I get so very tired of seeing that word in my own social circle's let alone seeing people i've admired end up with the horrible disease......now blasting highway star R.I.P.

[Greg M.]

I knew he was ill, but this is still such sad news. I'm giving 'Purpendicular' (my faintly-heretical favourite Purple album) a good blasting right now.

[Something Fishy]

Sad news.  RIP.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

I genuinely loved that man

[exilewood]

Also gone - Bob Babbit & Kitty Wells. Sad days.

All the victims of the Dark Knight Rises killing spree. There are some truly evil people in the world, and the fact that people are making jokes and that bible pushing politicians are using this to promote organised religion, saying we don't have enough God in our lives. And people saying "well if everyone had guns this wouldn't have happened". How can you possibly say that and promote pro-gun laws at a time like this... disgusting.
Still, none of that's as bad as the 14 killed and fifty wounded, and all those who witnessed it.
My thoughts are with the wounded and the families of the dead.

just read this on the bbc... Damn.

[Colin YNWA]

That's a real shame. She was a great companion and from what I've heard a lovely person too.

Noooo, not Romana!  See last my comment once again. I was always hoping for her to return from E-Space too.
