RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted January 12, 2012 Maurice died 9 years ago today. Wonder if Robin will give up the ghost today too I reckon he will go in a years time on the 10th Anniversary of Mo's death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sympathyforthedevil 11 Posted January 12, 2012 So he's a teetotal vegan. And about to die aged 62. What does this tell us...? Bugger all. I presume you meant to say that leading a healthy lifestyle is no guarantee of living to a ripe old age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 12, 2012 I presume you meant to say that leading a healthy lifestyle is no guarantee of living to a ripe old age. Regarding the above: heard an interesting story recently. The bloke killed in Kent in the storms earlier this month was a builder, driving his van. A tree fell on the van and killed him outright but his mate in the passenger seat survived because at the moment of impact of the tree his mate was bent down in his seat, ratching on the floor to retrieve the cigarette lighter he'd just dropped. HE LIVED BECAUSE HE IS A SMOKER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryGreatness 96 Posted January 20, 2012 About to release an album commemorating 100 years since the Titanic went down http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-16632714 Interesting how every news report on Gibb that comes in mentions his intestinal issues, but forgets about his liver cancer.

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 20, 2012 He's the least musical Bee Gee and the one who hardly played an instrument on stage or record; how did he "compose" this classical master-work, by humming it to a piano player? This burst of activity smacks of downloading the repertoire before he's downloaded for all time. And that note in the story about Gibb having surgery for the same complaint that saw off Maurice; don't recall that being the issue a few months back.

JR976evil 906 Posted January 20, 2012 Having seen his latest pics find it very hard to believe he's planning to perform on stage in April. Perhaps he'll do a Tommy Cooper for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted January 20, 2012 Quote from the daily fail mail Speaking to The Mirror, a friend of the pop legend said: 'He’s very strong willed – if anyone can beat this it’s Robin.'

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted January 21, 2012 I think if we're as crass as to use "Stayin' Alive" as the basis of the pun, I've lost all faith in the wit of this forum.
