Sad news.
I saw quite an in-depth interview with JT on the box some time ago. Seemed a really nice guy aside from some rather odd support for Scientology. An unassuming sort of chap despite having a jet parked up on his drive
I am sure he would give it all up to have his kid back. dl

Thoughts to the family, a terrible loss, far too early.
I lost a friend over Xmas to cancer, he was 28, even that seemed young, but a teenager, thats tragic
RIP Jett

Terrible loss but the downside of being so well known and a celeb, the media attention (and the wider publics) is on you.
Why fight? Seems we have fare few Black Belt Keyboard Warriors on here

when little ***** and harry mum (diana)died they knew everyone was making jokes. been in the public eye will guarantee this. would not ever think someone would be so silly to say any of them to the boys or family etc. thats plain rude. But jokes are part of our society. amazed that stephen hawkins get called a Vegetable and even after 30 mins of reporting it nothing has been done. imagine . i doubt any of us got christmas cards from JT , but many here might have sick and wheelchair bound family. so a comment like "vegetable" is far more insensitive to forum members.

Stephen Hawking a vegetable, a very smart one if he is, I don't expect he will lose much sleep over that, too busy pondering stuff most of us can't comprehend.
As for William and Harry, I am sure they did understand that some people were/are not very sympathetic, I personally was sympathetic to two young boys losing their mother but the grieve-a-thon was lost on me, an example of people going too far the other way, dignified silence is perhaps the best policy, cant say I remember any Diana Jokes of any quality, apart from the Daily Express wittering on about her every day since, now thats a fookin cracker.

Luke, I can't believe you've come onto this thread, created as a direct result of the bickering caused by your jokes on the other thread about this topic, to carry on with your whinging. Your complaint seems, in my opinion, a bit of pot calling kettle black as it appears to me that you completely missed the point of peoples complaints about your jokes. I for my own part found them offensive, not because of the fact that they were to do with JT but because people were offering condolences over the loss of a child. You talk, quite rightly in my view, about the use of a derogatory term on the Hawkins thread and make reference to the fact that members of this site might find that upsetting because of their own personal experiences/experiences. Well, did you ever stop to think for one minute that there might be people on here who have had, unfortunately, experienced the loss of a child?? My sister in law died suddenly when she was 11 and believe me, it tears people apart. It is an awful experience and one that I hope to God others don't have to experience it. I did not appreciate your jokes purely and simply because they were being made in that situation. However, I chose not to express that view publically because this is a public BBS and things like that are bound to happen. But your continued tirade against the mods and carrying on about it on this thread (and others) when it is entirely irrelevant is now, in my opinion taking it too far. If you don't like what the mods have or haven't done, take it up in policy and leave threads like this out of it, please.
AND BREATHE!!!!

Decided my comments weren't appropriate for this thread.

Hey, if you have the temerity to criticise the King of Scoobynet then you will be shot down my his many minions.
If only people could take on board that this is the thickest bully in the playground being supported by the most dull witted of members.
