Oh I know that filthy minstral brings out the worst in us all, with her slightly toasted crumpets soaked in rancid ghee butter and chocolate spead. I am hungry now, thanks to the lil who-er.

Let's be fair now; your age is no laughing matter!I remember a year or two after the death of Matthew,our week old son,someone made a joke in the pub,in front of me regarding a babies death.There was a sudden hush and the joker couldn`t understand why it didn`t get a laugh,until one of my mates pointed out "do you not recall what happened to Oakie and his Family last year ?"
The twat didn`t know where to put his face.He was lucky that it wasn`t in front of my knuckles.Suffice to say he apologised,bought me a drink and I warned him about such jokes as he would have no idea as to who he would be offending.
We all laugh at various jokes,religion,politics,disabilities and I even laugh at my own disability and age,because I can give as good as I get.

I know mate, some close to the knuckle subjects are used all the time by comedians and people in general all the time. Some of which can and do make all of us and even those affected by the subject laugh from time to time.
But something like that to even pop into someone's head is beyond a joke and very alien to me.
In your situation you did very well to not allow it to end up that you've damaged the blokes mouth. He apologised and obviously felt a c**t, enough so that you accepted his apology and drink.
I'm not saying this young prat who's tweeted to Harry Arter needs to be hung or vilified for the rest of his days. I was just shocked how low somebody would go to get a bit of attention off the gallery on a social media platform.
Then CITD1988 said that he says worse on a regular basis which for me just seemed bizarre for any normal thinking person. That's why I labelled him an attention seeker.
I'm no saint, nor am I judge and jury on how people should act or think. I'm just not understanding how anybody would feel that this subject is fair game where jokes and hurtful comments are concerned.
Enjoy Dublin. I like a Guinness myself and a trip to Ireland is on the to do list.

Bring two wallets; Dublin is not cheap. And pay no heed to the amount of Liverpool and rag followerrtes you'll come across. Dubliners are simple minded folk, they tend to sway with the breeze.66 years of age and never been pissed,kissed or managed a hard on !!

I think its also important to remember this wasn't someone trying to be funny and telling a joke, he was being vindictive about what happened to him and his family. A joke is bad enough but i get that happens like Oakie pointed out. However, this was a guy preying on the guy having a dead child, there was no humour in those tweets.I know mate, some close to the knuckle subjects are used all the time by comedians and people in general all the time.

That sums things up perfectly. It was just malicious.

Absolutely.
I only got involved in the thread because I'd read CITD1988 post on asking whether people are actually that horrified because he says worse things regularly. I found it odd, said so and then the comparison to saying things in a joke context with friends about other tragedies got used as the discussion evolved.
It was said in a vindictive context so the lad who said it can't even use it being a badly timed and bad taste joke as an excuse.
Sad thicko who's ruined his immediate future by not thinking before acting the big boy to the gallery on Twitter.
Yep,Ireland isn't green it's red.Bring two wallets; Dublin is not cheap. And pay no heed to the amount of Liverpool and rag followerrtes you'll come across. Dubliners are simple minded folk, they tend to sway with the breeze.
