Re: The departed
The legend that is Derek Acorah passes over to the other side.
He's right about Mary, i've met a few in my short existence.

Neil Peart from the Canadian rock band Rush has died aged 67.
Probably the best drummer I've ever seen.

That's terribly sad, I loved TJ... dementia I assume, horrible illness for the sufferer and their loved ones to see.Wigan White wrote:Terry Jones of Monty Python fame has died aged 77.

NBA Legend Kobe Bryant and his fellow passengers who died in the helicopter accident in the US today. Very sad, RIP to those involved.
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.

Whenever I hear of a helicopter crash like this - Stevie Ray Vaughan being the most poignant for me personally, as I am a fan of his music - I can't help question why the machine was used in the first place ?Mr Russell wrote:NBA Legend Kobe Bryant and his fellow passengers who died in the helicopter accident in the US today.

It strikes me that as they're inherently unstable craft they should only ever be used by the military and in emergency cases where speed and access would otherwise be restricted.
As a status symbol they fail because the risk is much higher than with other forms of transport.
It's terribly sad news though, especially as I heard this morning that not only did his own daughter die but also the parents of another girl in the basketball team he was coaching. I'm not sure if their daughter was on board as well - I presume she was.
I just feel it could have been avoided ...
Re: The departed
Sad news. I have never been in a helicopter, never will. If the one engine fails, they don't glide very well.
I once played against Don Revie.

Re: The departed
I’ve had a couple of flying lessons in a helicopter, got some more later this year in a small plane.
It’s a strange feeling flying a helicopter, just feel so small and fragile somehow. Thankfully, I’ve never had any issues, one can only imagine the horror for those onboard that flight.

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.
