Oh phil...

Michael Jackson is far older and spends his time hanging with pre-teen boys, never done his career much harm

And i dont think just cause ian huntley went out with a few slightly underage girls it made him go kill some kids

And tho many wont admit it publicly, most blokes of that age or older would nail a bird of that age no question if she was fit enough and there was no stigma about it, why you think blokes get so chuffed about people dressed as naughty schoolgirls n shit? Everyone grows up at different speeds, but a lot of 15y/o birds look n act a lot older than 19y/o blokes...

And if you want to incriminate anyone, im sure with the use of the search engine on here i can dig upo some old posts where people well into their 30s admit theyd blatantly nail someone of that sort of age (usualy came from pics posted or storys told)

Bit fucked up going out with them, but for all you know he was banging her (couoldve thought she was legal for all we know, ive been caught out many a time, lol) hse got preggers, and as he was such a lovely man he stood by her....

Never good to judge on stuff you know nowt about...

Dunmow: Death crash witness plea
by CHRIS WILKIN

Traffic police are appealing for a motorist to come forward who may have vital information about a horror crash which left three people dead, including a multi-millionaire businessman.

The driver of a grey Land Rover Discovery, stopped for a short time on the A120 between Dunmow and Braintree after a Ł640,000 McLaren F1 sports car hit a tree and was engulfed by flames.

Witnesses saw the man - thought to be in his 50s - stop near the scene of the smash on Sunday, but police have not been able to trace him.

Millionaire computer tycoon Christopher Dawes, 39, of Merks Hall, Dunmow, was killed along with his two passengers.

Floral tributes have been placed at the scene of the crash and forensic examinations are underway to try to establish exactly what happened.

The car crashed into a tree and exploded into a ball of flames. No other vehicles were thought to be involved.

Post mortem examinations have now been carried out on the victims and confirmed that all three died of multiple injuries.

Their identities will not be released for several weeks until they have been formally identified.

A police spokesman said: "We are appealing for the driver of the Discovery to come forward as he may have vital information."

Computer tycoon Christopher Dawes named eight people who wanted him dead months before his Ł640,000 sports car crashed, an inquest heard.

Millionaire Mr Dawes, 39, of Merks Hall, Dunmow, and two friends Michael Lamb, 32, and Fiona De Carternet-Newman, 37, both of London, died when his McLaren F1 supercar crashed near his home.

And they could have been victims of a bomb, the hearing heard.

Mr Dawes was set to appear in court later this year on drugs charges.

Following his arrest on Boxing Day last year his private jet and helicopter - both worth Ł3m - were impounded.

But police today rejected claims Mr Dawes and his two friends had died in suspicious circumstances.

Yesterday's hearing at Saffron Walden heard post mortem examinations revealed all three had died from multiple injuries as a result of a crash. No traces of drugs or alcohol were found in any of the bodies - identified by dental records.

Lawrence Kershen QC, representing Christopher Dawes' family, questioned police evidence as to whether there were any signs of an explosion before the car hit a tree on the A120.

He said a bomb could have caused an explosion causing the exclusive car to crash and he called for an adjournment for officers to fully investigate the names on the list.

The hearing heard how Mr Dawes' father was given a list of eight names of people who wanted his son dead.

One witness told how he saw a fireball coming from the car in his rearview mirror. But police proved the fireball could have occured when driving the car hard.

Essex coroner Dr Malcolm Weir said there was no evidence suggesting it was anything other than a straightforward road accident.

"This is a tragic case of the actions of the driver and nothing more," he added.

Speaking today Essex Police spokeswoman Kim White said: "We don't dismiss anything and we treat any allegation like this seriously but there is nothing to suggest that we need to investigate those names any further."

The inquest heard the three had gone for a drive after one of Mr Dawes' bodyguards had got the vehicle out of a marquee used as a garage.

They were travelling towards Braintree in damp conditions and the car had split into pieces when it hit the tree on the opposite side of the road.

Police accident investigators said the McClaren was a strong car and could have been travelling up to 120mph to cause the amount of damage. They found Mr Dawes had not braked beore impact.

Dr Weir dismissed claims of an explosive device saying there was nothing to suggest there was anything in the vehicle that would cause an explosion and recorded a verdict of accidental death.

"The deaths occurred when the car hit the tree and then the fire took place. With such force the tree went into the passenger compartment and impacted with the fuel cell," he added.

Has been all over the news here. Very sad indeed. Cause is speed related as stated by the police but also other forum users have said the road has a dip a bit before the crash scene so it appears he took off for about 40m before hitting the pole.

not much use over a ton and in the air


very very sad news, has made me think about abiout getting a locker box for the car keys like ya do with medicine for when my kids are older




i remember me mate use to nick his dads keys for his brand new BMW 535i when we was 19 and he was 17, his dad travels to other countries aloit and spends 4 months a year in australia with his girlfriend

not a fast car tbh but i remember a few scary moments, like the time we drove to southampton and the times we drove to brighton


totally forgot about that till i read the post, imagine what could have happened, his old man head butted him for starting a fight in a club when we all got kicked out and he told his dad what happend, to this day he still thinks his mate dented his wing

he old man bought a ferrari maranello (sp) after that to get his mate out the shit ( payed 50 grand for it cash, his mate went bankrupt , wanted to sort before the recivers )


he never did manage to find them keys, fooking glad now and he fooking looked for em too
