The Croc Hunter got killed by a stingray.

He was stabbed in the heart by the stingray's barb.

I think it's terrible. He was only 44 and he's got a wife & two young children.

yes i heard about that and though i haven't watched his programme for ages.Still found it really sad.

Such a nice guy. I heard about it on Monday. Such a shame.

Totally top notch bloke - always brightened up my Saturday mornings on Animal Planet. I am utterly gutted he has died. He will be missed.

Crikey!

...has to be said.I would like to think that was his last one while pulling the sting ray out.

Yeh he was a legend, absolutely unique.

Yup...a complete and utter nutter but entirely loveable

I just read on AOL news that people have been carrying out revenge attacks on stringrays-mutilating them or something.

Yeah, apparently people are either killing them or cutting off the barb on their tails. I might have to miss the new simpsons tonight cos there is a tribute program on.

There were tributes from Terry Nutkins, Jono and some other E-list celebrities I don't know the names of. It also included a brief bio of his life, including his folks' fondness of reptiles etc.....a bit itv-ish really.

God bless Steve Irwin, he was a lovely bloke.

No, definitely not having a go at you. But remember, what is classed as new Simpsons on Channel 4 is propbably an episode that Sky one have hit us off with about 20 times in the past 3 months, so chances are you will have seen it? Chin up, it will also be out on DVD soon, which means you can watch them to your heart is content. I mean, have you noticed that every time you watch the Simpsons, you always see a new little something that you missed before, or something that perhaps wasnt as funny the 1st time round, totally blows you away next time? Just my observations, and the ramblings of a crazy lady. Did you still enjoy the Steve Irwin Tribute?

Thats what i'm saying, i missed it! I thought it was an hour long and was busy for the first half hour and planned on watching the second half, i was quite dissapointed. And it is rather irritating when Sky one play the same episodes of the simpsons all the time isnt it?
