if he's wobbling now, he's going to wobble a whole lot more on cross 

apart from the pet names...the texts don't appear to be very romantic.

seems that's going to be OPs default mode - I'm expecting histrionics and collapses on cross 

apparently it's not unheard of for a case to stop if the accused is deemed medically unfit - think he may be going down this route to get it thrown out 

slightly O/T if Shrien Dewani isn't deemed fit to appear within 18 months the SA government will send him back to the UK and all charges will be dropped   might explain why he's so keen on staying in psychiatric facilities 

the kisses at the end of a text don't mean a thing to me, I don't know why Roux persists with this...me and my friends do it all the time...Reeve's twitter account is full of them in her replies. Most people I have on in my address book end texts with xxx Mind, there's none of them I want to jump into bed with 

I was reading about this yesterday and as far as I'm aware if he's deemed medically unfit to carry on...all his testimony would be struck off and his affidavit ignored. I don't that would be a good idea for the defence.  

oops and I forgot to add about  Shrien Dewani , I was surprised to hear that this morning and that a doctor and nurse had traveled with him 

my American friends take the piddle out of us Irish/Brits because we always use x or xx after messages - I think it's just a term of endearment with us - no biggie Roux - bet he only gets xx from his grandchildren 

yes I totally agree...in fact I have been know to add xxx automatically...the worst one was to my car mechanic telling me my car was ready after its MOT  

He's still coming across as a spoilt little child 

there's something I meant to say - I read a few historical articles that he had with magazines etc., anyhoo, in them he intimated that he had an extremely happy childhood despite mother's early death, and was not as poor as he made out yesterday!  I'm wondering which is the truth? 

  I proper LOLd at that 

I have also read the same Pengy in interviews he's given,,, but Roux will have coached him on how to play it. 

I bet my Italian car mechanic crapped himself   But my point being its becomes automatic, so the kisses to me are irrelevant..there's no declaration of undying love or anything to suggest they were the idyllic couple, if fact to the contrary

*daughter on phone so I'm not ignoring you*

I really hate it when blokes say 'you need to be taken care of' which is code in my book for I'm going to control you   the girl needed to love and be loved back - I'm sure she was capable of taking care of herself.

what is this supposed problem with her health?  physical or mental?  

I don't know Pengy, I missed some of it with my daughter chattering...and yes, I feel he was trying to control her  Interesting to see the couple she stayed with in court today. 

sending him a silent message  we know what you did 

yes, they appear on the day he's in the witness box 

he seems to be very money focussed doesn't he? 

he seemed to put his career before anything else and seems Reeva had to take a backseat  I'm wondering if Roux is going to bring the I'm frightened of you text, no doubt Nel will if he doesn't. 

he'll be foolish if he doesn't give OP a chance to put his 'version' across as it could be deemed as OP is hiding real intent and reason for it 

I think it was near the date of her shooting...he may come to it yet 

Isn't it time for a tea break?  I need the loo 

I'm amazed at how Reeva's mum is standing up to all this, very impressed by her behavior in and out of court 

shhhhhhhhhh mind I want a quick shower, wish they would say when they are taking a break 

very dignified lady   I have a feeling if she didn't put on the exterior she is, she'd crumble and cry and I doubt the poor woman would be able to stop 

questions being asked in the ether why Barry Roux showed the text of Reeva wanting to wear leopard print dress but no reason as to why it was relevant? 

I'm sure I wouldn't be able to cope the in the same way 

yes he he glanced over it 

I shouldn't laugh but....

I dont know why i came into court today, i coulda just sat and watched it on tv. Im ready to fall asleep #OscarPistorius #OscarTrial

in fact the woman sitting next to Reeva's mum looks as if she's dozed off 

Sam Taylor his ex is all over twitter saying those are the last lies he'll ever tell   hand bags are out 

they may recall her...its been brought in to testimony if its lies 

Alex Crawford points out: 

#OscarPistorius Lots of passionate messages being read out - but as someone's pointed out - not a single 'I love you". Important?

could you imagine!!!!  It will get very nasty 

I should work for Sky, I pointed that out the first time round and again this time  Move over Kay Burley... I wish she bloody would 

Sam Taylor has deleted that text now but it's out there in the ether silly girl 

can somebody text Barry to break for tea 

With all this broken and upset Osacr...I think we are forgetting the victim in all of this and that's really sad,,, he's there because of his own making!

maybe advised to do so...too late was the cry 

tea and scones SA...UK shower and coffee for the next sess  be back later Pengy
