One of the many occasions when I didn't see a dead body...
that springs to mind was when Tommy Cooper died live on the telly. It seems morbid now but I was 17 at the time, most teenagers have a pretty morbid curiosity, and the whole school was buzzing with it. Absolutely everybody except me had seen it and I felt like a pariah, I can vaguely remember watching every news programme going hoping to see the moment when it happened (as if they would show THAT but hey - I was young, I knew bugger all) and being disappointed when they announced it but showed nowt. I'd be a bit more mature about the whole thing now but at the time I'd have given a goolie to have seen it.

Haven't really looked
not so sure I'd want to see it now. 20 years on I have dicovered the concept of respect.
