I don't want to get too political but it's so sad to see the families slaughtered in Syria. Its disgusting that grown men who are trained to kill go in to homes at night and kill small kids. It makes me sick.

And the world sits back and watches it happen. Guess there is no oil in Syria.

Yeah wheres the WMD when you need them? Sad that in this case, it would be perfectly acceptable to make something like that up, yet they won't.

The right solution is not necessarily military... if that happened, innocent people would still die, as they always do. The campaign group Avaaz has one potential answer:

Today another 27 children's bodies were found massacred in Syria. To stop this horror, we need to cut off the flow of arms to the regime. There is one way to do it, but it's going to take all of us working together to make it happen.

Here’s how: India and the US are key clients to Syria’s main weapons supplier -- the state-owned Russian company Rosoboronexport. If we can get the two countries to threaten to halt all deals unless the Russians stop supporting Syria's murder machine, the arms dealers could be forced to stop their Syria sales. Both the US and India want to stop the violence in Syria, but diplomacy is failing. This is their best chance -- let's give them a massive mandate to act.

The US has already persuaded the company to stop light weapons sales to Syria. Now if we can build up the pressure on India and get both countries to speak out, Rosoboronexport could be forced to cut Syria's arms supply completely. Sign the urgent petition to stop dealing death to Syria and tell everyone -- our call will be delivered to both countries and Rosoboronexport at a massive arms fair in Paris in 3 days.

I'm very sceptical about petitions, but look it costs nothing but a few seconds to sign and even if there is a tiny chance of saving the lives of Syrian people, who wouldn't try it?

Craig Breen's co-driver Gareth Roberts was killed in today's IRC Targa Florio rally in an accident at SS8. People say the accident was very similar to the one that severely injured F1 driver Robert Kubica early last year, who is still recovering today (I can't describe the accident out of respect since it's fairly gruesome and it's still too early after this tragic development). Half of a very promising team gone, just like that. Oh no.

Northern Ireland footballing legend & QPR defender Alan McDonald died yesterday morning at the age of 48.

A man who managed Glentoran to an Irish League title a few years ago & had a shop near to me & who i had the pleasure of meeting in that shop a year ago but was a wee bit too awe struck to talk football with him.

A really sad day of Norn Iron. RIP


If God thinks this is fair , they can see me!






I'm in that crowd there.

I'm surprised that nobody else has posted about the death of Nora Ephron, the great comedy writer who wrote When Harry Met Sally amongst other Hollywood films. RIP.

[Yudster]

I came on here to do so - Norah Ephron was a wonderful screenwriter and a really funny woman. Ohno.

[DevilsDuck]

I only watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time a few years ago and it is a brilliant comedy film!

Did she also write Sleepless in Seatle, another chickromcom that was better than I was expecting!

[Bonanzoid]

One of my best mates from academy took his own life today. Even though we drifted apart over the years, it's still very sad news. He was a cracking guy and will be missed. Oh no.

For the young lad I never knew - how horrible to think that at the very start of your life you felt that it wasn't possible to live it. How we have all failed you and the hundreds of others who feel the same. Oh no. No, no no no no no no.

Comic actor and writer, Eric Sykes has died - oh no.

[Nicola_Red]

I just saw that - gutted. My ex compared my uncle to Eric Sykes and even though I'd never noticed the resemblance before, I saw it straightaway after that, so he always made me think of my uncle. RIP.
