I didn`t start the thread because `someone off the telly` is dying. Whether she is on the telly is neither here nor there, what she does as a job is pointless in this. The point was/is, someone is dying when she really shouldn`t be. She has an illness that could have been prevented. No doubt there`s thousands of others that this has happened to, but since they`re not `on the telly` we don`t hear about it. Of course i don`t know Jade, and my reaction has absolutely nothing to do with me thinking i do know her. or my own fears of mortality. I`m well aware that we`re all going to die, personally i don`t fear it, i just hope it doesn`t come too soon. ..again, back to the reason for the thread, it`s came soon for her when it didn`t have to be like that. If i was in her position (meaning in the media) i`d probably do the same thing. Because as that is her `job` so to speak, she`s able to make sure her kids are going to be ok when she`s gone. She`s basically `working from her death bed` I fail to see why that is bad taste? In my opinion, the folk that`s watching her every grimace then saying `it`s bad taste`, they`re the ones that are feared of their own mortality`

:lol: Firefox is the browser i`m using and i usually get my images from Google. I just search images for what i`m looking for. Mr Darn will be along soon, he`s a bit more savvy with this sort of thing and might be able to explain things better and while he`s on he could maybe move all this off Blank`s Birthday thread and put it in the computer section

I can not believe she is profiting from this very sad and unfortunate illness. In my mind it just shows the depths some will go to to make more than a few bob. I mean is she really doing this to raise awareness? Or is she doing this to fill her own pockets? She isn`t doing anything to fill her own pockets. Any money she is making is in a Trust Fund for her kids. She wants them to have a good education as she didn`t have one herself. That money is to safe-guard her kids future, as she won`t be here to look out for them. She`s also raising awareness so that other women won`t have to go through what she`s going through. if she really wanted to raise awareness and had a mere smidgen of scruples, she would directed a fair percentage of the vast sums she is earning to those that help cancer suffers and research, and to those who's job it is to promote awareness of the illness. She is donating money. How much i don`t know, but i know The Royal Marsden Hospital has recieved the fees that her friends got for appearing on `This Morning` and shes been giving to some cancer charities. In regards to the children - I would hazard a guess there will already be a substantial amount of money in the coffers from previous earnings After her stint in Celeb Big Brother when all that Shilpa Shetty stuff happened, her earnings stopped. No-one would have anything to do with her. Money dried up. So again this comes back to the reasons Jade is doing this and in my opinion it is all in bad taste, and has less to do with promoting the illness and bringing awareness - it's much more about the dosh going into her pocket! The money wouldn`t be much good in her pocket. Unless she was planning to take it with her?

It`s easy enough ..Find the image you want to use, right click on the image and go to `copy image location` Come back to your forum topic, click on the Insert Image icon and paste the web address of the image into it This is for Firefox anyway..

Happy Birthday Blank. Hope you had a great day!

Does this apply to all kinds of things or just computers?

Auction

Well this is it! They come to our door, start with their gobshi`e, and most folk know what is coming..but for those that don`t..best way of dealing with them is just say `Not interested` then shut the door in their faces. If they get a chance to get a word in you`ll be there for hours.Spouting their sales pitch to anyone thats interested. And i agree, there should be a law against it. They`re worse than Jehovas them lot.

:lol: :lol:

Baseball

Vampire

If i was a bloke i`d love it That`s a thing i`ve noticed with the 360, it seems very male orientated game wise..a proper blokes console. All this shooting and killing etc...I`ve never really found any girly games, other than Rockband/Guitar Hero, but even then i wouldn`t call them girly as such..more bisexual?

If it is like Dead Space i`ll not be playing on it. Cos it`s too creepy Dead space is THEE most scary game i have ever been on. I love watching other people playing on it though Dante`s Inferno does look like a good game though, if you like getting frights. I`m pretty sure there`s a film coming out too.

I would have thought that the size of the tumour would be hard to miss? Plus the fact of all the other symptoms she had. Any negligence SHOULD be in her records, but nowadays, with all the records being computerised, bits are easily changed/deleted or added to as necessary. It does happen. Anyway, time will tell. If there was negligence, i hope it is investigated.

I haven`t a clue if she had smears done. The fact she was in hospital so many times and all the scans and tests should have showed the cancer. I suppose even if there is grounds for medical negligence, there`s always a way around it anyway. Doctors tend to cover each others backs and lie through their teeth if they have to.

Everything`s ok for me. I`m using Firefox.

No-one is saying they`re braver than anyone else. Cancer is cancer, it affects everyone the same. The only difference is, when celebs get it, they make people more aware of it. One thing that has happened since Jade Goody has made it so public, is that there are thousands more women recognising the symptoms and going for smear tests. This has to be a good thing.
