What has mental health issues got to do with drink driving? Drinking yes, driving no.

I've had mental health issues all my adult life, I've suffered some extreme stress and loss this last year, I've drunk myself silly over it....I didn't drive while inebriated

I think it's the new excuse for being a dick. I know a few people who suffer from different mental issues and, to the best of my knowledge, not one as ever drove when drunk - and one is a major alcoholic. Same as it used to be dyslexia for poor grammar on forums and autism/Aspergers when some numpty gets caught hacking into something they shouldn't. It's just easy to blame it on mental health as the majority will not dare criticise these days for fear of offending and getting locked up by the Twitter/Facebook 'hate crime' police.

I don't watch these programs, but I'll tell you now they aren't popular because these 2 present them, they're just generic presenters filling a role. There's nothing special about them at all.

HOLD ON!!

We've an armchair expert here!! Let's listen!!

Zero sympathy.

I think he is a good presenter but this could have been a lot worse than it was.

I am sure he will feel a lot better crying into his £50 notes.

That got a proper laugh from me, like or loathe them you can't say they are generic presenters!

It is very sad.

Then again, if I was involved with presenting TV shows that add no value to society, promote demoralisation of humans and act as a method for stupid people to spend their evenings, I would probably drink too.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Tbh I preferred them when they were PJ & Duncan. They were more of a dance act back then. When they became Ant & Dec, they became a manufactured boy band.

Lol, how much value do you add to society compared to them then?

I didn't even realise that was them. To be honest, I don't think I have ever watched anything they have done (for more than a couple of mins) and until this accident couldn't of told you which was which. (And I'm 47 )

They are good presenters. Each year they clean up with awards. Doesn't matter if you don't like them, millions do, and they are good at their jobs.

That said, I really hope he gets some help as if not, he will end up like gazza.

I mean you do know they're essentially reading a script the vast majority of the time? Do they do any live talk shows or live comedy that I've missed? Maybe I'm wrong

People make very bad decisions while suffering mental health issues, people make bad decisions due to alcohol, just because you didn't doesn't mean that it's not a possibility. You only have to look at suicide as a prime example of this. It's a bad decision made at a moment in life where the person is at one of the lowest points possible and chances are, if they could hold on longer they'd pass through that feeling and be thankful they didn't make it.

As for the situation with Ant, I'm not a fan of the pair and he's made a completely stupid decision for someone so in the public eye, but, that doesn't mean it's the end of anything. Look at Robert Downey Jr and his history with drugs/prison. Celebrities can and do turn their lives around.

I personally wish him all the best in his recovery and hope that he gets and stays clean, that he makes it through the bad times. No doubt once he is clean he'll be making amends with the little girl and the people involved in the accident.

 

[Sankari]

To be honest, he always looked like a wrong 'un.

My job is all about adding value, I work agile baby

 

[SexyGreyFox]

I don't watch TV, I just can't abide all this lowest common denominator ****.

Here we go, it took ages to get the first one.

"because I'm so much better than you I haven't got a TV, anybody who watches TV is a pleb" etc etc etc

Anyway, just bought a Classic Vibe Telecaster to add to the collection of working guitars

People here have absolutely no idea, you can tell the ones who have no clue on mental health and what it can do to people.

 

[Talasour]

I understand that he's had problems with drugs and alcohol in the past but drink driving and risking other peoples lives is disgusting.

 

[Thorper]

Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'blind drunk'.

PJ!

I know all about mental health/alcoholism and what it can do. Still doesn't excuse drink driving though.
