Lord Cyric Just sit back and enjoy the ride...! Donating Members 1,121 Member For: 21y 1m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 08/09/06 09:04 AM Share Posted 08/09/06 09:04 AM I walked into the office the afternoon after just returning from Singapore and made the comment... "so, who's getting shot today?" What I was referring to was the latest round of headcount cuts at work... but my mate just pointed at his monitor with the SMH headline story on screen. I just wanted to throw up! Two famous aussie blokes gone in one week doing what they loved most.... enjoying life! What did we do to deserve all this punishment??? Not that I want to be the harbinger of doom, but these things tend to happen in "groups of three". If I were an aussie celebrity, I'd be myself while waiting for the other shoe to drop....

I for one will be there to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it that he was decapitated, hope that's not true as I can imagine it would have been twice as shocking to his family and co-driver and rescue crew.
