Rip Thread

R.I.P.

 

Very sad. I wonder if they were on here?

 

i've put a post up on the Monster forum, very sad. A real substantial collision with both ending up in a field.

 

Spotted the post, thanks, RIP fella.

 

Sad to read the news of Andy Rourke’s passing

I reckon that out of 173 pages of this thread I’ve probably heard of about a dozen of these people!

 

^^^^ yep ^^^^

 

Again!!
How can this be?

 

This makes sense

 

That's a difficult pill to swallow when it's close to home.

 

That’s very sad, and makes it even more ‘real’ when it’s someone you know, or know of.

 

For me its the reverse though perhaps its just an age difference in as much as those people who are passing now were influential in life during my era (and not yours)? So I'm going to guess you late forties or younger? Either that or you need to get out more / I need to get out less!
