Has Bruce Forsyth died?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Forsyth
Can anybody tell me if that's true?
It looks suspiciously like a fake, But i don't know.

Sources say that Forsyth was entertaining a group of friends on the 7th. Always the joker, Forsyth stopped at the top of his stairs and pulled his classic "Thinker" pose putting his leg into muscular spasm. This caused him to topple down the stairs and the shock caused a heart attack. He was rushed to hospital where doctors battled to save him but eventually he died in the early hours of the next day.
If you're even slightly believing that....
I have some funds in a Nigerian bank account I need to transfer, can you help me?
Well you never can tell whats the truth and whats not nowadays.
No, dear :rolleyes:
If Brucie had sadly left us it would be all over Sky and BBC news - specially BBC - from the minute it was discovered it had happened.
So there's your answer.
I'm not so sure they'd bother. I think the OP is simply hoping that one of Bruce's neighbours is online and would be able to confirm it for them.
Seriously, fake death rumours are rife on Wikipedia. Instead of starting new threads which will only serve to spread the rumour further, how about checking on a site such as www.bbc.co.uk/news first?
Apart from Brucie's neighbours and family friends, the rest of us would only know this stuff if it were posted on a reliable news site first.
In all fairness, you should have the common sense to look into it for yourself before such a stupid heartless post.
Yeah, and can the OP please deposit 10,000 into an account to help build a school for disadvantaged children in the Third World...:rolleyes:
That site sucks. I tried correcting the height of an actor whom I met. Wiki had him as 6 foot, yet he was about 5 foot 8.
Five minutes after changing it, Wiki sent me a message saying angrily, 'you must provide proof that your imformation is true.:mad:'
I said, fluck it, do it yourself, you ungrateful ****.:p
Sorry, that's made me laugh. How can you honestly think that, despite the lack of any news stories on any news site or TV, and looking at the description of Brucie's supposed 'accident', you still think 'Oh, that might be true'.
Do you need any drives done?
Wikipedia in the past have reported the 'deaths' of Annie Lennox and Vernon Kay so it is hardly a reliable source.
Wikipeida aren't a reliable news source. It's sick, really.
It is far more than that. It happens to celebrities, and probably a few not so famous people on a daily basis. Most of the time people spot the vandalism and revert it before anyone can take it seriously, not that many people would take it seriously in the first place.
I sometimes think that agents of celebs might do the vandalism, then spread the rumour, simply so they can very publicly deny it and get them a bit of easy publicity.
According to Wikipedia, a lot of celebrities are guilty of all kinds of crimes, and dubious sexual behaviour, and I seem to recall Prince Philip's page once said he and the Queen had been caught doing the dirty on the kitchen table at Balmoral!:D
At least the "death" vanalism is obviously made up and even if anyone is gullible enough to believe it at first, it is easy enough to disprove. The more subtle vandalism is more difficult to spot, but everyone should be careful of what they believe on Wikipedia. Always check the history to get an idea of whether or not the information is new, or if people disagree.
Bit like this thread.:(
.. which is why it took me 24 hrs to be convinced that Michael Jackson had died
ah! i too have been dressed down by some wikiwankers....i also tried to change something about the pet shop boys and was messaged, info incorrect, supply proof
i messaged back contact details for psb office and asked them to ring for confirmation ungreatful fluckwit twwats....:D
My edit still stands!!
It's not an easy straight forward process to change.
I am sure you can do better since you seem well versed in changing Wiki info. [Is that why you are called 'big nose'?]
At anyrate. The whole page should be removed in my opinion.
