Annoying things people write on Facebook

The Sergeant Blackman thing is astonishing. The number of folk who seem to think we're engaged in a total war with anyone who looks a bit muslim-y, and that as a result British soldiers are entitled to behave as if they're on the Eastern Front in 1941. Lunatics.

I'm sure troops in all armies do that kind of thing pretty regularly, messy cruel business, war. It's the fact that his mate thought it would be a good idea to film it all on Go Pro that gets me.

I'd rather have a statue of a moggy than of some politician or Royal parasite. Anyway..

1) guff about US politics. It's not that I don't like Trump it's just that I don't have a vote in the US, you don't have a vote in the US, none of your friends have a vote in the US and the ones that do have elected a cnut. So too bad. And most of your friends are limp wristed liberals who agree with your views anyway so why preach to the converted? Try making facebook friends with some swivel eyed carpet chewing foaming mouthed right wing Reynard type loons and preach to them instead. 

2) one of my work colleagues will post something she's interested in (mostly Disney films) and tags her husband on the post. Why not just tell him about it face to face you silly cow. 

3) Babies/small kids. There is a truism: Children are like farts. You like your own and don't like other peoples.

4) covered before on this wonderful forum but all those Be a ware posts. Forf ux ake. 

5) I hate those speeded up films of folk making cakes etc. Do people actually watch those while cooking? Can't you just follow instructions in a fucking recipe book? 

Charles for being the first person in about 400 pages to post a Top 5.

One of my mates down south is a Chester fan and brought this to my attention.  Apparently a Morrisons down there used to be frequented by a cat that hung around the entrance, sat on trolleys etc.  It died.  Now the owner is trying to get the public to stump up 5 grand to 'immortalise' their pet in statue form outside their local supermarket:

I'm trying to raise money for a statue of Brutus at Morrisons in his memory but for some reason I don't think Facebook actually sends posts with links in to all his followers' news feeds, therefore his Just Giving page isn't really getting out there as much as it could. Here is the link below but I've put a space in it. Just copy it if you can into your browser and remove the space before 'com'. Thanks so much

Ridiculous enough, but the cause was supposedly taken up by certain Chester fans who suggested trying to organise a collection before their next home game in honour of a dead cat:

Thank you to all who contributed to the discussion on the other thread devachat.freeforums.net/thread/37/rip-sir-ken-morrison 

As mentioned we have sourced buckets and now someone has said they can sort out laminated pictures of Brutus and Ken for them. All donations will go to the crowdfunder that has raised over £2300 so far.

A few have said they will be doing the applause on the 85 minute so thank you - and I hope many of you join in.

Does anyone have contacts in the local papers who can help raise the profile of this? 

 

In case you're wondering the Ken whose memory they also apparently want to honour is Sir Ken Morrison the former chairman of Morrisons who also died recently.  He was from Yorkshire and had nothing at all to do with Chester FC.  His death seemingly just compounded the tragedy of poor Brutus's passing to the extent some Chester fans feel they need to hold a minute's applause for him.

Evidently most Chester fans are ripping the proverbial out of these ideas and the initial suggestion must surely have been a wind up.  Some are taking it deadly seriously though so tomorrow may well see some football fans in one corner of the UK collect money for a dead cat and applauding a dead grocer.

The crowdfunding effort is sitting at 2,497 quid if anyone wants to donate:

Weʼre raising £5,000 to have a statue of Brutus the Morrisons Cat made in his memory and placed in Morrisons, Saltney where he can still greet his adoring fans.

Brutus has won the hearts of thousands of local Morrisons shoppers as well as his Facebook followers from all over the world (www.facebook.com/brutusthesaltneycat). He's been visiting the store since it was built in 2010 and became a familiar face to those who regularly shopped in Morrisons, Saltney. He delighted children and adults alike with his cheeky 'cattitude', investigating shopping in people's trolleys as they left the store, jumping into cars to investigate, sneaking down the pet food aisle to see what kind of offers were on, and just generally being there daily for everyone to love and fuss. He had a gorgeous fluffy face and strutted around like he owned the place, oh and he loved the camera!
In October 2013 he was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. It's a condition he would have had since birth and sadly there is no cure. We managed this for 3 years with special food, daily medication and regular checks at Ben Jones vets. In January 2016 he became poorly and ended up in Chester Gates veterinary hospital. Luckily he pulled through that time and won their pet of the month award. His condition remained stable for another year however sadly New Years Eve 2016 was the last time Brutus was to visit Morrisons. He took another bad turn and this time, although he had another visit to Chester Gates he didn't recover and on Monday 16th January 2017 we had to make the extremely heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep.
We are devastated, but there are also thousands of devastated fans locally, nationally and internationally! The number of messages I've received have been overwhelming. It makes us happy to know that he brightened so many peoples lives. We thought that a memorial to honour Brutus is only fitting, so that people can still say hello to him and have something to remember him by. Many people have expressed their wish for something to be placed in Morrisons, so this is what we are raising the money for, plus also for local animal charities.

 

My favourite bit of this is the comments on the Crowdfunding page by people who have donated - 

"I live in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and may never see the store or the statue. I like to think, though, that I can help it become a reality that will honor Brutus "fur-ever.""

"It always made me smile when I saw Brutus in store at Morrisons. I took a photo Christmas 2016 sitting on a pile of boxes he looked like a king on his throne"

" I never met you Brutus but you made so many lives better. I hope you are plying with my niece Tabitha up there xxx"

"RIP Gorgeous Brutus. Gone but never forgotten I never met you but as a cat lover & morrisons colleague you touched my heart "

"a lovely cat my little lad loved to stroke"

"Brutus will be sorely missed. I will stroke the head of Brutus' statue as did with him. He brought a smile to my face with every trip to Morrisons."

"We'll miss seeing Brutus, he was the reason we started shopping in Morrisons Saltney. Will be lovely to see a statue there. Their little furry feet leave imprints on our hearts xxxx"

"So sorry to loose such a distinguished gentleman but all the best in reaching your target."

 

Some people have actually donated £50.00 for cat they've never met who hung around a shop they've never visited.
