Anybody else fed up of the ever growing list of greats that have been taken so far?
We're only just into June and I've woken up to the news that Ali has passed away. A blessing in disguise as he'd suffered with Parkinson's for many years.
Young MotoGP rider Luis Salom also tragically lost his life yesterday.
#RIPtoallthoselost
And to many of the arseholes and scumbags who continue to breathe - it's high time for them.... #Weallknowsome |

So you mourn the death of some while wishing it on others? |

Irony eludes you I see.
You do realise we're all going to die right?  |

I get more shocked than sad when a celebrity dies unexpectadly. But not as shocked as when someone i know does.
We talk about them because we all "know" them.
I was really upset by terry wogan as he had "always been in my " life" that a favourite uncle.
I wouldnt get upset by someone who i hadnt heard of for 30 years.
Also people like david bowie and micheal jackson although i wasnt a big fan i know they influenced a lot of people through their formative years.
I will be devastated when queenie pops off.
But not as devastated as my stepdad whose coming to the end of his life.
But even if i put a thread up to say hes died i might get condolence messages.
Noone is.going to start varies threads on his life and career.
The reason people talk about celebrity deaths is because we all know them.
It seems a bad year cause a lot of well known people seem to have.died early
But majority of them where ill. They havent just randomly started popping off |

half of these people died ages ago though, they weren't really famous now although they are legends.
no offence meant, that's just how i feel and obviously it's sad they've physically died. |

"I feel sad when someone in the public eye dies,but it soon passes...
Presumably you're less fickle about your nearest n' dearest?"
Apologies,am I supposed to mourn for the next year or so for people I didn't actually meet?! Yes it's very sad,but it doesn't affect my life. |

Not at all - on a long enough time-line, everyone's life expectancy drops to zero 
No-one's immune from grief. |

I have been incredibly fortunate to get to the ripe old age of 48 without losing anyone within my immediate family,I'll keep you posted on my grieving process though for when I do... |

I suppose it was quite some time ago though. He died in 1949 and was the fat cheeky sidekick in the Will Hay films.
