but... but... but.... I'm beyond all help 

 I don't think there's an antidote to what you are suffering from.

all them words and me and Yogi are in agreement  took ages to type an all 

must admit I like the Tie too ...someone likened him to a Thunderbird on DS 

Thunderbird  he's perfect in every swinging way 

 It had to happen one day.

I had to tell you...I had bottled it for a week 

where?  Linky? they keep merging so much I can't keep up 

I have will post a link to the poster elsewhere...but I'm not trawling through all those post and the poster uses the Thunderbird term frequently 

S'OK I'm reading the thread and I might log in and attack them when I find it 

pmsl...I don't post, its a war over there  

I rarely post there as they scare me and I don't scare easily 

oh yes, I don't even log in in case I get stalked 

half your luck 

If Reeva truly believed there was an intruder of course she would lock the door

The reason for the toilet door is either:

1. If Oscar's shouting had alerted her to the possibility of an intruder, it makes sense that Reeva would have locked herself in.

2. If Oscar was chasing her in a rage and carrying a gun, she locked herself in.

3. (To me the most logical reason) Reeva liked privacy when she was on the toilet. I always lock the toilet door, even in the middle of the night - and there is no threat to me of any sort.

that's not the inference Brunt was trying to make though Saint - he's saying that if a supposed burglar (not Reeva) was in the loo and about to ransack the place why would they lock the loo door?  The fact that Reeva was in there and the door being locked has two possible scenarios - 1) she, out of habit, locks the loo door when she uses it or 2) she ran there in fear of her life?

  I've said earlier in the thread here, I lock the door even when I'm the only one in the house - it's just habit and I like privacy in case anyone should come home 

Me too.

Did Oscar know the toilet door was locked? Did he try to open it before shooting?

I'm not sure I've heard any evidence that the door was tested   ask her Dameship she'll be all over it 

I'm busy being all over the tie 

 I'll ask Dame later.

Like I said there were too many unknowables.

OP couldn't have known if the door was locked.

Unless he chased Reeva - but how can we ever know if he did.

We will never know for sure what OP knew, who was where or why etc ...

Which is why i'm sure he will not be done for murder

As far as I'm aware he didn't know it was locked Yogi, he never reached the door close enough before he started shooting from his account.. He said he thought someone was coming out of the loo to attack him, so I'm assuming he didn't find out until after the shooting..hopefully Nel will ask him and he may lie clarify it 

 Thanks Dame.

Anyone think Alex Crawford looks like Renee Wallawalla actress (don't remember her surname but she was in Bridget Jones films)

 Renee Zellweger? Yes, there is a resemblance.

That's the one.

I knew what you meant chick, I was just joking 

As a partially disabled person myself, role models like OP are usually held in such high regard when they do well.  Given that in this country at the moment the sick and disabled are being demonised by our government, it's heartbreaking when someone you held up as a hero turns out to be nothing more than a misogynistic thug.  It doesn't matter how much he did for charity and promoting how children especially can overcome severe disability to shine, he will now be forever tainted and all that good work that he has achieved will mean nothing 

Reeva's sister Simone 'all the time Pistorius is crying and vomiting in front of us. My poor mother somehow has to endure this day after day. She is being so strong while this is breaking her up inside. She feels strongly that she must be there for Reeva.’

Simone says she feels proud of her mother for her calm and dignified presence in the court.

‘If I was there I would only upset her by crying and storming out,’ she says. ‘I could not sit there and listen to him, and sit through all those adjournments because Oscar is tired, Oscar is emotional, Oscar is crying again
