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

Ruben Sosa had style though.

I think I'll preserve Mr A's now-deleted comment in that thread as tipptops' obituary -

I'm not sure your logic is holding up here.

Any word on what actually happened?

Didnt see that one coming. RIP.

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:

'Funeral' honours Edgar Allan Poe

Is it too early?

I refuse to join in and make puns......no matter what.

Isnt it a wonder how no one else has made a pun...?
