Will this sadness ever end 2

RideOnTime

Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins

The Northern Irishman's flamboyant style earned him legions of fans, but even in his heyday his excessive drinking meant he only won two World Championships.

Widely acknowledged as being the most naturally-talented player of his generation, he earned millions, but drank it all away. By 2009 he was living in a caravan, and the year after needed friends to raise money for teeth implants to help him put on weight and avoid death. His weight had dropped below 7 stone.

Deep sadness the money was raised but Higgins was never well enough to have the implants, and he died in July 2010.

Often forgotten was Higgins keen interest in cycling! a sad loss.

Dave 'the whippet' Cunningham

Died on 12 Mar 12 in traumatic circumstances after trying to finger a cow while on holiday in Greece. Considered the 'least awkward' of 7 children his parents were very proud of his success as a 'Knitting Radar' forum moderator.

He once rode a bike, but the saddle made his bum a bit sore for a day or so.

RIP Dave. My totally sincere condolences and thoughts go out to all his family and friends, especially the cow.

I don't believe this. He never was seen on a bike.

He's definitely been on a bike but the story falls down re the cow. They can't afford cows in Greece.

The cow was also on holiday. It's a very popular bovine destination. As in the Blur lyric '..following the herd down to Greece, on holiday'...' from the track 'Boys and Girls'.

Not as popular as Jersey in the bovine world, I'll think you'll find.

but maybe the cow failed the jumping competition for entry

That's a common tale about the death of Dave "The Whippet" Cuningham, but not strictly true. Grease was what he dipped his finger in to smear on his tadger before giving the cow a seeing to, not where the incident happened. That was in fact in Hereford, the number one holiday destination for cows who like to swing. Dave was always one to go to the limits in pursuit of his pleasures, and it was letting the cow go on top that led to the unfortunate incident which resulted in his sad demise.

Also, Dave was not a cyclist. The Colnago in the field belonged to the cow.

This year's Cow Survey results are in and Greece continues to remain the favourite bovine holiday destination, however visitors are advised to be aware of human sex tourists looking for a bit of 'finger action'. Jersey slipped to 3rd place (from 2nd last year) overtaken by Ireland due mainly to the large increase in stag weekends looking for fat Irish cows.

Have some respect. This is a serious thread for people struggling to come to terms with their loss. I suggest you take your mirth to an udder thread.

I don't believe this can be true. The MMB once co sponsored a Colnago team. There was a bitter dispute. I can't imagine a cow being seen dead on one now.

But if it were, I'm sure you'd start a thread about it.

To get slightly back on topic. Man is very talented at snooker. Has the good fortune to make lots of money with talent. Man decides to p1ss it all up against a wall and drink himself to death in the process. ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY FOR HIM WHATSOEVER !!

Like Geoge Best. Great footballer, but what a WASTER !!

A bit like Aggie. He's got a Doctorate in Nuclear Physics and he spends most of his time searching for pics of chicks on the internet. The rest of his time he just wastes.
