Even if you seriously dislike someone and their posting style, to gloat and joke about a life threatening condition/scare is to my mind simply appalling.
In this instance, instead of being called a wannabe mod, a nosy beak, or even a snowflake, I'm happy to wish Joe well after his recent breathing scare and bow out of here for a long breath of clean fresh air.
Have a wonderful summer everyone!

Re: First thought - was he p*ssed???
I think it’s the way some of us perceive things and come to a conclusion before seeing the true picture.When l saw that the 79 year old Field Marshal Charles Ronald Llewelyn Guthrie, Baron Guthrie of Craigiebank, had fallen off his horse and smacked his head on the ground, l felt immediate sympathy for an elderly man, riding in full uniform on a very hot day. I didn’t even think of alcohol!!
I then googled this man and saw what a fine looking, highly decorated military man he was in his day.
He served with the Welsh Guards and Special Air Services.
He was head of the professional armed forces. He was involved in military operations in Northern Ireland. He was an advisor to the British government during The Bosnian and Kosovo wars plus much more.
To see him described as ‘pissed’ was out of order.

As for going off topic - I thought this thread was supposed to be about the elderly chap falling off his horse!

I just hope none of his friends and family are reading UJ's unpleasant post

Just seeing these people prancing around in full uniform on a hot sunny day, I automatically have respect and empathy for them. Add to that the fact that one of them is 79 years old doing it, amplifies my feelings. When I read the title I just assumed it was about someone being really mad. I’m glad to have learned different.
Thank you.

I would hope that the majority of people in this country would have the decency to show sympathy for any member of the military who defended this country.
