Unreal how a man can be that crooked and greedy, true scum A person whom I respected greatly killed himself after losing his fortune to this piece of turd. I'd piss on Madoff's gravestone if I ever get the chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant actress married to a brilliant actor. Came as a shock to me. The new series of Peaky Blinders or part of there of is currently being filmed 5 minutes from my home in Rossendale, Lancashire. Sadly Helen won't be there. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56921562 Michael Collins - one of the three crew members of the first manned mission to land on the Moon, Apollo 11 in 1969 - has died aged 90, his family say. He died on Wednesday after "a valiant battle with cancer. He spent his final days peacefully, with his family by his side," they said. Collins stayed in lunar orbit as his colleagues Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon. Aldrin, 91, is now the only surviving member of the mission. Paying tribute to Collins, Aldrin wrote in a tweet: "Dear Mike, Wherever you have been or will be, you will always have the Fire to Carry us deftly to new heights and to the future. We will miss you. May you Rest In Peace." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Is it just me, or have there been many former athletes dropping the last year or so? Maybe not the most famous ones, but many ex-pros especially in the USA seem to be passing away. This man was a college football sensation at QB at Hawaii, set many passing records, but had a string of bad luck including drug abuse, and is gone at only 37.

RIP I was just thinking the same thing and then I read your post. It is sad when anybody dies way before their time but it makes a particular impression when it is somebody who has been an athlete/sportsman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
