RIP Tony Curtis

Enjoy - tho this says more about Roger Moore than it does TC!

Yes, Emerson. But only up to a certain point. Like everyone else, I watch whatever misery is unfolding, feel a sense of empathy for my fellow, suffering humans. Then let it fade into the background; safe in the knowledge that another disaster will ocurr soon, distracting the majority from the present suffering.

I'm sorry if that comes across as unkind. It's just that in this media saturated age, I've grown rather numb to the suffering I see on the news.

Nicely put. What is all this grieving for some overpaid 'start' all about??

He reached a good age and live a good life.... what for all those less fortunate.

There are no threads dedicated to them so far as i can see...??

Where's the grieving? I just see a couple of twats trying to pick a fight

Seems to me by your language, that you are the one looking for a fight?

Sorry if i have missed something.

Apology accepted

[Pearson]

:-S

[Pearson]

I wasn't apologizing.

I was questioning why you felt the need to wade in with a negative statement such as yours i quoted.

In my opinion, you came across as the one looking for a fight.

My earlier post was simply putting my two pence worth into the thread.

You are allowed to disagree with my opinion, that is your right.

I question why you took it personally and felt the need to use profanity?

[Pearson]

You're such a bully.

Guess it must be half term...

Enjoying everyone's work on this thread. Play nicely children.

Do forgive me for being a, what do you call it a 'twot'

But what should i have apologized for?

[????]

Do the "Get off the computer and go and get some real friends" and you'll have covered all the cliche internet insults pearson....

[Pearson]

Bummer, you beat me to it ;)

[????]

Shall we call it quits? and a good night to you sir

[Mick Mac]

Lets call it Quids.

I grew up with Tony on the screen, along with Jeff Chandler. Montgomery Clift , Robert Mitchum.. but Tony was always my favourite, what a lovely man he was.. stunning is the word, I saw a photo of him when he was young in the navy.. and he took your breath away.. feeling sad about celebs is like feeling sad for our lost past I think, and the memories.

[PeckhamRose]

Thank you dizzybint for getting back to topic.

I even loved his paintings!

[Axeman]

Now look here. I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm simply saying that I refuse to grieve for people that I've never met. If I've learnt anything from this thread, it's that mourning the loss of people that mean nothing to you is fashionable, so as not to be seen as insensitive to people you've never met. Tell me, did you mourn the loss of live after the bus crash in the Philipines? Do you hold a candle for the Holocaust survivors? I doubt it.

Perhaps in future you should try not following the dishonest, insincere liberal trend, ????. Because from what I've seen so far, it suggests you're a very weak individual.

[RosieH]

Yeah Quids, you puny Guardian-reading liberal!

[????]

'Liberal' I've never been so insulted in my life....

Axeman gets 3/10, tries very, very hard but not up to scratch
