Title: The Condolences Thread
Post by: harv on June 21, 2013, 04:20:46 PM
Don't know why nobody has started one of these before now so thought I'd do the honours after seeing that James Gandolfini, of The Sopranos fame, died yesterday due to a heart attack. :(

fuck him, what has he done in the last 20 years?

why do you even care? Why put RIP? You are a confirmed athiest

Disrespecting the dead. Very classy. ::)

I care because I've always liked him. And whilst the abbreviation RIP has its origins in the Catholic faith it doesn't mean that only Catholics can use it. It's a common epitaph for a variety of beliefs, including athiests.

why feel sadder just because someone famous dies?  You have no idea what Mel Smith was like.  Maybe he hung himself cos he was mixed up in the jimmy saville case...

He died from a heart attack, you muppet.

There was a Condolences Thread in the old forums years ago, you didn't have a problem with people being upset over famous people dying then so why now..? ;)

I lost my Rufus today, my big Ginger Nut had a heart attack and died a few hours ago. I'm absolutely heartbroken because he was a reminder of his previous owner, Dave Barry, who tragically died 3 years ago. My mate Dave used to do an impression of him which made him look the spitting image of him...didn't realise how much until I adopted him. I'm in pieces at the moment. :(

I've lost a few dogs over the years, and people who aren't pet lovers just don't understand how it can really hurt, just like losing one of the family.

Yup but it's a lot easier when they're in the ground. That's why I said, 'feel free to call me an evil git' ;) :P

Shit, didn't hear about that until I read your post just now! :o

He was a fantastic actor, the only blot on his copy book would be that godawful Mario Bros. film, I really don't know what he was thinking lol ;D

RIP Bob :(

Not sure if everyone saw it at the time, but here's Bob in the music video for "Sheila" by Jamie T.
(The name might not ring a bell, but you'll probably remember the "Sheila goes out with her mate Stella; it gets poured all over her feller..." chorus)
Makes me smile every time, that video - but a sad smile today.

Someone has done a great tribute to John Glenn with Oculus Quill (a painting app):

Still, 95 is a good innings. Doesn't look like space travel did him any harm! 8)

And Carrie Fisher too. Bloody hell, I'm glad I'm not an 80s star, they're dropping like flies this year!!! :o

Most of the younger ones who've gone this year have a history of drink or drugs (Bowie was a heavy smoker so cancer was a real risk).

That said, I want to know what Keith Richards was taking. I'm going to start taking it. He looks half dead and still 2016 couldn't get him.

And now Sir Roger Moore too from cancer. :'(

And 22 people including an 8 year old girl were killed in Manchester by a suicide bomber. It's at times like these that I wish god did exist because if he did he'd wipe out these fundamentalist cunts with a load of lightning strikes or pestilence.

Tbh we're VERY lucky that our Secret Service is shit hot otherwise we probably would have had as many atrocities as the likes of France, Belgium and Germany in recent years.

Breaking news is that Stan Lee has died today aged 95 :'(

Such a big part of just about everyone's childhood. Still, he had a good innings.
