jagfox Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 2 hours ago, smpar said: This might seem extremely harsh, but it does my head in nonetheless. When people have to shoehorn something - normally some kind of illness/disease - to claim that it's such a personal issue that affects nobody more than them. For example, people giving to Cancer Research because it's "personally something that has affected me and my family." Is there honestly anyone in the country that doesn't know a close friend or family member who has had cancer? See also; dementia, Alzheimer's, heart attacks and strokes. You don't see so many people bragging about AIDS these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Ewan McGregor on tv begging for money. You're richer than me Ewan, you fuckin pay up. And the 'wealthy actor giving his time for free' excuse doesn't wash either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always the best person in the world, a real salt of the earth who would do anything for anybody..... Most of the time they never leave a pot to piss in and some other poor fecker has to pay to bury them. 2 hours ago, Bold Rover said: If they were young, they always had a "bubbly personality." And wherever they lived is "a close knit community." I'd love to see comments about me if I died. "Really popular fun loving guy committed to his work, widely respected by his colleagues." When in actual fact this would be more apt; "Daft juvenile tit who dicked about at work cos he was bored as f**k". Or; "He will be missed by his community" Should be; "Cunto hasn't spoken to anyone in his block of flats let alone his fucking neighbours." Indeed taking it down to a really basic level and using an example already given; "Salt of the Earth." Should really be "Fanny." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 When a recently deceased young woman is described as "Fun loving", it's pretty much a given that means she was a slag, right? When that term is used for a young man, it means he got pissed up most nights and went looking for fights. A local woman recently caught the express lift downstairs and as she was almost universally loathed, it's been fun watching people try to come up with "nice" things to say about her. "I didn't always agree with her but I admire that she stuck to her principles." seems to be the most common platitude. Which is another way of saying "She was bitter auld cow who would start an argument with a brick wall and would never, ever admit when she was wrong even when it was blatantly obvious to absolutely everyone else" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
