Why did Calculus get banned? Seems a little fascist that a member gets banned for being slightly critical over a Mod's statement. Or do Mods, Demi-Gods and Goddesses get immunity? I'm not trying to be smarmy or start an argument. I'm just curious.

Back on topic, he should be charged with attempted murder or at least aggravated assault. Doherty, that is. Not Calculus. :p

best to PM a mod over the situation rathe than talk about it out in public.

anyways... this is disturbing if true, but hardly surprising.

The post for which he was temporarily banned has been deleted. It wasn't just for being "slightly critical", we're not that bad!

That's good to hear. :D

Perhaps the young waif was having a diabetic seizure and Pete rushed to her rescue with a syringe of insulin.
I hope not – if someone's suffering from low blood glucose then insulin would only make them worse, possibly fatally so. It would be a syringe of something like glucagon she'd need. ;)

Well, he's been arrested now – apparently 'on suspicion of administering noxious substances recklessly'. Never mind, eh?
i've said this before and i'll continue to say it--y'all have such cool names for crimes!
 
Class A prat but I've got to admit, I loved The Libertines and all his acoustic stuff he made available online.

Well, I suppose it does sound better than just saying he was arrested for being a grubby little skaghead...

I dunno that has a certain charm to it.

'Today Pete Doherty was arrested for being a grubby little skaghead'

He's a half-wit junkie from a s**ty "band" that managed to bag himself a high profile girlfriend (Kate Moss). So instead of just rotting away in a small dark hole like any normal junkie his "rock and role life style" is plastered all over the papers constantly, while he floats in and out of jail and court rooms.

He needs someone to kick the living **** out of him.

agrees 200%. The extra 100% because I'd be more than willing to kick the living *** out of him.
Though I'm sure theres a queue to join.

He was arrested in east London after a newspaper published pictures allegedly showing him taking drugs and injecting into the arm of a female fan.

Surely "The Sun's" publication of the photo didn't lead to his arrest, did it?

The Sun = legitimate news? I always thought people only read page 3?

I think it has become quite apparent that Barat was the real talent of that particular outfit and not Doherty as the majority so obviously felt!

I mean come on, the output from Dirty Pretty Things is seemingly far superior to the Babyshambles tat...

Anyway, back to the story - oh yeah, can't comment personally as the rinky-dink ain't working for me. :rolleyes:

Sadly i have to disagree! I am still a big Libertines fan, and have ben really impressed with the 'shambles. Seen them live once or twice too, and they put on a damn good show! Not that i am averse to the Dirty Pretty THings, just that the stuff i have heard wasn't as good as i was expecting.

Maybe thats it, i was expecting nothing of Pete, but lots from Karl! We shall see. I am open to being convinced.

Anyway, as you say, back to the main story! I personally think the man is a prize A nincompoop and if it wasnt for the fact that he strings together one catchy tune then i would be with the rest of you calling for some form of mild castration to be administered.

"What a Waster!"

She's already unconscious, what a waste of drugs.

Aside from that, this guy is a douche and, as others have posted, definitely could use those rotten teeth knocked out of his head.

However, I'm sure that girl knows what this ******** is about, so I feel little sympathy for her.
 
interesting that the Sun link is dead now and I can't find any mention of the picture up on their site. Doesn't change my poor opinion of PD, but does bring into question the veracity of the report.
