The grumpy thread

[rml2345]

I'm sorry to hear about your cat too RG

It's awful when something like that happens. Our last tom was hit by a car, and I'll never forget it.

[Station]

I really hate this:

 

[warren t claim]

Fucking Grand National.

 

I feel sorry for any horse who has to run that course.

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

Fucking Grand National.

 

I feel sorry for any horse who has to run that course.

 

Glad you posted that as I thought I was alone with that thought. This is not meant as a joke but Bostick are the real winners there today its quite sad really. RG Sorry to hear of your loss as I have been there 2 years ago and still think about it each day.

[cms206]

96 people died.

 

Still, because a curly headed southerner with a habit of slagging off Liverpool and Scousers says it's ok to play on the anniversary then that's that.

 

May as well buy the fucking S*n as well then. After all, long time ago. Deaths cease to matter when Alan Davies decides.

 

We'll cancel the remembrance at Anfield every year as well. May as well, there's an Arsenal fan who said it "Gets on his tits, that shit" and who thinks it's unfair to Chelsea that Liverpool won't play on April 15th and haven't done so for 20+ years.

 

 

Despite not being one of these footballist types, it boils my piss when people don't show respect where it's due; the 1971 Ibrox disaster still irks me every year when fellow "good" Catholics use it as an excuse to rip into the Rangers fans too. Out of order.

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

There is something in football that brings the worst out in people. Rugby fans and cricket fans dont behave badly

[Albert Ross]

Alan Davies? The funny bloke from telly? Get away....... how the hell could he upset anyone? I'm thinking Stephen Fry, Caroline Quentin. Am I right.? Thing is, summat shite happens EVERY day. Do we just stop living because of it? Do we bollocks. Ooo. My Dad died on a Thursday. Do I get pissed off every Thursday? Yeah.

Erm actually no. I get on with it.

[Lord Sterling]

Some cunt hit and killed our cat Torti today, were it not for someone rescuing her body from the road and calling us, we wouldn't have found her until tomorrow morning.

 

I really feel for you. Having lost 3 cats to theft/wandering off/stupid old bint poisoning a beautiful Tabby (but no evidence) in the last 2 years, I can feel what you are going through. We have 3 cats now, and the youngest (Tweedles) is cuddling me right now. Tears in my eyes.

 

+10000

 

Sorry to hear about your loss RG. My cat seems to have wandered off about 8 months or so ago. I miss her very much. She was old and I cant help feeling that she just may have gone to rest in peace somewhere but I just dont know for sure what happend to her or where she is, or even if she is still alive.

 

I feel a bit shit now.

[Lankytim]

She's probably found a nice little old lady somewhere who is feeding her fresh salmon every day and has a garage full of mice to play with.

Mrs R has always been a cat lady and has experienced the same scenario. We feel for you. Here's our Torti:

...with his mum, Ella (with the white chest). They adopted us when we moved to Cyprus three years ago; Torti had two sisters at the time, all the kittens being no more than a month old. One sister died, the other just strolled away, but the boy and his mum have stayed with us even through moving house. He's going to be scared shitless tonight with all the fireworks going off, and as if that wasn't enough Memphis chased him off the balcony earlier, when he was just settling down in relative safety. Haven't seen his mother for several hours, but no doubt they will both turn up for breakfast. No idea yet what we will do about them when we leave here. We'll most likely keep Memphis and ship her, but the cats... I don't think they'd be happy in Barrow.

 

Albert, LT, cms, Tayne: absolutely.

[Pete-M]

I'm sorry Pete, what happened was absolutely awful and not the kind of thing you'd wish on your worse enemy, but some Liverpool fans really do need to get over themselves and give it a rest as actually everyone else doesn't owe them the world.

 

Get over themselves? 96 dead and South Yorkshire Police in a blatant attempt to cover up their responsibility. The Sun publishing despicable lies about the dead and the survivors. People in this city don't buy the Sun because of the lies they published regarding Hillsborough, you know this.

 

There are thousands of people from Liverpool and around the world who visit Anfield on the anniversary of Hillsborough as a mark of remembrance. iI's right that Liverpool will not play on that date out of respect for those who died as a result of going to watch a game of football and the incompetence of South Yorkshire Police.

 

The 96 dead will not be forgotten.

[Rover414]

It works both ways, I have family who don't do anything on anniversaries of deaths of certain people, should they just "get over it"? Maybe Liverpool don't play on that date as to this day the families of the 96 still don't have the answers they're looking for so Liverpool remember the anniversary in their own way and not by playing football, just because they do this and most other teams who've had tragedies don't doesn't mean they're wrong.

 

For what its worth I thought the comments towards Alan Davies were wrong but his comments in the first place were stupid.

[cms206]

Must be the season - 60 bucks and 3 points for me this morning as well...

[Albert Ross]

Yeah. Signs that warn of "New road layout ahead"...... So how would I know if I had never driven that stretch of road before? When you drive, things are constantly changing for your attention to re-focus a hundred times a second.... That's the nature of driving.. the road is constantly changing. Pay attention!

[Lankytim]

Woke up this morning to find that someone has pushed the top off one of the brick pillars on our shared driveway. This was really nice of them, I can't think why they didn't stick around for me to thank them in person.

 

Living in an area of people who basically don't give a fuck about anything, it will of course be down to me to repair from my own pocket.

[MrDuke]

Maybe the FA could just boot Liverpool down to a lower division and expel them from cups, then they could 'remember' to their hearts' content without ballsing up other arrangements? Not that football means anything to me, but I don't see how (now proven, and nationally recognised) police cover-ups and tabloid lies justify deliberately causing annoyance to other teams?

I also wonder how many of the gobshites spewing 'threats' against a random TV bloke were even related to, or even personally knew, any of the victims of the tragedy. Football just attracts neanderthals who need an excuse to be aggressive against someone for no good reason.

I experienced a similar occasion last year - I came back from holiday to find that somebody had "scissored" all of the sunflowers in our front garden. Soon my exponentially growing leylandii will wreak their vengeance on whoever did that.

 

And replying to the comment beneath, um, have you forgot that a hundred people died in that incident? I'm not from Liverpool but I am a fan - by the same logic should Remembrance Sunday be cancelled so everybody can get another two minutes of work that morning? I don't think there's much substance behind the conspiracy theories but the aftermath of the event does archetype national antipathy towards Northeners - specifically Liverpool - a city which's "managed decline" was seriously proposed in the 1980s, remember. If the Hillsborough disaster had happened at a cricket or rugby game in the south it'd probably be a national holiday.

 

Also, new annoyance - since when has driving solely with fog and side lights been the done thing? My poor eyes!

[messerschmitt owner]

I suggested yesterday an alternative sweepstake for the horses that died! Winner could give the money to an animal charity of their choice! The gits going round asking for a £1 for a horse's name looked at me in disgust and I then told them it was a barbaric waste of time and they were condoning murder of defenceless animals.

[chaseracer]

...there isn't a history of 'shiter hooliganism in this country, massive police presence every time the Allegros meet the Audis, pubs banning drinkers from wearing FSO t-shirts and buses full of BL supporters throwing empty beer bottles at silver Golfs.

Give it time...

[rml2345]

Torx bolts. I bloody hate then.

[Louise2cv]

The vet on TV yesterday said it was because you can't immobilise a horse, so I guess the fracture gets worse? He said to put them in a sling to treat them results in pneumonia.

 

I wonder if they should cut down on the number of runners, it looks chaotic as they all bunch up together and should one fall it has at least 5 horses on top of it immediately.

[willswitchengage]

There could well be something that we don't know here, but after years of painful training for that horse I think it's pretty f*cking tragic that as soon as its racing career is over through easily treatable injury - "kill it". At least dog racers have the courtesy of at least abandoning their animals when they're too old or donating them to Battersea.

 

I don't see how bullfighting is a vile and cruel sport banned from most of Europe whereas the GN is nationally televised and celebrated... oh some posh country twats like it? I'm sure cock-fighting would contribute to the economy too if that were legalised. NARGH! INTERNET ANGRY!

Torx bolts. I bloody hate then.

 

There are so many parts on my bicycle now permanently fused to the frame due to the torx pattern being made of this amazing "light alloy" stuff.

[TagoraSX]

In short, it is inhumane to allow a horse to suffer through the kind of pain that comes from a broken leg or even a bad fracture, surgery and "recovery"

 

The break will heal but arthritis will set in and the horse will compensate by putting the weight on the opposite leg which will in time cause laminitis, as a horses' leg's are weak considering the weight they carry. This is a very painful condition which would lead to the animal being put down anyway.

 

I know this from bitter experience

[sporty-shite]

Had a phone call from my mum this afternoon to tell me that a guy who we grew up living next door to, and whose whole family have been friends throughout our lives, has been found dead at the bottom of the stairs leading to his flat. He was 44.

 

I'm stunned and gutted. He was a great guy, who never caused anyone harm. I really really would like some good news now, but I doubt I'll get any.

Comparing a two minute silence to remember the sacrifice of millions of people to protect our way of life to hillsborough is exactly the sort of hyperbole that makes people unsympathetic to the continuing refusal to play on the anniversary.

 

 

I don't think they should have to play, but I also think Chelsea should have refused to play too.

[Pete-M]

I can't be doing with any more of this shit in here.

 

Having a laugh with shite old cars is different from telling people they should "get over themselves" when it comes to 96 dead.

 

Have fun.

Dude, think about what you're saying! 96 people died that day and you're complaining about timetabling difficulties due to one community wishing to honour their dead. That's nearly twice as many that died in the London bombings - in what's essentially an industrial accident - a silence is observed for the latter, so why shouldn't one community be allowed to observe one for the former?

 

In terms of league timetabling then Chelsea misfortune occurs all the time. Multi-cup teams all the time get this kind of dilemma but if you enter that many competitions then you have to pay the price, and clearly the best resourced team will obviosuly end up the winner. Liverpool for example has faced far more cup games than other teams and partially due to this their league performance has been dire.
