Anyone here remember Wendy Richard?

Okay, so what's the difference in the recent deaths of Wendy Richards and Jade Goody? Why is one death a "sad loss" and the other not even mentioned here on BE?![Blink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/blink.gif)

Because it was boring and there was not really anything bad to say about Wendy who was a nice person, people only like bad news and having a rant about someone they don’t like.

What I find both sad and remarkable is this thread has taken up 7.5 hours of today alone and there have been over 50 posts.
1) Is it really worth it?
2) Shouldnt we just her name and (earlier) actions fade?

The coverage of Jade's death has certainly been over the top but I would not wish cancer on many people. Ultimately if Jade had not ignored her first letter she'd still be here and if Princess Diana had had the sense to put on her seat belt she'd be here too but human error causes tragic accidents.
Tomorrow after work I am going to drink one beer each for Jade Goody, Wendy Richards, Princess Diana, Jesus and anyone else I can squeeze in.
Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to drink and die.

It is sad when someone dies young. However to be honest I never understood the mass appeal of Jade Goody. Maybe she gave hope to unattractive thick girls with bad manners hope they could be rich and famous too?

Calling someone who has just died "thick and ugly" is worse in my book..and I asked a question and did not insult anyone.
