Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter, Is Dead

[Sundayrain]

Me too.

If we have satellite here in the US, what channel is it that we are looking for? We've got it, but I really never watch it (the husband has it for sports) so I'm not sure what to look for.

Just thought I'd ask, otherwise I'll just wait until it's on Animal Planet.

Let me make a phone call and see.......be right back

 

[Sundayrain]

I must be just dreaming.......because nope.......we just checked .......not until 9PM
even with the 300 plus channels......and still coming on Animal Planet.
So I guess my great idea wouldn't have worked......
Well.......we tried.

Channel 9 is reporting live from the zoo.........people are arriving already.
Little Kostya Tziu and Greg Norman will be attending .....they are also mentioning Rusty Crowe...........bugger ..hubby is just home from work and has decided to watch something he taped....this is not good.......Ill be back after I sort this out

WOW thats a brave hubby you have there or should that be a verry silly one!!

Thank you Sun! I just checked through a bazillion crazy channels and nothing. My husband said you'd have to have a large satellite and it would have to be pointed in the proper direction. I can wait until Animal planet.


I do wonder if it will be online?

Here's two cartoons I got today, I thought they were really sweet and wanted to share. I truly believe he has a special place in heaven.

(These seem to be coming out as links, sorry about that)

I thought you guys would get it live for sure.....what a bummer.......we have it on 3 channels and we only have 5 free to air channels.

STANDING OVATION for John Williamson ........ "TRUE BLUE"

I thought I'd find the lyrics for you non-aussies .
This song is an icon in itself in aussieland.


Hey True Blue, don't say you've gone
Say you've knocked off for a smoko
And you'll be back la-ater on
Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue

Give it to me straight, face to face
Are you really disappearing
Just another dy-ying race
Hey True Blue

True Blue, is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a co-ockatoo
Is it standin' by your mate when he's in a fight
Or just Vegemi-ite
True-ue-ue Blue, I'm a-asking you

Hey True Blue, can you bear the load
Will you tie it up with wire
Just to keep the show on the road
Hey True Blue
Hey True Blue, now be Fair Dinkum

Is your heart still there
If they sell us out like sponge cake
Do you rea-eally care
Hey True Blue

True Blue, is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a co-ockatoo
Is it standin' by your mate when she's in a fight
Or just Vegemi-ite
True-ue-ue Blue, I'm a-asking you...

True Blue, is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a co-ockatoo
Is it standin' by your mate when he's in a fi-ight
Or just Vegemi-ite
True-ue-ue Blue, True-ue-ue Blue

My day is shattered, got a headache from crying too much.

It was a great memorial, the end was especially sad, had lots of pics of the family together, break your heart it would.

Terri kept it together, but you could see she was in pain...

God love him.

 

[dingo]

OMG........what a special little girl Bindi is...poor Terri...she is just heartbroken.
I broke down when they drove his old ute away.that really got to me.

 

[narlacat]

Yep, that was really sad....

What about the flowers spelling out Crikey, that was cool....

 

[aussieblue]

A MUST WATCH

That was so well done, so beautiful and best of all SOOOOOOOO AUSSIE!!!!!!!!

Humour, music, heart-felt moments, honesty, so genuine (tears, laughter and memories) .... Steve would have loved it all.

Well done to all who organised it.

They did an amazing job putting this memorial together. I had tears in my eyes and it was terribly moving.I think it was personal as well as public.Poor Terri looks shattered as does Steve's Dad but little Bindi did a great job. I am glad they kept it Small rather than a huge affair and that the media were not allowed to run the show. It was for the people.RIP STeve.:croc:

US News Queen to meet Terri Irwin.


If Terri wasn't American, I would be offended by this.

BW didn't even know the name of his son, weak.

Edit to add:
Whoops, maybe BW is Canadian, now I am offended lol

 

[Sundayrain]

Are you all ok?
What a hard morning for you.........
I am so proud of Little Bindi. It sounds like it was such a beautiful Memorial.
I will be seeing it soon......in less then 45 min.( I can hardly believe I just had to watch Ahmadinejad President of Iran.......and his UN speech. )................
Will it replay tonight for you? It is going to be shown twice here tonight.
Hugs to you.......
