Was just looking at some of 'motivation speaker' Eric Thomas' quotes & noticed he rates a mention among the BB brahs. Mmm... would he give himself the same name as someone he admired or saw a bit of himself in :thinking: superior Intelligence :thinking:

Eric Thomas quote:

Imagine that applied in the wrong context! Oh wait...

I had a thought & chuckle to myself last night...

In hindsight, Tostee Snr's bizarre reaction to Eric-Thomas-formerly-known-as-Gable-Tostee's phone call that fateful night is part of a bigger picture. Possibly desensitized to the "Dad I think I may have a situation" calls in middle of night. Imagine this: arriving on scene to witness his tyre-less, banged up, steaming rimmed car being loaded onto a tow truck and son being bundled into back of cop car. "Were they jealous son? Were they jealous you clocked 200km/hr?"

Here's to the passengers, Police & fellow road users who could've easily lost their lives that night of the pursuit, as a result of this arrogant ------------- trying to please his loins. The sentence received is a joke and an insult to us all.

I have a problem with anyone who takes more from this world than they contribute. I also have a problem with anyone who enables others to do it.

This, dear Chair. This.

And LOL, "Were they jealous, son?"

I've been having a quick look to see what things are affected by the name change (what he can get away with now that he has blackened the Tostee name and discarded it).

It seems that anywhere that he needs a birth certificate as proof, he will also have to show his deed poll certificate to use the new name - eg: on a marriage certificate, on a passport.

And because he had to provide the courts and police of his new name, both names will be kept on file together - so he can be readily identified by them by both names.

Tostee has had to inform police and the courts of the name change.

But I don't see the pizza problem. Can't you order pizza without giving your real name anyway, or any name at all if you are in the pizza shop? :giggle:

BBM - :giggle:

Um, a piece of supreme please

Your name?

Um, Eric Thomas

I'll need to see some ID

 

[alioop]

I am not questioning you at all Ali
I am just gobsmacked.
That it is possible that someone can be on their 5th DUI and 4 times over the limit. While leading police on a high speed police chase whilst on bail from a previous incident and only receive a 6 month sentence.

You know your stuff and I am sure you are right.

But I just gotta say respectfully I hope you are wrong, because 6 months just seems not enough. imo

So we are left with the alleged assaulting a police officer back in January or would that have already been considered as well.

I hope I am wrong too and I am only guessing so I hope I guess wrong. I think the assault charge is still to be heard.

When she lost her grip

I keep thinking about those words - they were just discretely popped into the last sentence.

Just as the reported gas leak was popped into the last sentence.

Same reporter who has been on the scene from the beginning...:thinking:

If Eric Thomas did see Rrie on the other side of the balcony ??????

I think he could have changed his name as he knew he would possibly go to jail in NSW as it seems he did it not long before then. Maybe he thought he wouldn't be picked on as much if the other prisoners didn't associate him with his high profile name. Bit naive really if that is the reason as there are no secrets in jail, apparently.

Named after a Hollywood star, now just plain old Eric: Accused balcony killer Gable Tostee changes his name to ERIC THOMAS

"Will Gable Tostee Eric Thomas report to the Warden NOW".

 

[Ooohm]

Make that Eric Gable Tostee Thomas. Sorry!

 

[Kara-curious]

In trying to understand the origins of Eric Thomas, I uncovered the following anagrams:

Ethics Roam
Shirt Cameo
Me a ostrich (not a llama?)
Erotic Hams... or Erotic Sham?
Stoic harem
Moist reach
Cries motha
Hot as crime
Hoist Cream

I wonder if the name Eric Thomas carries a secret message...

"Changing your name

In Queensland, if you’re over 18, you can change your legal name—if you’re not doing so for criminal purposes, such as committing fraud—once every 12 months.

You can apply to us to change your name if you were born or adopted in Queensland, or born overseas and have lived in Queensland for the past 12 months."

 

[sosocurious]

Maybe Eric Thomas sought advised as to whether he should change his name.:facepalm:

 

[enzeder]

Hahaha - funny you should mention that sosocurious. I did see where one particular sock has voiced IT's disapproval regarding the name change details being released to the media.

Every time I hear sock I laugh...far out...you all crack me up. Meh name changes are not secret and can be reported by the media. Considering he has been charged with murder, I believe it is in the public's best interests to know. They report on criminal name changes quite often.

I swear, I can't look at the 'protest pic' and not get the giggles.What's she doing with her face?!

So why was the court date so quiet, I wonder, that we all missed it? I thought it was meant to be in May.

 

[Ooohm]

Count me mystified as to how this court date flew under the radar generally.
Wonder what else is being covered up as we speak?
He's like a slimy fish trying to slip out of the net. Hey, all power to the real fish who get away. But not to Eric Thomas.
