Everything going off on the Cardiff side of things is pretty bizarre and i don't think that is insensitive.

The Cardiff players are now afraid of flying? Really? Just in case airborne tragedies are picking out players contracted to Cardiff City.
Warnock told the players they don't have to play against Arsenal but they all chose to play because they have all been so brave.
 
I've been trying to transfer it to a real life situation. Such as a new starter at work who i briefly met at their interview being in a fatal car crash on the way to their first day. Of course i would be quite upset, but probably only slightly more than if i saw the story on the news.
I'd be at work that day and every day that follows. Wouldn't make me scared to drive to work...
Am i missing something?

No you are right it's pathetic these days how people bang on about it .I've lost my parents and my sister at a very young age .There's not a Mothers Day or Father's Day that doesn't piss me off but it's life .
My mum and dad wouldn't want me to be miserable for the rest of my life and I want my kids and grandkids to go on and enjoy their after I've popped my clogs .It's the circle of life.

An old cowboy sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.

She turned to the cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'

He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy.'

She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'

The two sat sipping in silence.

A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'

He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian.'

A bride on her wedding night says to her husband 'I must confess darling, I was a hooker!'. 

He says 'That's all right, dear. Your past is your past, but I must admit that I find it quite erotic. Tell me about it'. 

She replies 'Well, my name was Bob, and I played for Wigan !'. 

I had only got my ball bag out to girlfriends up until my operation and infection. Must have had 20 people have a look including a training group of junior doctors inside of 2 weeks.
Now I just whip my ball bag out whenever. ?

@Moist One Don't be alone over Christmas if you don't want to be. Pm me anytime if you fancy a pint. 
Ps Obviously, you'd have to be really desperate!

I would probably feel the same ,but it's totally irrational and you will be fine .Good luck [you won't need it by the way]

People that  wave their  fist or give an offensive sign to other drivers ,please be aware that one day you will have to go the whole way .So if you're not prepared to get out of the car to sort it please refrain .

Sorry mate I'll keep this short ,he's no mate he's a nob .You sound a decent normal guy try not to forget that. What you have described is quite prevalent in the sales environment .

Another driving related thing that bugs me (you could probably have a separate thread on driving stuff alone), and this one will be controversial. 
People who get annoyed when I filter in at roadworks, or even on a slip road. 
I just saw a Facebook post from a friend, and had to give him an angry face. It said ‘I don’t care how many cones you knock down, I’m not letting you in, cos you saw the sign two miles ago, just like I did.’
I totally disagree with that sort of attitude. It’s the people who see the sign saying ‘roadworks 2 miles ahead’ and then instantly filterninto the other lane. Everyone does it, leaving a two mile stretch of lane with no traffic, and two mile tailback on the other lane. 
Its stupid, and it causes more tailbacks and traffic than is necessary. If everyone just filtered, ‘like a zip’ as they say in America, at the actual roadworks, it would be a problem. The sign doesn’t compel you to move over, it’s just informing you that roadworks are coming. 
I’ve seen clips on Facebook of people actually moving out to stop people from going down the inside lane. What a twit! If your the kind of stupid person who likes to queue for an hour, you fill your boots, but there’s nothing stopping you from doing what I’m doing, the only one breaking any rules by blocking me off is you.
The only reason people do that is because they’re afraid no one will let them in when they get to the end. And they’re right to be afraid that they’ll be left stranded and hitting traffic cones, because people are dheads. But the people who properly use that inside lane are in the right. 
The same applies for filtering onto a road with the traffic. The amount of times I see people try to filternonto the a52 going towards the pentagon, but they choose the first 10 yards of the filter lane to merge, and look all surprised when I drive right to the bottom of the filter lane, another couple of hundred yards, and filter there, bypassing 20 odd cars. 
It’s like purposefully choosing the longest queue at the super market. I don’t get why you’d do that. 

Many years ago, I gave a lift home to a lad of about 18. He'd been out with one of my daughters, on a first date. When they got back, I offered him a lift back to his place.  
He got into the car, and without saying a word, ejected the cassette from the player (it was a long time ago!), and replaced it with one from his jacket pocket. Then pressed play. 
There wasn't a second date. 

Come on Kev... Get it on.

My mate's just bought this one ,tried it on the other day ,it's a nice thing to own.

Have a new love for this one with the black canvas strap.

Got it..
 

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost
 

 
 
He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted:  'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am.' 
 

The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'  
 

 
 
'You must be an Engineer,' said the balloonist. 

 'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?' 

'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost.
 
Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.' 

The man below responded, 'You must be in Management.' 

'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?' 

'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. 
 
You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.
 
You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.
 
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my ducking fault.'
