Wayne's World sussed it all out or something. Still smarting over that poor lad from Northern Uproar. In some weird and sad sense my youth is truly over.

I saw them (with Williamson and his wife) in the Olympia a year or two earlier but I don't think I really knew who Palmer was at the time, I only start listening to his solo stuff later. As far as I recall his contribution to the gig was fairly low key apart from his solo spot in the middle. It was a good gig.

Gravenhurst, singer songwriter guy on Warp, I can't remember if I ever saw him play live but I had a couple of his records. Only 37

Terry Beagan. He was a director at Loop Studios on the North Lotts.
Car accident.

There's a series on this accident running in the Irish Times.

Anatomy of a Car Crash

this is good journalism. verdict not looking good for terry*, but i'm wondering if the "why?'" question will be answered.

*met him a few times through an old job - always struck me as a decent skin.

Yeah, it just seems to be a case of drunk driving plus speeding.

They haven't said how much he had to drink - but it sounds like a lot. Plus he was driving on an unfamiliar road at 106mph/171kmh.

Why he was out at all though, seems to be completely unanswered. Maybe just lost?

part 4 today.
beagan was drunk driving - more than 300% over the limit, with cocaine also found.
driving on a motorway at 106mph is foolish. doing it at night on an N road you're not familiar with is suicidal.

Very moving story.

Sounds like he got a strop on him from the drink.

agreed. something doesn't stack up though - seems like the journo was trying to insinuate something about the discrepancies in the statements of the hotel manager (pity he wasn't at the coroner's inquest) vs. beagan's girlfriend. we're only left with suspicions.

Pure speculation but you could see them having a fight and him fucking off.
She either didn't remember or wants no involvement in it.
i.e. If she tells him to sling it, she's putting him out on the road locked. Easier to play the mystery card.
Anyway.
Just an awful, awful thing.

Speeding should have the same penalties as drink driving.
It's just as dangerous.

i think the cultural battle re: drink driving has largely been won, but speeding is rampant. i do c.50,000kn/year and see it every day, probably every hour i'm on the road. tailgating and overtaking on the solid white line are corollaries too and i invariably catch up with the perp within a few minutes, keeping a constant speed.

i've seen people having a great big laugh about how great drink driving is on facebook recently

i've had people suggest they might be ok to do it every now and again too, i'd to drive a group of friends home from the pub around 4 a.m. without a proper license (UK provisional not applicable in ireland) last christmas after the drunk owner reckoned he might be ok to do it since there were no taxis to be had

I'd say most people are okay after 1 or 2. Beyond that, you're lying to yourself.

It's usually the speeding that kills in drink-driving cases anyway.

Drink driving is still massively widespread here. I'm amazed that there isn't more deaths tbh
