schadenfreude
A business analyst who crashed his car after a night out was so drunk he died of alcohol poisoning as he lay in the wreckage of his BMW.
Company high flyer Karl Howes, 34, ploughed into two vehicles and left a trail of destruction before flipping his own company car onto its roof when it hit a lamppost at 50mph.

Whilst the world is rid of another twat, I feel for his family, must be difficult hearing stuff like that.

Re: schadenfreude
Tbh I'm not sure I could manage 1 glass of Rosé Frankie.
Monty, my personal view is that this guy didn't care about the fallout from his appalling behaviour, damaging numerous other people's cars or even the fact he could have killed someone innocent bystander, if he couldn't care about that, I don't care about the fact his own excesses killed him.
Btw sorry if I offend anyone with my blunt pov.

No offence here, just surprise.
Who here hasn't gone out, got totally trollied and done something equally as stupid. I know I have, I've seen the photos!

Re: schadenfreude
I can understand getting hammered - I'm guilty of it myself, but driving afterwards? It hasn't even crossed my mind.
Edit: I don't have to drive as Mrs Gee is teetotal, but at times have thought the M25 would be better tackled drunk.

Re: schadenfreude
Yeah I only ever drink and drive when I'm totally pi$$ed. Wouldn't dream of doing it when I'm sober

Re: schadenfreude
I don't think he deserved to die. lots of alcohol does funny things to people, where a person may never intend to drive at all, but then the alcohol removes all rational thought.
I never drink and drive and if i have the car with me i don't drink much at all and would never do so, however maybe he went out intending not to drink, got drunk and then being bladdered completely fooked his judgment.
Just another thought....
I feel sorry for his family.
