,” they said. Ramnarain, 32, an Umhlanga plumber who lives with his parents in Phoenix, was also visibly anguished during his brief appearance before Durban magistrate Vanitha Armu. Gulping and wiping tears from his eyes, his shoulders heaved at times as prosecutor Thulani Mavundla listed the charges he faced: two counts of culpable homicide, one of drunk driving and one of reckless and negligent driving. “He was visibly under the influence of alcohol,” Mavundla told the magistrate. “We are waiting for the results of blood analysis.” Mavundla said the State was not opposing bail. He said post-mortems still had to be done and witness statements were to be taken. In an affidavit read out by defence attorney Devin Moodley, Ramnarain said he had lived all his life in the same house in Phoenix and contributed R5 000 a month, out of the R15 000 he cleared, to the running of the household. He had been employed as a plumber since 2003. He said he did not know how he would plead to the charges and still needed to properly consult his lawyer. “I did not resist arrest. I was taken to Durban North police station and I co-operated with the police from the start,” he said. Magistrate Armu noted that Ramnarain had no previous convictions or pending cases and that he was not a flight risk. She granted bail of R10 000 and ordered that he report to his local police station once a week. He will appear in court again in early March. Well, in a way I sort of feel sorry for this guy- his live is ruined as well. But, it was his choice to go and get pissed. It was his choice to drive home in that condition. I teach my kids that choices have consequences, and I always give articles like these (and the Waterkloof 4) to my kids to read and afterwards we have a discussion about it. Hopefully they wont find themselves in a situation where one night of fun will ruin there lives forever. It just is not worth it.

He made his own bed... And if he thinks this is all going to blow over, he'll be living with the repercussions for a looong time. Even without jail time (which is going to happen, due to the drink driving and deaths) he'd be in kaaaak from a financial standpoint. Insurers won't touch him, he'll have to continue paying for a car he can't claim an insurance payout for (due to driving drunk) and it'll be tickets for him for at least 5 years and perhaps even longer... Nope. Perfectly comfortable with where he is at the moment. No sympathy for the ****.

People need to understand that there are actual consequences to drinking and driving. You can be sorry all you want, you got into the car hammered and drove.
jules1976 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Wow My parents always said "you don't have something nice or constructive to say best to say nothing at all !" With the recent Social Media frenzy of Penny Sparrow and the Gareth Cliff; one would think that people in the social limelight would think twice about their comments on social media and the ramifications thereof !
