I know how you feel, a good friend and ex work colleague of mine passed away last weekend after attempting to climb a flag pole in his back garden during some drunken tomfoolery.

You never know what the future holds for people.

almost the same thing happened to two of my friends who were b/f and g/f... Graduated last year form uni, they were in New zealand this year doing some water extreme sport, and she died. Massive shock when I found out!!!!

Quite similar to the recently married couple and the incident in Antigua - you cant help imagining how you would feel if it was your significant other.

People will always make jokes on the internet, behind their computer screens, all part of signing up to somewhere like Pistonheads. But at the same time, its quite comforting to post something like this and read the caring replies - at least it appears to be after a few glasses of wine.

I keep thinking back to the idiotic things I did as a youngster on quad bikes, not a care in the world.

Yeh, but she may as well have been enjoying herself for the last 23 years!

My daughter is due home Saturday after a year in New Zealand and Malaysia during which time she has been bungee jumping, sky diving and all manner of deep sea diving etc.. and I have at times been worried like any parent. But as I'm sure was the case with your friends girlfriend I know my daughter lives life to the full and I would not want her to be any other way. I feel for your friend and for the family of his girlfriend.

Nothing to do with PH. The British seem to be quite unique with their 'black humour' in dealing with tragic situations. It doesnt mean that they dont care though.

Always tragic when someone young dies, especially when out doing something which should be fun.
