Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Ended up spending the rest of the evening watching several races from the 2006 MotoGP World Championship. Of course, there was an awful lot of Nicky in the footage, showing his fearless style, his smiles and laughs, his uncharacteristic rage when his own teammate Pedrosa took himself and Nicky out with two races to go, allowing Vale to lead the Championship. For a moment there I was caught up again in the action and forgotten he'd gone. He lived for bikes and family, and he certainly packed in some living.

 

Just cannot find the words

 

Absolutely sickening. Cannot find any other words.

 

It's appalling. My daughter went to her concert on Thursday night. I can't begin to understand how the parents and families are feeling.

RIP

 

22 dead.

 

Fatalities up to 22

Attacker died at scene.

RIP to 21 of those who have lost their lives.

Rot in hell to the other

 

You see I wish the attacker had survived with horrid injuries, and spent the rest of his ( or her) days in pain and in solitary confinement.

 

I was crying on the way in to work as Chris Evans was reading messages from all over the world, many of them Mancunians who had emigrated.

We have to remember that there is more good in the world than evil, though on days like today it's hard to believe that. Condolences to all those affected, including Ariane Grande who is only 23 herself. I can't imagine how she's feeling.

 

You speak for all of us, I'm sure. Usual extraordinary stories of "ordinary people" offering help reminds us of the good. I wished we didn't need those stories, of course.

 

Terrible, terrible events. To target a concert with a lot of teenagers and children present is evil. It's heartbreaking listening to parents on the radio this morning who can't contact their child.

 

Christ this must have hit you hard. I'm just glad you don't live in the Manchester area.

 

Disgusting cowardly attack. Horrific.

RIP to all the victims

 

These attacks are deliberately aimed at such events...an attack on joy.

 

You must be feeling it almost as badly then, mate.
RIP to all ....

 

Feeling pretty sickened by everything ... thoughts are with those affected.

 

Eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos from Leyland, Lancashire, was killed in the attack.


As has been said before by others , I actually shed a tear earlier on today .

 

"'We had to pull nails out of children's faces': Steve, a homeless man who was sleeping near #Manchester Arena, rushed to help young victims"

Steve and others showing humanity and helping the injured is the brightest part of this disgusting event. We beat scum like this by being united.

 

Roger Moore has died at 89.

 

Blimey , good innings . R.I.P .

 

Raises an eye brow in respect.
