Danish_Reg Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I remember when i went to australia in 2003 for the rugby world cup, i went to the sunshine coast just to watch steve irwin and what a character he is. Enthusiastic, passionate about the environment, you cannot meet a nicer lad than him and he is one of a kind. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Licker I Believe it was cpatured on film. ( His best mate & right hand man, says he has seen the video & although very difficult explained the incident..His reason's being to know what went on before all The Bullshit got out.) Here's a cple interesting links wrth a cple mins mate on the subject. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/too-ea...7222101080.html http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/irwin-...7222098946.html http://www.smh.com.au/ Massive massive out pour of National Mourning & grief down under here today...The Whole nation is shattered especially here in Queensland. Talk of a state funeral & tributes poooring in from all around the world. To close uno...The World Has lost a Good Bloke, Australia has lost a cultural icon, but more importantly, His wife has lost her loving Husband & His kids have lost their doting Dad. C.R.I.K.E.Y.

GoldfishMemory Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) They've started already! Steve Irwin was asked what his favorite t.v. programme was, he replied "thunderbirds was good but stingray will always have a special place in my heart" and another The Australian government are extreamly dissapointed with Steve Irwin for not following their reccomendations a spokes person said, "wearing sunscreen is proven to protect from harmful rays".

Jimmy Nail is to sing Crocodile Shoes at the funeral. Sting was first choice but deemed inappropriate There are a few pictures and GIFS i've seen but I wont upload them as it may be deemed distasteful to some people and rightly so if they they think so, its awful whats happend but I must admit I did laugh at them, terrible I know but I cant change what I find funny. Terrible for the family, thoughts are with them though. RIP Steve Edited September 5, 2006 by ianthetoffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Its been reported that he actually wanted it to be shown, he must have said it a while ago though because I doubt he would have had the chance at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
