I’m not sure if it was him who set up the just giving page or not, he never specified. John McCabe, Spartans club secretary, told the BBC Scotland news website, how Mr O'Grady was at the club when he heard the news of the fire. He said: "Grim saw smoke in the distance and made a joke saying 'I hope it isn't my house' and then five minutes later his son phoned and said it was their house on fire. "He was in an awful panic as he was worried about his pets. "His whole house is gutted and his family only have the clothes on their backs, they have lost everything else. "He is such a great man that we felt we must help him in any way we can so he can buy food and clothes and pay for accommodation." He added: "We have had a big response from the community in just 12 hours with donations and even Central Taxis has given him taxi vouchers so he can get around during this hard time. "He does so much for people in north Edinburgh that they want to help him." The football club started the collection with a contribution of £500 and a Just Giving page set up has now had almost £3,500 worth of donations. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it was still investigating the cause of the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t specifically ask for it. Someone spammed every forum/sub forum in here razing awareness about Grim’s mishap and linked to the just giving and the news story etc. Btw, in lieu of anything else happening on this thread, a greenie for anyone who guesses the name of the P+B poster who shares his / her name with the bird (left one) in this picture.

tongue_tied_danny Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I do recall that the whole Grimbo thing had been largely forgotten until Cults Sheep dragged it up again, got banned, then had the most spectacular meltdown imaginable.

That was one of the most poignant episodes on the forum. If someone had sneakily filmed it and edited in the increasingly desolate posts, it could have won at Cannes.

Addie Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Whoa - wait a fuckin minute here! Did I just read that P&B members donated money to Grimbo over a story on the internet? And he spent it on a cruise??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbo sometimes played along with it though and joked about it himself, then other times would take offence. As a starting point it’s absolutely not nice to read a joke about your pets being killed but dark humour is a coping mechanism and Grim seemed well aware of this and often played along yet could turn it into “woe is me” at other times.

While some of the comments could have been seen as taking things too far, it's worth acknowledging that posters only started getting that harsh on him at the point where he was making jokes about going on holidays with other people's money with a resentful, arrogant tone, beyond just stating the facts of owning a second home and going on a cruise. He brought every bit of stick he got on himself, with his persecution complex always kicking in after he instigated every discussion about the subject with thinly veiled comments that were intended to send a massive get it up you to everyone who had an issue with his conduct, rather than being limited to just making threads about himself like the narcissistic w****r he clearly is.

SlipperyP Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Grimbo was a good c**t, just twished lots of posters up the wrong way. If half of you knew him personally (which I don't apart from PMs) you would change your perception rather quickly. The things he does of his own back in his local community is a touch of greatness. Something you sniping cheapshots can only dream. How he whipped you all up was class.Long live GrimboSlip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
