Rebekah Vardy agent’s phone is ‘in Davy Jones’ locker’, court hears

Rebekah Vardy is suing fellow footballer’s wife Coleen Rooney for libel in a high-profile trial at the Royal Courts of Justice.
www.theargus.co.uk www.theargus.co.uk

“Mrs Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne said Caroline Watt was “filming the coastline” while on a boat trip in Scotland and dropped her phone, with Ms Watt “unable to retrieve it”.

Mr Sherborne said on Thursday it was a “shame” that messages between journalists – who had allegedly been leaked stories – and Ms Watt were “lying at the bottom of the sea in Davy Jones’ locker”.

Ms Vardy replied: “Who is Davy Jones?”

Not very nice from the barrister, but that’s what you get when you go to court.

My daughter, Kay, 37yo is going to be starting dialysis at home in the very near future, prior to a kidney transplant.
She is to all, intents and purposes, blind and can't walk.
How she copes is so brave and I feel so down that I can't do much to help.
Type 2 is terrible.
I have type 2 but I am not anywhere near as bad as my daughter is.
A group may be of some help, to share our experiences.
Life's a bitch.

Let me send my love to you and your daughter, to CrazyG and Dad'n'lad. I know exactly what you're going through. I also salute your courage, not just courage in facing up to kidney disease/failure but in using things you love like City (or hate, like the rags) to help you through. Life is a bitch and it's not deserved is it?
I had 6% kidney function and did peritoneal dialysis at home, mobile peritoneal dialysis and ended up with haemodialysis 3 times a week at MRI. All told 6 years and in the end 12 false call ups for a transplant. Its harder than one thinks living on 600ml of fluid per day because you can't wee. I am one of the lucky ones who has had a transplant since Christmas Eve 2012 and my kidney function is around 33-36% which gives me a quality of life I couldn't have dreamed of 10 years ago. So there is hope. There are good medical advances.
I had difficulty accepting my luck when others are still waiting and still do. I say to myself that many people think I'm a nice guy so why not me? But there's no supranational. There are other times when I take the gift I've got for granted so I'm actually not that nice a guy at times.
Sorry for going off topic but to bring it back, have hated United ever since the age of 7 in 1971.

And I thought I had it bad. Please send her my best wishes and hope that her transplant is a great success.
When you say Type 2,is that Diabetes type 2? I also have that, in addition to stage 5 renal failure, but at least I'm now, hopefully, going to improve with dialysis. Unfortunately, I'm not in the running for a transplant, so this is for life.

How are you and your family coping with it? I've found that, since my diagnosis, me and my girls are a lot closer to each other emotionally, which is a great source of comfort.

Thank you for your good wishes.
Yes, type 2 diabetes is the cause of Kays' problems.
Medical science keeps evolving so your situation could improve.
An example would be growing artificial kidneys in a lab perhaps.

Our family bonds have grown stronger on the whole, but there are a couple of issues which need resolving.

Good luck and keep on keeping on!

Let's not derail the thread.
The word SCUM comes to mind.
(In case no one mentioned it!)

He was a great singer, and not just a cheeky Monkee, but, why did he have a locker down there?
 
I was reading the caf earlier and the protest about glazers.
One of them asked if they would be happy with the glazers if they signed a few players.
Someone replied that the issue isn't signings it's the money they are taking from the club.

Why does it matter if the owners are taking money from the club? Answer I'm sure would be because they then can't sign top level players so it is about signings.

Also no coincidence that the protests always align with the transfer windows.

Cheers. I must stop laughing at the rags - it hurts.
I've opted for the home dialysis as I don't want to spend 3 days a week at MRI - I'll sleep a lot better when I suss how to not trigger the alarm, but it's only my third night tonight.

Have you got the same problem as me - buggered kidneys (mine are down to 6% effective)?
We could perhaps set up a support group if enough people are interested, and still get to laugh at the rags despite our problems.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the support. This time last year, I was at 16%, now it's at 6%. I've not been told yet my liquid intake limit, but I could only manage 2 pints and a short last night with my mate on our once a week "piss up" (max 3 pints). The doc seems to think that should be OK as it's only once a week, so I've got to be grateful for that.
I prefer to watch City sober these days.

I think united will end up with:

- Melo at rb (Wan-Bissaka going)
- Casmeiro
- back up goalkeeper.
- another midfielder
- Antony/gakpo

Will definitely make them better, but still touch and go for top 4 I'd say

That's at least 350 mil with salaries and fee agents. They haven't spent that since Mou.

I'm willing to bet my left nut they'll fight between themselves at the protest, get the game called off, cause an absolute mess, police, arrests, get deducted/fined, piss off the dippers, PL and Sky plus all televisions involved in it and make a more disastrous start of the season than they can imagine.

All for it, I'll make sure I'll crack a cold Moretti this Monday, as i booked the day off work for a longer weekend. After that I'll fuck my wife in her David Silva shirt.

That's a proper Monday night treat

I started home dialysis 2 nights ago, and am getting used to my peritoneum being filled with a liquid to clean out my blood of toxins. For 8 hours overnight, I have 2 litres at a time put in, held for an hour, taken out, and repeated 3 further times before the programme is finished. At the moment, it feels as if my body has been given a thorough beating, but this will settle down.
Unfortunately, reading this thread is making me laugh so much that am literally having to hold my sides to try and stop the pain.

Please don't let it stop.
