    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
    I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
    Music loud and women warm.
    I've been kicked around since I was born.
    And now it's all right, it's O.K.
    And you may look the other way.
    We can try to understand
    The New York Times' effect on man.
    Whether you're a brother
    Or whether you're a mother,
    You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
    Feel the city breakin'
    And ev'rybody shakin'
    And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
    Ah, ha, ha, ha,
    Stayin' alive.
    Stayin' alive.
    Ah, ha, ha, ha,

    Sad to hear that. He always seemed like a nice man when he was interviewed.

    There is something a bit chilling that someone would take a photo of a news story that appears on their TV so that they quickly post on a forum.

    The Bee Gees had some great songs. Two stars responsible for some of biggest and best disco hits from the last century gone within days of each other :(

    How in the heck are you comparing taking a pic of the sky news ticker to taking a pic of a dead person and posting it online?

    Surely the OP just took the snap to provide a source until it's on all the news sites? Tis responsible posting! :)

    Not really, I saw it on Sky News, turned my laptop around and snapped the pic. I hardly got my Nikon camera, spent hours trying to figure out the right angle, took the pic and had it developed in my dark room. Turn, snap, upload. Boom!

    No I wouldn't.

    Anyways, sad to hear Robin Gibb died. He was a good man and a great singer.

    Loved the Bee Gees.

    In one of his very last interviews here he talks about working with his son but doesn't look or sound at all well:

    After Hours is no place to be talking about the passing of music legends like Robin Gibb. Most people wouldn't know good music if it walked up and battered then in the face.

    Aww, Sad new, I had seen him on a few things earlier in the year and he didn't look good at all, but I thought he was getting better. Poor aul shite, like all cancer deaths, must have been awful!

    My sympathies go out to his wife and family!
