I thought that said poodle.

What 's the chances that he'll end up working in the same chip shop as Elvis!

 

[hackbike 666]

In Walthamstow?

Condolences to his family. I hope I don't go at 50. Best wishes to him, he had a good life.

 

[Keith Oates]

He was a very popular entertainer but not realy my 'cup of tea'. He also seemed to have a very confused private life but now he can RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find that..... a curious thing to say. In my understanding he epitomises the tortured soul, certainly proving that money can't buy happiness.

and every publisher in the land is now calling up anybody who ever worked for him, delivered pizzas to him, or, even, slept with him....I give it three weeks for the first wave to hit the bookshops.

Most of whom were presumably young boys.

Well he no longer has any money worries now. Sad, a weird man in his later years, but supremely talented at his prime. I hope he will be remembered for the better part.

MJ dead ?
How does one write that high pitched thing OH!

 

[snapper_37]

RIP. I liked his earlier stuff. Shame he went so daft though.

As we're in the internet age, there'll be more stuff that after the death of Elvis but the talented young boy/young man that Jackson was tragically died years ago. The kiddie fiddler that passed away last night became an embarrassment long ago and the reaction to that man's death will be mixed.

And the jokes have started......

'Since Jacko was 99% plastic, they have decided against a cremation and his body will instead be melted down and recycled into Lego. Then, kids will be able to play with him for a change'
