R.i.p Steve.
B3ta!
Ffs, just go there people. www.b3ta.com
Aww... now we're stuck with Austin Stevens on C5 for looniness with animals.
Steve Irwin was far better.
Excellent - my 15 year-old brother and all his mates are putting turtles in front of their msn names in memory.
I told my friend who was an absolute fanatic earlier and she's been really really upset. She wanted to meet him one day, he was her absolute hero.
aah i wondered why one of my friends had got a turtle in her name
Very sad news!
R.I.P.
was bound to get killed by an animal sooner or later tho
rip stevie
Wasn't one of his children there diving with him at the time? Or have I read that wrong (my internet provider are notoriously bad for details in their news sometimes)
I send my sympathy to his family.
Will raise a glass in salute tonight. Snakebite, probably.
In that picture is a giant tortoise, turtles are a completely different animal.
But i'm sure you knew that already ;p
I no me to well R.I.P dude i will miss ya
It's quite possible that's the kind of thing that happened
They said most people that get stung get it in the arms or legs and are just in a lot of pain, but it got him direct into the heart!!
Last time I saw him onthe news he was getting a lot of stick for holding his new born son in one arm with a huge crocodile next to him.
A few people on my MSN list have done that. I have also. I thought my boyfriend was going to cry when I called him and told him.
So how come so many people seem so affected by his death?
To me he was just another guy on TV from time to time on any one of 200+ channels on Sky TV.
I'm guessing it's the animal connection?
I dunno, i guess maybe the animal connection plays some part but i think mainly because he was just a top bloke who we all loved to watch. Was quite a character and was someone different to all these other tv people.
He did a lot of good for conservation of animals - particularly the crocodile in Australia - and also did some crazy tv programmes.
I wouldn't use me (or my boyfriend) as an example to that. My boyfriend cried for Richard Whitely also.
Didn't affect me because I didn't know who people were on about, when people spoke about it at work I thought it was the boy from Crocodile Dundee
Celebrities dying doesn't affect me really, unless you count Bambi's mum or Jack from Titanic :crying:
one of them even says struth.
