No news on any sites. All we have is a rumour from another forum which, TBH, is being given more credence by being quoted here.

Let's all hang back until we have some authoritative news, eh?

But it's still all stories from other forums. Maybe they're saying "it must be true, I've read it on Scoobynet as well".

Not sure if Steve Bennett from Ross-on-Wye counts as an authoritative source?

as above, its very sad news if true.

however I see no tv adverts, I have just searched sky, bbc, itv, and google, even rbs own website has no mention of it.

so I am just going to ignore this until its proven to be true.

Just waiting for this one.

The sad fact is that people die for thousands of reasons every minute of every day. Every death is a loss to someone for whatever reason.

Every life has value, and in death, everyone made their own contribution in whatever way they could.

We all came into this world with nothing, and we all leave it with something.

Sorry for your confusion, but that story was from 2004, NOT 2005.

I started the thread on general. It comes from a very reliable source. Probably the reason that it is not on any news yet, is that they are full of George Best & once you get into Friday evening, most channels are into weekend mode. This means very little news. I searched the TV before posting, without finding anything. This is why I posted the news. Tomorrow will still be all about GB.
