no ones jumping to conclusions she could have been run over by a bus doesnt chabnge the fact she,s had a history of drug abuse "Geldof said she had experimented with drugs as a teenager, but was "never that wild" Hardly what i'd call a history of drug abuse. |

In a statement, Bob Geldof, said: "Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?

However, a former pal has revealed how the daughter of Live Aid hero Sir Bob Geldof regularly hoovered up so much coke that she got the nickname Dyson.
In a sensational interview rock drummer Snell, real name Neal Eldridge, revealed that he witnessed Peaches` manic drug taking when she started hanging out with his band Towers Of London and began dating singer Donny Tourette. "Peaches is the biggest hypocrite I know. She would go out on a drink and drug bender with us, then days later publicly claim to have a squeaky-clean, drug-free image. Every time the cocaine came out, she was there first to hoover it up," |

literally tens of thousands of addicts x addicts in this country ,many attending chemists for methadone doses ,they are not all bad people ,you never know 1st time you may actually know someone who is an addict .. You would be surprised at some of the people that
are addicts x addicts  As we dont even know what has happened not sure why heroine has been brought into it tbh .. |

In fairness, her definition of 'never that wild' might be rather different from that of most people.

'Fame and Fortune' - you can keep it.........this is Tragic news......poor girl. Even poorer - her precious little boys................heartbreaking news!

Don't really know who she is, but one toddler aged 1 and a baby yet to reach 1,
left motherless, must be more than devastating, for all connected. |

"Addiction" is a load of bollocks

ha ha joe, agreed - Sir Bob's idea of 'not that wild' may be different from most people.
|
|
By:
And Sir Bob said she was the wildest of them!

...what a strange world this is becoming.

agreed Madness - I've 'taken drugs' on and off all my life (quick - call the police!!) but if I can't get them it's not remotely a problem. I just do something else.

The problem with drugs is that they tend to impair your judgement. And that makes people go off the edge a little more often than they would otherwise. If it's just you, that's maybe understandable, but when you've got a family who rely on you, it starts to stray into other territory.

Desperately sad, my niece is the same age and she was a short head away from death with anorexia. Our family got her through those desperate times, my dear brother was close to a nervous breakdown with the stress but we got through it by being a solid family.

Most of us have done some form of Drugs ,thankfully I have yet to inject myself with poison
I have seen what it can do to people ,destruction is not the word  perhaps at the start its lack of will power but in the end It is not ,if it were that simple to get people off it ,they would simply be banged up with no access to the drug .. |
|
By:
WOW....DOUBLE WOW!!!!!!......slagging off Bob Geldof!!?? Those children didn't ask to be born!
|
|
By:
walofs, sorry to take your excuse away but most of us havnt done drugs
|
|

Could be that Case is including things like alcohol?
|
|
By:
I will bet the majority of this forum has done drugs at some stage Be it weed speed or coke ,Infact I would bet long odds on that is the case
are you telling me you know no one who has done drugs ? |
|
By:
If alcohol in honky we are talking 90 % imvho
|
|
By:
I'd say 90% would be on the low side!

By:
Well I'm sad that the kid has died, such a waste of a young life.
|
|
By:
for you to be right everyone i no would be doing drugs and i dont no one
|
|
By:
Besides, I'm not sure we should assess the drug habits of the average person on the basis of what the members of this forum take! We're not exactly a well-adjusted bunch...

By:
Agree totally Slip ,I used to talk to her mum on occasions on the phone,I was controller at a cab firm she used ,she was a very pleasant lady ,just a tragic waste on both counts

Anyone who lacks empathy for another human being has far bigger issues than any addicted person.

I must know the wrong people 1st perhaps we shall leave it at that

Gutfeeling, true to an extent, but if this is a drugs-related issue (and we don't know that it is yet), is it better to simply sweep all of that under the carpet?
Many of these early deaths are at least partly attributable to a drug-fuelled lifestyle. Is it really that wrong to criticise them for taking the drugs in the first place? |
|
By:
gutfeeling.........fine post
|
|
By:
The Dance Clubs are full every weekend of Kids and Wanna be Kids on some form of drugs ,the rest are just out pished drunk hard to know
which is worse tbh ... |

Slip was talking about anorexia looking at that pic makes u wonder if that may be the case here
|
|
By:
Very sad to read , she seemed a lovely , smart & slightly eccentric kinda girl , and only 25 what a shame

Casemoney, we all chipped in to get my niece to The Priory to save her. Cost 60 grand between us. That aside, she had all of us in her corner and she fought back and is now a qualified midwife. Family comes first, everything else is secondary.

Well said Slippy - family first everytime
