Sadly lost the wife last night and the only reason I’m posting is to make sure none of you go through the same terrible situation. She needed a blood transfusion but her blood type was not on record and I had no idea what it was. 
 

Things deteriorated very quickly and I could only hold Mrs CT’s hand and say goodbye. I will never forget how  supportive she has always been. Even as she was fading away, she kept on whispering to me, “Be positive, be positive”.

 

Summed my wife up, always thinking of others. 

 

 

Fuck’s sake, man. I thought you were being serious at first.

Fucking wanker! I nearly PM'd you the other day cos you'd said she wasn't well, and now this. 

 

At least the rest of the terrible joke crew have the DECENCY to post it in the joke thread. 

[Renton 24198]

WRONG THREAD DICK HEAD! 

 

Let's hope you don't actually experience your wife dying in reality and post the news on the joke thread.

Things have been a bit average so far this year, losing family and other stuff no one needs to hear about but thankfully even NUFC couldn't fuck up today.
This little guy is coming home with us, picture is from when we met him at 6 weeks, he's just turned 10 weeks.
@thebrokendoll let us know if you still need help with the rodents?

RIP mate.  Hope you can ameliorate this loss with a new hobby.  Maybe stand up comedian?

From my experience terriers are FUCKING MINT and I adore the naughty little bastards what a fucking mint naughty little bastard he looks like  💕

Mate he is fucking mint and as you know, we agree about terriers.

He's a Cairn, our other two were a Westie and Scottie which both are originally from the Cairn breed (Westies are the white ones they use to destroy as they weren't breed standard and Scotties are Cairns/Wire coat Fox Terrier), so lots of similarities but also different.

He's crazy, ridiculously intelligent and an absolute card, all rolled into one.

Took him 5 minutes to work out the dog door, he slept from 2000 to 0430 which is unheard of for a puppy and has been a loony all morning running around.

 

Success, we made it through the first night.

FYP

Oasis are reforming. Some people are excited, others will shrug their shoulders. The guardian says: STOP THE CELEBRATIONS!

 imagine turning up for your work photo like that.

If you get upset about most people having shite taste in music, you’re going to get upset a lot. Although his assessment in the subtitle is pretty much spot on

The Prodigy have just announced a tour here later in the year, so maybe not, he might have got the real gig.

As Alex said though, they are correct in their assessment of Oasis.

[Ayatollah Hermione 14802]

Kid at work, he’s probably mid-20s, couldn’t fathom how I wasn’t a massive Oasis fan. Like, genuinely baffled that I didn’t think they were Britain’s greatest ever band.  Through the day, I was asking him his general opinions on other bands and, out of about 25/30 bands from the Stones onwards, he’d only listened to The Jam and Catfish and the Bottlemen  If you love Oasis then fair enough but at least try and expand your tastes a little bit.

Young Ms. F. saw them at Leeds the other week. 
Best gig of the festival according to her.

I've got a mate, my age, and I'm 100% not exaggerating when I tell you that ALL he listens to is Oasis, Liam, Noel, and the Stone Roses. And that's been the case for 30 years.

 I tell a lie, this kid also likes Sam Fender because he is the lads choice for guitar music in the 2020s

Simon Price is a good lad really, you’ll know him from CM pod. The article is bollocks . He claims to be more working class than the Gallaghers, despite having a dad who had a show on bbc radio Wales and a teacher for a mum. Then he described Burnage as “leafy”  Someone on Twitter pointed out that this was about lack of media access to the Oasis at their peak. Price was house journo for the Manics at the time, he’s written a book about them etc.

 

This is good on Oasis…

Of course, I recognised Simon Price’s voice when he came on there briefly. I think Kulkarni pretty much nails it there for me. I don’t want to go on too much about it, because people like what they like. Nah, fuck it, I will bang in about it. I only ever actually owned Definitely Maybe. And after a while, I only liked Columbia, but I genuinely couldn’t care if I ever heard that again. None of their music has aged particularly well imo and it was bland as fuck in the first place.
I think I have the biggest problem with Noel, because he’s a very influential fella, thanks to the army of fuckwits who seem to think everything he says is the absolute gospel and he’s the epitome of good taste. He’s definitely a racist. And more dangerously so than more overt racism, in the way that clip describes. With his ideas of what defines ‘proper music’ (and more so in terms of what doesn’t), what it means to be working class and so on. He’s a reactionary. He’s clever enough to know exactly what’s he’s doing as well. And the media reaction too, man. It’s vomit inducing. 
I was at the funeral of a great lad on Friday. Gone way too soon. And some lass who used to live in the same street as me and the deceased got chatting to me at the wake. We’re both roughly the same age. She asked if I was going to be in the queue for Oasis tickets. She thought I was taking the piss when I said no because I don’t really like them. Like she was genuinely amazed / couldn’t get her head round it. It’s fucking weird, man. They’re not even shit. They’re much worse than that, they’re one of the most boring acts of all time.

The Stone Roses haven’t aged particularly well either.
