I am saddened to hear this, but it isn't totally unexpected. He looked so gaunt that the last time he made a public appearance, I guess I just hoped he would be able to fight through it. I heard the cancer had spread a few months back, just glad he went peacefully. I always thought he was a wonderful dancer, Dirty Dancing will always be one of my favourite movies, we studied it in media studies!

My thoughts are with his family

Not meaning to sound heartless, it happens, it was expected, do we need the announcement on BE?

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

Just thought people might like to know! He was a lovely man.

Didn't bother posting about Keith Floyd though, didn't think many people would have heard of him tbh.

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

OK, I never met the guy personally. BUT he did bugger all to improve the lives of your average joe anywhere in the world. Teddy Kennedy on the other hand did a LOT, why didnt you bother to mention his passing a few weeks ago?

Sorry but his whole oh dear another 'celeb' has died woe is the world shite REALLY pisses me off:frown:

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

OK, I did meet the guy personally, so perhaps that why I felt I wanted to post about it.

Teddy Kennedy on the other hand had no impact on my life whatsoever - and the only thing I know about him is that he caused the death of a young girl.

I thought he was a lovely actor, thoroughly enjoying ghost and dirty dancing, who didn't want to be baby in that film!!
He battled for a long time :(

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

He also openly supported the IRA,no loss at all.:sneaky:

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

Then you're very isolated from real life. His obituary might be something you'd like to read, or even his legislative record.

Another mod steps in and stirs the bloody pot.

I'm sorry forgot the rule which says Mod's can't post ?

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

I thought this thread was long dead, excuse the pun. :(

Re: Patrick Swayze has died
 

Exactly.

It was dead for two days there was absolutely no need to resurrect it, moderator or not.
