The 27 club just got a new member.

Whatyoutalkinboutwillis

OK, breaking news on Sky now. Shame, but not the biggest shock ever.

Amy Winehouse found dead.

Sky News are running it.

Really? Whats the 27 club

I see.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

what a waste of talent.

She'll do anything for a bit of publicity...

This.
R.I.P

Bad bad man.

I think you need to go to Rehab

No. No. No.

Big shame, talented girl, but it was only a matter of time.

Exactly, it's been in the post for a while.

Not confirmed yet?...could be a hoax.

I think it has been confirmed now.

Sadly very, very unsurprising.

No age and some of the people she surrounded herself with when she was young need to take a long hard look at themselfs.

R.I.P.

Can't say I'm surprised but it is such a waste of talent.

Sadly, will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Keep this shit on facebook. I don't care about it. Terrible someone has died even if it was self inflicted. But I come on here to see ridiculous transfer rumours and Swindon gossip, not to read about something that every other news outlet and social media device is talking about.

Don't read the general discussion threads then

Consider myself told.

Michael, I loved your work in Highway to Heaven.

It's in general discussion.

Wow. I have just been made to look quite the fool! Enjoy your discussion guys, I shall keep to more appropriate threads.  

No sarcasm in that either, just realised it was retarded to click on here and then complain. Costanza you were brilliant in Seinfeld.

With the greatest of respect, fuck off Mr 24 Posts ::)

With great respect......Stop being a cunt. Well done you have spent more time typing comments into a football forum.  :smugfu:

Very sad - stunning voice & some pretty amazing lyrics in some of her songs
She mentored her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield who's like 14?? I saw her a couple of weeks ago supporting The Wanted - I hope this doesn't send her down a bad path now?

Sad news.Had obvious personal difficultys in life but still bad news whatever happened.

Facebook is melting down with her death,but not a mention of the bloodbath in Norway. A woman who had it all getting hooked on booze and drugs is sad,but what happend in Norway was fucking shocking.

Unfortunately the news mirrors the idiots in society. Some care more about a woman who OD than they do about a Christian terrorist killing innocent victims. No idea why they do but they do, it's one reason I had a go earlier. I don't understand how people get so caught up in stuff like this. 

Not a surprise at all but was a very talented lady.

Just witnessed the horrible site. The lifeless body, the big teeth, the distinctive 'horse' look and the fatal needle next to her. You may not have finished the King George Stakes at Ascot but your always a winner in my eyes. R.I.P Rewilding...

Well done. You're the first person on this forum I'm going to use the 'ignore' function on.

OSH what a cunt.

What is this, an attempt to beat DV and jjedmunds to the pettiest argument of the year award?

Did you miss the bit where he originally apologised?

Is there really an ignore button?

Michael Landon strayed unknowingly into general discussion and apologised for his initial post on the thread, why OST's panties are in a bunch fuck knows.

Well in all fairness i started it by puttin some stupid shit up earlier but was then corrected by someone and promptly apologised. Then for some reason the number of posts i had made somehow was the basis of an attack, which im still confused by. But yea you are right its pretty fucking retarded.

He's still a cunt though. But I shall restrain from anymore arguments. Sorry for disrupting the same thread 2ce in a day. I shall remain silent from now on.

And for good measure COYR  

Thanks to Bogus Dave and Herthab for mentioning that (without sounding to much of a suck up)

Remove this post immediately.

Course there is......


over here....


<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


Yes I did pretty much gloss over the apology bit. I'll tell you what though, it felt goooooood telling some one (any one really) to fuck off.  8) It was kind of a scaled down, internet version of Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down'.

Oh yes. You were very good in Little House on the Prairie Michael. ;)

Sad but no surprise. Had far more talent than many others dished up to us as popular music. A waste. RIP


There's also been a train crash in China, perhaps - as the self appointed grief police - you could advise on the correct level of mourning we should apply?

And now ghanimah is on the rag too...

He has a point.All i have heard is that people have also died elsewhere people should be more upset etc. Who are people to tell others who and what they should fell sorry for.

Her lifestyle will determin that people won't have any sympathy and for that i agree but for people to be taking the piss so soon after i find a bit off.

Addiction is so misunderstood i hope half the people on here never have any family members go through it as it seems the poor fucker wont have anyone to turn to judged on half these responses

I think it's what Amy would have wanted.

Jokes are made about every tragedy. Space shuttles blowing up. Tsunamis. Mass murders. Fathers imprisoning daughters in the basement, etc, etc.

Its distasteful, but its human nature.

That's fine i appreciate that but it's more the people who are on a high horse telling people to get a grip etc

Lighten up. People die all the time and other people make light of it all the time. I can't express grief or sadness if I don't feel it.

If someone I knew was experiencing something like that, or had a family member or close friend going through it, then of course I would try and support them.

Millions of people die every day, some in tragic circumstances, I can't get upset about all of them.

Get a grip.

That's fine i wouldn't expect you to but like i said Steve it's not the jokes it's the people telling others what they should and shouldn't think

I am a fairy.

(fairy nuff)

As  people have said, it's not really a surprise. RIP.

is this the specific thread where everyone overeacts or something?

How can you say such a thing you insensitive cunt

Are you telling people to stop telling people what to think ? :)


(that's a joke, please don't delete your account/the TEF!).

where's the post where people are told what to think? not a religious thread now too is it?

Was she a drug addict before she became famous?

yep :nod:

I bet her drug dealer is fucked off

That's a fair point, what pisses me off is the attitude of some that somehow expressing condolences for one sad tragedy automatically negates any sympathy for another, as if it's a 'grief competition'.

In other news, The Sun is reporting tonight that a lot of very touching messages have been left on Amy's phone.

BBC News are discussing the death of Amy Winehouse with a sports correspondent who once met her during a holiday.

Scrape that barrell real good BBC.

Lucky for us Gazza fucked off or it could be Jacko all over again. 

He might end up on the BBC talking about it.

Where did Gazza fuck off to exactly?

I think he lives in a shrine outside Fulham's ground.

Not a shocker, bar the fact Pete Docherty wasn't found dead on top of her.

Probably shooting up in memory as we speak

If anyone fancies getting high for free she's getting cremated next week

I believe it was my best work :D. Although there was no direct apology for being a twat there i suppose thats fair enough, if you missed my appology then your reaction was nothing but justified and i would of done the same. As for people talking about glossing over death, i'm not. It is a huge shame that she's died. However i may be crazy but i do believe that the Norwat incident deserves far more news coverage than this does. As does the 11 killed in the Chienes train crash brought on by ligtining. I'm not saying anyone must now forget AW and pay attention to what i'm saying. I just believe that they were far more tragic and deserve mroe memory. If you disagree then simply ignore my comments and remember AW. Sorry for any arguments coursed but i just assumed everyone would share my opinion which i suppose is pretty arrogant of me.

I didn't really get upset when MJ died though so you shouldn't trust me

Haha i thought the same, it might push him over the edge

I know this wasn't intentional, but this made me laugh. Sorry.

I was at Glasto when news of Jacko's death started circulating, very closely followed by the jokes. It seemed that only a few the youngest in the crowds were really upset, all the rest were making up the jokes. Should imagine Amy Winehouse would garner a similar reaction.
Although it's more newsworthy thgan the phone hacking scandle, cos someone has actually died, the Chinese train crash & norway is much more newsworthy as the victims were inocent. The two "Stars" caused their own death

Very tragic.

Her voice was up there with Dusty Springfield as one of the greats.

Shame she was a twat though.

I know the comparison you are trying to make Phil,but

Addiction caused her death
No sound of mind human causes there own death,when addiction takes over a person only the strongest will pull through especially when it is drugs.
George Best loved life,he caused his own death?...i would argue addiction caused his death.
Untill you have been addicted it is very easy to say that the person who died CHOSE to die.
Sadly in my view it just shows the bad side of the Western culture in that she was exposed to drugs at a very early age and the people who supplied and made the money are out there today peddling there misery to many.
Untill we crack(no pun intended) down on people selling hard drugs in this country(minimum of ten years for persons selling heroin,etc) i am afraid there will be plenty more sad cases like Amy Winehouse.

Haha Gazzza was just on Sky Sports News.

**Not talking about Jackson or Winehouse**

Very well said Leefer. Addiction is an illness,  people saying it was her fault are clueless, naive muppets.

Is Gazza on his way to Camden with some chicken and a couple of fishing rods to cheer Amy up?

Self inflicted illness.

This is a brilliant post and I totally agree with what you say. Addiction has been classed as an illness for decades and not many great doctors and scientists have ever disagreed since the original neuro-research in to this.

I've been having arguments all weekend with people who don't understand that her addiction wasn't her choice and it is an illness. Ok the first time she took the drug was her choice, but who knows the situation that she was in when that happened. When you're famous people the around you will do and get you what you want to keep your friendship - bit like George Best's mates still serving him drink in his darkest days.

People have gone out of their way to write on their facebook status that she deserved to die because 'she let her fans down and her family' and 'she could of stopped if she really wanted'. Makes me sick that someone could say that about a 27 year old girl who lost control. It's kind of like saying someone who smokes and can't quit deserves to die of lung cancer because they knew the risks of smoking when they started or someone who drinks deserves to die of kidney failure. Just because drugs are illegal people are quick to write them off as a dirty smack head that deserved to die. It's not even like she was out robbing OAPs to fund her addiction.

Then someone else put on their fb status 'why are people talking about the death of a drug addict rather than that the killings in Norway or the death of a British solider'....which just doesn't have any relevants on the fact that someone is upset that somebody they liked as a singer, performer and fashion icon. Who are they to judge what people should be upset about and what they want to discuss on a social networking site or forum?

Superbly written. Sickens me to hear 'who gives a fuck she was a drug addict'. I think it's something you understand or you don't.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying she deserved to die, and I do know all about addiction as I have just had a part to play with my brother in his battle against heroin.
The point I make tho'  is that whilst it IS sad that she is dead, I am far more sympathetic to wards the dead in Norway.

Sorry to hear that Phil. My comment was aimed at the Facebook morons.

Great voice, tormented soul. Waste of precious life and undoubted talent.

On a human level I'm just gutted for her parents. Can't imagine what it must fee like to watch your own child - blessed with such riches - throw her life away. Devastating is the only word I can think of.

We should always respect the dead, even if the person was ugly, had sailor tattoos, slurred their speech, lived with a life long addiction and relied upon a fix to get through the day …

RIP Popeye.

i remember george best saying if he had the choice of 5 years more of drinking of 5 years of not he would choose drinking everytime so he knew what he was doing

Very well put.  Whatever we think of people in the spotlight, in the end they are still someone's child.  For her parents it must be a living nightmare.
