[TheTrueReview]

There was some stuff on the net that she had a 7k per week drug habit.

[hopeihitstraight]

Damn that is alot

[live4golf]

Very sad, yes...

...must have been Kevin Costner's day off.

[Goldy]

Too busy dancing with wolves....apparently.

[Goldy]

Not to mention he's building something for some guy to come in....

[MegaWatty]

He was protecting Julia Gillard.

Bodybag?

[Jarro]

Very sad :(

[Lagerlover]

I'm so sorry Jarro, if you want to postpone our Matchplay I fully understand.

[Lagerlover]

Bodybag? Something for some guy to come in.... Your answer was a bodybag.Who's the necrophiliac??

[sms316]

Shampoo a buffalo?

[Jarro]

You mean you still wanna play with me .... even though i'm frightfully dull ?

[Lagerlover]

You mean you still wanna play with me .... even though i'm frightfully dull ? Oh to the contrary, I find your quirky ways exhilarating and contagious. In fact if anything, golf gets in the way.

[gazgolf1]

Domestic bliss.

[timah!]

It concerns me that people thought her death was 'sudden'.

[TheNuclearOne]

It concerns me that people thought her death was 'sudden'.

Was she known to be on her death bed tho?

[timah!]

Deathbed, possibly not, but surely anyone with a heavy drug addiction is only one bad dose away from death?

[Daves]

A fair few attendees of her concert tour here said that she stunk pretty bad, so the signs were there.

[AndyP]

She's dead? Wow!

[TheNuclearOne]

Some live life in the fast lane until they are 80. Sure, when they keel over people say yeah, yeah, hardly a surprise, but there are so many others that just keep on keeping on. I hadn't heard anything about any illness or health struggles.

Cause of death is actually unknown at this point, tho likely to be caused by many years of substance abuse. I wouldn't have been surprised to see her kicking on for another decade or more tho. Many have.

[BrisWesty]

Houston, we have a problem.

An awesome voice (and a stunning woman when she was younger), cut short by poor life choices.

[johnny b goode]

sad, she was quite a performing artist, the voice of an angel, made her mark on the world, she'll be sorely missed:cry:

[AndyP]

Thoughts shared by all.

[timinsa]

Stock market reports price of rock cocaine just dropped $1.47.

[Lagerlover]

[goughy]

Drowned in the bath, with prescription anti depressants nearby. Probably feel asleep. it seems so far anyway.

[Marto65]

I hear Roxette are dedicating their entire Brisbane performance to her .... going to do her whole song list ...

[Jarro]

Roxette does Whitney .....

... yeah, i'd pay to see that :roll:

[Eag's]

AP will be pissed!

Drowned in the bath

Serves her right - baths are disgusting bacteria infested pools of filth.

Nobody ever drowned in the shower.

[Moe Norman]

News of Whitney Houston's death travelled with such speed. When I heard I couldn't help but crack up with emotion. She was a real heroin. It's such a blow. She really made a hash of things though. Her life just went to pot. Someone should have kept tabs on her.

[Moe Norman]

geez, I'm struggling if jokes are old within 48 hours of her death!

How about:

She died doing what she did best, holding a note

OR

Line at her funeral is longer than the one that killed her

[Webster]

In all seriousness, what happended to her was pretty sad. To go from being a nice wholesome God bothering lass who looked like she could have been on the Cosby show, to ending up looking like one of the Williams sisters is a pretty decent fall from grace.

[Moe Norman]

The Williams sisters would need to be starved for 12 months to look like Whitney Houston

[Lagerlover]

geez, I'm struggling if jokes are old within 48 hours of her death!How about:She died doing what she did best, holding a noteORLine at her funeral is longer than the one that killed herbetter, actually second one very good.

[mike]

She should have married Mike Whitney. Then her name would have been Whitney Whitney.

Or Gene Pitney. Whitney Pitney.

[mike]

Or Winnie the Pooh. Whitney the Pooh.

[Lagerlover]

Or Winnie the Pooh. Whitney the Pooh. Or Mr Edward John Death-Stiff Shit?.... Whitney Death - Stiff Shit

[dave1]

How many famous people need to die before we go geez maybe we need drug test musicians

Like we do sports people

Its not as crazy as it sounds

Well it kinda is really but its worth considering

[markTHEblake]

Not musicians but celebritys in general. Seems that too many top themselves. Maybe the celebrity lifestyle ain't what it's all cracked up to be.

[Moe Norman]

Rupert Murdoch is said to be deeply touched by the messages of support left on Whitney's voice mail

[PeteyD]

Ties in with the phone hacking thing.

Why is heavy drug use accepted in performers and entertainers, but sportsman are supposed to be roll models and can't have a beer?

Drugs + Music = Awesome.

Drugs + Sport = Cheat.

[Johnny Canuck]

Drug test musicians?

I love the way Dave1's mind works.

[Johnny Canuck]

Personally, I just think Whitney got a little to high and thought she starred in a different Costner movie.

[Lagerlover]

Personally, I just think Whitney got a little to high and thought she starred in a different Costner movie. Dances with wolves??

Dances with wolves?? Rates highly on Rubin's list.

Is it 'The Postman'...?

[Johnny Canuck]

The Post-Mortem Man maybe.

[TourFit]

It's certainly NOT "The Untouchables"...that'd spoil the fun!

[dave1]

Drug test musicians? I love the way Dave1's mind works.They perform - we pay moneyThey are idolized by young peopleI know it sounds mad - it is mad - will never happen but one needs to just for a second just consider it!Aren't they meant to be role models?

[Lagerlover]

Field of dreams??

[Iain]

They perform - we pay moneyThey are idolized by young peopleI know it sounds mad - it is mad - will never happen but one needs to just for a second just consider it!Aren't they meant to be role models?People that consider musicians or sportsmen role models need their heads read.

Water world?? Winner.

[Johnny Canuck]

They perform - we pay moneyThey are idolized by young peopleI know it sounds mad - it is mad - will never happen but one needs to just for a second just consider it!Aren't they meant to be role models?On what basis would you implement the testing? Before you go on stage, the International League of Music Performers requires that you submit to a random drug test.Who next, Stockbrokers? Landscapers? Rock stars are hardly ever considered role models.

[Lagerlover]

Learning Italian???

[popper81]

Drug test entertainers...????? How f#%kibg boring..

Rock stars are hardly ever considered role models.Logistics - yep its mad.Its mad- Im a tad mad in my ideas.I believe doctors lawyers and politicians should be testedAirline pilots and mine workers are tested on a regular basisAll I said is "think about it"

[Golfnut]

A guy mentioned this on talkback radio today.....made some very valid points.

[dave1]

We target the wrong people

A big % of drug users are high income earners

[goughy]

Cause their lives are so freakin hard!

[dave1]

Really - was that tounge in cheek

They earn 400k a year and livs in a mansion

Yet they snort stuff up their nose

Bad copping mechanisms is why.

[Webster]

The first person we should be testing for drugs is Dave1.

[goughy]

Really - was that tounge in cheek


Firmly planted!

mmmm bowp bowp, chikka chikkaaaaa

[Yossarian]

Is there a test for stupid?

Drug testing caught Ben Cousins.

[Tomson]

I wonder where you get the facts from? Drug are everywhere, I can go to California, USA and say I have a medical problem that needs weed and get a prescription. Poor people do drugs, rich people do drugs, there are sportsman, solicitors, barristers, boilermakers and candlestick makers that do drugs. To say a big % of drug users are high income earners is a ****ing lie.

[Sydney Hacker]

Is there a test for stupid?Drug testing caught Ben Cousins.Did it?You didn't have a bite yet so I thought I would help out...

[markTHEblake]

To say a big % of drug users are high income earners is a ****ing lie.Look it's true. 100% of the people that top themselves with drugs are famous. When was the last time you ever heard on the news that some homeless smack head ended up in a wheelie bin at the Cross? Never.

Hahahah.... Blakey gold!!!

[dave1]

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.Not from my experiences anyway.Why shouldn't doctors be testedHigh stress jobHigh incomeThe need to zone out from thar stress.Drugs knows no boundaries. We think every drug user is a some kid in a alley or nightclub - its rubbish.

[dave1]

Hahahah.... Blakey gold!!! Homeless people do use drugs - I work with themBut they have little $ so drug taking is somewhat limited.They also are more willing to actually admit they have an issue and adress it

[Dotty]

It must be just an east coast thing, of teenage runaways congregating around Central Station, Kings Cross, etc. then get into drugs and later prostitution, dealing, stealing, etc. to pay for it. (Based on numerous newspaper articles, when a 25yo ends up in the morgue or court, on a high profile charge.)

Many years ago, I worked one day in a bleeding heart Darlinghurst pharmacy, that sold a 'number' bottles of cough mixture. (They kept a register, one bottle-per-day to registered users.) Business hours were the unemployed and occasional prossie. Early evening were suits on the way home from the CBD. Evening was patrons going to a gay bar.

The suits were a shock, as all my suburban and country experience was with 'jeans, thongs, shirt optional' (or flanelette or a singlet).

[markTHEblake]

Homeless people do use drugs Of course they do Dave. I was being facetious, obviously went over your head! Even Popper got it and he is known as Opium around this place.

[Yossarian]

Dave1 lay of the whacky tobaccy.

Kevin Costner has announced the planned filming of "Bodyguard II". It's about guy who stands around all day with nothing to do.

[popper81]

Of course they do Dave. I was being facetious, obviously went over your head! Even Popper got it and he is known as Opium around this place.

Oi....That is a bit rough....!!!!

Yeah i know. Personally i would never call you that.

[dave1]

Of course they do Dave. I was being facetious, obviously went over your head! Even Popper got it and he is known as Opium around this place. It did my dumbBut my point is people in power use drugsAnd they should be subject to random testing

[Tomson]

You USED to be able to do that in Cali.

Did they just change it? As UFC fight Nick Diaz up until last week still had a Medical Prescription for Medical Cannabis. I know that there is still a problem between the State and Federal law.

[markTHEblake]

I think Ozgolf should introduce random drug testing. Lots of sportsman, high income earners and Carlton supporters here.

I was under the impression it was a couple of weeks ago. There'll probably be 30 vacant shop fronts on Venice Beach!

[Johnny Canuck]

[Tomson]

And he got busted for it, again. Looking at a 1 year suspension and an $80k fine.

We'll wait and see what the NSAC gives him, it could be longer then a year. I like him as a fighter but its hard to like him with a personality like he has.Dana White is complaining about the treatment Floyd Mayweather Jr is getting compare to everyone else, the judge is letting him have his next fight before he goes to jail, that's impressive.

[Johnny Canuck]

Boxing is so corrupt, it's not surprising

I think the NSAC will give the year and 40%, just to remain consistent.

Diaz is a dick, but so entertaining.

[markTHEblake]
