    Does anyone know why there's a book and lit candle on a table in the SU Building?

    Is it a book of condolence?

    I don't know about that specific book, but they've had them in the past for student or alumni deaths.

    There are 2.

    One for Jimmy Falvey who died in New York in May and one for Sara Louise Ryan, who also died in May. Both were current students.

    Do you not think that comment you made is in bad taste? It's a respectful book of condolence for two former students.

    Fair comment & maybe attaching a :D wasn't the best idea, however I meant no disrespect and Keith Floyd's passing deserves to be mourned. Patrick Swazye, I'm still on the fence about :eek:

    Keep your views to yourself. Death is a very sensitive issue. Any death deserves to be mourned, and is by Swazye's family and friends. Whether or not you feel he made a contribution to the world is your own concern but he was a human being -just as you are.

    We're all entitled to our views and I won't be lectured by you or anyone else. Wind the neck in and engage brain before mouth. I'm very well acquainted with death in all its guises both violent and otherwise, hence the dark sense of humour. I'm done with you now.

    And nobody is denying that. What people are asking is that you have a little respect for the families of the two students who passed away. This is not the thread for humour, dark or otherwise.
