Sick of hearing about bleddy Diana doing my nut in like.

Agree, but it was a bit of a 'do you remember where you were when you heard' moment, tbf.

 

I was working on a ship, just sailing into Southampton one morning when people came round the cabins crying and wailing...

Southampton's not that bad.

The amount of people who were moaning about the constant coverage on the actual day who were totally devastated a week later said it all. Competitive grief and faux sentimentality.

Aye you're right tbf the social part of it is quite interesting. Not arsed about how she had a "connection with ordinary people" and the "peoples princess" bollocks, though.

She was accessible in a way no previous British royalty were, so yes and no.

I was at Alton towers, it was brilliant because it was dead too.

Same here. Orange flashing lights from their work vans as well all evening and until I went to sleep. Not fun!

My mate Steve being killed this morning on his motorbike. RIP buddy - the man who taught me how to get my knee down. I'll never forget you.

You have my condolences mate ..   I've lost more than one biker buddy and its probably part of the reason I switched from 2 to 4 wheels ...   too many tw@ts out there that just didn't even see me.

[Nick]

I'm not sure riding will feel the same again. He's the man I go out with and have a beer with - my friend. 

 

Devastated.

[Finnegan]

Really sorry to hear Nick. Thoughts with you mate, that's ****ing awful.

Thanks mate. 

 

Found out a few hours ago - just feel hollow. Can't seem to manage to get up. ?

[Finnaldo]

I'm sorry for your loss Nick, bike deaths I hear all too often nowadays. Thoughts with you and his family.

Dreadful, mate, that's awful - feel for you. 

 

Puts lots of other things into perspective when things like this happen. Been there a couple of times and I know what you mean about being hollow, and then going through the disbelief/why feelings. 

[Beliall]

Sorry to hear about your friend Swan.

Horrible news, feel for you.  My dad was bike mad, we never used to have a car, I travelled in the sidecar as an infant and then on the back of his bike.  He fell off loads of times and had to stop riding when the doc said he couldn't patch him up any more.  

 

I've lost a few mates in my time, every one has hurt so I can feel a little of what you're going through.  Did Steve have a family?  If so they'll be going through the grieving process as well and any kind voice will help them.

It was. But the following week was mass hysteria. Which we do so well in this country.
