Worst thing you've ever seen?

I blame @RobMCFC who nominated fucking OK Computer on the Album of the Week thread.

Karma........ police

Finding my girlfriend, 41, dead on the floor at her house six years ago will take some beating. Had dropped her off the afternoon before with no signs of anything being wrong. Tracing things back, she’d been dead about 18 hours, so a couple of hours after I dropped her off.

Think it would have been over very quickly.

Something like that will never leave you and it reinforces just how fragile and precious life is.

Fookin ell.
You know, we on this site (as a City family) post stuff about MCFC; other clubs; shite media; solving the world's problems (!); etc, but, jeez mate, that is terrible. .
I know you post a lot on various topics.
I/we hope you are ok.

On a lighter note, a girl at work who was wearing a skirt shat herself something rotten all over the office floor. To be honest, due to the stench, that might even beat my first 2

According to my mate, there's websites out there that make decent money out of posting scat sort of content.

Corrected.

Kin ell, this is a fucked up thread

Burning some old tree branches in our backyard, the fire wouldn't take so I got a can of petrol from the garage and chucked a bit on to help thing along, I was holding the can in one hand, it still had about 3 litres of petrol in it, something made me look at it and there was a flame coming out of the spout, I completely panicked and shit myself and just lobbed it near some trees ran into the house heart pounding and waited for an explosion which never happened thank fuck.
But that flame was fucking horrible. I really thought I was gonna die.

Just to lighten up the thread a bit!

 

[yerwot?]

on a non-gore note, the sight of politicians in an organised publicity stunt "clapping the nurses" ..the ultimate pisstake...

That sounds absolutely horrific, what was the cause if you don't mind me asking ?

That’s actually unckear because the postmortem said it was an asthma attack (she was asthmatic, but her symptoms had eased considerably in the weeks before her death) but that didn’t add up as it was clear from the nature of the body that she’d died very suddenly and only just got off the bed and made no effort to retrieve an aspirator, of which there were two within reach. She was face down and her arms folded across her front right next to her bed, which also doesn’t stack up with an asthma attack. Think she’s had an aneurysm or an SCA.

My brother, who’s a consultant and who has conducted numerous postmortems said he didn’t agree with the findings and that my view was likely to be correct. He said that pathologists, once suspicious circumstances and genetic causes (if there are children) are ruled out, they tend to go for the most likely outcome based on the path of least resistance which asthma was because she was an acute sufferer.

It doesn’t really bother me who is right, and certainly isn’t something that remains an open wound, and didn’t at the time. I understand the pathologist had to evaluate things based on certain criteria and use his best judgement, which I happen to disagree with. It doesn’t really matter who’s right; it’s not changing anything. I know what I saw and an asthma attack simply doesn’t add up based on that, and my brother agrees with me.

I also take some comfort from the fact that the very sudden nature of her death (as it surely was) meant it was relatively painless and didn’t involve any real suffering. She’d had a hard time before we met, both in her childhood and at the hands of other men, and I wouldn’t have wanted her to know she was dying especially as she had three kids (who I’m still in contact with). She was the bravest person I ever met, but I wouldn’t have wanted her knowing she was on her way out, especially as her three year old was with her in the house when she died.

I’m ok mate. My life is great and I’ve met someone else who is amazing. I’m very lucky indeed.

She was an incredible girl. From a very hard, abusive upbringing in Glasgow she became a professional ballerina a nurse and then a university lecturer in midwifery, and I admired, respected and loved her very much and I’m very glad I met her. I think about her often.

Without trying to sound like a bit of a dick. Is it appropriate to give a like to a heartbreaking post about the loss of a loved one? To me it seems wrong but there is no other way of showing support to the poster i guess?
How are likes received by posters of similar content?

Sorry to hear that mate.
That's stopped me in my tracks.
