And there was me expecting a thread about the oft-injured Halifax second row from days of yore.

a good day to bury bad news.

(so to speak)

Meh, I didn't know their names.

Hope they play "I'm forever blowing Bubbles" at his funeral.

was this world wide?

Leon: Hi, I'm Michael Jackson, from The Jacksons.

Homer: I'm Homer Simpson, from The Simpsons.

In 1991, he starred in the Simpsons episode Stark Raving Dad as Leon Kompowski, a big fat mental patient that believes he is Michael Jackson. After his release, he helps Bart write a song Lisa - Happy Birthday Lisa.

Jackson also wrote and produced the hit song, Do the Bartman, released in 1990.

Always wanted to know that!

Well now you know - PS Michael Jackson is not dead, he's just sleeping - That what I told my kids when the Dog Died.

For a minute there I thought this was a thread about the former Sheffield and Great Britain second rower...

I was been kinda serious!I do feel for rob and the other fanatic fans! I lived and breathed grunge and especially nirvana as I said before that gutted me when cobain died so I'm sure true jacko fans will be in a bad place!! They are as hardcore as you get! I'm sure rob will get through it!!

good one
