Was'nt sure whether to use pissed off or sad thread ?.........Just watched lunchtime news it featured a story about a Father who posted a film of his teenage daughter who has Downs Syndrome online dancing.It seems he was trolled and received disgusting comments about the film.What sort of people would do such things,it is totally beyond me..........sad individuals,they should be totally ashamed of themselves..... >:(... :'(....

I read the story somewhere and watched the video online - It was at Spurs' new stadium and the daughter was just ecstatic at having been there..

But I am going to say this should have been posted in the 'What makes you smile/happy thread?' thread .. The dancing girl was just showing unbridled joy, you dont see that often enough in this miserable world, whilst the Dad stood his ground and called out all the trolls - giving them his phone number telling them to call him rather than hide behind a keyboard - good on him. Subsequently the support he got (Not to mention the trolls backing down) just goes to show that there are more decent people in the world that there are wankers. And finally I believe the  girl got tickets to the next match and an invitation to a Spurs 'Legends' dinner :-)

That kind of reaction makes me happy!

Damn.  The most exciting news we've had in a year or two and this Forum is still so low on new comments...  :-[

Watching the news of the two Network Rail workers killed today in Wales,i know accidents happen we are human,fallible............BUT surely in this day and age with all it's Tech.and lessons learned from the past (these things were more common in the past)........this really should not have happened...Family lives destroyed...i hope this is the last tragic event of it's kind and really hope it was not down to cost cutting.My prayers and thoughts are with their families and friends.RIP.

I can't believe that i'm again too late to book the Hamburg Markthalle gig this year. I'm leaving Hamburg in September, but my son is living here so i thought it would be cool to take him to his first nma gig and we could meet again in oktober. :'(

I do think so, too. And to be prepared for that, i now express my wish to Viv which often came to mind when reading the insults and arguments of the american: Please Viv, can we have a facepalm-emoji !?  ;)

Right now, at this very minute, I should be at a sold-out NMA gig in Chester, all drunk and sweaty and loving what the lads are bringing to their devoted fanbase... but 'personal circumstances' mean that I couldn't make it.   :'(

Oh well.  Nottingham ticket / hotel / transport is already paid for, I will be there, it'd kill me not to make Nottingham at Christmas... see you lovely lot there!

oh dear buddy, that's sad to read. i hope you are over it and that the reason for it is already vanishing and you can look up for the future to come. that reminded me of the one gig i missed, i had the card for the concert, but my girlfriend broke up with me on that day and i was so devastated that i couldn't go.

I know this local lad. He went through the school I work in and I used to work with his mum at Asda.

I'm asking The Family here who live/work/play in the Birmingham and Bristol areas to keep an eye out for this lad. It is feared by his mum that he has got himself mixed up in something he can't get out of easily.

Please, if you see him,message me here or use my facebook (Pagan Dawn) page to link to his mum.

Whooosshhhh !!!

Deeply saddened by the volcanic eruption here in New Zealand. Just visited White Island not long ago. Two of my friends work as guides on the island. One of them is now in an induced coma in critical condition but at least she's alive. Hoping that she pulls through.
