Havent seen much hassle in the Australia forum recently?? Obviously not looking hard enough!

Know him personally did you?
Bessie mates were you?

Death happens - get over it!
People joke about it because thats the way the huiman race is - sh** happens! It helps people to deal with it!!

I've been a nurse for 25 years and still weep at the loss felt for those left behind. I find your comments disrespectful and unnecessary.

I am as gutted as most that Steve has passed away!! and have said so on another thread! What I do object to though is do gooders telling people how they should and shouldnt deal with death!
Like I said, it happens....different people deal with it in different ways!! We are NOT all emotional wrecks that start bleeting at the faintest hint of death, some of us are more rational and stronger!
I personally think Steve is up there now, pissing himself laughing at the gags being told about him!
Yes, I feel for his family....hugely, however, none of us are related or know him personally! Have a private moment, then GET OVER IT!!! [sh]IT HAPPENS!!!

a) You didn't know him personally,
b) He wasn't your best mate and
c) You didn't know his wife and kids...?
Tell me....what's your point...as far as I can see you claim you need to get over it by joking, whereas I need to get over his death by stating what a decent guy he was and what he gave to Oz and conservation...all the difference here is that I think these jokes are inappropriate, disrespectful and immature.
What an idiot...
![Roll Eyes](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Please....give me some details about one of your family members that dies, so we can all have a laugh.....Dad die of lung cancer? Did you all smoke a limb each rather than buy some cigarettes that week?
Yeah we can all joke, but poke fun at someone evil rather than someone that only did good, then no-one will have an issue with you...

9 years in the paras matey.......seen many a comrade (close friends) die (in action).......so, kinda use to losing people close to me!
Mum died recently at the age of 52...............
Yeah......like I said kinda used to people close to ME dying!!!

My god, if people reacted like this every time someone they don't know died, can you imagine how quickly this world would go to the dogs?
Bunch of emotional fools on here!!!
