....... at the news that a man, in Oxford, died after losing control of his mobility scooter and plunging into a canal http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-25612410
I felt so guilty cos I knew it was so wrong to laugh...feel a bit better knowing I wasn't the only one! It's one of those things you can't help I think.
They let people loose on these things with no checks or tests........not even common sense required by the look of it
Worst thing is its one of those lingering stories that hides itself away in your head and will decide to pop out at the wrong time and make you laugh for apparently no reason. When others ask you what you're laughing at you have to keep quiet and look like a tit cos its better looking like a tit than a bastard. Twice already today that's happened to me!
It makes you wonder if it's drink involved or whether InjuryLawyers4U will be contacting TomTom on Monday
Whilst those of moronic attitude may find humour in this, it will be interesting to hear any follow up articles about the man's mental state or the nature of his affliction. Who knows it could have been a planned accident.
From the report I read earlier it implied that the whole footpath was flooded and that he just misjudged which bits were flooded footpath and which bits were the River Thames and only found out when he stopped going forward and started going down.
poor sod. Speaking of losing control. [video=youtube;oCwdcUnQCHc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCwdcUnQCHc[/video]
I'm not a moron mate and would've been diving into the water, to save the bloke, while 'non-morons' stood by wringing their hands and whimpering. Whatever the consequential stories of 'mental illness' or whatever it's funny now without wishing the man any harm .......... it's just a grander version of Laurel slipping on a banana skin. If you can't see the humour then the moronic attitude may well be your own I'm afraid.
No mate. I can only get there once a season if I'm lucky. I'm coming up in early Feb for a weekend and was gonna see the Hull game but instead, my wife and I will probably go see the Little George charity match instead, and fit family and friends around it. Seems a better way to spend £50 quid or so.
