BOND ACTOR SIR Roger Moore has died at the age of 89.
His family said in a statement today that he passed away following a short battle with cancer.
“It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that our loving father, Sir Roger Moore, has passed away today in Switzerland after a short but brave battle with cancer. The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone.
“We know our own love and admiration will be magnified many times over, across the world, by people who knew him for his films, his television shows and his passionate work for UNICEF which he considered to be his greatest achievement.”
He is survived by his wife Kristina and children Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian.

Wow, that shade of green is only stunning against the flood water! Hats off to the Interior Designer!
Why do we keep running down the citizens of Ireland? Would anyone PLEASE tell me?
We have immigrants we do not want rammed down our throats, who only want the benefits of living here, they have no interest whatever in the Irish people or the Irish culture, so they bring all their prejudices, likes and hates with them, while the Irish are not allowed to have any say in anything to do with them on pain of being racist. Try going to Africa and see Racism at its worst, towards anyone not of native birth.
We are whinged and whined at about our “intolerance towards every type of pervert known to human kind. It is your right to feel as you want to feel, it is only when you actually attack these pervs that you are committing a crime. Tell me, have any of you ever had the dubious pleasure of the unwanted interest of one of these pervs? Well I have, and I dont like them, I dont want to see them act like couples in the street I dont want the pervs giving my grandchildren unwanted attention. Am I an evil bastard? I am only saying what others fear to say. Take your PC crap and shove it where it belongs.
