does that = you've got to be a cunt? I don't think it does. But there you were, being a cunt. My boss has an a daughter who has Autism, she isn't really aware that some of the things she says can sound bang out of order, she just says them because that's what comes to her mind and she says the first thing on her mind, without bringing in other peoples feelings. What's your excuse?

The tyranny of collective ersatz grief got on my nerves in 1997 when Diana croaked and it got on my nerves yesterday too. The convention seems to be now not only that you can't speak ill of the dead, but that you can't talk about any external consequences of the death (and yes, I realise the chap in question is not dead, but stable) of a youthful public figure until a certain, unspecifiable, period of time has elapsed.

Internet intolerence. LOL. Should it be tolerated...
I remember being at WHL and a minutes' silence was announced for someone called Ken Bigley - a scouser working in Iraq (who'd just been beheaded, iirc) and who the BBC portrayed in news bulletins as some noble beast: he was basically an economic mercenary who took a gamble in a war zone. The whole crowd stood up like lemmings. Huge pressure to conform on these momentary emotional peaks.
I did hear Glenda also tried to get a minutes' silence for his departed dog... probably a little unfair.

Quite. And lol.
The link between thuggery and gross sentimentalism is well known, football fandom seems to lean the same way.

There's a huge difference between the self-induced hysteria and emotional pornography that surrounded Diana's death (with people saying it was like "one of their family" had died - urgh) and people feeling and expressing a totally reasonable level of empathy and concern for a young man who had apparently dropped dead in front of them as they were watching the match. Perhaps you saw things elsewhere that got you so riled, but all I saw on here was a proportional human response, not irrational mob-melodrama.

Chelsea if we beat them next time round, anyway.

Biggest game of the season so far, I suppose. Lest you didn't know, it's the early kick off tomorrow at 12.45 - win it and the gap is 8 points with 8 to go...

Well, ok; the nightmare run of fixtures now ends, and the run-in begins - glad and a little surprised to be comfortably 4th and still with more than a sniff of 3rd.
Fwiw, I'd take our last eight games over what both Chelsea and the goons have - obv. 3rd is pref to 4th as we'd avoid the Young Boys scenario <shudder>. 5th, well, that would be disappointing now in all the circs.
