This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

Bizarre
In one of her profile quizzes:

"Get along with your Parents: my dad yup"

Her Dad is being questioned as prime suspect...

Shame on you who're mocking her.
She's been found dead, probably murdered, and leaving her child motherless. Not funny at all.

Indeed
It's not like b3ta to be full of distasteful jokes...

Not normally aimed at a named individual who's done nobody here any harm
and who has recently been found murdered, though.

I clicked it before reading the replies
and feel rather guilty as though I've invaded her privacy now. It's awful. How can a young girl go missing for 18 months without anyone seemingly realising?

Good point but I can't say I'm surprised..

I didn't know what this was initially about (aint seen much news over the last few days)
I've just read up on

Not good at all.

Oh I don't know...
Depends on what you judge these things by...

Shame indeed
Mocking of truly stupid tasteless individuals who live next door is one thing but mocking a girl who you don't know who has been found dead and left her little girl without a mother is another. Have you ever seen the photos of an excavation of a shallow grave, the body after? Have you any idea what it's like to be one of those people having to pick up the pieces after such a truly awful act? Do you know what it is to lose a daughter, even is family life has never been ideal? If the answer to any of those is yes than you ought to be ashamed. I've always read b3ta because it puts a witty spin on things that a true, not mercilessly cheapens human life.

That's unnecessarily harsh
Even for b3ta.

Sorry
Maybe it was a little. But my point still stands, maybe if we all stopped judging each other so much the world would just be a little bit brighter, hmm?

apparently
this is going too far whereas jokes about Maddy, a 3 year old who has either been murdered or is being used as a sex slave by a paedophile gang is par for the course...
(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 18:34, closed)
The Maddy jokes are mostly a reaction to the media circus,
the fact that when a cute, middle-class, blond daughter of doctors goes missing on a foreign holiday, the papers won't shut up, whereas if she'd grown up in circumstances like Vicky Couchman's she'd most likely have vanished from the media in a matter of days. That, and the negligence shown by the McCanns in leaving a three-year-old alone in a foreign country...

Vicky Couchman may have been missing for up to 18 months, and how many of us knew who she was until a couple days ago? But try to find one person in Britain who hasn't read story ater story about Madeline McCann...

Not saying that Maddy jokes are the pinnacle of good taste, but consider the context.
(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 22:12, closed)
I'm considering the context
and I can't think of anything much worse than a 3 year old being raped, murdered or both.
(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 22:49, closed)
Right.......
I was firstly going to say - Jeebus - shut the door you'll let in a draft! Plus, why take photo's going to a funeral and put them online?

Then I read how she was murdered and has been missing for 18months. Yet she's only been a member on that site since sept '07???
Then, 20hours ago, a friend texted her blog saying "Is this Vicky...please inform the police...". How can she disappear and be murdered, then set up a profile site over a year ago then only today people start accessing it and adding comments or wondering why she's gone?

If you want a laugh (if you have'nt heard she's been murdered), click the profile tab for gems like:

I think originally the estimate was that the body had been there for 18 months
But now the cops are estimating 6-12 months.

Also, apparently someone sent messages from that Bebo account about 10 or 11 weeks ago, so the police are trying to figure out what happened there...But they know for sure that the remains found in Hastings are hers.
(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 22:06, closed)
Thats
a hell of an inaccurate estimate - a years difference.
(, Tue 21 Oct 2008, 11:48, closed)
Don't want to be distasteful
but if you scroll down to the header "my family" on her page and click it, it opens a childish picture showing her brother and another baby called "Sharie" with wings and saying RIP.

That family has about as much luck as mine at the minute (I've lost 3 family in 10 days, 2 elderly and one 8 year old).

EDIT: just looked at her pics. There are posed, smiley pics in her album entitled "my baby's funeral". That's chavtastic. Fuck them.

Christ, soz to hear that
Our family have been ok, but we've lost 1 friend and another friend lost premature twins last week, damn weird time of the year :(
(, Tue 21 Oct 2008, 11:38, closed)
Thanks.
We were kind of expecting two, they were 84 and 97 which is a more-than-respectable innings and makes for awesome wakeage (being Irish and all, a non-tragic wake tends to be a celebration of life and a life-affirming event) but my wee cousin's death as a result of complications from his Marfan syndrome was a dreadful shock.

Still not as horrific as your loved ones badly decomposed remains being discovered in the woods, though.
(, Tue 21 Oct 2008, 19:11, closed)
This
stinks like a month old fish.

Point 1 - the police estimate the remains as 18 months old but the site was created in September 07

Point 2 - A witness says that Vicky was seen alive earlier this year. The police should *really* grill that witness.

Point 3 - A friend of hers, Hollie, was messaged from the site and slagged off - 7 weeks ago.

Someone has went to a lot of trouble to make it look as if Vicky was alive. And they were getting away with up until the remains were discovered.

Conclusion. Either the police are at least 6 months out in the date of her death or someone, probably the murderer, created that site to make it look as if she was alive. If that's the case, the murderer must have had
access to the photos that were posted up - oddly enough they were all posted on the same day. Last September. Another thing, that account has been active in the last day.

cheers

EDIT: And why is her user name VickyC79 when she was born in 89? Looks like her killer couldn't count.....

You have a good point
While a lot of teenagers DO use obnoxious spellings and text-speak, the spellings on the page are so ridiculous that they could have easily been made by an older person trying too hard to sound like a teenager.

But
The messages from her friends are all like that.
My theory is that the human race is diverging into 2 distinct species. Hopefully it won't be long before we can class the one species as animals and then either keep them as pets or eat them.
