Sad news. A terrible to start to today's proceedings for Nelson.

Thats fucked up.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Gutting that. No age to go that.

So many sporting events have had sad events directly linked to people involved in them of late. There were the shootings in Beijing. The death of a competitor in the Winter Olympics and now this. There is always something it seems. Very sad.

Terrible news on such a momentous day for South Africa and Mandela.

You may have a point there. It always seems as though a key figure in the hosting of a major event misses either the opening or the whole event because of circumstances like this. I recall the guy who was the driving force behind France 98 died on the eve of that World Cup. Either way, that is a dampener on proceedings.

Really is sad news indeed. RIP little one.

RIP

 

It's no consolation to the family but that drunk's life is about to ( deservedly) get a whole lot shittier, the selfish prick
