George Michael

And as per usual the same posters take the thread off track and turn it onto a forum poster.

Nice deflection Phil 👍🏻

Blimey looks like the whole fan clubs out 😂

There does only ever seem to be 1 common denominator 🤔

Stop speaking the truth Mr Fish ........... unless of course you have proof! :thup:

Happens too much IMO.

What is it exactly that has been said that is that "low" ? Can you highlight the exact post please.

No one has been "disrespectful" about anyone

Or is it simply a case of someone looking to be offended over absolutely nothing.

Oh I'm not easily offended. And I feel genuinely sorry for you if you can't see it. It's about propriety, things like basic manners.

Seems all the philanthropy that has been mentioned in the press, and some I'm sure will never be made public not getting in the way of those determined to look for the worse in everyone. Pretty sure most of us have stuff we'd rather not be revealed once we die, and can't see any difference because of fame. I know plenty with addiction issues (me included) and some have dealt with them better than others

Here is a list of things that people posted before me about George Micheal on this thread

despite all his troubles he certainly could sing

I suppose the lifestyle brings it on.....

yes he had his demons

sadly with some issues.

made too much money when too young and chose to take too much funny stuff.


Then i said this

very talented musicians and their music will be missed but questionable lifestyles will more than likely contributed to their early leaving.

Then someone else started talking about his drug abuse and also about the infamous incident

Well reported drug addiction back in the day. Indeed the current thinking was he had a heroin addiction. Pretty sure alcohol has had a part to play.

I do remember the death of his mother derailed him and led him to the toilets where the infamous 'incident' took place.

Is that questionable enough?

I would suspect the same type of lifestyle across the music industry has helped contribute to this annus horribilis.


Then i mentioned the drug abuse as well and then you started going on about my timing being appalling and debating his past being a new low ?!!?

So people had already mentioned his lifestyle before me and someone had mentioned his drug abuse etc before - yet im the one that get the flak ? or maybe people only react when i say it. Surely not

You're so easily offended

Poor old you Phil,and to think you give up so much of your time to offer such blooming great debate on the forum.

👍🏻

I heard today George choked on a chocolate bar and died, apparently it was a careless wispa.

Ever feel like you've wasted your time?

Oh dear Stu not you as well.

He's obviously just attention seeking after reading the other posts 😳

 

[Qwerty]

I wasn't a huge fan of his music but I'm enjoying the show on Beeb 1 right now, a superb unique voice.

You can take this as constructive criticism or as getting at you, it's up to you.

The problem with your posting is that you come over as someone who puts them self very high up on their horse always taking the moral high ground. You will probably throw this back at me suggesting that I am worse than you, that may be the case but the difference is I don't consider myself perfect.

Same here. Wonderful voice but songs a bit samey for my taste.

Mmm, but everyone has their own standards Paul. Those that have played a fair bit of golf with me will know my humour can be sharp, and I can be irreverent to the nth degree, just not in public. And when I am irreverent, its in company I know, not broadcast to the world.

I tend to take Pokerjoke's line. What if one of a deceased's close friends or family reads it? Do they really need to see something like that at such a painful time?

Agreed, it was looking at the Carrie Fisher thread that disappointed me, the black humour I'm quite thick skinned over, we all deal with it in our own way.
