He had got off to a winning start as a professional as well. RIP.

Am so upset and shocked. As we established elsewhere, I am weird, but maybe thats coz weird things happen to me. I dreamt about Darren Sutherland for the first time in my life on Sunday night Monday morning and now he is dead. Fingers crossed he is the only one from that dream to die as Keith Fahy, Cillian Murphy, Charlene McKenna and one of our football coaches who I consider a good friend were also in the dream.

Am so upset bout Patrick Swayze too as like most girls, Dirty Dancing is one of my favourite movies of all time and the immortal lines "nobody puts baby in a corner" stands out as one of my favourite moments in time.

Now Keith Floyd? Was gonna watch a programme last night called when Keith met Keith about Keith Allen tracking down Keith Floyd but was too tired and as there were already 2 things recording on Sky, I decided against it. Dammit.

RIP to 3 men I really admired. XXX

When the tabs announced 18 months ago that Swayze had 6 weeks to live I'm afraid my reaction was as unkind and impatient as Homers when shown the US Navy deep fat cooker that could flash-fry a cow in 30 seconds.

But it's sad to to see someone die at 57 and all the more bewildering when they appear to be the sort of person who looked after themselves.

I remember seeing her 107th birthday celebrations. She was a big fan of WWE, and The Rock in particular, so he recorded a birthday message for her.

:eek: I did not know that. Even so -it appears the primary cancer was in his pancreas ...I'd have thought any pancreas related disease more likely to happen with someone who was for example morbidly obese.

The Sugababes. They are dead to me know that Keisha has gone. The best girl band of all time and only one I ever bought an album of (the best of - gets played on girly roadtrips to football matches).

I blame that skank Amelle.

He's probably down there with Ruben Sosa right now. Wish I could say it's been a pleasure.

Not a fan of Boyzone in the slightest, but its sad to see someone die at that age. RIP

At the courage awards in Britian recently, apparently he looked ill and that was only a week or two ago.

No time for boybands etc. but still a massive massive shock. His bandmates and family must be absolutely in bits.

I'd say most people (on this forum, at any rate) would be of the same opinion. Wouldn't have particularly concerned myself with anything he;s done but shocked at the death of a 33-year old public figure.

Also, I'm going to bend the thread rules slightly and include one of my favourite authors:
