    He could not make up his mind between Campagnolo or Shimano and went mental.

    Or he has read through Steelems e-bay adventure and gone mental.

    I've deleted this post in my head before I even wrote it - just to be on the safe side.

    is this supposed to be funny?
    12 people are needlessly dead , out of the blue, on a summers morning.
    how do you imagine the loved ones feel right at this moment?
    before you go to bed just try to imagine how you'd feel.

    To be fair when saymush posted his response the news was simply that a man was loose in cumbria with a gun, hence his mention of shoot up and no reference to the injuries. Check the times when he posted and the time when the 12 deaths were reported.

    Think you may owe him an apology old chap.

    I'm sure all who posted jokey responses to the original story would extend our sypathies to all the families involved, I certainly do.

    Sally can also mean to rush out; to leap into things without thought. Old bean. Toodle pip.

    Evil.
    I would kill myself too.

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

    Than never to have loved at all."

    Hi guys. I live in South Cumbria, I can appreciate the jokes but after the floods and the Keswick bus crash this is a bit too much. Please have some respect for the people who lost their lives and those who have lost loved ones. It cant be easy by any stretch. Cheers.

    Sorry for the jokes, it was early on when they were posted, I wouldn't take the mick after something majorly awful like this. Gallows humour kicks in with bad news I suoppose.

    Certainly did round our house. As I said in the other thread, one of our friends was round who's husabnd was in the first police car on the scene. She was cracking jokes far worse than that and berating people for setting up Facebook groups. When he rang he was moaning about all the paperwork they were making him do. It's a coping mechanism, isn't it?

    Yeah, taking the mickey and self deprecation jokes are a way of coping. certainly. I have been in quite a few bad situations myself, 10 minutes later people are cracking funnies and there is lots of nervous laughter. Nothing wrong with it, we just have to apply discretion.
