Any News on Richards Death

[Bazzeroo]

I read this topic coz I thought it was about someone most of us would know like Richard of Richards Bar in Bangkok. Instead its about some old queen who none of us know who happened to die holidaying in Thailand.

Thats a bit harsh

How? I did see Richard's show in Blackpool (once - and quite enough that was) and was staggered to read that the death of some two-bit entertainer from the English provinces is worthy of a thread in Gay Thailand. Or was he a prolific poster to online forums about gay Thailand and we knew him as, say, Thai Dyed (yes, I did intend that tasteless pun)

slight contridiction "some old queen who none of us know" you do know of him as you have seen his show,
"two bit entertainer" thats a matter of opinion

this man has died whilst on holiday, a man who many people in Thailand know as he has been a regular visitor for many years. I just felt your comment was a bit insensitive maybe you read it by accident but you chose to leave the harsh comment.

Richard was a good customer of the old Krazy Dragon and many of the bars are Pattaya he spent at least 2-3 months in Pattaya over the English winter for as long as I can remember and thats the last 10 years.

Hello Mark.
Nice to see you back on the board.

So Richard worked the summer season in Blackpool and made enough money to spend the winter in Thailand. Sounds to me like someone who got life just about right. So be quiet Kommiekins.

So we've got precisely one poster here who knew this person (as opposed to two (including me) who knew of him, neither in connection with Thailand).

Shakespeare was from the English provinces.
Jack the Ripper was from London.

It's clear the gentleman was unknown to you. Let's hope he was unknown BY you also.

Shakespeare was from the English provinces.

And had the good sense to escape them as quickly as possible, making his home in London and his artistic headquarters at the Globe Theatre there.

Anyone who knew Richard knows what a kind, caring and gregarious man he was. He has not even been burried yet and the bitter, sad lonely old queens come out from under a rock to spew their venom. Richard didn't participate on any of the gay boards. He had something that most of you sad pathetic cunts don't have ( and probably never did have!) a LIFE...
When I read some of the comments from some posters it reinforced my long held belief of what a sad pathetic place filled with tragic old queens the 'gay world' really is. If you knew Richard you should pass on your respects to his family and friends. If you didn't know Richard you should keep your queenie, bitter mouth shut and mind your own business.
