RIP Steve
 

Been a couple of times to Aussie Zoo, unfortunately never saw Steve there.

What an Aussie icon!

Such a sad loss.

RIP

The thing is had it been in any other part of the body. it would not of had such a drastic outcome...........anything piercing the heart is going to have serious if not fatal results. On the news it has just been reported he, MAY have pulled the barb out himself before he died.

Just a tragic accident....as the old saying goes, in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hubby has caught a couple of stingrays while fishing in the surf (where we swim)....and after being hooked for over 15 mins, it still didnt have a go at him when he took the hook out, but then he was aproaching it from underneath.............most people get stung when they stand on them and the flick their tails up in defence.

Rest in Peace Steve, our thoughts and Sympathy to Terri, Bindi and wee Bob.

My 9 year old nephew is coming over in March, and there holiday plans were based around him spending his 10th Birthday at Australia Zoo to see Steve, he is gutted by the loss

Seemed a top bloke - He'll be missed. A really sad story.

Mind you, he did have a very dangerous job.

Steve personified many of the great things about the Aussie way of life. I was so shocked when I heard the news, and I'm sure he will be sadly missed by many. RIP Steve.

I said the same to my mom (who loved him :) ) the wrong place, the wrong time. Goes to show how life is precious. God bless you Steve and family

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

This is the first celebrity death to ever really trouble me.

Why?

Because I have a daughter too. It's the family.

About the only danger I face is re-acquainting myself with power tools or maybe entering a burning building or being near a car explosion. Makes you wonder.

Steve

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

First time Ive seen you use your real name.

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

oops!! :scared:

Maybe the fact he's a namesake distracted me!

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

Getting slack ;) :D

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

I'm shocked. I thought his name was Badge :eek:

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

One of those people who works undercover......he'll be putting up a picture next :eek:

Feeling any better?

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

Unfortunately I have only seen a rearview pic of him!

Sense of humour is trying to resurface, but then I remember I'm leaning over a crap keyboard that is sitting on a John Mason packing case and my back aches and I want my lap top back. Really must do some decorating and furnishing :o

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

I've never seen him, and only live a short way away....unless he was at a meet...and hiding :eek:

Re: Steve Irwin has died
 

He'll kill me for bringing it up, but somewhere lurking in the mists of time is a photo of him and Dagboy facing away from the camera both wearing nothing more than a pair of speedos (each - obviously)
