On the back of another post, I'm afraid I found it tasteless and unnecessary as well.
I totally understand gallows humour, however wishing anyone's death, whether in jest or not is beyond a certain boundary.
It reminds me of a local incident here in Derby where a teenage boy committed suicide by jumping off the shopping centre, whilst a crowd bayed at him to just go ahead and jump![]()
A sickening example of how cruel society has become.
I appreciate that people are entitled to their opinions. Entitlement does not necessarily mean that it should be voiced, particularly when they could cause distress.
Think for a minute, how much nicer would society be if just for once, you praised instead of chastised; stayed quiet instead of voicing a contraversial opinion; relayed positive news instead of rumours; stopped to check that the person who tripped was okay instead of hurrying by and stifling a giggle; complimented a stranger instead of avoided them?
Life isn't all about fluff, I know but that's only because we choose to delight in other's misfortune.

Minx, I think most people on the forum know that the person I hold in highest regard is my stepdaughter.
At age 8 she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia, at the time she had almost waist length hair that she lost due to chemo. I think we ladies in the family found it so difficult as her hair was stunning, she ... well she used to pull it out by the handful and drop it on us laughing!
She smiled through the pain, she played tricks on us, she laughed.
She went into remission, we booked a lifetime trip to the US centred around her and 6 weeks prior to us going out, she relapsed. On hearing the news, her attitude was "I've done it once, I'll do it again" and she smiled and laughed her way through what must have been devastating news to a 11 year old! She was gutted not to be able to go to the US, but her outlook was ... so we can book when I beat this!
The cancer was even more aggresive, she needed chemo, had radio and was told a Bone Marrow Transplant was necessary. She knew in her heart that it was a chance in a million, but she carried on smiling.
Our luck was in, she got her donor, and was told 10% chance of surviving the procedure, and if that worked 50/50 chance until the first year was passed. Through pain, heartbreak (chemo/radio robbed her fertility), seizures, blisters, she smiled and laughed.
A potential setback just prior to her year anniversary had us all running scared, she smiled, she waited.
She passed her first anniversary in Dec, she is well, has a normal life again (bar a weak immune system).
She is 13, spent almost 5 years battling this god awful disease, she has laughed, smiled, giggled her way through determined not to let it beat her. She's seen fellow sufferers deteriorate and die![]()
She faces adversity with a smile, shames me for moaning when my head aches, she lights up a room with her grin and sunny outlook. She was ridiculed on return to school (on the bus) and she stood up and removed her hat and rubbed her bald head! Pride is a powerful weapon ;)
Can we laugh through adversity .... sometimes it is the best way.

My god Minxy, if we didn't laugh at times like that (and this) we would be lining up to top ourselves.
My Mum is a breast cancer survivor and has had a mastectomy. She lost and ear-ring on holiday and she and I were in stitches at one point when I suggested she have her remaining nipple pierced so she could use the ear-ring she has left.
She's nearly 80.

People laugh at different things in different situations.
My father died 2 weeks after my daughter was born and I drove back to England for the funeral a couple of weeks after driving back to be there when he actually died.
I was totally exhausted by the day of the funeral.
My sister wanted to festoon the coffin with expensive wreaths and generally throw loads of money at the thing to express her grief !!
My daughters name is the name of a plant so I suggested that the coffin should have a single flower from that plant placed on it. As the particular flower was out of season the florist managed to "manufacture" a substitute from another type of flower.
There were a lot of people at my Dads funeral and, of course most of them didn`t know my daughters name and when they were told why the single bloom was on the coffin, I don`t think a single person manged to keep back the tears.
I found the whole situation hilariously funny especially as it annoyed my sister so much.
I could just imagine my Dad having a little chuckle about it while defending her to the hilt![]()
We all laugh at different stuff ...If you don`t find something funny, say your piece and move on.
Maybe Bens comment was made deliberately to wind people up.....I don`t knowBut always remember, it only works if somebody bites.

getting back to topic....may I say Wendy Richards brought many of us many moments of great humour in "Are you being served" and entertained us with drama in Eastenders...and so will be sadly missed by many.

yea....has to be said found it distastefull and disrespectfull. each to their own but I could not see he humour in it. Makes me think why the need to post such a comment ? would have been easy to just move onto he next topic. Surely they knew that it would cause a stir and others would find it distastefull. Maybe it was just a "look at me...i'm such a rebel " post..

Like DG I like freedom of speech, when it's in it's right place.
I find jokes about urging someone one to die very distasteful indeed, someone tell me where's the humour in that??![]()
I'm on the wrong planet, clearly.
