leslie ash

She seems like a shitty person & the world a shitty place.

lolol

I'd break a rib with a brick if they'd give me £5m. Then I'd buy this place. Then I'd chum up to Jamie Oliver and Gwen Stefani and be using Leslie Ash as an ashtray, which is what the prick deserves.

how does someone fall from a bed onto a table? did she and lee have top and bottom bunks?

who decided the comp should be 5m?

"I think she is delighted that we could reach an amicable settlement."
Oh you think?

"Most of the value of the award is either past loss of earnings or prospective future loss of earnings."
Who is to say that she could not have landed a 4.9m contract in Emmerdale had she been fully fit?

and be using Leslie Ash as an ashtray

love what ya done here!

They were going for half a mill.

You should be going "ALL RIGHT!" at this, think about someone you know with MRSA who can sue for getting it at hospital due to negligence, not just limiting it to however much money they would have earned.

Or is that just me that thinks so?

Carry on with the kneejerk sexism, I'm off to bed.

Ash has since spoken out about the press ridicule she has received as a result of her botched implants, commenting: "If I'd lost a leg in a car crash, people wouldn't have felt able to take the mickey out of me so mercilessly....People don't laugh at Heather Mills because she lost a leg."

This, umm, leaped out at me as well. Umm. Either they were doing it standing up on the bed or "table" means "nightstand."

if she returns to acting or writes a best-selling moneymaking book about her experiences will she have to repay this money? are there any stipulations attached to a payout such as this?

"acting"

No, as in GET ACT TOGETHER!!

How are they gonna get act together if they've got no money (which is our money incidentally). There may be hundreds of these lawsuits about to be unleashed. I'm not against someone being compensated but £5m seems fucking excessive.

thinking 5m of a payout to a no-talent 'celebrity' after a botched lip-job isn't maybe the best use of public funds = sexism?

kneejerk ILX reaction, that.

I wasn't aiming that at everyone.

Just that the reactions would have been different if it had been Beckham.

5m? Yeah, excessive. The 'alternative' is Hospitals are above the law, etc...

It wasn't that long ago that as all the hospital food came under crown juristiction, you could not sue for food poisoning.

Unless that's bobbins.

Anyroad, yeah I was tired, so..

OK, you can disagree with the size of the payout, etc. I don't see what emptying bile on Leslie Ash has to do with it. Oh no she's a rubbish actor. So, had it been Judi Dench it'd be OK? etc....

(oh, and the payout wasn't to do with the botched lip job, details etc)

Stop it.

The payout actually had fuck all to do with anything medical. It was an Indecent Proposal-style arrangement with the judge.

If it had been Beckham I'd be even more pissed off about it!

Fair enough.

On rereading, it was possibly Eyeball Kicks' comments I objected to. Anyway, I'm out.

Sorry about the sexism, Mark. I don't even know who Leslie Ash is, I was just mucking around. Thought it was a fella, like Leslie Grantham.

I refer you to the first letter of your first posting on this thread.

And now, the test card.

How much compensation would you get for getting, say, both of your legs blown off in Afganistan, just out of interest?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7190605.stm

£285,000, apparently.

I don't think it's sexism, if it had been a tenth-rate male actor with little prospect of £millions of further work, I'm pretty sure the reaction would be the same.

depends -- if you SIGNED UP TO THE ARMY, probably not much. if you happen to get caught in the crossfire, even less.

I don't think the NHS is above the law, if something is the fault of someone who works there they should be suspended or sacked, I wouldn't even have a problem with an NHS worker being sued if it came out of their own money, it's taking money from the NHS itself that seems low. It's not like suing a business that cut back on safety measures so it wouldn't dig into their profits, the NHS doesn't always have the money to stop everything bad from happening and trying to solve that problem by taking more money away doesn't make any sense.

Does the NHS have something like public liability insurance or something that would kick in for lawsuits?

has there been any commentary in the national press about this? surely syphoning off £5m of taxpayers money from the beleaguered nhs warrants some criticism? shes been doing radio work ffs as well as releasing her autobiog

I never got why her character in Men Behaving Badly was supposed to be so desirable. Then again Gary and Tony were portrayed as very stupid.

what with the whole national pride re:the NHS it's worth revisiting this. she's been doing various tv docs, radio work, holby city since taking £5m from the nhs, she must be very happy. would be good if the daily mail used its evil powers to quiz her about all this
