Nah I'm fine up here matey, with all the other grown ups. Have fun down there won't you.Originally posted by wobbegong View PostYou really want to come down from that high horse now suity, you'll get a nosebleed, you know you will.
This thread was not in any way an attempt to trivialize or make light of the dreadful situation in Japan, rather a pi$$ take of Bryan Adams transparent attempt to kick-start his flagging career by hopping on the "Band Aid" gravy train.

You really want to come down from that high horse now suity, you'll get a nosebleed, you know you will.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostNo you are correct, it is not good. This has nothing to do with being oversensitive, just being plain decent. Can I suggest that those that contributed take a sabatical to go and help out in Japan, only a week - nothing heavy.
Then when you get back after body bagging decaying cadavers and witnessing families coming to terms with what has happened first hand you can then take the piss all you want. But I bet you don't.
My old Nan had a nice phrase, "grow up!". Says it all really.

See, I must be over sensitive too. Cos I think this is in pretty bad taste.

I have to say, I find this thread to be in the most appalling bad taste.
